@maiwandwardak001.bsky.social I can see you are a good man. Have one of my drawings.

We are about to complete four years since the fall of Kabul by the Taliban, and Afghan girls are still not allowed to study. 💔

This little Afghan girl says, “Don’t move me to a safe place, make my home a place of peace for me”.

I love these. So free with heaps of energy just like the music. The 4th one has the music playing in the white space.
Thank you.

Orchestra rehearsal live sketch with watercolour + pen and ink.

Sketching an orchestra practice in the '90s. I was later asked to send some of these to a publisher and they were used in a book, but they came back quite crumpled. There are more of them. Pleased to look back at the life that one can express drawing directly without a camera

Good to see that more and more steamrolling Scott and the Smug Face he tries to throw up. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

I want to watch you paint!

Just re-upping this again because the Temu Trumps in the LNP insist on bringing every culture war here: the Morrison govt spent $20.8bn on consultants in its final year - the equivalent of 54,000 FT public servants. The private sector benefits with govt cuts. No one else.

Thanks for your amazing work!

Keep doing your good work, David. If they complain, you're doing something right. You're speaking with a social conscience, they are not awake yet. Your work may help them eventually, we hope. There's always hope!

I think you're correct, sadly. In my 85 years, I've never seen anything like it. But I do know change comes from the bottom up. Are there enough of us at the bottom to create the change. Paulo Freire spirit, come to reassure us.

Sam Mostyn, our Gov Gen, epitomised everything Australia needed at this moment.
Dignified, respectful, eloquent and non-political.

Me too!

It is demeaning to all Jews to weaponise antisemitism by comparing Islamic State, trained in the Philippines, to anti genocide protests. IS hate all of us, not just Jews. To sow division and hatred is what they do - and it is now what Frydenberg has done, divided us when we should be unified. Shame.

Thank you!

Mark Kelly: "For most of Donald Trump's career, bullying people has worked out for him, but not now, because I won't let it happen. President Trump is trying to silence me, threatening to kill me for saying this true, & he sent his secretary after me, & it's not going to work."

Thanks for your work.

Viola Fletcher, Oldest Survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Dies at 111

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Democracy normally works better with a competent opposition. However, the Coalition has completely abandoned its values of small government, individual responsibility, and reward for effort in favour of racism, cultural wars and climate denial.

Our democracy is better without them.

I think the blue does something.
