I’m writing to you now from Gaza… so please, read my words carefully.

To the world that has abandoned us
You left us to be killed, to cry ourselves to sleep each night in pain, hunger, fear, and sorrow
We don’t ask for much, just a word of truth, a voice that refuses to stay silent .Help usπŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»

Well. Historical plaque folderol in the UK venerates the grifter Eliza Fraser, libeller of Butchulla people, & BS reason for brief renaming of K'gari as Fraser Island, plus ludicrous summation of Arthur Phillip's failed, brutal faff-around as 1st military colonial governor of NSW. #colonialnonsense

I don’t get why ppl don’t just use a cotton blanket, or a top sheet like Aussies do.Then you can throw off the duvet and still have a light cover.

Hi everyone

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Loved seeing William Wellman’s women-centred Western, Westward the Women, on beautiful 35mm today at the BFI’s #Filmonfilm festival. Hope Emerson as Patience was my favourite.

The Faraday Library at the Institution of Engineering and Technology at Savoy Place (early home of the BBC) is such a peaceful place to work, with an outlook over the Thames. And delicious tortilla de patatas for lunch from Casa Manolo on the Strand.

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone
