Most grateful for this in-depth review of Heronbones. Thank you @bernardzuel.bsky.social

RUTH HAZLETON – HERONBONES: REVIEW RUTH HAZLETONHeronbones (independent) SOMEWHERE IN THE ELDTRITCH environs of Tri-Coloured House, between Ruth Hazleton’s questioning voice and the displaced-from-this-realm one of Aoife Nic Dhiarmada,...

"There's even more space in The Heron (Two Sisters) which is airy, almost flighty, even as the murdering sibling ploughs through the ringing tone & marching banjo - 'Love does not make women free/Nor does murder bring peace to thee'." New @ruthhazleton.bsky.social

It's not that time is irrelevant with @ruthhazleton.bsky.social's gripping new album, it's that it stretches & bends to accommodate stories & sounds that remake your view of folk, & folks.

Old tea towel for the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, with kids climbing on a playground with trees behind and the slogan “It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the Air Force has to hold a cake stall to buy a bomber”

Really feeling this one right now

Woodcut illustration depicting a demonic figure with horns, wings, and a tail standing in the center, surrounded by four women, likely representing witches, who appear to be offering or receiving small dolls or effigies. Above them, three flying creatures with human-like forms and animalistic wings are shown in the sky. The image evokes themes of witchcraft and devil worship, typical of early modern European depictions of witch trials.

Agnes Sampson, a midwife and healer from North Berwick, was accused in 1590 of raising storms against King James VI’s fleet. Her trial reveals the tangled roots of folklore, politics, and misogyny in Scotland’s witch panic. #FolkloreThursday

If the Albanese government wanted a trade policy retaliation for the Trump tariffs, I’ve got just the thing: local content requirements for American content companies. Force Netflix to carry 25% Australian content for local audiences, or pay a big levy

'Did you even say thank you?'

A reminder for these times.

Have come to the conclusion that grant-writing is essentially a task in being able to reformat templates to answer hideously-worded questions, over-complicate simple project ideas and over-simplify complex creative process. I swore I’d not do this again, but here I am.

Sage advice, though we’re still waiting for Australia’s first confirmed witch bottle, and that becomes less and less likely with the passing of time.

Apotropaic markings and concealed shoes, however, we have a wealth of these!

Mandatory minimum sentencing is proven to be bad policy. It won’t stop hate crimes Extensive evidence shows the government’s plan to legislate mandatory minimum sentences for hate crimes, including antisemitic acts, won’t be effective. Here’s why.

My excellent brilliant partner, Lorana Bartels, writes today that mandatory minimum sentences are bad policy.

Applying this bad policy to the real problem of antisemitism and other hate crimes is particularly ironically stupid, as it undermines the rule of law.

This shit will only make shit worse.
