Government considering military assistance request from Gulf states Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong says the government is considering requests for military assistance from Gulf countries targeted by Iranian attacks.

Nope. Let the US and Israel protect them.

Surely the brilliant US military has plans in place, given they started this war?

Surely.

“Albanese’s enthusiasm to get back on the fascist genocide train shows he has no concern about backlash from the opposition
…but every day he’s losing support from the Labor base.” @davemilbo.bsky.social #SundayShot #auspol

YouTube video by The Sunday Shot Casus Contrived - March 8 - Scott Burchill, Michael West, Ian Dunt

Absent any meaningful analysis, or even coverage, on MSM, latest #SundayShot is a “must see” for a clear-eyed, articulate critique of the #RogueStatesOfAmericaAndIsrael actions and #auspol acquiescence

Photo of two tiny mushrooms growing from a green, algae covered stick. The mushrooms are tan/yellow in colour with dark ridging on the caps.

Lichenomphalia umbellifera on an algae-covered stick. This species of mushroom is a basidiolichen lichen. Fungal hyphae integrate with algal cells, using the food produced by the algae through photosynthesis.

International Women’s Day started in revolutionary and labour movements. Somewhere along the way it became:

- International Women Who Can Afford $250 Tickets Day

- International Women Who Get Paid A Lot To Sit On Boards Day

- International Cupcakes And Tokenism Day /1

Dr Space Junk 20 Years of Blogging Feminist as Fuck Edition This beautiful artwork is by archaeologist Dr Katherine Cook  https://drkrcook.wordpress.com/  This blog is 20 years old! My first post was ...

It's International Women's Day! It's a day to be feminist as fuck, so here are a few of my favourite blog posts (written by me) on this theme. #IWD2026 #WomenInSTEM

Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people? Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran. Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth? Hegseth: We’re investigating. Trump: It was done by Iran. They are very inaccurate with their munitions.

this is unspeakable

“The skies over the Northern Hemisphere have taken an unexpected turn, as a rare early-season polar vortex shift forms. Meteorologists are closely monitoring the situation, warning that this March’s intensity could be unlike anything seen in years.../2

Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.

“We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”

A Lost Dog

We have a dog. She's a collie crossed with a kelpie (Australian sheepdog). Whilst happy with the presence of some other dogs, she much prefers people & will happily greet strangers like long-lost friends, flopping over to enjoy scratches and resting her head on their foot for closeness.

I think the universe is conspiring, time for a second dog is the prompt. Writ large.

Malorie Blackman on Noughts & Crosses at 25: ‘It’s even more relevant today’ Her YA classic was inspired by racism in 1990s Britain. A quarter of a century later, she talks about success, death threats and getting shoutouts from Tinie Tempah and Stormzy

NSW government has already made contact with Newcastle Writers Festival board about including Palestinian-Australian author Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, ABC reports

When will the bullying & intimidation stop ?
