I just keep thinking of all those in Australia who've had friends and family massacred by Israel, including volunteers like Zomi Frankcom - to see Herzog, the political symbol of Israel's racist violence, genocidal hatred and apartheid - paraded and feted by Australia's political class.

Surely he has grounds to press charges?

sorry i missed the virtual meeting on discord, liz. i got hit with the id verification that happens when the app detects youre young

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

One of the highlights of the Australian Open has been Jelena Dokic's commentary. She is such a smart and insightful analyst.

Excellent idea.

I am not enjoying Heatwave Santos.

44° here today (111°F).

Adelaide had a record low of 34.1 last night. I popped outside at 4am when our daughter got up for a feed and it felt like an oven. Just so gross.

I got three requests, which is very exciting!

Maybe I'm an alarmist, but I think the Trump Administration having masked goons murder someone doing no harm and then slandering him on TV is a bit more serious—and legally precarious—than being simply "straight cringe." (Rachel Bade has written for The Washington Post, ABC News, and Politico.)

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1776

There's one foolproof way to gauge whether someone is a millennial or a zoomer: Ask them how they learned the difference between Iceland and Greenland.

If the answer is from D2: The Mighty Ducks, you're talking to a millennial. Otherwise, zoomer.

Friendly reminder that Labor have once again betrayed the LGBTQ community. They have never been our friend.

oh this is so so good

Exclusive: pro-Israel campaign seeks removal of Palestinian DJ from WOMADelaide After ruining the Adelaide and Bendigo writers festivals, pro-Israel supporters are now targeting WOMADelaide’s inclusion of Sama’ Abdulhadi

What is the end game here? No publicly funded cultural events that aren’t approved by Israel? No arts boards that aren’t pro-Israel? The sections of our political class and media who are active in this attempted gutting of our cultural landscape need to ask wtf they are doing here.

Sky News keep posting their Ls lol

I cannot be party to silencing writers, which is why I am resigning as director of Adelaide Writers’ Week | Louise Adler Cancelling the Australian Palestinian author Randa Abdel-Fattah weakens freedom of speech and is the harbinger of a less free nation

Louise Adler has resigned, huge loss to South Australian arts and culture.

This is certainly a lesson in not caving to racist lobby groups.

Black text on white background. Screenshot of ARC’s Network Message regarding delays to grant announcements because of new security arrangements.

⁉️The ARC has delayed outcomes of ALL grants 1–4 months & increased scheduled outcome windows from 2 weeks to 3 months!

This reverses 4 years of progress in providing greater certainty & ability to plan for researchers, their families & unis.

Their excuse? Security checks under new ARC legislation👇

Has the voice over guy for the Golden Globes dropped acid? What the hell is happening?

The Adelaide Writers Festival now wrecked by the Adelaide Festival Board, half of which was appointed late last year: a marketing executive; a former politician; a local councillor/real estate agent; an airport manager; a lawyer; a media consultant; and a banker. Another public arts takeover fiasco.

Grass roots.

It’s going to be an interesting few weeks when the royal commission examines, as I suspect it will, the defraying of social cohesion caused by the organised censorship of writers, artists and employees across the country for daring to speak against an unfolding genocide

Adelaide Writers Week in disarray as more than 40 writers boycott over Board’s ‘censorship’ of Randa Abdel-Fattah Helen Garner, Melissa Lucashenko and Zadie Smith are among the more than 40 writers to have withdrawn from Adelaide Writers Week in the last 24 hours.

Top article from Richard Watts for Arts Hub on the racist decision from the Adelaide Festival for the Adelaide Writers' Week:

www.artshub.com.au/news/news/ad...

Randa Abdel-Fattah uninvited from Adelaide Writers’ Week, because of Bondi, even though they "do not suggest in any way that Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah’s or her writings have any connection with the tragedy at Bondi." She just can't come anymore. Because Bondi.

I stand with Randa and everyone standing against hate, genocide, oppression and terror. In all its forms.
