Y'all ever notice the people who are quick to tell us to forgive white supremacists and other hateful people are never the people who have been harmed?

How 'Wine Moms' Entered the Conversation about ICE The insult wielded against protesters taps into a long tradition of casting wine drinkers as out of touch elitists.

Solidarity with Louise Adler and Randa Abdel-Fattah. We stand against this retrograde decision and with the countless authors withdrawing in support of Randa and her work.

Wow, the Adelaide Writers Festival just happens to disband on the same day as the National Socialist Network. 🧐

I'm a trans woman who, if anyone ever asks, will give my deadname as a different male name each time. It's been the single fastest way to find people who talk behind my back. If that name leaks I know just who leaked it and just who to instant block forever.

Welcome to Costco. I love you.

It’s important to manage your expectations! It’s great to be flexible! In the event of moral or physical catastrophe remember to be mindful and breathe!

Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards Once you’ve traded your principles for proximity to power, do you even run your own company?

It’s the same board and the same festival. The writers week is just one part, a smaller part, of a larger festival. I’ve been asking for a day now when other artists and, more importantly, companies will respond.

I’m very interested to see if other artists engaged by the festival outside the writers silo offer any solidarity.

Are any other artists withdrawing from the festival in solidarity, besides writers in the writers week block? It’s the same board responsible for the entire festival as far as I know but i could be wrong.

Yup.

Steinbeck and Didion. I’m for them!

After several decades of monitoring their activities, it's still odd, even if explicable, to witness public figures express shock & surprise at the existence of nazis in AUS, & almost invariably only when it's thrust in their/our faces. So too, immediate calls for more laws & more police.

Anyway.
