Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained"

Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?

It’s gone on too long. Push me over the edge. No, I’m not a fighter, I’m not clinging on to life in brave defiance of inevitable death. I’m hanging on, yes, like a button longing for the thread to snap — useless as a fastener yet dangling in hopelessness and pain that shouldn’t have to be endured. I’m blindly teetering upon the lip of being: which side is solid land and which the welcome void? Whichever way I shift I find myself still here, still wobbling on this unwanted earth, still wishing for the gentle fall.

I confess that I don't know any (though the Confederacy wasn't fascist -- just racist).

All love poems are anti-Fascist.

Leonora Carrington, The Lovers, 1987

Timeless advice (these are all from the 1970s).

I can't imagine why you'd choose to miss out on this offer (unless, like me, you already have them all...). Beautifully produced, lovingly presented and packed, and (most importantly) well-worth reading, and going back to.

Albanese, the Ayatollah, & Australia's Apartheid A masterclass in "turning the temperature down"

I wrote about the war on Iran, the racist colonial narratives that suffuse it, the rank obscenity and stupidity of it all but especially that of the Australian government’s response so far. sakr.substack.com/p/albanese-t...

Ah, perhaps (though it should then have been "a Roman so-called aqueduct").

Wasn't that Mark Twain?

I have a set of found poems with a relevant reference...

I rocked DISCOVR: 2/36 discovr.uk

Why is it referred to (in ALT text) as a "so-called Roman aqueduct"? Even back-translating (speculatively) to "sogenannt", I couldn't work out what was implied.

I've enlarged it, and peered at it - is the little girl just pretending to have a skipping rope?

It's not just MSWord - even good word processors have that problem; I hardly ever remember to choose between "Paste", "Paste without font/attributes", and "Paste as plain text", so I have to "undo" and try again.

"You can't blow up the sun"... Please don't give them ideas.

I think that "strange" is a remarkably restrained description of it.

Thank you!
