Surprise!!! I’m excited to announce @nervetowrite.bsky.social, a magazine for disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent writers to showcase creative innovation and build crip community. We are officially open for free submissions of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, hybrid writing, and artwork!
This Nazi fuck knuckle and associates will be allowed to escalate and escalate and all of a sudden some people are going to be scratching their heads wondering how it happened.
A man that split a woman's head open yesterday, for asking them to just please leave, walked up to a Woman Premier and threatened them and he is still walking around. A 11 year old Aboriginal girl has been in an adult jail for 4 months for shoplifting.
I'd be happy if today's events -- neo-Nazi leadership of a series of white nationalist processions -- meant more people took anti-fascism seriously. That would be both ace & grouse.

It looks like her career died.

He intends swimming in his own mind?
The many generations of Downers have strong form.
Clearly he's permitting anyone who finds his statement provocative to punch him in the face.
One does.
We can only hope it becomes an Olympic event in Brisbane.
It must really suck to be that person.

I mean, he *is* sitting with his legs *crossed*, so,you know.
And the same way he plies a score card in golf.
'Met with' is keeping itself pretty busy.
Or grammatical concepts or punctuation. I would happily dress up as an em dash, or Oxford comma.

A year after Israeli politician Moishe Feiglin invoked the mass murder of our Jewish ancestors in the Nazi holocaust as a model to take over Gaza, the calamity of the Israeli government’s genocide has reached a new and staggering level of mass violence.
Even then, it's only the appearance of advantage - if, as seems so likely, he completely ruins his own capacity to meaningfully effect governance, he'll essentially also be fast tracking the pitchfork industry.
And it reiterates yet again that his interest is, as we kniw,not goveening (duh), but exercise of untrammeled power over others.
To state the obvious, Western journalists, writers, and filmmakers need to talk more about our colleagues being murdered in Gaza and the West Bank. You can do it from pure self interest if you want: every journalist murdered with impunity is a precedent which is headed in your direction
Israel has systematically assassinated Palestinian journalists in Gaza while preventing international journalists from entering for nearly two years, and it does not take much to understand why the IDF views the very concept of journalism as an existential threat
Fucking idiots.
Their This Perfect Day should be the national anthem.
You are not alone.
As evidence grows of deliberate massacres of Palestinians seeking aid at the U.S.- and Israeli-backed aid sites, the pattern of injuries suggests that Israeli military forces and other security contractors staffing the sites are “playing some sort of game” in their targeting of civilians
So it'll be My Pal by God?
The ignorance of, disinterest in and cynicism about history is nauseating.
These people lie so effortlessly because nothing means a thing to them except the next con.

Her second novel, The Long Prospect, is also amazing - if anything I prefer it to this. It's great to see her getting a little recognition again, albeit a bit late.

I mean, it's not as if Tones ever publicly supported anyone who was found by a jury to have sexually abused children, though
Please don't send that fucker back here.
The collection of stones in my drive would like you to please desist from such unfair comparisons.

There are desiccated bits of bug-eaten dogshit on the street with more sentience than Trump.
Even that terrible Doug Yule record.

These things are not mutually exclusive.

Another example of artists being censored and silenced in Australia for speaking out against genocide. In both cases that we know of, they have been artists of colour. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

But Labor is now 'business as usual'. Sadly.
Concerning if true.
I'm truly impressed by how hard you're getting 'depth' and 'quality' to work!
That they seems to be thinking if Abbott as some sort of elder statesman/sage just warms the cockles of my twisted little heart.
Bakers Delight also provided funding to the campaign again the Voice.
I'll take this opportunity to remind folks what a magnificent, tenacious poet Rosemary Dobson was.
No way is anything like that much thought, care or reflection going into that review.
The horror.
For some reason I phrased it way more delicately than I really think is the case. :)
It's arguable that Labor don't want to be made to do things, which would explain their evident vitriol towards the Greens which is absent in their language around the LNP.
And!!
Abd the same intellectual rigour.
Her analysis shares the depth and sophistication of Gina Rinehart's.
I suppose he would drive new policy initiatives.
I have achieved this level of punditry through dogged determination.
