Retired minimalist. Found a place in the Central Wheatbelt of WA. Every day I'm amazed with the resilience of this Earth and the persistent damage we humans inflict upon it through consumerism. Heart failure survivor.

An interesting fact about the forthcoming royal commission is that the attempted terrorist attack in Perth on Monday will likely not come under its terms of reference
First Nations leaders have urged governments to take stronger action in response to the alleged attack at an Invasion Day rally in Perth on Monday. Social Justice Commissioner Katie Kiss says failing to do so "sends a message that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people do not matter".

The homemade explosive thrown into a crowd on #InvasionDay has been described by police as “designed to explode” with “mass casualty” potential.

If that’s not terrorism, we need to re-write the dictionary.

It was a fucking bomb.

We should never forget just how completely full of shit is Trump.

It is truly a shame he was ever born. He has not one redeeming aspect to point to from his entire time on this planet.

Just spreads his rancid miasma everywhere on everything and everyone.

If you were going to hold any religious institution in Australia to account, you’d start with the Catholic church
Are prejudicial statements intended to stoke fear and hate against whole religious communities ok under the new hate speech laws?
Just checking…

I need to raise $950 by Monday, 2/9 when I have my PET scan. My pain has been excruciating, as I'm waiting for Signatera results.

My medical debt from 18 years of fighting this beast is crazy!

Can you help? If 25 people donated $20, I'd be about halfway there!

Thank you. ❤️

#Cancer
Fighting #cancer is the hardest thing I've ever done. It's been an 18 year battle - now stage 4.

I need to raise $750 by next week so I can meet my deductible. I see my oncologist on 1/19 & it will all be due.

Dare to chant "From the River to the Sea" in a crowd of thousands and you make headlines in every newspaper for a week. Meanwhile throw an actual bomb into a crowd on Invasion Day and you're a footnote to a wannabe Nazi using racial slurs.

Whom Is ICE Actually Recruiting?
ICE has lowered standards to facilitate a massive hiring spree. Many of the new recruits are plainly unqualified. Are some also white supremacists or domestic terrorists?
