I work in the arts in Adelaide, South Australia. I ride a bike, I sometimes take photographs, and I will probably post about The Beatles.

Disappointed to learn Bad Bunny wore Zara, effectively promoting the brand to millions. Although Zara has made admirable strides to address labor conditions, fast fashion can never be ethical because it depends on rapid production and cheap prices, which results in worker exploitation.

I’m Jewish. I live in Bondi. But I take no comfort from Herzog’s visit
Not all Jews welcome the arrival of Israel’s president in Australia. I am one who believes he will divide us at a time we need cohesion. It is the type of position that has cost me friends.

So apparently soon I could face up to TWO YEARS in jail for political art that says “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” if someone "takes offence". This is what Crisafulli is proposing in QLD. Acceptable speech is narrowing in real time. And it's fckn terrifying.
