Apologies for not being here much recently. For someone with no official job title, it’s bizarre how many hats I appear to wear. It’s Christmas holidays for so many. I am home alone with impossible deadlines that don’t make sense and appear cruel to have set. But must be responded to. #auspol

Genuine antisemitism is insidious, all too prevalent, and has the horrid habit of sneaking through the cracks of genuine, honest, protest.
Vigilance is necessary.
Yet: opposing the arguably genocidal actions of the Israeli government is (pace Jillian Segal, Chris Minns et al) *not* antisemitic.

It doesn’t matter that I wasn’t 8 or under. He was close to 40 and I was 14.
He did the same thing to girls of the same age for years.
Fuck him and anyone who thinks me being 14 instead of 8 makes him not a paedo. 🖕
