My late mum would have been raging about Gaza, and refusing our elected reps even one moment of peace while Palestinian mothers (and all Palestinians) suffer and grieve.
This Mother’s Day I’m thinking about all the Palestinian women who’ve lost their children and the Palestinian children who’ve lost their mothers

What an excellent watch from Sarah Davis Baker. Not just for the nostalgia, but also astute capturing of the historical experience of being online and the optimism that the internet doesn't have to be this bad/boring/impersonal/exploitative/isolating. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYlc...

Liz is a great artist and genuinely lovely soul, from my memory of her as a classmate some 25 odd year ago! Always been a helluva talent.
Liz Stringer: The Second High review – an intelligent, assured album from a singular musician
Liz Stringer: The Second High review – an intelligent, assured album from a singular musician
All but ignored by the mainstream, Stringer seems unconcerned by wider radio play, with her seventh album for patient and attentive listeners * Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning During 2021 and 2022, Australian singer-songwriter Liz Stringer played to the sort of crowds some would say she had always deserved. Arenas of loud, passionate fans, 10,000 or more at a time, baying every last line back at her. Unfortunately, they weren’t her words: Stringer had been employed as a backing singer for Midnight Oil, as that band’s storied career finally drew to a close. It helped cement Stringer’s reputation as a musician’s musician – someone other musicians admire and want to play with, rather than a star in her own right. Approaching the third decade of her career, she remains beloved by community radio, adored by a cult fanbase and all but ignored by the mainstream. The Second High, her seventh album, probably won’t change any of that, and that is a reflection on the myopia, ageism and sexism of the music industry.

It's the eve of lunar new year. Traditionally for Chinese families, it's reunion dinner night where the entire family gets together for a meal.

Would you like a story of AI ghosts, nosy relatives and mouth watering Peranakan food?

I gotchu!

First, spread the word about how the culture at Bluesky is to protect Palestinians and let people know information on their fundraising and how they can verify it which you can find here (it’s also pinned to my profile)
I am going to try to keep adding accounts here as I work through the Palestinian accounts here.

I am going to make this 🧵 to answer as many common questions about these accounts as well as other Gazan GoFundMes as I can so put a 📌 in it if you need a central location for these questions.
I’m going to make individual posts for the Palestinian accounts I’m boosting today so they don’t get lost in a thread but if you are looking for them all in one place I’ll link them here 🔽
