This is my first post. I am a Kiwi from Aotearoa who lives and works in Naarm on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people. I work in the arts. I like to rescue and repair old machines. I believe in a free and democratic Palestine with equal rights for all who live there. Hope you’re well.

From SBS. A family-themed event being organised by a Zionist Jewish group in Melbourne has been labelled "disgraceful" for "celebrating" Israel's pager attacks in Lebanon last year, which killed dozens of people and injured thousands, including civilians.

Yo. Friends in the US. No one cares about your rabid founding fathers. Stop referring to them to either defend or defend from evil. It’s not the win you think it is. Just talk normally about real things here and now. Please. Begging over here.

This monster should only come here to be arrested. It’s time Australia unshackled its political future from dying US imperialism. Like we did with the British before. Only this time let’s not shackle ourselves to another one.

My partner, and 10 month old, gave me this. Tabka - recipes from uber the rubble by Mona Zahed. Deeply moved. So fitting. So tragic. I am fearful we will need to help rebuild an entire culture from fragments like these. It’s beautiful.

For 6 months, my friend Marwan's family hid in a basement in East Khan Younis. They weren't combatants; just a family praying for survival. Their story is a testament to the human cost of this conflict.

This story should be framed not so much about ABC management's 'defence' of Tingle and Ferguson.
But that the pro-Israel lobby and its proxies in politics and media continue to try to monster the public broadcaster into submission. #auspol

Just a traditional Cthulmus. We are reconnecting with the true spirit of this time. We have decorated the traditional Spiderwort and said the ancient incantations to the watcher in the void. My main concern however is that there may be no Palestinian carpenters left alive after we have opened gifts.

When the public is constantly fed this biased narrative,it's not surprising that any tragedy is exploited to justify violence and portray the aggressor as the victim.These aren't just the opinions of individuals they are the result of a massive media machine that systematically shapes public opinion

I know it’s hard to talk like normal people about interesting things. Our leaders have us scared, angry & fighting each other. They are also committing multiple genocides. However if you like old machines, reuse & need some downtime Simon Fordman’s films are meditative. youtube.com/@simonfordma...

People of the “Christian world” about to auto-pilot into a vulgar display of waste, excess and religious fundamentalism without batting an eye that they are contributing to the genocide of poor Palestinian carpenters named Jesus or any other name. The hypocrisy of this time is deeply sickening.

Okay. So we are all in agreement that the US is openly fascist now right? No longer worth speculating right? Just sound the alarms and watch the social democrats try to appease and then get jailed for their efforts right?

I pulled a broken, old, high mileage Honda CR-V out of a field. I dug in and found out why it was parked. Burned valves and dead coil. At least. So far.
Finally have all the parts to put it back together. Think we can make something cool out of this junk? #hondacrv #oldcars #reuserepairrecycle

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.
"I can't afford a visual artist"
So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?
Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

I finally deactivated my Meta accounts.
The relentless, boosted and vile use of the massacre here in Australia to shore up support for genocide was more than I could take.
I’ll be posting here my opinions and projects.

Ozzy was many things.
One of them was a Zionist. He broke the artist boycott and performed in occupied Palestine. He and Sharon urged others to do the same. While the hundred year genocide was happening.
