Easter prayers for the resurrection of a just & inclusive reality for all beings. One in which we can all take pride & truly thrive. These wishes are uttered alongside the drumming of this extraordinary woodpecker – the 1st I've ever witnessed IRL – such a resonant voice from such a tiny body

For as long as I can remember there have been Tawny Frogmouths in the trees in this backyard. Even though they are nocturnal carnivores, they have weak feet & no talons, & therefore are not classified as owls. Where there's one, there's almost always two.🦉🦉

‘River to Sea,’ a stirring tune by composer Kellee Green, won the jazz gong at the QldMusicAwards on Tues. Written in response to the livestreamed genocide, Kellee has since come under attack for "vile hate speech" & the awards have lost funding. [1 of 3]

I really wish the left would stop eating itself. At a time of rising global fascism, we need to hunker down collectively, and focus on the true enemies, instead of tearing shreds off each other in a hypercritical echo chamber!

Interesting development.
Merz just said on German TV that the primary priority of his government will be to ensure that Europe can achieve full strategic independence from the United States in the defence against Russia.
Merz was once a die hard Atlanicist. Now, after Trump he is a Gaullist.
Extraordinary.

Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" has perhaps the most memorable opening line in all of Western literature: "I hope you motherfuckers like reading about whales"

I studied film, wrote about it, & discussed it as a broadcaster for over a decade. Recently, however, I've struggled to find a space to hold its magic in our current reality—a framework of madness, horror, & terror. Tilda's speech casts cinema in the realm of possibility, solidarity & imagination.
