A pivotal moment.
Having witnessed unrelenting cruelty in real time,the total destruction of Gaza & invasion of WB, perhaps Western leaders are finally ready to resist the US/Israel final destruction of Palestinian rights, culture, lives. And to support humanitarian peace push WITHIN Israel.

Strength and freshness, spaciousness & some degree of detachment: even more vital in the stories you tell YOURSELF than those you tell to others.

And what has happened since?
The Australian government cannot play “big boys” when it suits, then hide in a cupboard when it comes to the most profound moral crisis of our time.
@tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social You are my elected representative. Speak out. Act. Now.

@cathywilcox.bsky.social - says it all.
When we get the "news" that Littleproud, Mckenzie et al, have decided to slide back for their shadow ministry privileges, while adding NOTHING to the public good...it will not be a good day for Australian politics. Or people.
They represent nothing but miners.

Expressing "mother love" is not confined to mothers only. Nor to women and girls only. Our world needs it. So do we.

Should we view war as "inevitable"? And "war readiness" dominating public conversations with no words about education/support for sustainable peace? The weapons industries are the world's largest. And least transparent. The media propaganda supporting them are enablers at best. We MUST do better.

Attention. Focus. Reflection. Analysis.
That’s surely what we need from MSM with far too many unhinged from recent events and their consequences, and current claims and their likely consequences.No excuses for fatuous suggestions that there’s no difference between the two major parties in Australia.

You're never too young (or old) to get a grip on anxiety..in a world (temporarily) run by those making your anxiety far worse.
I couldn't have known when I began to write YOUR NAME IS NOT ANXIOUS how much it would be needed. We all deserve better, kinder, saner.
If the book helps you, let me know!

Need support in these “destitute times”? I do. These two books give support. As vitally they can inspire you to value the support you can give others.
We can actively defy cruelty & chaos.
We can promote a way of life that sustains people & planet.
