The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory explicitly names the Israeli President as responsible for inciting genocide — and yet Albanese is inviting him here. Shameful and scandalous!

We need to re-embrace complexity and nuance in thinking about and discussing the Jewish future.

‘Buddo’ - a rare representation of a human figure from the British Neolithic, dating to around 2900-2400 BC. Discovered at Skara Brae in the mid-C19th, it was re-discovered amongst the archaeological collections at Stromness Museum in 2016. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday #Archaeology

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that two years of weaponised genocidal mass murder in Gaza has probably made global political violence and terror *MORE* likely, not *LESS* likely
And that opposing mass death makes you anti-terrorism, not pro-terrorism

Protesting the slaughter of Palestinians is NOT antisemitism.
If the Labor government legislate to ban legitimate and justified protests in Australia, it will be the beginning of a journey down a very dark path.

Zohran Mamdani explains that thousands and thousands of New Yorkers are already eligible for free and reduce public transportation, but because of the bureaucratic hurdles they never get enrolled in the program.
That's why he wants to just make the bus free.

This 'Aussie Christmas tree' photo is doing the rounds again - usually without attribution.
It was taken by Layn Simpson of Gympie - in his backyard.
An excellent snap.
I have an invitation to visit next time I'm in Gympie so I'll look forward to that.
You can find Layn on Instagram. Worth a follow.

Incredible story from SBS News about an unnamed second Middle Eastern man who kicked the younger murderer's gun out of the way - and because of his appearance he was briefly attacked himself.

It’s time for my annual thread of Australian poetry books you should buy ppl for Xmas. No one buys poetry partly cos it’s intimidating. It rarely makes xmas book guides. But poetry is an ethical gift that: supports underfunded writers; wins brownie points with gift receiver; improves the human soul
