Jane Austen's 250th birthday is coming up in December and I hope you'll celebrate by taking a turn about the room, acquiring a passion for dead leaves & closet shelves, and taking a fancy to the last person you could ever be prevailed upon to marry.

Right? Women don't like steroidal thugs, but men whose gaze truly sees, respects, and values them. George Emerson from E.M. Forster's "A Room with a View" and Gilbert Blythe from "Anne of Green Gables" are also iconic examples.

'Diplomatic maturity': Australia must find its place in the global order
Australia must take a proper look at the global order, its place in it and why it remains caught in the slipstream of competing interests.

Waiting for news outlets and reporters to acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, reporting Trump's social media posts on foreign policy without confirmation is deeply irresponsible and an embarrassing failure of journalism.

Amid all the Very Important analyses of strategies and outcomes in the big media, I love how the one option that’s never mentioned is: Israel should cease its unprovoked attacks on Iran, and negotiate.
Pre-emptive attack is self-defence. Bombing for peace.

We spent years being manipulated by conservatives with the ear of establishment centrists and liberals into addressing a fake free speech crisis, precisely so people could be punished for speaking out against perhaps the most contemporaneously well-documented genocide in history

I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.

Hey, guess what?
Nothing you buy here gets back to us.
You can whisper sweet nothings to your book, or curse it with the venom of ten thousand spiders, and we will never know.
We won't know if you read it, give it away, or use it to prop up a wobbly table.
It's yours. And it keeps your secrets.

If you're feeling despair it's because you have a moral compass. It means you're not empty on the inside - that you nurse hope and a sense of justice in a cage next to your heart. You're one of my people and I'll stand with you. There are more of us than they want you to believe. Hold fast.

I’m not the same person I was one really good book ago, one amazing story ago, an artist’s entire discography ago, a film or two seasons of my favourite show ago. Art has always managed to take root in my heart and change it, break it, take it apart and make it restart.
