Here's a COOKING TIP from me for Australians who want to thicken their stews and don't want to use flour or cornflour. Use a big spoon of "FHC" by Red Tractor (Coles). It stands for Flax Hemp Chia and it's not whole seeds, but is ground into a meal. It works really well! 😃

Dr Oz says the US is “under babied” Kennedy says declining birth rates are a national security threat Neither will do a damn thing to control measles and infectious diseases that are disabling & killing kids Neither will address gun violence which takes the lives of countless kids every year

Gaza today.

Free Dr Hussam Abu Safiya. Free Dr Marwan Al-Hams They are hostages, they are heroes, they are caged without cause and IsraHell refuses to release them.

Another article that fails to talk about COViD being predominantly airborne and just focuses on handwashing only. Also again, no mention of #PostInfectionRisk. This is not a normal situation to be failing to prevent airborne infections. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Huge rally for Free Palestine today - I think the biggest ever. South Australian’s want a just, lasting peace, Palestinian statehood and self-determination, hostages free, pursuit of war criminals and an end to any Australian public investment in armaments.

More Bad JuJu for kids and Cøvid. Cardiovascular health is something we should explore. Dyslipidaemia and endothelial injury aren't isolated to adults! journals.lww.com/hhmi/fulltex...

Look at the Israelis. They don't belong, &they know it. Their very genes testify to the fact that their ancestral land is in Europe. No amount of killing will ever change that. Their descendants will try, they'll appropriate things &try to make a culture, but it won't be native.

It's sad being the descendant of colonial settlers. I feel colonialism creates 2 victims: the indigenous people, but also the colonial descendants who live divorced from their ancestral land, always knowing they are feral in their new land. They get angry bc they don't belong/2

Jane Goodall offers sage advice for the rest of us. #3E

This Anthropic settlement case…fellow authors, are any of you feeling rage? I have 12 books listed and money (I don’t CARE how many thousands, even millions) is NOT adequate compensation. What was stolen & used without my permission is priceless! Where is the option to scrub my work from AI?!

It’s so ironic. People pirated shit selfishly. All these years. We creatives have endured excuse after excuse for doing it. Writing cease and desist letters; it was like playing whack a mole. And that pirating is what allowed these AI companies to do even worse. Great job, people. Thanks.

I’d take THAT option (plus, real justice for doing it in the first place!!) over the pennies offered in the settlement any day. It’s not about money. Don’t “crawl” my work. Period. I don’t want to be paid to allow AI to use my work, I do NOT WANT MY WORK USED TO TRAIN AI. I do not allow it.

A four post thread, eloquently reflecting my feelings, along with just about every author I know.

Opinion | Despite Israel and Hezbollah reaching a ceasefire agreement in November, the Lebanese army says more than 4,500 violations have been carried out by Israel since then, including a recent strike that killed three young children.

Open letter to the EU about Israel and Gaza Former EU diplomats call for immediate implementation of EU measures against Israel’s unlawful actions in Gaza and West Bank John A Clarke @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

Israel murdered the talented Palestinian baby photographer and photojournalist Yahya Barzeq. I don't know if, but very much doubt that his family has survived the bomb explosion. He clearly was such a gentle and kind man. 💔

I am deeply concerned about the treatment of people living in tents in the Southern Parklands in Adelaide. People are having their homes rolled up and removed while away, returning to find their important personal possessions gone. This is wrong, and unjust. 🧵

Labor Premiers, stop acting like Liberals and start thinking of your roots.

Hastie's crap. As a local member, he is do-nothing crap. Morrison vibes. It's all photos and posturing.

UPDATE!! SPAIN is now sending a navy ship, too, like Italy, to help the humanitarians in the Freedom Flotilla who are being threatened by the genocidal, extremists in Israel's IDF and government! aje.io/o9z22s

BREAKING! ITALY IS SENDING A NAVAL SHIP TO DEFEND THE FREEDOM FLOTILLA FROM THE EVIL ISRAEL IDF! www.difesa.it/primopiano/d...

I dunno, she may have not believed he was guilty then. Fair enough. Lots of people are friends with dodgy liars until eventually they are convinced for them selves. Look at Trump. There are millions, despite the evidence, who believe everything he says. People are gullible, but it's not a crime.

Today an insurance company refused me house & contents insurance because their modelling shows my house will be flooded in the near future. The house has been here 75 years and, while the land has seen significant flooding, the house has never been inundated. Fuck corporations before they fuck you.

Honk for Palestine in Launceston, lutruwita / Tasmania, this morning! 🍉🇵🇸 #StopGazaGenocide‌NOW

What kind of person makes these sorts of lists? I mean, why bother? It's like outing yourself as really, really puerile, and really, really triggered, isn't it? 🤷‍♀️

About damn time someone spoke out about these killings of boaters whom SCUMp “THINKS” are drug dealers!!! A wonder Venezuela and Colombia haven’t already declared WAR on the sonofabitch!!!

So everyone understands. I got stuck at 10.35pm and I didn’t have my phone with me,so after 45mins of trying to get out I started banging on the wall and yelling out to Russ who heard me at 12.40pm. The CFA got here at 12.50 and got into the unit and got me out. I think I owe them a drink. Ian

Well it happened, got stuck in the dunny for over 2hrs and I had to get the CFA to get me out😳😳🤣🤣Ian

LIVE: Palestinians flee Israel's ground offensive in Gaza City

Israeli forces are pushing deeper into Gaza City as the full-fledged military ground invasion continues despite mounting international condemnation. "It's just extermination for the sake of extermination."

"The Gaza holocaust was made possible by the embrace of the ethno-supremacist logic inherent to Zionism. Therefore it must be said clearly: Zionism, in all its forms, cannot be cleansed of the stain of this crime. It must be brought to an end." www.972mag.com/israel-holoc...

Handwashing only WILL NOT protect you from an airborne virus.

Enclosed poorly ventilated spaces carry the biggest risk. Even if you are only masking on Public transport & in healthcare/chemists you will be reducing the spread. Please also remember that this year there are over 13 million clinically vulnerable with no vaccine access and everyone is at risk from

I’ve just upgraded to an ffp3 because #COVID cases are rising here again slowly. Over the Summer cases in the UK were running at around 1 in 260 but now they are around 1 in 90 on some analysis of wastewater/PCR tests. I imagine a fairly sporadic picture around the country but I wouldn’t step foot

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

“The Israeli military bans fishing in Gaza’s waters and targets anyone attempting to go to sea with gunfire or arrests, despite fishing being one of the few ways to secure food amid the humanitarian collapse.”

Billions for fictional subs & other weapons of war but no money for hospitals, mental health, education, raising the rate, dental etc😠
