Masking indoors in public spaces boils down to this for me now: I love never being sick from airborne infectious diseases. The last cold I had was in early 2019, with not even a sniffle since. The only thing I don't do is dine indoors in public spaces; a good trade for health.

From today’s Genius Loci Digest: "I was quite unwell when I last visited this place, trying to understand why old buildings like this seemed to scatter the shadows." There’s a kind of magic here that stays with you. Read on… ✨ www.digest.andymarshall.co/andy-marshal...

A question on many lips is: where is our so-called envoy on Antisemitism, Jillian Segal, while actual Nazis parade outside Parliament?’

NSW police have gone to great lengths to stop any and every pro-Palestine anti-genocide protest. They didn't even oppose the neo-Nazi rally that was held on the steps of NSW state parliament on Saturday. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Thinking about a question from @timdunlop.bsky.social Why isn’t every vote in parliament a conscience vote? It would be if we expected #MPs to represent us. The block party voting that is such a hindrance to reforms and innovation occurs because WE don’t insist on consultation & representation

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... A former Greens candidate who required surgery after allegedly being struck by police at a pro-Palestine protest says she was “sickened” by the force’s authorisation of a neo-Nazi rally on the steps of parliament, alleging it showed “a clear double standard”.
