A DAY!!! Half a million dollars… per day.

So maybe this ‘Gaza Board of Peace’ 🙄 will act as Real Estate agents for land they don’t own? Sounds about right. Please don’t agree to join them #AUSPOL ✊

I wrote this poem as an homage to Baldwin and to hear it being sung across the world or read in protests has been my own guiding light of hope.

Just say no @albomp.bsky.social Don't further implicate Australia in Israel's atrocities.

Evil doesn’t even come close. And if it was the Palestinians doing this to Israel, I would say the same thing.

So, not a terrorist… must be white and not Muslim? He left bombs all around Canberra 🤷‍♀️ Looking forward to hearing more how he isn’t a terrorist because he was acting alone. That hasn’t stopped other people from being called terrorists.

Beatrix Potter is such a hero of mine. Not only for her amazing talents as a writer and illustrator, but also because she had the forethought all those years ago to give land and farms to the National Trust to preserve.

In old England, an ale-pole or ale-stake, set like a flagpole or suspended outside an inn, marked that fresh ale was on sale. Often dressed with ivy, long linked to Bacchus, the Roman god of drink and revelry, it called passers-by to stop and share the cheer 🍺 #FolkloreSunday

I often think of pursuing my PhD, but at other times I catch myself cutting bread with the dull side of the knife and I realize that maybe I should simply be content that I’ve made it this far.

Love this too…

Twenty Aussies are among doctors and healthcare staff volunteering on The Global Mercy, a hospital ship bring medical assistance to people in Africa's Sierra Leone, who wouldn't otherwise be able to get treatment. (These are "Aussie values" that I applaud). www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

When MICHAEL CAINE told his cleaning-lady mother he'd earned a million pounds for a film, she asked "How much is that?” His answer changed her life forever. "It means, Mum, that you’ll never have to work again. You won't have to clean or worry anymore.” And she didn’t.

Pretty funny

What went right this week: the good news that matters Scientists treated an ‘untreatable’ eye condition, the Global Ocean Treaty entered force, and the US murder rate plummeted, plus more good news. #GoodNews www.positive.news/society/good...

Goodnight or good morning all. Thanks for reading me and my opinions x

Some say the poisonous-fruited Euonymus is named after Euonyme who, in Orphic tradition, is the mother of the Erinyes, or “Furies”, the three sister-goddesses who represent vengeance. It is commonly called the spindle-tree because its wood was used to craft spindles, or distaffs.

Good morning, I am once again reminding you all that we are going to keep pushing and we are going to win:

i can't save the world from this insanity, i can't even save myself... but i can share a little art and kindness and maybe, just maybe, this is how we quietly save each other every day

"It's odd how those who dismiss the peace movement as utopian, don't hesitate to proffer the most absurdly dreamy reasons for going to war: to stamp out terrorism, install democracy, eliminate fascism, and most entertainingly, to "rid the world of evil-doers." Arundhati Roy

The AUKUS deal will cost taxpayers at least $368bn to build nuclear submarines for the U.S. with zero guarantee of a single submarine for Australia. Join me in signing the @australiainstitute.org.au petition demanding more scrutiny nb.australiainstitute.org.au/aukus_parlia...

And in light of this 👇 we must bow out of AUKUS. We are just throwing money to placate a petty man and his enablers. We will never see these submarines, and I’d rather we didn’t anyway.

An early (for me) night. Hope you all sleep well, or depending where you are wake up revitalised. You’ll need it x

PM 'National Interest/Australian Values' Albanese needs to explain to the entire community how forcing us to stay silent on genocide represents the Australian way.

Well, well, well… if you were expecting any more elections USA, think again. It appears that your feckless leader has told you once again, what he is going to do. I would like very much to cut ties with the USA government. Under his control, they cannot be trusted. AUKUS be gone.
