Wouldn't it be great if all these pre-existing conditions used to justify covid deaths were also accepted for DSP eligibility???

I wrote a book on Ned Kelly.
He was so loved by his community that not even a £10,000 reward on his head - 10 squillion dollars in today's money - saw them turn him in, and many knew exactly where the Kelly gang was.
Freeman just a flat-out murderer.
No comparison.

Jana Armstrong dreamt of being a mum, now her baby boy will be forced to grow up without her. Pig hunters found her body dumped in bushland overnight. Her ex-partner is now accused of killing her, days after telling 7NEWS he had no idea where she was. @mhammond7

Good morning.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

In October 1942, a terrified nineteen-year-old Jewish girl knocked on the door of Céleste Varon, a 63-year-old seamstress who lived alone with her elderly cat.

The girl was the Mandel daughter from the second floor.

The girl’s parents had already been taken by the authorities, and she had absolutely nowhere left to go. Céleste did not make a grand speech, and she did not hesitate.

She simply stepped aside, let the frightened teenager inside her two-room apartment on the Rue Sainte-Catherine, and quietly decided to change history from her sewing machine.

For forty years, Céleste had a reputation in her Bordeaux neighborhood as the woman who could make something from nothing.

She spent her days doing close work by her window, watching the world change through the glass. When the German occupation brought terror and yellow stars to her streets, she did not see a political crisis.

Instead, she saw a practical problem that required a practical solution. To survive, her new guest needed to become completely invisible to the soldiers patrolling the city.

Céleste knew exactly how to do that because she understood that how a person is seen depends entirely on what they wear.

She immediately set to work transforming the young girl into her niece.

She did not just alter clothing. She coached the girl on how to walk, how to carry her shoulders, and how to blend into a crowd with the same patient specificity she used during dress fittings.

Later, she used her sharp eyesight and steady hands to alter identity papers, mixing her own inks under a work lamp until the changes were flawless.

"A person is noticed when they look out of place," Céleste whispered to her guests as she worked. "Our job is to make sure you look exactly like what the world expects to see."

Soon, her quiet resistance grew.

Over two years, Céleste hid a total of seven people in her tiny back room.

When her savings ran out in 1943, she took a massive risk to feed them. She started accepting alteration commissions from the wives of German officers.

She sat calmly in apartments decorated with swastika flags, pinning hems and maintaining a perfectly blank expression, using the money from the occupiers to buy food for the Jewish citizens hidden right under their noses.

Twice, the French police searched her building, but they only ever saw an old woman sewing quietly at her machine and moved on.

Of the seven people she sheltered, five survived the war. After the liberation, the Mandel daughter emigrated to Canada and eventually named her own first daughter Céleste.

In 1947, she sent a letter back to the little apartment on Rue Sainte-Catherine, thanking the woman who taught her how to walk down a dangerous street like she belonged there.

They wrote to each other for eleven years until Céleste passed away in 1958, right at her sewing machine, with a piece of fabric still under the needle.

Céleste never asked for fame, medals, or recognition.

She simply went back to her normal life after the war, believing she had just done her job. Today, her story lives on through that single, treasured letter preserved in the Bordeaux municipal archives. It reminds us that ordinary kindness, mixed with a little courage and practical skill, has the power to light up the darkest times and sew a broken world back together.

[Sherele Moody (Femicide Researcher) 🌈 @ShereleMoody]

In just three days, we lost two women and two girls to femicide across Australia.
A man has just been charged with killing Jana Armstrong - she is the fourth female victim of male violence in Australia between July 4 and July 7.
We also lost 13-year-old Layla Jeffery on July 4, a 17-year-old unnamed girl on July 6 and 39-year-old mum-of-two Lavanya Chappa on July 7. In all cases, the accused killers are known to the victims.
This is what a femicide epidemic looks like. It features men and boys killing women and girls because they can. It features failures and holes in our safety nets. It features policy-makers, media and politicians who refuse to act.
We cannot change the story on male violence if we keep turning our eyes away. Please sign the petition for a Royal Commission into Femicide and if you have signed, please pass it onto others to add their signatures.

* You can help me get a Royal Commission into the Killing of Women and Girls by signing the petition using the link in my bio (Insta) or go to: https://t.co/Cxq1KK37O6.

❤️ABOUT THE COUNT❤️
I document all Australian women & children lost to murder, manslaughter, neglect and other unlawful acts regardless of perpetrator gender or relationship to the victim. This means not all women and children killed are lost to domestic violence. They are also killed by people known to them (ie friends) or by strangers. My work includes Australians killed overseas. Every death is documented at https://t.co/DW9BTHwqhk (link in bio).

On the final day of another thrilling @Wimbledon Championships, with 🫡 to all those who have participated, did you know….

💭 100 years ago, in 1926, His Majesty’s grandfather King George VI became the first and only member of the Royal Family to compete at Wimbledon, playing in the Gentlemans’ Doubles. It was, alas, a resounding defeat!

…Ah well, there’s always the strawberries! 🍓

51 years ago today, on July 5, 1975, Arthur Ashe became the first Black man to win a #Wimbledon singles title.

I won the Wimbledon women's singles title the same year, and we shared a dance together at the ball.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.

Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.

So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.
