Dear Xers -

Just a heads up - I’m abandoning this platform shortly for all the reasons. I’m over on Bluesky (handle below) where the grass is greener and the vibe is way more palatable. Please find me there if you’ve done the switch.

Grassroots Labor members urge Australia to back South Africa’s case against Israel at UN court. The civilised world was silent in face of the Nazi horrors against millions of innocent Jewish people. How can it remain silent now? https://t.co/Hfbm0x6ucN

Things that may not be said about the Israeli atrocities - https://t.co/E5h7tIsmEJ A provocative analysis, hard to disregard:

[Fadi Quran @fadiquran]

The juxtaposition in this video is astounding for two reasons:

1. The fact that almost every single person is recording on their phone, there is no apparent collective joy. From this angle it feels as if almost nobody is truly living in or cherishing the moment.

2. Then in the center of the crowd are a courageous but small group of people trying to bring attention to the slaughter in Palestine, waving the flag.

That juxtaposition: The attendees’ apparent disconnection from real life and the people around them in order to record a moment digitally, while people right in front of them are literally begging for innocent lives to be saved — This shot could be a @blackmirror episode.

@trekwest Happy New Year! I hope 2024 is a brilliant one for you! 🎶✨

My essay "On Zionist Feelings" ⁦@Mondoweiss⁩

"Palestinians bear no responsibility to coddle the feelings of Zionist racists. We collectively refuse to provide Zionists with reassurances to placate and soothe their political anxieties." https://t.co/rdy29ferI0

A call to action from artists, producers, front of house staff, audiences and beyond. Creatives for Palestine urge you to show your solidarity for Palestine Wednesday 13 December and to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire.

@SenatorWong Your silence on the murder of thousands of civilians in #Gaza is deafening. That you can post this without shrinking at the sheer hypocrisy of it is breathtaking. Ceasefire. Now. The inability of the west to uphold international law is humiliating. Shame.

#QandA Kalarie man Todd Fernando felt 'shell-shocked', 'shame' and 'utterly rejected' after the No vote result. Watch the full episode here: https://t.co/sCRhySen62

Merriam-Webster's word of the year is "authentic"; I think I just heard the entire discipline of folklore studies groan in unison.
