Surreal to find this bright beacon of light among these weeks of devastating loss. To lose a friend, then have my writing recognised, is some kind of whiplash.

Thanks so much, @HachetteAus. I know if she were here my friend would want it shouted from the rooftops.

Sixth death in custody since the beginning of March.

The sixth.

Joyce Clarke was shot while holding a butter knife. Some of us are being shot in this vibrant liberal democracy.

@UNSWArts @UNSW @JeremyMoss25 @UNSW_PJI @GuardianAus @SBSNews @smh @australian @7NewsSydney @abcsydney @9NewsAUS @market_forces: New data: the big banks (@ANZ_AU, @CommBank, @NAB, @Westpac) have loaned $7 billion to new/expanded coal, oil and gas projects since 2016.

Yet in Australia there are 100+ fossil fuel projects on the horizon that our climate cannot afford.

@HarveyNormanAU just waited on the phone for ONE HOUR being told my call was important to you over and over again only to finally be hung up on. Soooo annoying!!

The extraordinary arrogance it takes to believe every human who worships a different god/interpretation of same god/religion/ or none at all is bound for eternal damnation is breathtaking. At least us atheists just think we’ll all end up in the same place regardless - oblivion.

Congrats Georgie! Such a star!

BREAKING: The Mueller report for gays

[Benjamin Law 羅旭能 @mrbenjaminlaw]

Remember when he instigated the most violent race riot in a generation, wrongly accused a family of killing 12 people and said a prime minister’s recently-dead father had died of shame over her?

What a loss his absence would be! How poorer our discourse!

[Benjamin Law 羅旭能 @mrbenjaminlaw]

Lyle Shelton retweeting Andrew Bolt defending George Pell is truly Australia's most revolting human centipede.

The only person who wants boats to come is the Prime Minister Scott Morrison. He’s desperate for one to arrive so he can have his Tampa moment. Pathetic, cruel and dangerous.

"We can't have another election devoid of issues that matter to women. Here's how we're fixing it." oped for @abcnews by the three founders of @WomenVote, high-powered lawyers from Sydney. Be fascinating to see how this plays out. https://t.co/H3kigWj9Cz via @ABCNews

I HATE it when doctors are compassionate! When I’m sick what I crave is calculating, self-serving ruthlessness. But I guess a certain politician has a monopoly on that. #Auspol 🤦‍♀️

No of Aussies killed by terrorism in Australia since 1916

13

Number of Aussie women killed by male violence since 2014

343

So I ask you what’s the biggest threat?

If you’re tired of me tweeting about this imagine being a woman living with actual threat of this everyday
