when we grow up what will we be...just a wee thought for my 3 neurones & me...we wonder & wait as the wrinkles appear...& curiously enjoy the time we are here
My brother just called. The situation where they were displaced has completely spiraled out of control. Gunfire is very close.
They’re hiding with their children in extreme fear, not knowing what is happening or where to go!!
Please pray for them
Fun fact. For the 1966 World Cup, England debated denying visas for North Korea. FIFA responded that if any players from any teams were denied visas,they would relocate the World Cup, even at the last minute.
A man is charged with the murder of a 58-year-old woman who was kidnapped from a Sydney suburb early this week. The woman's body has not been found and it is not known if the charged man is related to her. The as-yet unnamed woman is the 31st Australian woman killed this year. Last year we lost 79 women to violence - the year before 106 women were killed. Police confirmed the woman last spoke to family on Monday and was planning to meet a relative in Winston Hills. Her car was found in the suburb on Tuesday. Today, detectives arrested the 33-year-old man in Tomerang. He has since been charged.

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/DW9BTHvSrM (link in bio).
I’ve been informed by folks on this site that The Hobbit and now Jane Austen are too difficult for teens. I can’t stress enough how condescending this is to teenagers. You’re taking away all the things that might bring them joy and leaving them with no pastimes but scrolling.
This is possibly the saddest thing I've seen in a long time..an immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home..she saved her UNIFORM. So she could still WORK for our communities.
I'd fill this country with a thousand of this woman than one of those good for nothing thugs.
God help this poor woman.
No se habla lo suficiente de que "Israel" está borrando la ciudad de Tiro, uno de los asentamientos humanos más antiguos del mundo, con orígenes que datan de 2750 AC, literalmente están destruyendo patrimonio de toda la humanidad.
En 3 meses "Israel" ha asesinado a más de 3.700 libaneses pero al mundo no parece importarle.
We're not talking about Dr Hussam Abu-Safiya enough. It's heartbreaking to see him this way.
Everyone must keep pushing for his immediate release.
The only issue Dr Hussam has is his citizenship. If he were of a Western origin, it'd be the story every single day.
As a doctor, I can’t tell you how many older women I have treated over 80, who often recall to me their life stories and have told me things like:
“I really wanted to be a doctor/lawyer/professor, but in those days, we were told that women don’t do those things”
So anyone who genuinely believes that the 1950s or 1960s were fantastic times, better also explain why it was okay for half the population to not be allowed to pursue their dreams
(… and if you are OK with it, I presume you are also okay with discouraging your daughters/granddaughters from having careers)
Oh my dear God. What the fucking #Robodebt is this??
I just watched the last hour of the NDIS bill hearing and watched as @SenatorJordon, who has the patience of a saint, explain the actual NDIS and what a job interview looks like to a bunch of senior bureaucrats who have been called in to explain the enormous clusterfuck that is the plan for the former NDIS, which will harm hundreds of thousands of disabled people. At the end, he LOSES it. Justifiably. Go watch:)
And then I get curious about who one guy is so I look at a govt table which says he’s now working in and a different name catches my eye.
Russell de Burgh.
‘While working as the branch manager of the Pensions and Integrity branch of the Department of Social Services, De Burgh was identified by the #Robodebt Royal Commission as one of the officials who made "false representations" regarding the lawfulness and operation of the Robodebt program.’
And now this man has a very senior role in Health, rolling out cuts that will end lives and livelihoods in exchange for AUKUS submarines.
I do not know why I am still shocked, yet I am. #RoboNDIS
BREAKING:
This is Gaza right now.
Israel is raining bombs on civilian areas in the middle of the night while people sleep.
Not a peep from the complicit international community, of course.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, held indefinitely without charge since December 2024, and now in solitary confinement. If they’re doing this to the Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, you know how they’re treating everyone else. Just as he didn’t abandon his patients, we can’t abandon him.
A Portrait of Suffering: Dr. Houssam Abu Safiya Appears Before the High Court, Bearing Visible Signs of Abuse
In his first public appearance, a leaked image from the corridors of the occupation’s High Court in Jerusalem has drawn attention to the deteriorating condition of Dr. Houssam Abu Safiya during his ongoing trial. The photograph shows clear signs of extreme exhaustion on the detained doctor’s face, alongside visible indications suggesting harsh treatment and abuse endured during his detention.
