Just landed in Adelaide. Took my ring off to wash my hands in the bathroom, forgot it, realised as I was leaving, then wasn’t able to retrace my steps—had to go through security again, by which time it was gone. Long shot but if anyone picked it up and handed it in, hmu please.
Solidarity with Sakr, Qian and Evans whose contracts have been terminated by the State Library of Victoria without clear explanation. Denying work and literary opportunities to authors on the basis of their political viewpoints is racist and exclusionary. @omarsakrpoet
@actualmontaigne I saw an article about the IDF opening fire on starving Palestinians lining up for food and they called it a “chaotic incident”. as if it was a little oopsie and not an armed military force wiping out innocent civilians.
the degree to which journalists have been along for the ride for this genocide -- including in the supposed "progressive" outlets -- has permanently obliterated whatever remaining trust I had in the profession. Deplorable and wholly irredeemable shit from the Guardian here
More than 1 in every 100 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel's invasion.
The same level of killing in Australia would see over a quarter of a million dead.
As you walk around your neighbourhood, just try to imagine this scale of destruction.

@AP
We will never forgive the governments & so-called leaders who enabled this - including those here in Australia who were dragged kicking & screaming to a ceasefire call after months & months of the worst killings. This is on all of you @POTUS@AlboMP#CeasefireNOW
Update: 150 got killed.
Breaking, breaking, breaking:
Around 4AM, more than 70 people got killed and more 500 got wounded after Israeli tanks opened fire at them while getting aid from the arriving aid trucks on the Rashid Road in Gaza city.
Thousands of starving people slept in the street and woke up only when the trucks arrived. When they started to get wheat flout and other aid boxes, the tanks opened fire.
This is one of the most tragic days since October 7.
