@lyssasphere How can you forget/ignore all the great women authors? 🫩

Authors everyone should be familiar with, imho: Edgar Allen Poe George Orwell Hunter S. Thompson Isaac Asimov Ken Kesey Lewis Carroll Ray Bradbury Are there any others that belong on this list?

Australia is going to waste millions of dollars and months of time to find the cause of antisemitism when everyone knows it exists because of Israel's constant attacks on their neighbours, their host country and the genocide that continues unpunished.

In 2016, 5,712 Native women and girls were reported missing in a single year. Only 116 of those cases were entered into federal databases. Behind every number that was never counted is a name that deserves to be spoken.

@carlosgvizcaino @PaulMcCartney What a well dressed couple. And Nancy's brooch... wowsers.

Paul McCartney at Buckingham Palace, May 4, 2018, where he was made a Companion of Honour by the Queen for services to music. “I see this as a huge honour for me and my family and I think of how proud my Liverpool mum and dad would have been to see this.” #CompanionOfHonour

@SandyHorne61 Am on the Mornington peninsula, tides are 50cm away from the top of the sand. Havent seen that before.

Went to St Kilda to see the very high tide. Couldn't see the breakwater at all!

@lily20087360 @ShereleMoody Here's a thought, tracking and confining peados might be more constructive instead of victim blaming.

@ShereleMoody Time to have a massive intervention and rescue the other Indigenous kids living in neglectful conditions.

Northern Territory police have charged Jefferson Lewis with murder and two counts of sexual assault over the killing of five-year-old Kumanjayi Little Baby.

How Australia’s media used to report Israeli atrocities. (with credit to Jose Teixeira) A 1948 account of the Jewish ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Ronald Monson, Daily Telegraph (Sydney) correspondent in Jerusalem. The tone of Monson's reporting was remarkably different to much of the Western media reporting from Palestine and Lebanon today. Monson did not try to downplay Zionist crimes and he humanised the Palestinian victims. Reporting when journalists were carrying through with their mission, to out the truth and did not succumb to pressure from lobbies with $$$ and threats. Report: They massacred Arab babies From RONALD MONSON In Jerusalem Jewish mortar bombs were coming over the Damascus Gate, bursting with shuddering explosions in narrow alleys when I visited the Jacob E. Spofford Memorial Hospital - American institution — close by the Gate today (Wednesday). I had come to visit the Arab orphans from Deir Yassin. I carried no sweets, because their nurse, Miriam Bedrossian, doesn't think sweets are good for year-old babies. Miriam had cared for these 15 babies since they were brought to the refuge a few days after the massacre of their parents last March. There were 16, but one died of wounds - aged nine months….

@dieworkwear All the pictures on the Oval office walls, all male... and what looks like a female nude. Figures.

The replies to this person's tweet lack a nuanced understanding of aesthetics. Let me tell you why I don't think this room works. First, the gold decorations make the room look like an ersatz Versailles. Go to Getty Images and type in "Oval Office." Then zoom in on the gold decor. You'll notice that the lines are very blunted and muddied; they lack the sharp lines and fine detailing that you'd expect on something made by an artisan. Hence why some people have suggested these decorations are from Home Depot (true or not, that's the impression). You can see the difference between the first and second photos. The first, of course, is of the Oval Office; the second is the reception room from the Hotel de Cabris in France, which was made during the 18th century under the direction of Louis XVI. Even at this distance, the second image looks much better because it was designed and executed by artisans working within a coherent visual language. You can really see the crisp lines and detailing. Second, the White House was designed by James Hoban, an Irish architect who migrated to the US for economic opportunities (what a great American story!). He originally designed it in the Neoclassical style, drawing on Palladian and Georgian influences. Neoclassicalism was a reaction against the Rococo movement, which reactionaries saw as overly ornate and frivolous. A bit of gold used sparingly and strategically can look fine in a Neoclassical building, but the amount Trump used has so radically encrusted the room that it's now in Rococo territory, making it look like a mismatch of aesthetics. You can see an example of gilded Rococo architecture in the third slide. Although it's not my thing, the effect is totally different because it's coherent. IMO, architecture sets the terms for you can decorate a space. Modernist furniture looks best in modernist buildings, just as Craftsman furniture looks best in Craftsman homes (see fourth slide). You don't have to do period recreations — sometimes mixing two aesthetics, or old and new, can make a space feel more natural — but having a sense of aesthetic history (art, architecture, furniture, fashion) can help you create better aesthetics. The Oval Office offends on at least three levels: the ersatz nature of the decor, the way it grates against Hoban’s Neoclassical vision, and the way it misunderstands the classical-republican symbolism that the White House was meant to project in the first place. As others have noted, this is the kind of decor you'd expect from dictators who rob their own country.

We, the Lebanese and Palestinian, are the only people in history watching our genocide live, and we could get arrested or suspended for saying stop kill us, because it might hurt the feelings of the killers.

@AFP Can't fathom what drives some men to do this. Fly high, Baby. 🩷🩷

An angry crowd has clashed with Australian police outside a hospital treating the suspected killer of a five-year-old Indigenous girl in Alice Springs. The violence followed the discovery of the body of Kumanjayi Little Baby and the arrest of the suspect Jefferson Lewis, who was beaten after turning himself in to Indigenous community members u.afp.com/Sae8

Huh. Connect the dots. Everyone is gluten intollerant to some point these days. I've eaten spelt sourdough, it was the most delicious bread I've had in years. Sticking with that now.

How many more Lebanese need to be murdered? How many more children need to be killed? How many more journalists and health workers have to be killed? How many more people have to be displaced? How many more hospitals and schools have to be bombed? Before we force Israel to stop?

AMBULANCES IN THE USA… JUST CALL AN UBER 🥐

@SheldrickTrust Aw we say in Australia, Rack off, Noddy!.

Akina: 1, Kilulu: 0! While Akina was enjoying her milk, roguish Kilulu was hatching a plan to steal it. When a more direct burglary proved ineffective, he lingered behind her and then firmly bit her tail. Unfortunately for him, Akina was completely nonplussed. She held the bottle firmly, finished her milk, and then proceeded to enjoy her mud spa session. She knows how to handle pesky bulls! Like Kilulu, Akina was rescued during the drought. Quiet and quirky, she is a clever young elephant who always knows how to handle a situation. Discover Akina’s story: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/akina
