@albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social Albo, please make a memorial for the 36 Australians whom have died or still missing from the Nepal floods. please, let us remember them. Maybe a small stone or plague for each city my aunt was among the missing and they all deserve to be remembered

My aunt was in the Nepal floods, wasn't close to her but she was sweet, hugged me after my Atta's funeral, had been wanting her and my Uncle to come over during Christmas a few times. Now scared I won't ever get a chance to really know her She has 2 daughters and a husband to come home to. Praying

Thank you Musk, you asshole. My Auntie is among the missing, her husband (My Uncle) and two daughters are safe in Australia, but lord knows if we will see her again. I wasn't close to her, but she was sweet, she and all of Nepal did not deserve this.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is one of those rare books that manages to be both clever and entertaining. It’s a smart, quick read that will especially appeal to anyone familiar with the often surreal process of trying to get published. mybook.to/fakedeads

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide. Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session. Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

My weekend sorted. #easter #brisbane #bookish #southasianbooks
Three notable items. Hot cross buns caramilk flavour. Hollow easter egg chocolates and a copy of Tasha Suri's book, The Oleander Sword. The book has a greenizh cover witha brown Indian woman on frony with a blue and gold sari, a matching choli blouse and petticoat dress, she has a serious expression on her face, long black hair twisted into a braid, and red flowers are on top of the head. She also wears a red bindi. She is holding a sword that ends with greenish flames. Character is likely Malini.

The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was a vile act of antisemitic terror. I mourn those who were murdered and will be keeping their families, the Jewish community, and the Chabad movement in my prayers. May the memories of all those killed be a blessing.

While we are still waiting for all the facts to emerge, what we already know is devastating. At least 11 dead, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who held deep ties to Crown Heights. At least 29 injured. Another Jewish community plunged into mourning and loss, a holiday of light so painfully reduced to a day of darkness. This attack is merely the latest, most horrifying iteration in a growing pattern of violence targeted at Jewish people across the world. Too many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside. What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too.

On Bondi Beach today, as men with long guns targeted innocents, another man ran towards the gunfire and disarmed a shooter. Tonight, as Jewish New Yorkers light menorahs and usher in a first night of Hanukkah clouded by grief, let us look to his example and confront hatred with the urgency and action it demands. When I am Mayor, I will work every day to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe—on our streets, our subways, at shul, in every moment of every day. Let this be a purpose shared by every New Yorker, and let us banish this horrific violence to the past.

Look, full offense, but claiming that you can't find a disabled adult character sexually attractive *solely* because you view them as a child, that is ableism. You can be attracted or unattracted to whoever you want, but viewing disabled adults as children when we're not? Is ableist.

I wrote some of this a few days ago and the other yesterday, I think. I kinda like it?? Grilled is a total menace here, but his rage is what makes this book hot and spicy. Doesn't need much editing. I posted some of this yesterday, I think? So it might be familiar to those who read my snippets
A burning rage grew in his chest. Nobles would pluck every last limer out of their hands, if they could get away with it. Then set commoners against each other.
I’m not your opponent. I’m trying to help you survive. Your real enemy is the other innmaster who’s stealing your customers.
Nobles and their apologists—men like Mr. Cloth who weren’t noble, but licked their boots—deserved nothing less than to burn in Hell.
If their rent didn’t decrease the next time Mr. Cloth came to renew their arrangement, Grilled would know for certain it was a scam, that nobles were vile garbage, and that the words and promises they made were worth less than their spit.
And if they ran low on money, he’d do what he did before, regardless of what Shallot thought of it. Only this time he’d butcher guests who stayed at the Apple Mint Inn.
No, he had to calm down. If he started killing people for sleeping there, they would catch him. He had to be clever and careful. Smarter than the baron’s guards.
Murder would be his last resort, anyway, if they became truly desperate for money at the last possible moment.
But god damn, it would feel good to slit the throat of one of those motherfuckers who went to that inn instead of theirs.

So do White people in the west just believe it’s okay to resurrect the dead to make them dance and perform for your pleasure? Is this a cultural difference? Because where I come from, disturbing the dead usually comes with consequences. Bad ones.

Why was Emmett Till killed? Because a white woman told a lie. Why was Black Wall Street burned down? Because a white woman told a lie. And why did Kyren Lacy take his own life? Because a white woman told a lie. Our society infantilizes white women, so much so that we forget they owned slaves too.

I am not sure who writes this show, but I am pretty sure an Indian woman, or any Asians, would not ask "Why is this man barefooted in my house" when most would find it more respectful. Her white husband was right there to say the line but okay.
