Once I was an admirer of Penny Wong, voted Labour & forgave them their trespasses. No more! The only genuine progressives are Greens, some very minor parties & independents. Democratic Socialists unite! You have nothing to use but your brains.

Labor MP Josh Burns falsely claiming newly-elected @greens.org.au Leader @davidshoebridge.bsky.social is "prejudiced" against Jewish Australians is an obscene lie. He should withdraw it and apologise. Criticising Israel's genocide is NOT antisemitism. 😠 #auspol #StopTheGenocide #FreePalestine

I wonder if the Albanese Labor Govt realises that angrily sledging newly-elected @greens.org.au Leader @davidshoebridge.bsky.social simply reveals Labor no longer stands for progressive policies. btw I don't hear Labor attacking One Nation with this same level of venom. #auspol

My thoughts too. Shocked at the time. Even more shocked now at the reality of Jillian Segal’s appointment by Anthony Albanese. Immigration now controlled by Segal’s rule, dictating who comes in and who goes out. Palantir in toe. Given full “God Powers”. Serious stuff. #auspol

I wasn't going to say anything at all, but a few lovely souls expressed concern when I stopped incessantly posting my rage, grief, work, bad humour and fluffy animals. 

I have just taken a smidgen of annual leave. It's been a while. And a crucial part of that actually helping me is being offline as much as (fucken) possible for a lil’ bit. The last few years have been… I dunno what the appropriate word is… let's just go with difficult. Hard. 

I'm not running away. Not retreating. Just breathing. Being invisible. Being human. I’d encourage everyone to do the same when and if the moment presents itself. The world is heavy, the fight is eternal, resistance is a collective effort, and these machines and platforms - as integral and powerful as they have become - feed on our souls. Please don't worry. Just having a moment. Thank you for caring xx
