The government has decided to charge MONEY to visit the Twelve Apostles! Unaustralian! | First Dog on the Moon Maybe we should go all the way and turn it into a 12 (7) Apostles theme park!

My two current works in progress (ignoring the hundreds of half finished paintings all over the place)
Definitely a bit of a theme going…

Shows four small watercolour paintings of various critters on teacups, described individually in the next three photos. The only one not there because of the image limit is my green frog sitting on a Wedgwood teacup.

Bernie Sanders @berniesanders
Seventeen innocent people were murdered in a horrific antisemitic terrorist attack in Sydney. Together, we must do everything we can to combat the alarming rise of antisemitism around the world.
What was Prime Minister Netanyahu's response to this tragedy? He blamed the Australian prime minister for the attack, simply because he had moved to recognize a Palestinian state.
No, Mr. Netanyahu. Speaking out on behalf of the Palestinian people is not antisemitic. Opposing the disgraceful policies of your extremist government is not antisemitic. Condemning your genocidal war, which has killed more than 70,000 people - mostly women and children - is not antisemitic.
Demanding that your government stop bombing hospitals and starving children is not antisemitic.
As we mourn the tragic loss of life in Australia, we must continue to vigorously oppose antisemitism and all forms of racism and bigotry. At the same time, we must demand a world in which international law and human rights are respected by all governments, without exception.
