Our government is signing us on to be war criminals via AUKUS and closer military ties to the US.

That means all of us, our government is doing this on our behalf. It’s making us all war criminals.

Personally, I’m not really up for it.

Twilight

The soft voluptuous opiate shades,
The sun just gone, the eager light dispell’d – (I too will soon be
gone, dispell’d)
A haze – nirwana – rest and night – oblivion.

~ Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

Craven β€œspent years using his platform to attack the very institutions and people he is now supposed to be assessing impartially.”

But this was never about impartial assessment.
It's another Zionist-inspired, government-funded move to suppress any criticism of the genocidal Israel regime. #auspol

I don’t know about you, but watching the price of fuel rise at the bowsers over the last week has left me feeling like fuel companies are taking Australian motorists and Australian consumers for mugs.

Art Thou Pale For Weariness

Art thou pale for weariness
Of climbing heaven & gazing on the earth,
Wandering companionless
Among the stars that have a different birth,
And ever changing, like a joyless eye
That finds no object worth its constancy?

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1824)

Born 6 Mar 1946 David Gilmour once sold his £3 million London mansion & donated every penny to a homeless charity called Crisis? He said "I don't need all this luxury while others are fighting for a roof." No media catwalk, no rockstar ego-just pure generosity.He quietly changed lives❀️ #DavidGilmour

Trump hints at which country he may focus on next after Iran war Almost a week into the war being waged by the US and Israel on Iran, Donald Trump hints that Cuba could become his next focus.

So that's why fat orange grub invaded Venezuela, to cut off oil to Cuba.
While the world is distracted with Iran, he's destroying Cuban society and then gloating they'll make a deal.
Venezuela thought they were negotiating. Ditto Iran. He'll just bomb them & walk in.

A butterfly resting on a narrow green leaf. The butterfly is seen in profile with its wings folded up. The fore underwing has some bright green scales but is mostly orange. The hind underwing is dominated by bright green scales. Both underwings have white bands that parallel the curving back wing edges. The bands are edged with black, orange, and in this light blue. The body is gray. The legs and antennae are finely striped black and white, with orange at the tips of the antennae.

An image of the moon rising, golden set in the purple sky. There are trees in the foreground in shadow.

Mine the long night
The secret place
Where lovers meet
In long embrace
In purple dark
In silvered kiss
Forget the world
And grasp your bliss
-A. S. Byatt

Have a gorgeous day warriors.

Albanese’s utter delight in this war is nauseating. It’s like he’s hoping he might get a membership at Mar-a-Lago

Three Royal Australian Navy personnel were on board the US submarine that murdered Iranian sailors, on an unarmed ship posing no threat.

But the Albanese Cabinet is complicit, and accountable.

"Howard tied us to America so tightly, it would take a world-altering event to unshackle us. The tragic truth is though, even then, we would probably be on America’s side, even if it meant our own destruction," writes @amyremeikis.bsky.social.
