Another thing that confuses me about The Discourse right now is why calls for a "lasting ceasefire" are popular among the American left while calls for "peace" are unpopular among the American left. Is there a reason for this? Isn't a lasting ceasefire less powerful than peace?

I bought matching mugs that say "love" in Hebrew and Arabic in a special merged font for me and my boyfriend a while back when we were both studying each other's family's languages, and it feels more relevant than ever

Every day for five weeks at school, a 13-year-old boy says he was greeted with abuse, including heil Hitlers and being called a “dirty Jew” – a reminder that members of his family were murdered by Nazis. theage.com.au/national/victo…

theage.com.au/national/victo… No mention of pervasive tutoring subculture at some of these schools (serpells) by Principal or journalist. Tutoring not wrong or cheating but a key factor into Naplan outcomes which data driven journalism should not omit. @adamlcarey @madeleineheff

relevant b/c it suggests public schools can achieve the same successes as private schools with fewer resources & teacher shortages. Parents choose high socio economic areas and tutoring as a way to equalise a private school experience. Not all public schools can replicate that.

Really pisses me off because there is such a growing economic divide and its not just public vs private but rather haves vs have nots. All this does is incentivise school principals to focus on performative Naplan BS rather than declining mental health, absenteeism, etc.

Lots of talk about covid case surge. Kids primary school doing indoor ball room dancing once a week: 100 kids, rotating partners, no masks, indoors.Not optional.We all want to get back to normal but is this really the best idea? I'm undecided. @CrabbBrendan @VictorianCHO @enenbee

I’ve been criticised for speaking about climate change. People saying I should “stay in my lane” as a doctor. Well let me say this — climate change is the greatest health threat facing our planet, and our species. Period. And as a doctor, I will continue to say so.

Its a widely circulated rag. Call it out.
🧵 Over the weekend there has been a number of reprehensible pieces published by The Australian. Is this seriously the standard we’re going to walk past, Australian journalists?
Totally went through his head. Before "boring ".

Whoa. I'm all for vax etc etc. I have 3 of em. But did we really just deport someone for having anti vaccine views? I am gobsmacked. What have I misunderstood?

14 years ago today I attended Corey Worthington’s house party, today dance floors are banned. 2008, what a time to be alive. 🎉
It's started. I had that familiar nightmare last night about return to home schooling.

Dear PM, You told us to lockdown. We did. Told us to vaccinate. We did. Told us to get out there. We did. Now, businesses everywhere are closing, your “free market” on RAT tests sees obscene price gouging, the vulnerable exposed & kids can’t get vax appt’s. What now?

Twitter noticed I like scientists and scientific sounding tweets & now feeds me the extreme stuff from both ends: epidemiologists w runaway disease plots & reformed ex-scientists claiming hidden vaccine injury epidemic. Science on Twitter is a whiplash inducing game of ping pong.
Where can I stream this?
