"One of the best [short story collections] I've read, possibly ever." Catching up on Savidge Reads' videos last night when I see this! 'Favourite Books in Five Years on Book Tube'. youtube.com/user/SavidgeRead…
Thank you, Simon! I can't tell you what a boost this has been for me. 😭

Almost 80 years ago, you were an antisemitic if you supported a genocide.
Today, you are an antisemitic if you oppose a genocide.

The dialogues unveiled in the Cornel rape case between supposedly civilised men, attending a prestigious university, are a vivid reminder that the rise of the manosphere is aided and abetted by the so-called 'elites' and is a reflection of the overall tilt toward the thinly veiled forms of authoritarianism, chauvinism and fascism.

Thank you, President Trump for bringing together the Oligarchs who run our country. While working families struggle to survive due to your disastrous policies, they are now worth over $1.7 trillion, including:
Elon Musk: $920 billion
Jeff Bezos: $368 billion
Mark Zuckerberg: $250 billion
Jensen Huang: $200 billion
Obscene.

Tony Blair has dismissed the phrase "Free Palestine", saying that Palestinians need a solution, not slogans.
Palestinians need Tony Blair to stay away from Gaza.
The solution is an end to the occupation - and we will never stop until there is real freedom for Palestine.

They can buy X, they can buy Facebook and Instagram, they can buy TikTok and Google, they can buy journalists and television stations, and they can buy politicians. But they can't buy the people.
Millions of dollars spent on Israeli Hasbara propaganda tried to erase Palestine, but the world has become Palestine.
Keep protesting. Keep writing. Keep posting. You may think you're yelling into the void. But we hear you in Palestine and Lebanon.
It was an honour to be a Finalist in the Frazzled Lit Short Story Award 2026, with guest judge, Donal Ryan. Sincere congratulations to the three winners, and thanks to @frazzledlitmag for a great contest. Looking forward to the forthcoming anthology!
Delighted to see my flash fiction story make the shortlist in the excellent WritebytheSea competition in Ireland.
Truly delighted to see my work on the Frazzled Lit Short Story Award shortlist! @frazzledlitmag

In seeking to chose which outlets will ask her questions, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation is “weakening democracy” says Peter Greste.

If only the courts protected women like they protect men with lots of money and lots of famous friends.

Israel publicly declared - again - that Gaza will be emptied of Palestinians.
Where are the front page headlines?
Where are the denunciations from Western politicians?
There's none - because it's not the "inflammatory" words of some activist opposed to genocide.

Just checking if Australia is OK with Israel bombing vital water infrastructure in Lebanon @SenatorWong ?
