:blob_cat_ohnoes: I try to share mostly positive things here because life is challenging enough, however yesterday I paid $6 AUD each for two tins of sardines. This is what I found #disappointment
Had to read the back of the box to realise they were skinless & boneless, but that there were only four in the tin was a hidden surprise. 🫢🤷♀️

The open letter, timed to coincide with the World Economic Forum in Davos, argued that extreme wealth was polluting politics, driving social exclusion and fuelling the climate emergency.
#Genocide#NotInMyName#JewishCouncilAustralia 🗞️📰💔 January 28th 2026: Jewish Council calls on the Australian PM to rescind it's invitation to Isaac Herzog - implicated in Genocide:
The Jewish Council of Australia has expressed outrage that the Albanese Government would fuel the flames of division by inviting Herzog to visit Australia, warning that his trip is completely inappropriate and offensive and will rightly spark mass protests.
President Isaac Herzog is directly implicated in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. He has made public statements, including that an “entire nation is responsible” for October 7, which have been cited by the International Court of Justice and other international bodies examining breaches of the Genocide Convention.
This should be a moment for collective mourning, reflection and care. It is not a moment to host the head of a state which has been found to have committed a genocide in Gaza.
#InternationalLaw#Australia#GenocideConvention#RomeStatute #HerzogVisitToAustralia2026 :blob_cat_ohnoes: "Australia is a party to the Genocide Convention and the Rome Statute. These treaties impose a clear legal duty to prevent and punish genocide, obligations which are reflected in Australian domestic law. Hosting President Herzog without investigation or accountability risks placing Australia in breach of its international and domestic obligations and undermines the global fight against impunity for the gravest crimes. He must be investigated under Australia’s Commonwealth Criminal Code."
#Bondi#AnthonyAlbanesePM :blob_cat_ohnoes: "That the horror of Bondi has been hijacked in this way that should sicken all of us, but the fact that it was able to happen at all should be a reminder of how this now works. We all live deeply inside a billionaire-operated communications system where every little and big thing that ever happens is part of an ongoing struggle to shape what we think and how we act and most of the time we don’t realise the extent to which we are being played."

🌞 One of the things I'm thankful for is the medical help I'm currently getting (wasn't always the case). I had a few stressful days up at the hospital this week & have now started Immunotherapy in the drug trial I'm participating in. Maybe I'll turn a corner - who knows - but this is a good step.
#PeregrineFalcons#OrangeNSW #Gimbir#Diamond Good to see this today 👍 "Sep 5, 2025 This is quite a milestone. Gimbir brings a large prey (probably pigeon, but well prepared, so hard to be sure) for Diamond and hands over without too much of a fuss. This could cement the relationship..."
#JillianSegalMustResign#KlaxonNews #FarRightPoliticalGroupAdvance#AusPol 🗞️📰 "The nation’s Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal — who claims to have “had no involvement” in her husband’s “donations” — has been donating with him for decades." "The donation activities of Segal and her husband John Roth are so entrenched they have been officially cited by the University of NSW — Segal’s former long-time employer. In at least one instance, the couple’s donation activities were even overseen and applauded by a sitting NSW Premier." "The revelations are devastating for Segal — who is facing widespread calls to resign — and for the Federal Government, which openly backed her “husband” claims." "Just weeks ago, embroiled in national scandal following a Klaxon expose detailing how her family trust is one of the biggest funders of far-right political lobby group “Advance”, Segal pointed to her husband."
