Tim Hollo@timhollo.bsky.social · last yr.Along with - a deep, epigenetic trauma - unconditional love, and - a passion for mashed potato my beloved holocaust-survivor grandparents passed on to me the clear understanding that #antisemitism flourishes in times of distress. This means that none of us will ever be safe until all are safe. 1/
Asked Siri to play me some “hopeful music about revolution”. First up was This is America (Childish Gambino), then Get Up, Stand Up, and then NWA’s Fuck the Police. Incredible. Also Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On but that was more expected. #UnderstoodTheAssignment #JoinTheResistance
stay strong, patriots. mommy and daddy’s divorce is a deep state psyop. they still love each other very much. there WILL be christmas presents this year.
I’m an abolitionist except for billionaires. Like, I hope there’s an investigation when this is all over and they both rot in prison. #Musk #Trump #TheDivorceFiles
I have the latest Pfizer Covid vaccine in my left arm & the last flu vaccine in my right. I vaguely understand how mRNA vaccines work so I’m imagining the vaccines shedding their ’shell’ & revealing the spike protein & whatever & my immune system going, “we’re under attack from both sides!”
Does anyone else randomly jot down titles for their (theoretical, future) PhD or their (theoretical, non-existent) autobiography? My latest are, respectively: From inchoate resistance to Imbricated agency (PhD) and Loose Threads: unravelling a layered life (autobiography). Just me then?
Ben Cohen, cofounder of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, was removed from the Senate after confronting lawmakers over US support for Israel's military campaign in Gaza.
Enjoying the graffiti wall at T-Gen Gyms today, especially the exhortation to have a cute day resisting empire and savouring joy. So here for that.
Go on, tell me again how the Greens were wrong to block Labor on their housing plan? FFS www.afr.com/policy/econo...
Labor’s housing fund may need bailout after stock slump
Taxpayers could be forced to top up the $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund if financial markets do not recover in the next three months.

My pronouns are I/you/xe but I really prefer being part of we/they because collective resistance is the only way to create justice in this world. #jedi #JoinTheResistance
The Jewish Council calls on the re-elected Albanese government to immediately sanction Israel and comply with our obligations under the Genocide Convention and international law. This includes cutting all economic, military and diplomatic ties with Israel. Media release here: tinyurl.com/5ydypam7
the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done
shauna@goldengateblond.bsky.social · last yr.eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same
Israel ramps up their genocide in Gaza but the Greens are being unkind by pointing it out. Uh huh. Remember, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...
Gaza will be entirely destroyed, Israeli minister says
Bezalel Smotrich says Palestinians will ‘leave in great numbers to third countries’, raising fears of ethnic cleansing

Drive it like you stole it, stop fucking around, deal with climate change, poverty, and deal with inequality to pay for it. Deal with industry transition, deal with education costs, accept that large investments in ourselves today pay for more than themselves in the future. And dental in Medicare
The Libertarians keep saying “$1 beers?” and all I can hear is “more family violence?” #ausvotes
This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.
Anth is going to be most pissed if he misses the election… hopefully that’ll be impetus enough for him to drag himself out of limbo and back to the land of the sweary, just so he can celebrate Dutton losing his seat or at least shake his fist at the TV given it’s Anthony Green’s last election too. 🤞🏽
Tim Baxter@timinclimate.naruresearch.com.au · last yr.I know my brother @swearyanthony.bsky.social has a lot of people he cares about on here. While not everyone knows about the connection, a lot of people who follow me also follow him. This seemed like a way to get the word out: Anthony is currently in ICU in a critical condition after a head injury.
Came back from National Folk Fest with dreaded nonspecific lurgy. Good news: not covid or flu. Bad news: ow, my throat. Extra bad news: supposed to be running a full-day workshop tomorrow. Fingers crossed this is 24-hours and I still have a voice tomorrow.
Anyone remember BUGA UP? We need your spray cans now! Just alter all the Trumpets of Patriots billboards so they say “Trump’s Parrots”. Truth in advertising for the win! #auspol
Needed BDS-compliant gluten-free matzah. Decided to make my own! Chag sameach, everyone. Next year in a free Palestine!
I can’t even. I also agree that any journalist who continues to use Trump’s “reciprocal tariff” language is effectively publishing propaganda.

I haven’t played pool in 10 years but thanks to Basem Kerbage being an aggressive wingman, I just played against an incredibly stylish opponent and managed not to embarrass myself.
