And an even bigger compassion and empathy vacuum. Our systems have elevated sociopathy instead of wisdom and cruelty in place of care.04 Jul 2025 03:28 +0000at://did:plc:ljmkiphaz4qlgmhfs4yzfvfx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lt4cf4pxsc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/vickikyriakakis.bsky.social/post/3lq27uir4322c“The Israeli army says it is reviewing an attack on the home of two doctors in Khan Younis which killed nine of their 10 children.” Oh they are ‘reviewing’ it? Oh that’s nice. That doesn’t bring back her innocent babies you complete monsters.26 May 2025 03:22 +0000at://did:plc:ljmkiphaz4qlgmhfs4yzfvfx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lq27uir4322chttps://bsky.app/profile/vickikyriakakis.bsky.social/post/3lq27lellis2cI’ve heard more than once that those of us with no ‘dog in this fight’ should stay silent, that there’s infinite complexity that we couldn’t possibly understand. But there’s nothing complex about the destruction of international law. And we ALL bear the cost of that. You will not silence us.

The Queensland Government is blaming the State Library. Who will have courage to at least admit they are consciously suppressing an important Indigenous writer’s voice, and collective freedom of expression and speech here?

Neither of these parties will ever be in government again unless they find a way to build a new coalition. But the scales have finally fallen perhaps from many an eye. This puts Labor in their strongest position ever historically. Let’s see what Albo makes of it.

Even the results become political. Shame on the organisers for not having more moral clarity.

It’s got lady pirates, flying triremes & sexy times. It’s the first time I’ve outlined a whole book before jumping in to write it and honestly it’s been a revelation how easily this one has come together.13 May 2025 05:59 +0000at://did:plc:ljmkiphaz4qlgmhfs4yzfvfx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lozsm4ruds2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/vickikyriakakis.bsky.social/post/3lohh7wxp6s2sMargaret Simon nailing it once again. Good lessons in here for the left, which has become too reactive. News Corp hasn’t had influence for a while now.

The answer is get offline. Stop looking to evangelical bloody christians in the US and to washed up culture warring Canadian ex professors and start talking to actual Australians. Listen to the science. Put some common sense policies forward. JFC. It’s not rocket science.03 May 2025 12:48 +0000at://did:plc:ljmkiphaz4qlgmhfs4yzfvfx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lobesewuo22i
