Hi Cate, I see you are suspended on the bird.
I hope everything is okay

1923: Hitler’s coup failed. No real consequences, no changes. 10 years later, he and his co-conspirators took over Germany.

2021: Trump’s coup failed. No real consequences, no changes. 26.5 months later, he is holding hate rallies and his co-conspirators are still in Congress.

I find it hard to understand why people still smoke.

It's harmful to them, to others, the environment.
It stinks.

Weed will be defended here, as always.
But it's no better.

A little bit of #Australiana in all its flora and fauna glory.

Just delightful, in a narrow suburban (mix of residential and commercial) alleyway that is complemented by an outside cafe in #Balaclava #Australia.

Twas a beautiful day to view these gorgeous scenes.

I have been surrounded by gays, trans, and drag queens my whole adult life. Not once have I ever had to fear violence or harm from any of them, or had to have special training in case one came into my workplace. Meanwhile, I have been bullied and threatened by people who called themselves “Christians”, harassed by cops, and had to attend special training in case someone shows up at the office with an AR-15.

The child abuse cases for which George Pell was never tried

The first time I met George Pell, I was a cadet journalist and he was the archbishop of Melbourne. He was dazzling. Even then, Pell had a slightly terrifying reputation. He was loudly opposed to giving communion to gay Catholics and to women in the clergy, and would later declare that abortion was a worse moral crime than paedophilia. His Catholicism was muscular and pugilistic. The motto he chose for his coat of arms was “Be not afraid”.

The Saturday Paper

#PANFORTE — homemade on August 22, 2021, and aged several months, then to be opened today on epiphany, or Italian “Befana” and Epifania. Archival from January 6, 2022.

Home made with fresh garden-grown #figs, dried, and then mixed with #nuts and spices, flour, #honey, and olive oil. It’s wrapped in paper for some aging, later enjoyed for #holidays. #dolci #sweets #CucinaItaliana
