The Swifties are kicking off but Tennant is right. I've *heard* plenty of Taylor Swift music. I've seen her live, listened to her albums. But I only *know* "Shake It Off". That isn't really a comment on Swift, but on pop as a whole, and how it doesn't cut through like it used to.

But then also he does so so much to keep people from ever moving into affirming us. Like he has paved the way out of contemporary Evangelicalism but he has also built a wall to keep anyone moving further along that path. I like the road, I don't like the wall. 18/

Ultimately Sprinkle is helpful in moving some people closer to liberation but is simultaneously responsible for not just staying where he is but for actively working to wall off any liberation beyond hinself. Like this is a phenomenal quote. I just wish he had heard it. fin/

@Billieiswriting Deconstruction wasn't a thing in the late 80s, and I didn't know what was happening yet, for sure, but these were some of the albums (and yes, this was back when we listened to ALBUMS, not just songs) that kicked it off...

94% of female #prisoners in #NorthernTerritory are #FirstNations. That should take your breath away. Terrible failure of all governments and our society

Two-word-title-watchers of course have their other eye on Gwendoline Riley, who after an impeccable run (Cold Water, Sick Notes, Joshua Spassky, Opposed Positions, First Love, My Phantoms), has gone 50% over with her next novel The Palm House.

May lose a few over this. If you want to send your kids to a private school. Fine. Then you pay the full price for that privilege. Public schools are just as good. If not better. Private schools should not be getting any government funding. Let alone double!

I am furious. Reading the statements of Albo & his minions imposing sanctions on Iran. They have virtually turned us into a Zionist Country. I don't know anyone that supports the genocide. I am appalled that our PM has taken us down a path to potential war because of AUKUS Pact.

I had a sudden hysterical laugh when I realized that at least 5 countries joined forces last night to intercept the Iranian drones before they hit Israel. This tells u that they could have easily prevented the genocide in Gaza from day one, but they chose not to. And I'm sad,…

Germany bans a former minister of a European state essentially for his stance on Israel/Palestine. I continue to believe that the Question of Palestine is a test for western liberal values. Et voilà.

If you were interested in a transparent investigation into #aidworkers assassination in #Gaza, you would send an international criminal law investigator not a person from armed forces with weapons connections. @AlboMP @SenatorWong
