My newsfeed is full of pumpkins and orange maple leaves. It’s spring in Australia so here’s my response - non-autumn crunchy gum leaves!

It might not belong on a pizza, but it's beautiful to paint! Pineapples are another of my favourite subjects.

Pretty cool. Natalie Portman is among the readers of "Autocracy, Inc.," the powerful book by @anneapplebaum. It's a smart and important read, explaining the web of corruption among the world's dictators.

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

Tweet from Yuval Abraham:
"A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since."
