Who’re you calling slow?
I’ve got two pieces I’ve been working on for a while almost ready to go up on the blog/letter: “On the necessity and limits of left populism” and “ACAB includes (climate) COPs”.

31% of Jewish New Yorkers voted for Mamdani.
To me, this says the absolute dominance of Zionism in the diaspora has broken. As New York goes, the rest of the diaspora follows. This is massive.

Haven’t even started in academia and this old profile is being resurrected and turned into slop?!?
Seriously, though. Can you turn it off? Or should I just quit the service? Any point being on there?

So yeah, I’m a bit obsessed with Ali Smith, sure, but this book is truly something else. It’s both devastating and uplifting. Also laugh-out-loud funny and mind-expandingly thoughtful. Think I’ll have to read this one again in a little while.

She taught us so much about being related to the rest of the natural world, living understanding that interrelationship. Vale Jane Goodall

In a rather WTF moment, someone left a banana peel neatly on my bike saddle while I was swimming.
Is it a message of some kind?
Or a genuine accident?
There are food waste bins 10m away…

My heart is broken in a million pieces.
There’s so much tragedy in the world, but today this is mine. This magnificent creature gave so much love and joy for ten years.
My beloved Midnight has left us, after a long illness, curled up at home with me and my daughter. She was the bestest.

It’s time we believed Labor when they tell us they are quite happy to see countless people, not to speak of creatures, die in fires, floods, droughts and storms, so as to enable the fossil fuel industry to keep making profits a while longer.
The old world is dead. Time to birth the new.

Brought my beloved baby home from hospital and she got straight into a nice cardboard box.
Steeling ourselves for saying goodbye. Can’t bear to think about it too much. Not clear how much longer she will be with us.

Aaaand the Albanese Government has approved its first fossil fuel expansion of the new term.
We're all (legitimately) focussed on genocide, while governments like ours are actively pursuing a policy of omnicide.
How nice to have a stinking parliamentary majority and use it for ecocide.

Huge crowd in Canberra today. 4-5000, I estimate. Which for our little town is massive.
None of us will ever be safe until all are safe.
Killing leads only to more killing. The killing must end.

Later than usual this year comes the important annual question: “wattle we do about this, then?”
And while we’re being humerus, I taut I tore my rotator cuff, but it turns out I’ve fractured my greater tuberosity. Sounds dramatic, but I can shoulder the pain.

Yesterday, some 5000 of us marched in little Canberra. Proud to march with a strong Jewish contingent.

Such joy! In Hobart marking 10yrs since this hero and giant of ecological politics, @christinemilne.bsky.social retired
Fab reunion filled with laughter & tears & fun
“They shall count themselves accursed they were not there”
Incredible privilege to be one of the happy few to have been there

And yes, to lighten the tone, we are also having a holiday on this long service leave trip!
To prove it, here are some shots of a walk and a lunch and a very chilly dip up in the Pyrénées Arriégeois two days earlier 😜
Back to my holiday now. But wanted to share the Fittko walk.

It was also just a beautiful walk! Especially on the ascent on the French side. Stunning views across the foothills of the Mediterranean Pyrenees, down to the sea. A five hour hike with a 600m elevation. Good going for a couple of middle-aged Jewish intellectuals, older than Arendt was 😜

We honoured our beloved grandmothers, holocaust survivors who also fled persecution in Europe, and thought about the countless others who have done so, and continue to do so, and the systems that drive such persecution.
It would have been my Oma’s 99th birthday today. Her memory is a blessing.

We honoured Lisa Fittko, and contemplated how the incredible example of Jewish courage she gave has been co-opted by the IDF and turned into precisely what Fittko abhorred and gave so much to fight against.
Someone has done a great job of adding Fittko’s legacy to the “Chemin Walter Benjamin”
