If you care more about windows, than Palestinian children, that says more about you than it does about protestors. @JacintaAllanMP pic.twitter.com/dyMdNnzCQt

So yeah I fucking love Xmas frivolity. I have my tree up and will be getting all the Xmas tees and skirts and dresses out as soon as I have a couple days sunshine to pop them through the wash. If Mary was trying to make her way back to the right town for the census this year she’d be herded from on place to another and would be counting her blessings even more if she got a manger and wasn’t in a refugee tent with planes and drones and soldiers all around.
If I was in Melbourne I’d go look at the windows at Myer each year. It’s totally up my alley. But you know, it’s not ruining Xmas to have a protest interrupt the opening. If it ruins your Xmas to not see the windows on Sunday this weekend, then, wow. Wow is all I have for you.

Your kids won’t mind if they have to go next Saturday instead. Of after school. Or any other day up til early January when they take them down. But I don’t think they kids will be the ones sad about it and I feel like the kids have more compassion for the other kids their age around the world than any adult who’s kicking up a fuss about this.
The mass exodus to Bluesky makes me sad. I mean I guess I’ll end up there if that’s what happens but I’m holding on to twitter as long as I can. I fkn live there babes. And I was already planning on hosting the #PoveratiXmas giving tree across both sites, so look for that hype at the start of December and get your wishlists and mutual aid requests ready, and hopefully some secret santa-ing will happen. Again super worried it’ll be a flop, but people have told me that they’ve been enjoying putting their wishes down so that’s sweet.
But I’m also just gonna play more video games I think hah.
