From the liver to the knee
Resolutions Omar Sakr Tomorrow, I will address my flaws. Tomorrow, I will set the future to my tiller. Tomorrow, I will free Palestine single-handed. Tomorrow, I will save the coral reef. Tomorrow, I will destroy the saint within and leave only the human. Tomorrow, I will free myself of small delusions and entertain only the grand. Tomorrow I set my sights on kissing the moon's dusty cheek, if she will have me. Tomorrow, I will finally replace the old water tank. Tomorrow, I murder the mould in my house. Tomorrow, I adequately thank all who have lent me a hand, a kind word, a meal. It will take a thousand years. Tomorrow I live for a thousand years of gratitude. Tomorrow, I write a less embarrassing poem. Tomorrow, I scour my ego until it is perfect, small and shiny as a pickled egg. Tomorrow, remind me, won't you, to order my thoughts into a practical and functional list. Tomorrow, when my son is free of cancer, O tomorrow, then I will be able to plan.
Resolutions.

(Not confident we are smart.)

Bezos' talk about "personal liberties" reminds me of a very popular thread I once wrote over on the Bad Place, about libertarians and what they mean by "freedom."

Going to hell with a handy basket
Just a week after announcing award-winning Lebanese Australian artist Khaled Sabsabi as Australiaβs pick for the 2026 Venice Biennale, Creative Australia has capitulated to media and political pressure and dumped him.
I note with extreme interest, the ABC has spent millions settling cases in the past few years with white men that they clearly have not wanted to enter into an open court battle with.
The ABC however, is happy to aggressively witch-hunt a Lebanese woman to the ends of the earth.
Why?

I just finished my very first book club meeting as an author, (I've done it as a reader, but usually talking too much at meet-ups & pretending I've read the book)
Thank you so, so much to 9 fascinating, enthusiastic, warm and witty women who made the entire experience so joyful.

Can't help but notice that the four arguably most articulate and resonant voices coming out of the US at the moment, resisting the new regime with passion, wisdom and courage, are women.

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. Itβs called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. Iβve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now β₯οΈβ₯οΈ
