Help for families in Gaza
This war on Gaza’s people must stop
I’m a China correspondent for the BBC (formerly ABC); I worked on the ABC’s AM, PM and The World Today; I reported for Four Corners and Lateline on the ABC & where did all this start? Sydney’s 2SER radio. The loss of 2SER would be utterly terrible. It’s too depressing to consider. Come on!
This article co-written with @nickhall.bsky.social about women camera operators at the BBC in the 1970s and 1980s, is some of my most valuable work, yet also the least cited. www-tandfonline-com.ezproxy.newcastle.edu.au/doi/full/10....

TM: Note death, aged 100, of Sheila Tomlinson, leading editor of UK (BBC) television drama, developing the role in 30+ years, 1956<-1985, from film-editing to equivalent to feature film status as deputy director.
Should get the full, informed, obituaries she deserves.
Very cool!

Littleproud resigns. Never has a man achieved so little so often apart from his one true accomplishment - exhibiting the ultimate nominative determinism.

I just heard about the cassette shop in Manchester that opened in 2019, run by guys in their early 30s. They sell blank cassettes too!
it was so annoying when the track name took up two lines!

A collage of four photos. The top two are of computer screens showing the results of Ahmad’s mother’s eye exams. The lower left is an illustrated image of a woman in a blue hijab and orange shirt, and a man with a dark brown beard, mustache and hair and a red t shirt, his hand over his mother’s shoulder. Both have closed eyes and sad looks on their faces. The bottom right image is a photo of Ahmad and his mother. He is tall with dark hair and a neatly trimmed beard and mustache, wearing a black zip up shirt and he is smiling warmly. His mother is wearing a teal hijab with a silver fishnet pattern, and long sleeved shirt or dress with a plaid pattern of teal, black and white. Her face looks sad.
I’m Ahmed in Gaza, and I’m asking for your support for my mother.
She suffers from a retinal disease, and hasn’t had her medication in a year and a half 💔
She urgently needs an injection treatment, so she can see again. It costs $1000. Any amount helps. Thank you 🙏

The stolen generator also provides backup power to the Mt Gordon fire spotting tower in the Marysville Triangle area. A district that's already been thru Black Saturday.
With catastrophic fire conditions forecast for later this week, this theft puts lives at risk. As such, I urge you to reshare.
