Good grief!! The privilege given to #criminal public figures and #genicidal #Zionists has never been so entrenched in our history.

Louise Adler sets the record straight on Adelaide Writers' Week The Adelaide Writers’ Week (AWW) debacle might have served as a “life lesson” to politicians and lobbyists about the risks involved in interfering with the independence of arts organisations. But as we have seen at Newcastle and the Sydney Writers Festival some are apparently slow learners.

The Adelaide Writers’ Week saga was about lobby groups, false equivalence and pressure on cultural institutions to bend to political demands, Louise Adler writes.

Box cover of the Ticket to Ride: Europe board game. Artwork shows. Black steam train, a quaint station, snow peaked mountains in the background and a few Victorian figures in the foreground. A bright 15 million Ticket to Ride Games Sold sticker is placed in the bottom right hand corner.

Cover of A Place for All My Books board game. The artwork is soft and cozy, with a brown haired person seated on the ground in front of a full bookshelf. They’re surrounded by other stacks of books, with a cat sleeping on one stack and a hot drink places on another.

I’m never really sure why many writers festivals leave out games, zines, comics etc.
The writing, world building, artwork and design work involved is often inspired- and made to be shared.
