More than 180 authors quit writers' week. Many returned for a DIY replacement Constellations emerged from the ashes of Adelaide Writers' Week, which was cancelled after authors withdrew over censorship. Organisers share how it came together and lessons for the future.

Thongs not an option with business attire. I have bought an electronic neck fan which I hope will help.

I'm going to Singapore in a couple of weeks for work. I'm from Adelaide - I definitely don't do humidity.

Clearly the plan is to cause as much pain & distress as possible. I don't know if it meets a legal definition of torture but it surely is.

They all complained about government but are happy to try and get back on the 'gravy train'. I will vote him last

I look forward to seeing your articles. We are heading to Singapore in a couple of weeks to check out APM. I would like to go back to Taiwan. Alexander, Horizon & Princess all build impressive boats.

I will continue my practice of putting Bernardi last. His wife commented the person Corey loves most in the world is Corey. He is a very self centred, arrogant POS.

The personal seems even worse than ever with the looming dark of domestic & world politics. I am fortunate compared to many but it everything weighs more heavily. Take care all.

I do wonder where and why the hatred of others. Are these churchy types scared of everything? They lack the intellect to deal with people being different? Independent thought must be abhorrent to them.

Capacity varies day to day as well, those days where nothing extra is possible vs those days you move the world. At the moment my load is very much mental & when I get home from work I cannot do much that requires brain power. Plenty smart enough just way to tired.

We flew in & out of Kaohsiung (Taiwan Boat Show) train & back to Taipei for a few days. The train was great.

It's an interesting place, was there in 2016 (?), then took the high speed train to Taipei. The service is so fast & frequent they had eliminated flights between the 2 cities.

After paying (until recently) very high child care costs people don't always see the expense in private schools - they are used to paying. Plus the dubious idea that private is always better. Not good use of funds.

More gaudy kitsch, I get why, must be gold & shiny (hopefully just gilding, but my dog how embarrassing.

Iranian Navy vessel was in international waters after a navy exercise including vessel from the USA. They have a right to be in international waters. The USA did not have a right to blow it up.

This was an act of war - the USA attacking a sovereign vessel in international waters, without provocation is a massive escalation. We all know it is illegal - the current administration cares little for that. It is how every other country acts in response that matters.

The USA have not declared war on Iran, firing at a sovereign vessel in international waters would surely be considered piracy. if it was Iran firing on a USA Navy ship we can be sure that the world response would be very, very different.

I don't think it would have happened under Dunstan, I doubt it would have happened if Mali hadn't been so loud (& wrong) about Dr Abdul Fattah. Those seeking to silence certain voices are emboldened by his actions.

Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman

Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism

A grassroots boycott called QuitGPT has been spreading across the US and beyond..... More than a million people have answered the call. Mark Ruffalo & Katy Perry have thrown their weight behind it

DO IT! Today! #QuitGPT

The US is now a rogue nation, firing a torpedo into an Iranian Navy Ship. There has been no declaration of war, there was no threat to the USA. The government is out of control. #NoWar

FFS, Adelaide has apparently lost its progressive mind. Decades of leading the way gone. Too many so called leaders are timid mice unprepared to stand up to bullies
