  1. CW: A note to non-Australians about Australia Day, 26 January

    @futzle Every year, the 26th January sees Invasion Day protest marches and other events mourning genocide and dispossession, celebrating the survival of many of the oldest continuous cultures in the world, and expressing ongoing resistance led by local Indigenous peoples across the continent.

    In Gadi (Sydney), most years see tens of thousands of people march from the city to the Yabun festival in Vic Park.

    This year will be especially important, given the NSW government's efforts to suppress protest in the name of 'social cohesion' (because denying people a voice has always turned out really well for long-term cohesion, right?). Organisers are planning to march, even if the government extends the anti-protest laws for another two weeks. The more people show up, the less likely it is that the authorities decide to cause trouble.
