Writing Slowly

My name’s Richard. I live in Sydney, on the traditional land of Bidjigal people of the Eora nation. Here I write about writing and reading (and what I do when I'm not writing or reading). I'm writing slowly but may at some point speed up. Connect with me on micro.blog or at Mastodon @aus.social@writingslowly. On Reddit, I'm @atomicnotes.

    As 9/11 is commemorated again it’s worth reflecting on why some people are wary of US foreign policy. This 9/11 is also the 50th anniversary of the Nixon/Kissinger coup in Chile.
    If you think human rights is all ’liberal crap’, as Nixon did, that right there is why we remain wary.

    “¡Nunca más!” 💬

    There are more than 150 of these signs in Wales.

    📷 Day 7 | panorama #mbsept

    Can’t believe it’s been a week already. Good memories of this beach in Wales.

    A panoramic photo of a beach at low tide. The sky is reflected in the wet sand. In the centre of the picture stands a flag to indicate where it's safe to swim, but the tide is obviously too far out for swimming.
