Not enough has been written about Schrödinger’s assistant, Otto.

An Australian has made a heartfelt plea for fighting to end in the Middle East, saying a global war could wreak havoc on innocent financial investments and superannuation accounts.

Peak men's DV grp No to Violence:"We can’t police our way out of DV .. little evidence jail's effective in changing behaviour" If reporting was supported & sentencing serious there'd be at least some disincentive for MVAWG? We could maybe give it a red hot go 1st? womensagenda.com.au/politics/loc...

This is a polite and sensible call for women's safety organisations to work more together to evolve their approach to preventing male violence. It's too late to do anything else. Men must stand up at last. womensagenda.com.au/latest/an-un...

Good News: most men say they want to changes in women's safety. Bad news: 43% think they' can't help. Isn't it past time those men took initiative to be involved in solutions? Their violent, misogynist mates give them no choice but to be involved in the problem www.ourwatch.org.au/news/four-in...

Comfort Zone: This new campaign empowers young Australians to recognise controlling behaviours and communicate healthy boundaries through an interactive game that helps them explore relationships of all kinds — with friends, partners, family, and more. www.theline.org.au/comfortzone/

Experts warn that its not possible for foragers to safely & correctly identify poisonous mushrooms. Meanwhile closing arguments are in court for someone charged with deliberate mushroom poisoning. It's hard to see how "beyond a reasonable doubt" can be reached in this matter?

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

In case some MRA tries to tell you that its all in our heads. Its time the NSW Govt put our money where their mouths are for women's basic safety. It's time men took responsibility for making the changes needed womensagenda.com.au/politics/loc...

Participation prize. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Not all men? If it wasn't you, it was one of your two mates. So its way, way overdue for men to take the lead in reducing male violence womensagenda.com.au/latest/what-...

now that is some funny shit

Call it what you will if they could sell adverts on the 2sq cms of panty gusset on some star's outfits they would. It's woman-forward but is it feminism for all body shapes? Girl power and girl bosses might be ‘feminist’ – but we can’t consume our way to equality theconversation.com/girl-power-a...

Why do women have to choose safety or housing? The ALP must fix this in their current federal term if they want most women to be able to move from "survival only" mode to a life with choices beyond safety or housing. How to change a bad law www.themonthly.com.au/december-202...

Apparently the feminist movement needs to coordinate more for women's safety to become a govt priority. Yeah. That'll fix it. Or maybe men finally need to take responsibility for male violence or face sanctions? Why Australia needs a united feminist front womensagenda.com.au/latest/why-a...

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

It's not even a serious question though, is it? We know why we aren't stopping them. If we cared, we'd do it. We don't believe women or when we do, we don't give a shit. "We know who’s causing harm. The question is: why aren’t we stopping them?" womensagenda.com.au/latest/we-kn...

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

QLD is again leading the way on domestic & family violence legislation. Unlike NSW, coercive control in QLD also applies to family members & unpaid carers. NSW must catch up & the other jurisdictions should make the move urgently www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...
