Thanks for the shout out @emmashortis.bsky.social in the latest after America 🤩 I’ll always reinforce this point - right wing attacks on trans people are the blue print for how they want to police gender for everyone

A government sending military in to quell protestors is usually something American media would label said government as a regime for. The irony

I'm convinced that the CIA runs toxic leftist debate bots whose sole purpose is to go into TikTok comment sections about Chappel Roan and say how she's a fake leftist

Watching that Charlie Kirk debate and it melts my brain that even British progressives who are ostensibly not anti trans still use ‘adult human female’ and ‘biological reality’. The UK is so cooked

More than ten years worth of Australia’s emissions in a single facility for export. There is nothing that the Labor party could do this term - or ever - that could bring it back from the impact of this decision for climate harms. Absolutely evil.

Even in the wake of a historic victory all that’s left of Labor is a party that’s only platform is to run away from any wedge issue the liberals may attempt - no matter how irrelevant the liberal party is or how gutless a decision is

So @albomp.bsky.social used his thumping majority to deliver Peter Dutton’s gas policy. What a gutless nothing. Proud day I guess for all those who worked in the campaign. Your values being brought to life!

I bought this game Sunday and was like let’s see what it’s all about and straight up, I was fucking sobbing 15 minutes in.

My experience of bsky is it’s infinitely better then twitter and whenever there’s discourse you know people are opting into it voluntarily due to lack of organic algo to push division and to me that just says it’s a holdover from twitter culture and with time it’ll heal

Arsenal beating Barcelona for the champions league is actually incredibly hype

I’m personally revoking your Australian slur pass @ibnkulthum.bsky.social until you learn to pronounce them properly with the same vitriolic mirth of a 55 year old bogan 8 beers deep at the pub

As a senior political advisor i must say i am shocked that starting to wholly disassemble the rights of this minority group has not taken the heat out of this debate

Suggesting the car bombing of the Maltese journalist to cover up the Panama papers being released as an episode for hell to pay @ellehardy.bsky.social Seems like a perfect candidate

So refreshing to just listen to a few comrades chat on @helltopaypod.bsky.social after my usual political diet

Arrived in time for me to read over what will be a very long hair dying appointment next week! Can’t wait to dive in @emmashortis.bsky.social

Bro I’ve been saying for YEARS that women in action roles should get buff and I’m SO PSYCHED FOR BUFF SOPHIE TURNER. She’s fucking SHREDDED 🥵 And playing one of my favourite female action heroes

@emmashortis.bsky.social boys will be boys episode was really good and touched on a point not made enough outside trans circles - the policing of trans people by right wing forces is a vehicle to police every other minority. What they do to us they will do to you

Being asked to call themselves the “Nationalss” was just a step too far.

Imagine being Hanks therapist - I’d constantly be like what am I doing with my life after sessions with him

Omg the funniest outcome of the election is Nats potentially breaking up with the Libs. After years of the libs wedging labor over forming coalition with the greens it’ll be so funny to see the shoe on the other foot

Great points on climate action by @ibnkulthum.bsky.social and @comradesipho.bsky.social on ep 3 of Hell to pay - Australia is gonna have hell to pay when the pacific nations decide asking us politely to stop accelerating the submerging of their nations isn’t working

Just listened to the first ep and it was really entertaining! I’m very curious now whether the new pope will continue the reform efforts.

And yet we couldn't possible have offshore wind due to the eyesore 🙄

"There is no need to be scared anymore." - @richarddenniss.bsky.social The Liberals and the right-wing media have shown how little their influence is. The only thing that can hold back progressive reform is a lack of ambition.

Holy listening to the latest ep of @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social at work and I just had to walk outside and stare solemly at the trees and nature around my office while I listened because it deserved my full undivided attention. I’m experiencing FEELINGS
