Absolutely incredible work on this project. Australia has a very bloodied and dark history. It must be exposed to the light so we can move forward with honesty, integrity, and with a spirit of reconciliation.

Christ no. I'm on SSRIs up to my eyeballs.

One of my favourite criticisms of the effects of slavery is that it created a languid, incurious ruling class of ignorant bumpkins with no incentive to improve anything. I mean if production didn't need slavery, what were slaveowners FOR?

Of course I would

Let me take this format for a spin

You little ripper! Tested Covid negative last night. Went on a big scoot to celebrate strava.app.link/3wEe2yf1cRb

URGENT: 7:19pm: Grass fire in Kilmore heading towards Donnybrook. Residents of Bylands, Forbes, Springfield, and Willowmavin should activate their fire plans. This is exactly how, with similar weather conditions, Black Saturday started. Activate your fire plan and prepare. Now.

Any nation that is dependent on Starlink for military comms should be building sovereign capability. Don’t want to become a hostage to the whims and bullying from the US.

Transphobic laws are bad, wrong and evil in themselves. And they will ALSO be used against cis people who deviate in the slightest from approved gender presentation. Stand up for yourself - stand up for everyone

are there ANY bad pictures of this man?! he's a walking thirst trap

And yet, the genders still move. And shift. And flow. Imagine being in this incredibly advanced technological age and wanting desperately to accept that gender cannot be changed. How unambitious. They call *US* Luddites.

ANY TIME you ask yourself why a politician is doing something that's not good for their chances of winning an election, repeat "future employment" until it sinks in to your bones

My friend @zombiespaceship on Instagram, who has her masters in library sciences and is damn good at organizing information, has put together a useful resource— a running list of all of Trump’s executive orders, sorted by subject category docs.google.com/file/d/11U3Q...

National Gallery of Australia literally had Pacific Indigenous art collective SaVĀge K’lub cover up the Palestinian flag in their work days before the opening of their exhibition. This racist censorship is rife throughout the arts in Australia, it is disgusting! www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Last week I got DMs from Gazans that the eSims we sent them and kept topped up allowed them to graduate university. This is why eSims are still necessary. Donate: bit.ly/eSimsRUs #ConnectingGaza

My friend just told me about her current Sims game where her character and her werewolf ex-wife are co-parenting because they divorced because the werewolf couldn't handle suburban domesticity but they hooked up again when she came over and they have great sex but can't live together.

my sweet summer child, use alt text for all the glorious good it can do

I am so glad he's saying this. Whatever Gilligan's intentions were, Walter White as cultural icon has empowered the Right. (I've watched BB and BCS right through, they're fantastic. But it's too easy to take White as a hero).

What if I told y’all that race is, in fact, not an immutable characteristic? It is a construct created to parce power, opportunity and economic advantage. A person racialized as Black might be 10% African or 100%, but regardless of genetics, they share a common history of exclusion.
