Fuck yes. I'm still pissed that Coles had a float last year at the same time it had a Harry Potter-themed promotion.

Today marks 10 years since I legally removed a superfluous 'a' from my birth name.

I didn't know then that I'm non-binary, though it likely subconsciously influenced my decision.

I also didn't know my mother would disown me for it.

Despite the pain, it was the best decision of my life.

I literally jumped onto Bluesky to see your reaction to the Mark Parton news.

Reading The Invisible Doctrine by Monbiot & Hutchison and there are just so many great references and conclusions. But tonight, this one stood out to me.

Hard to think of anything in media that regularly brings me as much pure joy anymore as the headline in The New York Times' Trilobites section.

Canberra 'wannabe terrorist' behind bars over plans to attack protesters A 17-year-old Canberra boy is behind bars after shocking allegations he developed detailed plans for public attacks and had equipment to create a bomb in his bedroom.

Well, this is mildly terrifying in my city.

Two growing tax loopholes that are exploited by the rich – and how to plug the leaks Those on million-dollar incomes should not be able to manipulate the tax system to avoid paying their fair share.

Anyway, we need some joy, so here's the Egyptian foreign minister being given a Lego Pyramid by the Danish foreign minister.

Queer Xmas (i.e. SpringOut Fair Day) was a great reminder that there is loving community here in Canberra for LGBTQIA+ folks.

I needed that.

Happy Halloween. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich. For working people, it's been 40 years of all trick and no treat. Enough.

I literally came into the comments section to make this point!

This is just devastating. Only six hours of hope for some of Qld's most marginalised young people.

AFP finally responded to my complaint re: cops ignoring transphobic hate speech & refusing to answer my Qs on laws at the 1st MFA rally in Canberra.

Admitted all 3 cops I approached acted improperly, counselled all & will request additional info sent to protest cops.

Not enough, but something.

With Trump building a gold-covered ballroom while over 40 million US citizens will stop getting food stamps, this comparison seems even more apt.

I'm so happy that someone in my home state still has sense and compassion.

So happy to see that someone in my home state has sense and compassion!!!

OK, next holiday locked in. I've always wanted to meet Jareth, the Goblin King.

The Jolly Roger flag

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

Writing a job application has me wishing I had the confidence of a mediocre white man.

Damn it, I thought I had at least one semi-ethical comfort food. 😞

The more I learn about it, the more I believe that fascism is the ideology of the insecure, which feeds on the disaffected.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

It astounds me that I live in a time where we have to protest saying that Nazis are not welcome in our city.

Racism is never acceptable. Fascism is evil.

These should be uncontroversial statements.

The epic story of Australia and its first peoples — like you've never seen it The story of Australia and its peoples is vast and deep. It's one you should know, but possibly one you've never been told. Well, not like this anyway.

Such beautiful work from @abcnewsbot.bsky.social highlighting the deep histories of people in Australia and the beauty of their cultures and traditions.

What we must all remember from the Gaza genocide is that the international system is rotten to its core and needs to be completely replaced.

We cannot accept a system where Western governments and leaders can commit genocide and war crimes with total impunity.

Fresh video casts doubt on March for Australia NSN claims A previously unreported video has emerged appearing to show a key March for Australia organiser coordinating with a Neo-Nazi at the first rally in Sydney in August, ABC NEWS Verify has found.

More news that surprises no one!

A reminder to attend the counter-rallies tomorrow (Sunday)! The one in Canberra is from 11am at the National Library lawns.

Ask not how many cars you can power with solar power instead of biofuels, but how e-buses, trains, and e-bikes can move people affordably in a clean grid.
