Schadenfreude and Apathy

To Senator Pauline Hanson: Pauline Hanson is a fraud.

The Australien Government has made an ad about the Social Media Ban for Under-16s, and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

"We cannot keep pretending that JobSeeker is an interim payment for a couple of weeks just to get people over a bad patch," Chambers said.

'The worst we've seen': The type of job that's getting harder to find in Australia A new report has painted a grim picture of Australia's employment system, calling on the federal government to urgently intervene.

'The worst we've seen'
"Given that anyone can apply for entry-level jobs and more people were taking on extra work due to the cost of living, there was likely "greater competition than even we are measuring"

One way to reduce stress is to meditate. Another way is to not live under a fascist government. This has been wellness tips!

The "fair go" is dead. Albanese governs a nation where billionaires buy yachts the size of suburbs while families sleep in cars. Welfare isn’t safety... it’s punishment. Poverty is the new infrastructure.

I’m astounded by how many Australians are up for accepting lower standards of living because the people they elected and pay tell them it’s required.

British doctor comes back from Gaza and confirms two things we knew: 1- the Israelis *specifically* confiscate formula feed to starve children 2- there is a clear pattern in gun shot wounds pointing to the fact that IDF soldiers are playing games hunting humans.

As scholars of genocide, we demand an end to Israel’s atrocities | Open letter Within weeks, 400 colleagues joined our organization. We say: it is not too late to save lives. End the genocide now

Srsly what would 400 scholars of genocide and Holocaust studies know about genocide

this is what happens when you let private sector fuckwits take over critical public sector organisations and try to run them like the private sector!! cut jobs, automate shit, but with no actual understanding of the systems and why they cannot and should not run that way

An Australian company supplies "over 700 highly technical parts to ensure the fighter is mission-ready, anytime and anywhere."

I'm sure the senator can detail the list of parts.

Maybe the only lethal parts of the F35 are the ordnance. The rest of it is just a soft, cuddly ordnance delivery system.

Would the F-35 work without the non-lethal parts? If it wouldn't, then they're not really non-lethal, whatever our weaselly Foreign Minister says. If it would, why do the people who make F-35s want them? Are we just making the furry dice or something?

5. Remember this, next time you are tempted to dismiss environmental protesters, or campaigners against the genocide in Gaza or anyone else risking their liberty for the sake of others. Breaking the law doesn't make them bad. In some cases it means they are the very best of people.

I look adorable as an anime girl, it's a shame that real life isn't as kind! 🤣

Please note 📝

These numbers are much lower than the ACTUAL amount of #covid circulating

Most people don't test

Very few people get access to PCR testing now

Take care
You're on your own

No recovery from being #immunecompromised after #longcovid

many of you will scroll past
-That's OK

Reality is more of us are ##immunecompromised after repeated #covid infection

Day 10:

-extreme fatigue persists
-very sore sensitive eyes (sun hurts)
-aching browbone/eye sockets
-unable to walk very far
- extreme muscle/joint pain
It fucking sucks

It's awful isn't it?

It's not like you can even protect yourself from further infection and damage, when you have a kid that goes to school.

*Gentle hugs*

Take care Lisa. 🫂💜

Trump signs executive orders to spur US ‘nuclear energy renaissance’ President aims to construct new nuclear reactors as he implements his own energy policies and undoes Joe Biden’s

Stupid fvcking idiot! And watch out, Australia & Canada: here's the reason for invading our countries.

Australia - largest uranium deposits
Canada - highest quality uranium

@albomp.bsky.social don't think Trump won't. Be ready.

NSW flooding: PM delivers climate crisis warning as flood-hit region braces for strong winds and fifth body found Anthony Albanese acknowledges home insurance now a ‘real challenge’ as government announces disaster assistance for 19 local council areas in NSW

"Albanese says extreme weather events...are becoming more frequent and intense as a fifth body has been found in the disaster-hit region."

What the PM didn't say:
'It would be irresponsible of us to approve any more gas fields or coal mines.' #hypocrisy #auspol

IDAHOBIT Day

May 17 marks the date in 1990 that homosexuality was removed from the WHO Classification of Diseases.

LGBTQIA people don’t have something ‘wrong’ with them, but a lot of attitudes and structures in this society continue to communicate that. What can you do to help?

Nice day for pre poll

At least I won't get sunburnt but the challenge will be keeping the HTVs from being a soggy mash

Remember we can't keep voting for the duopoly and expect things to be different. Vote 1 Greens for a better future

The origin story of the Anzac biscuit is largely myth – but that shouldn’t obscure the history of women during the war The Anzac biscuit is a cultural icon, invented after the first world war. But women still provided necessities and small comforts to the ANZACs.

The first printed recipe for a biscuit with “Anzac” in the title. Neither oats nor coconut were included. The recipe called for eggs, rice flour, cinnamon and mixed spice, and the baked biscuits were sandwiched together with jam and topped with icing.

Thanks, it's totally not going to "work" and will just lead to more frustration. It might save the last remaining bulk billing practices, but nowhere around here even bulk bills pensioners even with the current incentives for them

"If returned, I’ll keep pushing for them to act on that advice."

that;s the key hey?
and maybe get someone living in poverty on the committee
