When I was in my early 20s, a good friend got pregnant (unplanned). She was almost done with academic upgrading, as she'd prev dropped out of HS. Her reason for continuing the pregnancy? "He really wants to be a dad, like his friends!" Said friends were all deadbeats more interested in creation than

For anyone who doesn’t know, Australian welfare payments are locked to a mechanism that annually increases them in line with inflation (which is nowhere near enough).

Every year, the Government publishes a press release acting like the indexation increase is something they chose to do.

Fuck you, Vichy opposition!

Democrats say β€œoh no! Trans rights are too unpopular” when it polls *slightly* underwater on a *few* polls

but the bombing of Iran, which is wildly unpopular? You’ll happily just throw money at that?

Fuck you!

It's disgusting how they always take credit for the indexation increase. The figure is pathetic for the amount costs have gone up and how long they've been in office too.

...that they then proliferated to apartheid south Africa. South Africa then being the only country that has disarmed. But only for racist reasons - the apartheid government saw the writing on the wall, and "oh no, anc!"

I personally don't criticise REDUXX because they'd have to have enough substance to criticise to begin with

i wish ppl like @emily4mk.bsky.social would acknowledge this problem

all any tech platform has to do is label content as 'adult' and it suddenly vanishes from the internet

trusting tech companies, especially american ones, to do that is absurd

they could jus label 'birth control' as adult

This website is awful for discourse because it flattens everyone to their identity, and nothing else. But the truth is, your bank account matters.

Working for the New York Times, having a massive platform and powerful friends, those are all measures of power that can harm people. That matters.

someone on here said that the death penalty should be reserved for those who abuse state power and i’ve been rather fond of that carve-out

You know, when the left does decide to actually fight back, it isn't going to matter to the people fighting which side of the battle lines you personally believe you are on.

It is impossible to be too cynical about the sorry state of disability support in australia, or the future of disability support in australia, especially when you consider they've allowed jobseeker to become the defacto (but far less well paid) dsp for the vast majority of disabled australians too.

through all the hoops required to secure disability support. We should stop allowing them to talk about it like that's the same as whoever needs it the most because it's not, in any way, designed for that. It never has been either.

Both systems also refuse to take into account the (obvious!) fact that it's never just one disability causing you problems in isolation, nor do they consider the fact that poverty exacerbates them and reduces access to diagnosis etc. In a humane system that was actually designed to center the...

Yeah, they straight up have a different definition of "diagnosed, treated, and stabilized" to the one that Centrelink use to determine esp eligibility too, because they admitted it to me on the phone when I called them once. They're doing it on purpose. There's no other explanation that covers it.
