Title: Vetting the ISIS brides. Two frames. 1. Man with clipboard inside entrance of tent talking to woman in full burqa nursing baby with two small kids playing beside on the dirt floor. Man says: “Just a few questions…Are you: bigoted? Lacking compassion? Have you scant regard for due process and the presumption of innocence?” 2. Same scene, man continues: “If ‘yes’ to all those, you satisfy the “Australian values” test as demonstrated by our political class, and we look forward to bringing you home.”
Vetting the brides.

Whatever the term is supposed to mean(?), when political types like these two use the term, all I hear is:
Unreconstructed male white patriarchal western-literary-canon corporatist bible-fundamentalist neo-liberal elitist.
That's it.

It’s so easy to forget that one of humanity’s greatest scientific minds was a real person with stomach issues he hated & a family he loved, but ever since learning about Darwin’s various chronic illnesses I’ve found him infinitely relatable. 🍀🐝

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.
