That's all right, we'll take the 8 points and 180% all the same 😉
We said goodbye tonight to our beloved rabbit. A rescue bunny who survived some terrible ordeals when she was young, she went on to be with us for 9 years. A large breed, she made it to an astonishing 11 years of age, and remained ferocious at heart till the very end. Farewell my Little Miss. 💙 😭
NACC's new report finds that two of the Robodebt Six engaged in serious corrupt conduct www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Thanks & solidarity to @chexabonus.bsky.social @kathmadgwick.bsky.social for your relentless pursuit of justice for Robodebt victims.
We are sorry for this devastating outcome, but your actions and those of everyone who stopped this scheme reverberate in the ongoing fight for a safe welfare system.
Things aren't good. They aren't looking up. Pouring everything I have into the collandar. I got nothing left. ☔
“The domestic violence femicide of Kelly Wilkinson is more tangible evidence of how badly frayed our safety nets are.
Kelly begged police for help. They told her to give her abuser a break & to go ‘cool off’. 9 days later, Earl Johnston burned Kelly alive. It was April 20, 2021. Kelly was only 27.”
Fucking wild. At best this is cowardly backing out of an obvious coming out narrative. At worst it's a refabrication of those experiences to serve as an emotional through line for the power of Spiderman. Ugh.
“I got a voice message saying he was gonna rape me … and if my ancestors come back, he’ll kill them again,” the Kaurna, Narungga and Ngarrindjeri woman told Guardian Australia.
The messages keep coming. In the past six months she’s been called a “black cunt” and a “cancer on society”.
🌴 CANBERRA PALM SUNDAY RALLY
🗓 March 29, 1pm, Civic Square
📣 #RefugeesWelcome
Trudy from the Refugee Action Campaign at ANU explains why she will be at the Palm Sunday Rally.
AJ didn't lead any of that. He claims to have led those conspiracies, but he didn't. He tried and failed to co-opt QAnon after it blew up & he failed. He was late to Epstein & his 1990s stuff was just rehashed 1980s satanic panic nonsense. He was and remains a money hungry narcissistic liar.
Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.
It doesn't punish them. It abuses and traumatises them.
They come out hating everything, especially themselves because every minute of everyday they are told nobody wants them to live. They are subjected to all forms of abuse adults can dish out

Learning about cool mini-stories in the card art over sets is why I enjoy MTG. More of this kind of story telling please 🤩
“I write in the hope that the psych ward I do visit next, if that unfortunate day comes, is a reformed one, a changed one and one that treats its patients with a level of dignity and respect not always seen in the past.”
Jarni Blakkarly on the broken promises of mental health reform.
And, yes, the Siege of Terra itself manages to be something pretty unique in scifi insofar as characters and plot lines that have been underway since Horus Rising are entwined and concluded in a series that manage to etch a war-epic that doesn't have easy comparison.
From PoD you can go Master of Mankind into Slaves to Darkness, then Titandeath and then straight to the Siege of Terra.
MoK is the war in the webway, StD is the Horus gang uniting and TD is the war for Beta Garmon that immediately precedes the Solar War.
This is actually sick. I love it.
i know it's the fin review and i should expect such language. but still: yuck www.afr.com/politics/fed...
Robert Entman’s work on Cascade Network Activation Theory in political communication systems is still very relevant to understanding principles and dynamics of framing political news in traditional media spheres. Several books and papers across the 1990s and 2000s with excellent case studies.
Calling what Israel is doing a genocide is not antisemitic, even though most genocide apologists will use that ploy at every chance. It is evidence backed fact.
Grace Tame suggests Anthony Albanese labelling her ‘difficult’ is ‘misogynist’s code for a woman who won’t comply’
Please never stop pushing for this. As someone in community advocacy, robust rights frameworks are night and day for negotiations, policy advice and reform planning. Achieving a proper Human Rights framework for Australia will a defining outcome for all of us.
We need a Human Rights Act.
“She just doesn’t have the spinlessness needed for politics,” said Albanese chaser.com.au/national/spi...

Labor leaking some austerity budget messaging now they've cleaned up the Coalition's mess and spent a windfall or two on election-focused policies with very little impact on anything other than social media metrics among people who were voting for them already. Oh well!
TEN ministers backgrounding in FEBRUARY on how the Budget is going to be Dogshit. Cowardice and idiocy in equal measure. Come clean with the public about your constant two-faced lies and how you intend to account for them.
