Exotic Short Haired Persian squishing her already squishy face more squishy lol I’m smiling at the camera, kitten can be seen lying on the back of a grey couch over my left shoulder.

The face that adamantly says admires don’t touch… Message received, miss squishy face 🥰🤣

She attracted too much love from a recent young human & has decided she no longer enjoys being touched. Fair enough too, dare say I’d have the same reaction.

Sending love sis 🤗

I just posted something on the other place that reminds ppl that some of us can't actually protest in person, & to make anyone feel badly for not being present in physical protest is an abelist behaviour. Learn that.

This colony of settlers needs to have a read!

My ‘Indigenous Leaders’ are not people you’ve heard of. They are not m politicians or anyone else you know the names of. The people you do know the names of do not speak for me or mine; they don’t belong to my clans!!

#AuthorityNotGranted

Reskeet if you've ever:
- self-harmed
- attempted suicide
- been to a therapist
- cancelled on things because you don't have the energy to live
- lied about being okay
- had a panic attack in a public bathroom

the world needs to know how common these things are.

For all the settler colonial Australians needing another unfriendly reminder:
We are not your fucking possessions! Stop labelling Aboriginal &/or Torres Strait Islander People with the word ‘our’.

We were never yours & we never will be! Your place is not above us, it is beside us!

At what point did you assume posession of us as a people?

We are not yours, we never were yours & we never will be yours! We belong to ourselves, just as all people do!

#NotYourAboriginal

Considering lies told by ABC resulted in the NT Intervention (that also saw the Army training the same weapons on my family that some of them had been trained to kill with by the same Army) I don’t think ABC can ever be considered respectable with regards to Mob.

A reminder. Some genuine voice of Strong Blak Resistance to Extractivism to listen to today on the real fight when this violent coloniser's Referendum finishes. Foe.org.au/cr146

Before you vote this week, please remember what the PM told the Parliament of PNG in Jan this year “Independence was not Australia’s gift to give but your right to assert”

Why is our only option to allow Australians to give us a voice in your system, over upholding our own?

‘Aboriginal ppl were colonised because they didn’t have farms, fences, or a written language’ is some peak deficit discourse victim blaming nonsense... We got invaded because the same invaders who had been busily invading everywhere for a few hundred years finally came here and did what invaders do.

Nope not that up on technology these days lol

I’ve had my stuck my head in the ground for a couple of months now… barely open any socials but I wanted to watch a vid so had to pull my head out for a few minutes. Have again been reminded why I stuck in in there 🥴

For crying out loud! Now we can’t even open YouTube without being exposed to referendum garble! This has become nothing but insidiously invasive on our lives!

3 Persian kittens playing on my bed on top of a grey blanket. One is all white except for a pale ginger on her tail. Another has a mix of pale ginger & grey on his face. The third is sitting in a cardboard box, he is an ombré shade of grey, with a white chest & feet. All 3 have doll-faces & are all long haired. They are absolutely the perfect picture of all their 7 week old adorable-ness.

Close up of the ombré kitten’s face. Dark Grey nose that fades into the palest of grey shades (looks white in the photo). His bright blue eyes are looking towards the camera but not at it.

Close up of the other male with the pale ginger & grey face. His nose is ginger & bleeds across the left side of his face along his lip & under his eye. The grey shade cuts the right side of his nose & deepens just below his right eye. A wooden background can be seen & he’s standing on my pillow. His bright blue eyes are looking upwards & to the left, as I rustled a packet of lollies to get his attention for the photo lol

Has babysitting ever been this cute!? 🥰 I kinda want their forever home to be mine… but it’s not a clever choice to have more than one male in a breeding program.
So, can everyone pls remind me that I can’t be greedy & keep them! 😂

When does the colony take into account the Oldest Living Cultures in the World have their own systems of governance?

Our Clans have never ceded our sovereign rights to our own laws. What right do Australians have to vote about our unceded sovereignty!?

Would you be happy if other’s did it to you!?

South Coast fishing class action: "It's not a crime, it's our culture." Fifty Native Title holders from coastal regions including La Perouse, New South Wales South Coast and Eden met at Bingie, New South Wales, t...

"We have been battling with fisheries for the last forty years. They have nearly destroyed our way of life, by ignoring our law and discriminating against our rights," he said.

Happened a month ago & they haven’t even visited the site yet??

If it was their headquarters damaged, would they take over a month to check it out? We all know that answer!

Destroying our cultures is genocide! Remember that Australia!!

Doll-face Persian kitten sitting in a basket on a grey cat tower, an ivory wall in the background & a yellow strap holding a PomPom toy is hanging from the tower. Her amber eyes are looking at the camera & she has an extra long hair brindle coat, with all the shades of brown possible! She’s the fluffiest cat I’ve ever known (can even see her little moustache in this photo) & she needs multiple brushes a day to maintain her princess appearance lol

I know we are not meant to have favourites… but this is the real world 😅😅

She’s ever so affectionate & is always seeking loving hands. She’s also a little chatter box just like me. How can I not adore that face? Belonging to this fluff ball makes me melt 🥰

This Christmas, beware evangelical Christians bearing gifts | Polly Toynbee The Samaritan’s Purse charity sends gift boxes to children in Muslim countries. They contain a hidden agenda, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

The church hall had a bunch of boxes made up ready to tart for Operation Christmas Child this year. Ew.

Just as Aussies cannot vote for another state, nor can we speak for other clan groups. Meanwhile too many want to suggest it’s all fair & above board.

It will never be until we are all heard equally. Yes, even those of us who do not consent to any of it!

#SovereigntyNeverCeded

Would be great if Australians could remember the Abbott Govt handpicked 250 people from many more nations to attend the meeting.

We did not decide who spoke for us. Some of us were ‘lucky enough’ to have clan members there. Most of us were not & that means we were silenced in our exclusion!

They are ever so handy but the other side of that coin is a complete pain in the ass.
