The only way to win is not to play but life is too short not to play. From Naarm / Melbourne, Australia Step/Mother/-in-law of 7 humans, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 axolotl, 11 fish. Fergus’ gran. Doesn’t really wear hats. Or believe in god.
A human starts a war, lives are lost, they live in a fancy home, in comfort for the rest of their days.
A dog bites someone, once, is put down.
It is hardly fair.

I could never support either the illegal USA or the apartheid/genocidal centre of the World, Israel.
To have the leader of my country supporting both these recalcitrants leaves me feeling fragmented and with great concern.
@albomp.bsky.social decision is to place all of us in great danger.
This is Bruegger. He learned a highly advanced new trick, demonstrating excellent use of both free will and spatulas. 13/10 (TT: maddmaddmad)
It’s no surprise Albanese called Grace Tame “difficult”. He has turned strong women in his party into enforcers (Wong) or silent subjugates (Pliberseck). He ridiculed women’s marchers.
Contrasted against the buffoonery of Dutton and Scomo he appeared progressive. But he’s just like them.
This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
Our latest.
Herzog needs to be questioned about this while he's here.
"Israeli forces have bulldozed part of a Gaza cemetery containing the war graves of dozens of British, Australian and other allied soldiers killed in the first and second world wars..." #auspol

Can’t believe the U.S. embassy in Australia was advertising how “easy” it is to apply for a visa to go there now. Like, really ?? Who the FUCK wants to go to that shit hole right now ??

Another totally messed-up act in colonial Australia.
First Nations peoples disregarded and sidelined, again.
Wongari (dingoes) murdered.
Shame on all responsible.

Thank you. I love this one very much
Almost all salmon in Australia is from Tasmania, and the industry there is essentially unregulated - and dangerously unhealthy.
Do not eat it.
Former Men at Work frontman Colin Hay has disavowed the use of the band’s 80s anthem Down Under by Australian anti-immigration protesters, saying the song “does not belong to those who attempt to sow xenophobia”.
Grifter whose business model is division talks "unity".

For those who don't know, today is "Australia Day". A day of mourning for our Indigenous population as it marks the date of invasion of this country.
Our government refuses to change the date, despite the fact that it's only recently been held on this day and has previously had many different dates
Most Australians think One Nation is a joke but… One Nation is now being coddled by Australia’s richest woman, and- make no mistake- the ultimate power in this country is held by the people with the most money. We need to be vigilant

“Coffee, food, milk… you name it”. My imagination is going wild thinking of all the crazy things that could encompass. Hot chocolate? Cookies?
They owe her, and all of us, an apology.
It’s going to be 35°C (95°F) here in Melbourne today (a temperate zone btw) and 45°C (113°F) tomorrow. Enjoy the cold and the snow!
A reminder that every person who voted for Trump voted for this.
Once again, I ask you that if you are sharing images in your post, particularly those involving news & activism, you include alt text so that your message is accessible to everyone. Disabled people are among the targets of this administration & there is no inclusivity without including them.
Several News Corp outlets are reporting claims that "Australians are less likely to support a business that boycotts Australia Day". The so-called poll is not a poll, it is an opt-in of News Corp readers, a classic #pollshapedobject
