Australia’s teacher shortages are some of the shortest (longest?) in the world! | First Dog on the Moon Imagine having the responsibility to mould the tiny minds of the next generation and you have to buy your own clag

Good morning beautiful people! If you’re in Sydney or Melbourne, PARA is looking for furniture donations for Palestinian refugees. If you don’t have any furniture to donate, they have options to purchase items for the families directly. See below, poke me if you have questions.

"Today, the U.S. is funding two separate genocides even as Americans at home find themselves unable to afford basic necessities: groceries, health insurance, housing, and childcare."

Constant power denied to 65,000 customers forced to pay upfront or disconnect Communities on prepaid power meters face regular disconnections amid 40 degree-plus heat, meaning no aircon, food rotting in the fridge and long, hot walks to get reconnected.

Another day in the colony

There are about 65,000 customers like Mr Kunoth and Ms Peters who are on government prepaid power plans mandated in locations with significant First Nations populations in the Northern Territory, Western Australia, Far North Queensland and South Australia.

Declaring a ceasefire was to shut critics up, the colonisers are still doing their thing

My limit is three unless I'm quoting someone who has used more but I'm not comfortable going over three. An ex-partner has commented that I use them excessively. As in, he doesn't like them used at all. This is why we're no longer together and why I use them when communicating with him! 😼

Thanks, Lizzy. I'm also grateful. Those that need to hear it would be good. No hope for Sky watchers. My post is also a nod to @davemilbo.bsky.social's TT re Oasis. I used the titles of their 7 studio albums in it, in order, starting with Definitely Maybe. It kind of fitted. Hope they don't sue! ✌️😹✌️

awooga! awooga! warning: zionist propaganda ahead

Definitely maybe one of their best. (What's the story) morning glory astroturfers? Be here now, standing on the shoulder of giants, if you want to learn about the heathen chemistry of the divinity mob, pretenders and neolibs who assault reality and say: Don't believe the truth.

Dig out your soul ✌️

To all the extremely obvious astro-turfers (thank you for your attention, it's validating 👋) in The Sunday Shot's live chat that want to see more "balance" i.e. right-wing bullshit, just watch.... I dunno, every single other show on TV? We are the balance across a decrepit landscape. You'll cope!

Sorry, I can't choose between one and three but it looks like three is the winner!

Delighted to be on the excellent #SundayShot again, despite the visual metaphor of my lighting. (Off to remedy that now 😬)

I read this great piece hearing bestselling author Ronni's voice! 👏👏👏

'How about that for a win for Australia? Our minerals being dug up for the USA, and processed here by the USA, by a USA-owned corporation, to ship to the USA? But did we tell you Kevin Rudd once said something about Trump?'

Parliamentary behaviour! Instead of saving the planet we get to watch very highly paid folk yelling at each other | First Dog on the Moon It’s awful

If we get the politicians we deserve we must be really terrible and also smell bad... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Government efforts to improve women’s safety in the welfare system must focus on improving their financial position and agency in the system, and eliminating the ways offenders can use it to perpetrate their abuses—but it’s clear safety has nothing to do with these amendments.”

Joint statement: Civil society groups call on government to abandon police power to stop Centrelink payments without proper judicial process open.substack.com/pub/apcentre...
Quote pictured from @maximumwelfare.bsky.social

If Labor wants to tinker with the social security system, they should increase payments above the poverty line, which will serve to help victims of these crimes a whole lot more than convoluted and potentially unlawful ways to cancel people’s payments.”

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

You could condemn the PM's complicity with Israeli atrocity, the gaslighting, and that he won't say 'genocide' after two years (despite acknowledging it privately), but let's focus on the 'antisemitic' nature of a Joy Division t-shirt. This is the discourse of the dumbfuck.

No Joy, only Division: It's just the stupidest stupid we've yet seen A self-processed former "punk" using her position to criticise the PM for wearing a Joy Division T-shirt is stupid-stupid, even for Auspol.

In an exclusive Q&A, international human rights lawyer Chris Sidoti shares his fears for the survival of international law and Australia's avoidance of the Gaza genocide

www.deepcutnews.com/p/chris-sido...

Sidoti mentions that journalists tell him of the "pressure" they encounter when writing about Gaza:

"I’ve been doing human rights work for 45 years... I’ve never encountered journalists saying this to me."

I said something along these lines last weekend although sans the Milner mastery of maxims. 'The discourse of the dumbfuck' is off. the. charts. The DD about AA wearing JD has been charting at No. 1 for a week now, and still going. I've braved it out and kept my head(er) 🫤
