A sign I seen this morning saying See a tent? Just fucking leave it… Cheers Living without washing or toilet facilities is no joke. Unless you can help, just mind your business

Seen this morning, great advice. Unless you have food or help on offer just leave them alone.
They are doing the best they can.

Trans women are women. Pass it on.

This message from Palestinian journalist, Wael Al-Dahdouh, must echo across the world.

Guess what?
The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions.
Want to know what really happened and how colleagues stood up for her?

Surely the point of a large institution is that some people working there understand finances and others understand other things, like physics and literature and how to maintain 10000 computers and how to stop students getting suicidally depressed. The problem is *not* that everyone can't do it all.

I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

The government has a choice: protect cultural rights and First Peoples’ data sovereignty — or cave to tech giants hungry for free labour and profit.

To the government we say: our culture is not yours to give away.

We must have a say in how it’s used.

First Peoples must be respected as rights-holders, not treated as data sources.

Any use of our culture must be based on consent, control and compensation.

Without that, AI becomes just another tool of colonial exploitation.

The Productivity Commission has suggested changes copyright law to let tech giants freely use creative work to train AI.

This would allow exploitation of First Peoples’ intellectual and cultural property.

Our culture is not “content” for governments to hand to tech companies.

AI must not be allowed to exploit Indigenous culture The federal government is being asked to make a decision that will shape the future of First Nations stories, art, music and journalism in Australia.Right now, the Productivity Commission is consideri...

Today is International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. This year’s theme focuses on AI.

And right now, the government is considering letting AI companies use copyrighted Australian work — including First Peoples’ stories, art and language — without our consent.

The former Attorney General of Israel, Michael Benyair is now calling Israel's actions in Gaza genocide.

"To eternal shame. Jews, who suffered a genocide 80 years ago, are committing genocide in Gaza. Shame, rage, and sorrow"

That 15% reciprocal looks pretty good for a lot of states within the EU. I guess they can’t crow about it for obvious reasons but I think places like Ireland that have exports at three times the rate of imports w/ the US, they must have some sense of relief.

Next Friday a number of us are gathering in Sydney to remember the life of Dr Wendy Brady who died last month. If you knew Wendy I hope you make it to USyd.

Details are: University of Sydney, Gadigal Centre, John Woolley Building (A20) on August 1st, starting at 11am.

For Mob, we really want to hear from you!

“Gender critical” by ensuring gender presentation and gender roles are policed. Slow hand clap to all involved

Young trans people’s deaths are being IGNORED by @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social while he removes lifesaving healthcare from trans youth, based on ideologically driven transphobia and/or desire for power! 😖

Why do we care about some people who go missing in the bush, but ignore others? The miraculous survival of German backpacker Carolina Wilga in the West Australian outback was met with joy and relief across the country. But for families of missing Aboriginal men who are still sear...

Ah anonymous troll. What would the internet be without you cowards?

Haha feeling every bit of my 59 and a half years!

I posted this midday on the 14th. The week before is non-binary awareness week.

59 year-old Aboriginal trans/non-binary person in a selfie wearing a nonbinosaurus shirt.

Happy Non-binary People’s Daaaaaay!
Stuff:
- there are older people who are non-binary.
- there are Indigenous people who are non-binary (but we’re not your ‘proof of concept’).
- the binary is a key element of the colonial project of gender.
-we’re an integral part of our community.

Meanwhile, what do families do? Maybe they emigrate (as I suggested a year ago) given Labour's revealed policy is 'cleanse Britain of the stain of transness.' But the families hit hardest, those without money to insulate them, don't have that choice. And for them life is almost literally unliveable.

Absolutely true Bron, but for many of us you’re that person.

People just need to be reading your work. I’m so grateful for everything you do.

If anyone else is threatened by Kathleen Stock - or any of those other GCs who love free speech so much they have defamation lawyers on speed dial - please do get in touch. We employ a full time lawyer to fend off this intellectually dishonest bullshit.

The sooner we close for-profit childcare centres, the better We let our babies become commodities. That's the problem.

Stop putting childcare into private hands. Now.

BREAKING Khaled Sabsabi reinstated as Australia's representative at 2026 Venice Biennale By Hannah Story

Huge news. This is a win for the artistic community who collectively rejected this racist censorship from the start and never let up - particularly Khaled’s peers who refused to take up the poisoned pavilion. Solidarity in action.
