Idiot plot
This morning the Labor Government couldn’t even bring themselves to support a motion that condemns Islamophobia and calls for action. Instead, they shut down debate while whitesplaining a Muslim woman and attacking the Greens.
With Australian games media on its knees, a new magazine is trying to keep a scene alive:

What a fucking crock.
Two mid-level officials found to be corrupt by the NACC, but the big guns get off scot-free forever.
The Royal Commission found that “Robodebt was a crude and cruel mechanism, neither fair nor legal” and “a costly failure of public administration, in both human and economic terms.” The Royal Commission made 56 recommendations, all of which were accepted or accepted in principle by the Government.
The government is still persisting with the claim that there were only 56 recommendations out of the robodebt royal commission, when there were 57 and they just didn't like that last one.

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
An Australian study of anti-feminist attitudes shows up to 30% of boys surveyed expressed agreement with various forms of violent extremism. 👉 theconversation.com/40-of-t...

I'm a big fan of the idea that public office holders should be banned from sending their kids to private schools. Same with private healthcare.
I do appreciate cis advocates of trans healthcare, especially in these times, but I do wish more of them would let go of the "experts know best" framing. I'm aware it's safe, palatable, sellable, but there's a century of "experts" torturing, converting, and sexually abusing trans people. So.
Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane
This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster
Israeli map showing all of southern Lebanon in red with yellow arrows pointing to north of the Litani river
The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.
They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.
The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.
The entire anti-trans care grift is built in treating the usual way medicine works as if it's a scandal.
Therapists figure out if a kid is trans the same way they figure out if they're depressed. They ask questions, maybe using a formal scale to quantify how kids compare to similar kids.
If my girl @lillywachowski.bsky.social is steering something, you can bet it has the goods. Now, more than ever, we need a cinema by and for the queers.
i think most rational, well-informed people of any current or former gender can agree saving young men from their stupidest and most harmful young male impulses is the oldest and most important reason for society to exist at all
In Defense of Effeminate Boys If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel
No one before Ben has ever considered that trans women might actually be effeminate gay boys. No one has ever suggested such a thing to us, repeatedly, in a bid to prevent us from transitioning, or developed entire typologies around the idea, or reinforced it in multiple academic fields!
if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately
Afghanistan started at 92 percent approval. Iraq started at 71. Iran started at 27. The "whose side are you on" rhetoric is identical. The country underneath it isn't. I wrote about how the framework works, and who's deploying it. www.readtpa.com/p/with-us-or...
