And there it is. Actually insane given how overwhelming the evidence is in support of care for trans people.

Omg y’all everyone watch this queer short film starring Vic Michaelis and Ava Lalezarzadeh.
It’s achingly beautiful and was exactly what I needed right now to feel hope that we will always have community

Amongst all the other terrible news, there’s some pretty fucked anti-trans laws being passed in various US states.
Along with terf actions getting increasingly violent in the UK. Not a fun time to be gender diverse

Seems to be a type of online American military enthusiast that seems to view civilian casualties as par for the course but god forbid the US navy is dishonourable in killing an unarmed military unit.

To be clear, I think both are bad.

I don’t know if it’s just the internet I’m being exposed to but it feels like people are more mad about the Iranian sailors being killed than the school girls.

Appalling. Are we now legitimate military targets? What does the government say to the Iranian Australians living here and abroad. Shameful

Is Australia already involved in the US and Israel's illegal war on Iran?

This morning, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that a US submarine sunk an Iranian ship in international waters off the coast of Sri Lanka.

Crazy how Israel and the US seem to have carte Blanche to commit war crimes and Australian outlets won’t even consider a shred of criticism. Our media so beholden to US interests

I like to imagine that once a day you and Greg go into a quiet chamber somewhere in the office and scream at the walls and then walk out and put on a smile

US invades Venezuela, threatens Greenland while ICE wreaks havoc The Trump administration’s imperial march is gathering pace.

After America is back (early, because everything is terrible, obviously). @angusrb.bsky.social and I talk Venezuela, Greenland, and imperial revival. With apologies for the distressing amount of Stephen Miller content.

Americans have the brains of medieval peasants when it comes to the state killing citizens. Half the country is so ready to start throwing tomatoes no matter the circumstances

Patel is so obviously a fan of Hong Kong cinema and action, Monkey Man has the best action choreography I’ve seen in a long while

Deeply troubled that the last bastion of hand wavers when you let someone drive down a narrow street are the guys in giant utes and yank tanks. What has our culture become smh
