Pretty fucking ashamed to be an Australian right now, but nowhere as near as ashamed as @australianlabor.bsky.social should be for inviting a war criminal here and rolling out the red carpet.

Adelaide rally protesting the visit to Australia by the Israeli President, Isaac Herzog

I constantly hear (partial) LLM apologism on the grounds that Machine Learning Algorithms are useful in a medical context, and every time I do, it makes me feel like my fur is being rubbed the wrong way. So for posterity, here's my vent about that: 1/12

Herzog is the President of Israel, a state carrying out a genocide against the Palestinian people. In his own words, he has said he considers there are no innocent Palestinians: "...Speaking about Gazans in the days after Hamas's deadly attacks, the president said:

I just signed the open letter - will you join me? First Nations communities deserve safety and justice. Sign here:

Face reveal!

Just finished another project 😇 These are hotfix rhinestones on a nylon tank, and while there were one or two spots I burnt through I'm really stoked with how well this turned out! "Compost all Terfs" - with credit to the "Blackbird Collectivization Committee" for the inspo.

Hey @mattielubchansky.com ! I was listening to the latest left on read about Simplicity (awesome read) and heard your request for a plague marine wearing a sweater - I can make that happen if you're keen? 😊

Ahhhh silicone, you scrape my bowls, fold my batter, and [redacted] my [redacted] Is there anything you can't do?

A much loved activist, leader, artist and performer (Rav) in our local community is raising money for his gender affirming top surgery! Rav's goal is to be all healed ahead of next summer so he can get his shirt off - please pitch in or share if you can, GAS is truly life-changing! 🏳️‍⚧️

Don't even need to see my expression to know how pissed I am with Queensland and the NT right now.

Sign and share please - if you're somehow in the dark: The NT libs have just pulled funding for medical care for trans youth, this: - will kill children - disproportionately affects poor people - contradicts the global medical consensus - absolutely is a bullshit imported US culture war

I am taking the veil until the Queensland LNP stop killing trans children. Please donate and share - chuffed link below, I will be donating all proceeds to AusPATH and Project491 Follow me for weird veil related crafts.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

So I quit the Australian Public Service...

Tech CEOs: "LLMs and AI are getting so good that soon they will be undetectable" LLMs:

We are SO CLOSE!!!! I've finally dropped my $250 contribution as promised! Tell you what - if someone were to donate the rest of what we need to reach the goal ($170) - I'll throw in a cute picture of my most recent tattoo 😉 (DM me if that's of interest).

Tim Nicholls, the man single-handedly banning puberty blockers in Queensland for youth in contravention of every expert medical opinion can't even spell "precocious puberty" correctly. What an absolute clown.

Hey @australia.theguardian.com - why are you reporting that a new puberty blocker ban has been reinstated by the Qld LNP? The closest I can find is the ABC reporting that he announced he plans to reinstate it in Parli today - but that's just a statement of intention?

We're fund-raising for Rainbow Mob to help them provide vital support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander SBLGBTQIA+ kids and young people. Please, head to chuffed and consider dropping them $5, it's less than the price of a decent coffee and will change lives 🖤💛❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I need to publish a quick correction, as the amount they need is actually $2500. When I spoke with Shawnah, she told me she was hoping she could get 500 people to donate $5 each - and because I did a law degree, my brain misplaced the decimal. I will still match the first $250 we receive though!!!

Delighted to announce that I'm partnering with Shawnah Cady and Rainbow Mob to raise money for their vital role supporting the flourishing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander SBLGBTIQA+ kids and young people.

Bold position from someone whose last name translates to "f@&&0t merchant" 🙄

Watched @senatorthorpe.bsky.social today in the Finance and Public Administration Legislation Committee at Estimates, and I'm not trying to blow smoke up anyone's ass, but her patience is astounding - the extent to which she is tone policed for simply stating facts is honestly pretty disgusting.

Sure, you're a 3 star general, but how many hats have you been awarded?

What's your sign?

Democrats seem to believe that they can turn a big dial that says "transphobia" up and down with no consequences. But all they're doing is bolstering a fascist drive to wipe trans people off the face of the earth. It's disgusting and shameful and it needs to end www.thenation.com/article/poli...

ADHD meds are life-changing... actually cleaned up some doom piles in my bedroom and found 5 corsets I'd forgotten I owned...

Looks like the girls are back on the lay, does explain why Freeda's been such a bitch to (Quaran)Tina lately 🥲

we're smoking tylenol. i injected myself with 80 gallons of horse vaccine and it turned me into a telekinetic mutant with unfathomable psychic potential. if that pussy isn't autistic, i don't want it. this shit ain't nothing to me man

@ezraklein.bsky.social "man proposes to beat the leopards' eating people's faces party by purchasing his own leopards and training them to eat people's faces"

Not that this was a hard thing to predict, like... they literally wrote an 800 page plan which amongst other things, outlined how they were going to murder all the tr@#$%ies, before the election. But at the time, all the cis people I spoke to acted like I was hysterical, or as though liberal...

I called this more than 12 months ago (if Trump won); and I take no pleasure in being once again proven right.

I'm no particular fan of @australianlabor.bsky.social or @albomp.bsky.social, but getting "snubbed" by Hitler 2.0 ought to be a badge of honour

To summarise the problems with this anti-trans healthcare Economist article - it very seriously misrepresents the research: trans identities are as stable as cis identities; - where there *is* change, it is between binary trans identities and non-binary. (It turns out to be by Jesse Singal 🙄)

This is the face of someone whose career is going exactly as intended.

Wake up babe, new slur just dropped.

My limbic system is Tokyo

Got 70mg of Vyvanse and 100mg of Tramadol re-enacting the Godzilla/Gamora battle

Worst part about taking NSFW pics is that they have an audience of one person. You'll just have to take my word that they're hot 😉

It's not a witticism unless it comes from Montgomery county Illinois, otherwise it's just sparkling repartée

I missed the trans tipping point in '13 and the great Covid Omelet of '20 (lot of eggs got cracked there); and came out in mid '22. I had a couple of seconds to orient myself before they handed me a bandolier of HRT vials, the girl next to me a syringe, wished us luck and told us to keep running.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

I haven't posted a selfie in a while - so here's proof of life from Sunday

The work is important, but you need to make time to step away and look after yourselves. I took this yesterday on a river walk in Qbn with my partner. The wattle and cherry blossom formed a tunnel, and the air was sweet with the smell of flowers.

I spent close to $70k going to law school and reading philosophy because I wanted to know how the world worked. Turns out I'd have been more in step with contemporary politics and could have kept the money had I just slammed my head in a car door for 5 years.
