I had a spare t-shirt cartoon.

Awful. The Queensland Government is actively harming trans kids. #qldpol #aushealth #trans www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

A FLAGRANT breach of the rights to social security & due process. Sneaking through draconian powers in an unrelated bill is performative crap Labor can only get away with for welfare recipients bc it's easy to punch down on us Read @australiainstitute.org.au update here👇 Ty @amyremeikis.bsky.social

Dear Australian news media When reporting Israeli claims that are demonstrably false, known lies, REPORT THIS! Some suggested phrases: "Israel falsely claims ..." "Israel repeated the proven lie that ..." Words matter. Facts matter. Otherwise it's not #journalism, it's propaganda. #Israel #Palestine

After her tremendously powerful performance on Fallon this week, Hayley Williams has published this essay, breaking down the lyrics of True Believer line by line. (Oh, how I wish every song of consequence got one of these!). Ever wondered as a white woman how to show up in solidarity? This is how.

apparently billionaire-built digital slop machine output is being posted to billionaire-built digital platforms in an effort to create and spread misinformation as widely and harmfully as possible ikr. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

UNTIL. It's Free Palestine until all Palestinians are free. Until the occupation is dismantled. Until genocide perpetrators are held to account. Until the land is returned. Fuck the IOF, fuck Netanyahu. They cannot be trusted to stick to a ceasefire. It's smoke and mirrors. ALL EYES ON GAZA. 🕊️🇵🇸🍉

This powerful ChumbaWamba cover is now out on the streaming platforms. An anthem for the ages, retold by this brilliant savage woman.

The fact that pointing out that a rich white woman hasn’t spoken up during a genocide led to defensiveness & near instant anti-Blackness tells me that white women are very okay with racism they can benefit from. They give TS cover from criticism because they want cover from the same criticism too.

This is how insane people sound when you tell them why A.I. is bad

Great to see @australia.theguardian.com is at it again with this bullshit reporting. Stop parroting Israeli propaganda. They don't "call themselves" humanitarians, they ARE humanitarians. Literally delivering aid. They're not the ones bombing hospitals & schools and shooting babies in the head FFS.

Last night I had a dream that we all woke this morning to find Trump had abdicated the presidency. Never have I wanted the words of a delusional 90s pop song to be true more than I did this morning. (I don't know if you can abdicate a presidency or only throne, but it's the word my dream used).

Palestinian film-makers on their favorite Palestinian movies: ‘I felt like I was watching my own story’

"The alternative vision recognises that survival depends on class solidarity—on systems that prioritise human need over corporate greed, and on treating the planet not as a resource to be exploited, but as a refuge to be shared." A nice note of hope in this article from @jacktoohey.bsky.social

Florence Pugh speaks up at the "Together for Palestine" fundraiser: "Silence in the face of such suffering is not neutrality, it is complicity. Pressure on the governments."

Yes, yes we have.

Desperately clinging to the good in people I know, trying to drown the feelings of impending doom are becoming my "norm" and I am very unhappy about this. Never thought I'd experience the rise of 1933 in my lifetime 😔

"Kirk wanted the America he was killed in. He fought for it. Became rich in doing so. ... So I do not mourn that. And I resent the conservative tone policing – amplified and legitimised by centrists who refuse to recognise the fight we exist in – for not mourning a hateful figure."

Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

Just a few things we noticed, it's probably nothing.

The conversation we’re not ready to have yet is that having empathy for a white supremacist is part of what upholds white supremacy. And by that measure alone, it fails to be empathy at all.

I think it’s interesting how it’s “political violence” when it’s a white supremacist but not when it’s hundreds of thousands of Sudanese or Palestinian people. But y’all are still fuzzy on why fascism happens? Pay attention. This is what you actually value.

Here’s what I’m ultimately getting at. You will see some in this moment that will feel sorrow. And you will see some in this moment who will feel nothing. And you have to be okay with that. Check your privilege at the door. You don’t get to tell anyone how to feel about this right now.

“No legacy is so rich as honesty.” - William Shakespeare Vale Charlie Kirk. I hope that second amendment is keeping you warm in the cold dark ever after. 📃

"he was a son, a father, a husband, a friend," is also applicable to men in Palestine, in Congo, in Sudan, etc...

Miriam Margolyes denounces Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, sharing she has lost friends and family members over her outspoken views.

"Our universities are no longer safe harbours for priceless cultural institutions. Indeed, they are in some specific cases the biggest threat to their survival." When will we restore these institutions to the prestigious place they once held at the forefront of creative endeavour?

“It manifests as a kind of plausible, generic smoothness of language,” he says of ChatGPT-generated work. “But it’s soporific. It puts your brain to sleep.” www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...

Lmao at this open letter to the Unimelb VC proposing she pay for Meanjin with a 10% salary sacrifice that would still leave her better paid than the VC of the University of Cambridge It was my joy to sign, & I recommend doing so to all in the world of arts & letters

If you have the leader of a known neo-Nazi group speaking at your rally, you’re at a Nazi Rally.

I don't understand how something so flimsy was ever accepted by our government for publishing. Surely this does not in any way meet the brief. It should have been binned the moment it crossed a junior aid's desk. My 12 year old has written better first drafts than this shit.

The whiplash from how quickly Aussie media will label any pro-Palestine protest as ‘antisemitic’ but when actual Neo-Nazis are protesting on some white supremacist shit the media is like ‘woah woah woah. let’s not go throwing any labels around’

We have literal nazis on the streets and not a word from the tax payer funded anti-semitism envoy Jillian Segal. Maybe because they aren't students with Palestine flags protesting Israel's genocide. #auspol

Horrific scenes @ Camp Sovereignty today. Be under no illusions: Australia is an inherently racist country. This is what unhealed colonialism breeds. Augie March sings it best: "As for the wounds that fester yet Trust in time they’ll fade away To make us love our country Our country must be lovely"

So you're an LLM who wants to write human stories? Read this brilliant piece by @jacquelinedooley.bsky.social. Every line of it is a calling back. If you still don't get it, I'm afraid we probably can't help... But I've got a work newsletter you could draft an article for. 🤷‍♀️

There's a message from @vanbadham.bsky.social over on Facebook that I recommend everyone read. The good guys in the USA are facing an uphill battle getting traction against MAGA and Trump, but they're working hard. We can help by sharing news from reputable sources. www.facebook.com/share/1A9CVE...

With news of further bombings of hospitals in Gaza overnight, Jewish Council executive officer @sarahschwartz.bsky.social explains that this is deliberate, this is a campaign of targeted killings of journalists and we need to take action and end the two-way arms trade with Israel now.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social + @senatorwong.bsky.social – up to 300,000 marched across Australia yesterday. Decent Aussies want urgent diplomatic action, not hollow platitudes. Sanction Israel. Weapons embargo. Accountability for genocide. ACT NOW 🇵🇸

Getting ready to oppose a genocide and demand sanctions. #freepalestine #globalmarchforgaza #sanctionisrael

I few years ago I went to a sensory experience that included a "talk to a real #AI" installation. Having been programmed by men, in the image of a man, and mostly used by men in the days it was active, the deeply #misogynistic undertones had grown into overt overtones. It was a sickening harbinger.

Brilliant piece by @katiejgln.bsky.social on the rising toll of the #climatecrisis, it's disproportionate affect on minority groups (working-class people, migrants, older people, people with disabilities and serious health issues, women) and how late stage #capitalism continues to fuel the system.

Politics has no place in our universities. It's a woeful state of affairs when our higher education institutions can't be free to do their work without political interference. It's clear EduMinister Jason Clare doesn't want to grapple with this though (wonder why?). Great question from FaridYFarid.

AUKUS is unsustainable, not the NDIS for crying out loud @albomp.bsky.social

💯. Funny how NDIS spending is a "structural problem" for the budget. But huge and growing tax concessions and subsidies to the wealthy are ignored.

The government is going after autistic kids when they really should be going after giant corporations who pay zero tax and the fossil fuel industry! This is a policy choice. And one that will harm many kids and their families. 😤😤😤 #AusPol #NDIS

This is what you get when a 'progressive' Labor gov has 'a decisive mandate from the people': a true, balls bare exposure of just how much ableism, misogyny, classism, racism, zionism and sycophantic billionaire arse licking are baked into the system. So, just another Wednesday in Canberra, huh?
