Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

Six internationally recognised marine scientists who are researching South Australia's toxic algal bloom are set to lose their jobs at Flinders University, the ABC understands. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Sparta was an authoritarian state that suppressed all forms of cultural and political expression in order to brainwash its citizens into a life dedicated to war. Every year they carried out a murderous campaign against their slave population, the Helots, to keep them in place.

Oh cool, the person who conducted the study that Butler referenced has already said their study doesn’t find causation, great job to the health minister and abc news for not mentioning that

There is no journalistic defence to this, there is no need to rush out potentially harmful information without even bothering to google if it’s true This is how misinformation and disinformation spreads, and we know fact checking after it doesn’t do much to stop the spread

Life in the fast lane.

'Random Nazi hates the coloured folks' is what Auntie considers newsworthy these days? Must be embarrassing to work there.

lmao nazis just tripping over themselves to out themselves as nazis and the ABC happy to give them a soft launch.

The Australian medical system is multi-tier - worst for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, shithouse in rural and regional areas, hundreds of thousands of people unable to get prompt treatment, surgery and best-practice scans & diagnostics on Medicare- oh and it's great if you're rich.

Apropos of nothing...

Even if you believe electoralism is the only path to change, this is just wrong mathematically and politically. Donald Trump did not win half the electorate—he won just over half of the *64%* of the electorate who turned out in spite of systemic voter suppression.

“I can confirm we are seeing single gunshot wounds to the head, neck, and chest.” “Just 2 days ago, we lost 6 children under the age of 12 to single shots to the head.” “This is worse than anything I have ever witnessed.” —American doctor Kathleen Gallagher speaking from Gaza

Flinders University has abolished the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Another destructive restructure is about to happen.

It can be hard to know how to help people in Gaza, but here is one way. You can also check out the registration page for Australian based charities to be sure your dollars are going where you want them to.

these videos of the Australian doctors in Gaza have been going viral. They are volunteers with PANZMA (Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association) If you can help by donating that would be great You can find the link to donate here panzma.org

They know that when the dead are brown or poor, but they find this Byzantine moral code when it’s a rich reactionary.

You don't have to mourn people who despised you and wanted terrible things to happen to you. Hard to believe that this needs to be said but apparently it does.

"You're irrelevant on Bluesky!" m8 I was irrelevant on Twitter where I had 110k followers and frequently got over a million views on my videos. It was still just shitposting on a social media site. Deciding that posting is activism has rotted a lot of brains on all sides.

There are two types of bathing:

Victorian pensioner Eddie Rushforth says he does not know whether his bowel cancer has returned because he cannot afford the cost of the scans.

This is like saying g “oh weird, I guess the GOP isn’t consistent on free speech.” That should be the foundational assumption about the authoritarian use of populism to manufacture consent: they have no principles other than destroying their enemies and holding onto power.

Congrats to Biden, the rest of the Democrats who supported the TikTok ban last year, and this guy specifically—they got what they wanted. Draconian censorship was necessary because the kids were pro-Palestine and struggling in Biden’s economy. And now—an even more concentrated media environment.

Beverly Baker from the Older Women's Network said that some pensioners and part-pensioners would go without basic care because their weekly income was so low. "A shower is essential hygienic care," she said. "To ask people to choose between that and food is really an obscenity."

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

72 hour suspension for a post about Prescott Bush's 1933 Business Plot and how absolutely none of the people involved were even prosecuted for it, let alone given the maximum sentence for it. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busines...

This is a ten minute video broken up into parts for Bluesky from two australian doctors who made it into Gaza. The video starts with them saying the baby formula they brought with them was taken away and that Israel bombing the hospital in front of them and lying about giving warnings

Somehow not the most insane term I’ve seen in a residential lease.

Still thinks asylum seekers are people from asylums

What a shock that all the journalists who for two years smugly said they wouldn’t call it a genocide unless the UN does, are still not calling it a genocide after the UN did

800 years of scholarly tradition chucked down the drain in favour of the literal stupidest bullshit in the world cos a couple billionaires opened their wallets.

so this white male who sent racist text messages instead of stopping to help after he killed one Aboriginal man and injured another - a man whose supposed remorse was accepted by the NT Supreme Court - he has a white step aunty who is also the NT Attorney General. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Google aiding Israel in putting activists lives in danger with this propaganda, justifying attacks on the flotilla.

Australias Beth Mooney has etched her name into the record books by smashing the joint second-fastest century in Womens ODIs. #womenn #cricket #INDvAUS

From today, JobSeeker will be indexed to $56.69 a day. That's 89 cents more - or what Labor calls "cost of living relief" 🫠 Claiming credit for an automatic inflation adjustment that keeps people in poverty tells you everything you need to know about the state of the ALP.

Irish rap group has been denied entry for their alleged support for Hamas and Hezbollah, accusations the group denies.

Irish writer Sally Rooney said she was advised not to enter the U.K. to receive a literary prize this week, for fear of arrest over her support for Palestine Action, which was banned under British terrorism laws.

"Under the guise of #AUKUS, Labor is inviting a major US military build-up on our shores. Far from keeping us safe, this escalates regional tensions with China, leading in turn to more US military build-up." @davidshoebridge.bsky.social #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09...

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

this is some austin powers shit

1/At Macquarie Uni we are losing 50% of our units in my faculty. This is on top of cuts in 2020. We estimate by next year my faculty will be teaching 80% fewer subjects than pre Covid. Disciplines being cut do not have declining enrolments. @jennaprice.bsky.social @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social

It's not your choice whether your protest is peaceful or not.
