apparently cops being kept in and trans ppl being kept out wasnt enough for them not even giving cops weapons capable of mass murder, at an event born during horrific police mass violence towards queers, that's not enough outright excluding a group critical of a genocide.

pffft they didnt foil shit if the device hadn't failed to detonate as intended, mass deaths would have occurred on their watch they didnt even realise a bomb had been thrown into a crowd right in front of them sitting there for nearly an hour before they evacuated people from the area

If this doesn't have accessibility options, it's not just useless, it's actively dangerous and harmful for me. I would be better off rooting and jailbreaking all devices that are going to be in this program to disable the audio component. this shit is bad.

not a fan of this being almost entirely bedbound, an in person GP appointment is extremely rare and unlikely to be possible, then relying entirely on telehealth psychology reducing accessibility for this is such an awful idea, we had to redo ours a few months ago and that outing destroyed me

definitely have some friends this applies to

being at the age where everyone you know is having children

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage. I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong. Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole. Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you... (Photos AP)

A "potentially catastrophic" decline in Australia's childhood vaccination rates has contributed to the sharpest increase in cases of whooping cough in 35 years, infectious diseases experts say.

I've been trying to share this photo all day and every time I sit down for a moment, I get distracted. But please admire this lovely spotty belly on Calliope.

Because of her behaviour (chaotic, energetic) we are not actually worried and suspect she is complaining about the move from rotisserie chicken to plain poached. So back to roast chicken for her. Look at how mad she was about her bath though.

I have procured rotisserie chicken and our precious princess is snacking again.

Air jail for a tiny pee criminal. But, she's eating beautifully again, and her poop was a tiny bit less awful today. Progress!

I've cherished every day together so far, and i look forward to many more in the future. More quality time together, more happy memories together, more things to do together. Feels like we are finally cresting the top of the hill, not having to fight to climb anymore. It'll be so much easier now.

Something totally unexpected could happen, or plans change to a better path, or there might be something that feels like a miracle. It's rubbed off on me so much even now I have so much hope for some kind of future, despite being sicker than ever before. The hope for a better life.

Recently she has been a glowing beacon of hope for me. Reminding me that even when things feel like there is no way forward, the most illogical unlikely thing could still happen and provide a way out at the last moment. And often she keeps being vindicated in that hope, that things will be ok.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone, but especially my lovely lovely partner @flarebeams.bsky.social We've only been together for 6 months but because of everything that's happened it's felt like a lifetime. I treasure every day I get to wake up and know she's by my side even when living apart.

Seven of my relatives were killed in Gaza. For me, Herzog’s visit was never an abstract debate | Shamikh Badra

ok cool so if you have rare complex needs the hospital is just totally ok with you dying in a way that is totally avoidable unfortunately this lines up with my own experience. hospitals are horrendous at listening to carers and patients who have experience with the conditions they are mistreating

With the ink still wet on a new hospital deal, state and territory health ministers will today use a meeting with their federal counterpart to call for urgent action on stranded patients.

A study from Deakin University has found many young women admit skipping meals or forgoing medical attention to save money.

One of the artists, and her art! This scratch pad with balls was a big hit with the music kittens, even if they did chew the balls out. But now I've got a handy hole to throw treats into!

being in a relationship both having M.E. means an eye mask is so so so helpful we both have sleeping issues so it's pretty easy for one of us to sleep much earlier than the others just means one can sleep while the other watches stuff to exhaust themselves till sedatives kick in and work enough

#BREAKING 🚨 Aftab Malik, Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia, has released a statement condemning "unprovoked violence and aggression" from NSW Police against Muslims praying in Sydney's Town Hall Square "There cannot be any justification for this behaviour"

I am gonna be king of the pirates! For @thepirateweasel.bsky.social

stuff like this is a really good way to expand the accessible housing availability in the country we have no way to fund the ramp for this house because every single quote is tens of thousands to just get from the slab the house is built on to ground level so many others in the same situation

the standard internal procedures that changed as a result of this has had me fighting for years now knowing ill likely never live to see support because of the delays delays they seemingly know will lead to applicants passing in the process and reducing costs

‘Overwhelming sense of doom’: NDIS support cuts leave families in fear – and there are more to come

The focus of discussion around screen time is on teenagers and young adults, but young people say they are noticing older people are in the grips of their devices too.

This happened to my buddy Eric.

It's another chilly morning and so I have a jumper full of kittens. It's going to be 29C, so we will be managing the heat later, but right now everyone is a bit cold, despite a heating pad.

Australia's disability discrimination commissioner condemns "dangerous narratives" surrounding the deaths of teenage brothers Leon and Otis Clune, saying the burden of disability should never be a justification for family violence.

anyway i think this is the happiest I've been with a gunpla build ever even with me building the PG perfectability unicorn early on, and using the RGB kosmos LED set connected to my PC booting up, this beats it.

No the fuck they shouldn't, be better men you miserable cunts and maybe a woman will like you Your inability to develop social skills, emotional maturity or hobbies is not the fault of women!!!!

still can't get over how gorgeous this thing is it even being possible at all is wild fully integrated battery charging and control unit its essentially the perfect unicorn gundam build easy to handle, nothing stuck attached to it, wireless RGB control for each individual LED, and more durable

it's all too much

im tired of this

Question for @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social: when you changed the law of this country to permit police to request welfare payment cancellations on the basis of one article claiming Mr. Freeman received a disability pension, did you seek any information as to whether he was alive or not?

so fucking tired need to mentally rest for a few days try to get my body to reset and feel less panicked

We named the kittens. I wasn't going to name anyone - leaving that for their permanent foster carer, but after we lost Peach yesterday, it seemed unfair to not give them names. (There are captions)

little too close to home rn deciding at what point is the fight for care and against illness too much it's a lot
