The Sunday Shot is live right now - worthy of a watch for far more balanced analysis of #auspol www.youtube.com/live/LxbWO1I...

Well the steam is gathering about how risky it is for detractors of Trump to travel to the U.S. My wife: “Trump won’t want you there given how vocal you are about him.” Me: “I’ll be right” Wife: “you’re fucked” 😑

To expand one’s #CriticalThinking skills, one should watch @theshot.net.au with @instanterudite.bsky.social & @davemilbo.bsky.social #auspol www.youtube.com/live/bIpLPbs...

When your political popularity is tanking, you do these things: 1. Talk about crime 2. Elicit the sympathy vote 3. Start a war 🤷‍♀️

Cindy Gallop posted this on LinkedIn. Am I justified in being leery of traveling to the USA this year given the work I do, and my stance on Trumpty Dumptys politics? Or is this Jenny penny territory? www.linkedin.com/posts/cindyg...

Watching Tanya Pliberseck on ABC this morning - wishing that bloody factional deals hadn’t kept her out of the leadership of the parliamentary ALP. She is so impressive. #auspol

Quality Sunday morning #auspol viewing courtesy of @theshot.net.au - all women panel. @instanterudite.bsky.social @sudharmapala.bsky.social Jess Hill @angelapriestley.bsky.social

Trumpty Dumpty starting a war to cement his popularity as a strong man. Putin much? 🤷‍♀️

Hey, are we ever gonna have sprawling coverage about this president's mental state too? Or was that just reserved for the guy who wasn't breaking the economy?

If you're in Wisconsin, please know that Judge Susan Crawford will protect YOUR rights and freedoms. Find your polling place and make a plan to vote tomorrow: vote.wisdems.org

Crumbs! Episode 3 of an SBS doco shines a light on “mother’s little helper” being routinely prescribed to women in the 1970s. Chemical restraints to keep women in line. Gahhhh thanks #patriarchy (not) Australia: An Unofficial History www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-...

I’ve watched episodes 1 & 2 of the SBS series “Australia: An Unofficial History” - 5 ⭐️ highly recommend watching. Australia: An Unofficial History streaming now on SBS On Demand www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-...

I wrote to my federal member, Adam Bandt, on 3rd March asking about his commitment to #GenderEquality & #WomensRights on 3/3/25. Am yet to receive a response. He’s too busy making TikToks. 🙄 Really hoping for a viable alternate candidate to vote for in the seat of Melbourne. ☹️ #auspol

It’s quite telling that James Patterson the LNP “Campaign Spokesperson” is doing all the media engagements for the opposition. Just shows that even the LNP know how unappealing Dutton is. #auspol

Complete undisciplined brain fade then North. 🤦‍♀️ #AFLCrowsRoos

I haven’t felt this relaxed watching a Q4 played by @nmfcofficial.bsky.social men’s team for a long time! Go North! 💙🤍💙🤍 #AFL

It’s been a big 10 Days! #Perth #Adelaide #WomenInSport

“The Coalition has failed to increase its proportion of female candidates for the House of Representatives ahead of the federal election due by May, despite a party review blaming men’s dominance of the Liberal and National parties for contributing to the Morrison government’s 2022 loss.” #auspol

Late to the party - a time zone change got me - COME ON YOU ROOS! #AFLDogsRoos

Men get anesthetic for contraception—women get told to grit their teeth. Equality called; it wants its anesthetic back. open.substack.com/pub/michelle... #GenderPainGap #MedicalMisogyny

Them: Can you make the men in the audience feel comfortable please Michelle. Me: 😑

1. This is a highly mischievous and inaccurate headline from The Australian Financial Review. People DO work from all sorts of places. #DoBetter #CriticalThinking #Auspol

On the Triple M Australia Issue: 🧵 1. Women are fed up to the back teeth because we’ve put up with the shitty behaviour exhibited by the Triple M presenter & worse their entire life. But here’s the thing, we women will cop shit from men for being “over the top” in our reactions.

Boo hoo!

John Lithgow reads his masterpiece Trumpty Dumpty. Chefs kiss. youtu.be/5D0KDM8eM6c?...

Newsflash: I am not a girl. I am a woman. A fully grown, battle-tested, wisdom-wielding, world-changing woman. So, for the love of The Goddess, can we all agree to retire the infantilising, vomit-inducing trend of calling grown-arse women “girlies”? open.substack.com/pub/michelle...

👀 Zero Day - Netflix. I didn’t need reminding its a work of fiction when I saw a Black Woman as US President. On a related note, I reckon the Dems need a major celebrity (not De Niro) to run against 47 in ‘28. It sounds fatuous, but time to fight fire with fire & give the sheeple what they want.

I’m feeling liberated - watching @theshot.net.au instead of the other one that has been my Sunday morning #auspol ritual for years. Bonus points with @janecaro.bsky.social sharing her wisdom today.

This is your semi regular reminder to maintain the rage, think critically and use your voting privilege wisely in 2025. #FuckMurdoch #FuckElmo #CriticalThinking #auspol

I’m watching Tulsa King and having a joyful (albeit futile) time gaslighting the men during their regular emotive outbursts: “Don’t be so emotional” “Calm down love” “Be patient, your turn will come” “Let’s dial down the aggression here” “Is it that time of the month?” “Gee you’re hard work” 🤪

Instead of maintaining the (fairly paltry) player payments for women athletes, Port Melbourne FC will spend “the money creating a professional environment.” A full review of the boards effectiveness would be a good professional start. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02... #AFL #WomenInSport

#Wordle 1,344 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 When the starting word you’ve used since Wordle started finally pays off!! 🤪🤣

If you want great analysis of just how inane the Trusk DOGE strategy is, then listen to @mattbevan.bsky.social on this episode of If You’re Listening. Then apply the same #CriticalThinkung to the LNP mission. #auspol podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/i...

Come on AFL peeps, this platform is what Twitter used to be, more footy types should be embracing it. Please help spread the gospel.

From time to time, I get my hair cut at the barbers. The chair is awesome! So comfy. But riddle me this. My barbers haircut & comfy chair costs ¼ -½ than at a woman’s salon. WTF don’t (the more expensive) hair salons have comfier chairs like the barbers? #FirstWorldProblems

#BookSky woman author recommendation. I’m reaching the end of “Unfinished Business” by Shankari Chandran. Taut, tense and I keep thinking all the ingredients for a blockbuster TV series. Shankari is a skilled writer, I’ve loved the 3 of her books I’ve now read.

Thank you #Auspol I muted David Speers on #Insiders (can I do that IRL?) and headed over to The Shot - wowsers so enjoyable! www.facebook.com/share/v/12GW...

#auspol I’ve decided I’d like to help the women in my Women Who Get It feminist community to vote with their eyes wide open in 2025. So I’ve created an email template to ask candidates for the federal election about the stance on #WomensRights & #GenderEquality. DM me if you want it.

🧵 I wrote (when I was annoyed, which is typically when I write) about how the term “male ally” grinds my gears. Why? Because it’s all I hear as a suggestion for closing the gender gaps in the workplaces I consult to. “We need more male ally’s”

Meanwhile in the 1950s, the LNP is unoriginal but fucking dangerous. In a “let’s do the next bit in the Trump playbook” the LNP says it is “identifying “waste” in the public service, singling out DEI as a focus.” Senator Price is a classic #CrumbMaiden #auspol www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

How does the patriarchy co-opt & infiltrate women’s psyche? This thread 👇🏻

It’s time to move on from the liberal dream where MAGA realizes that this all hurts them too and the result is some kind of productive pushback. This admin is dismantling and discarding every limiting mechanism of government. Political constituency was a means. They are not seeking re-election.

Just went to see Becoming Led Zeppelin. Brilliant to learn the backstory of a group that I became a fan of later in life (let’s face it, I was a baby in the 60s!) They were hard workers & Jimmy Page is visionary & a guitar virtuoso. It covers thru to 1970, so you won’t hear “Stairway”. Sequel?

In any relationship, if there’s no #respect, it’s hard to build anything else. Australian citizens respect towards First Nations People through a Welcome to/Acknowledgement of Country has been accepted practice for ages. Where does your elected rep stand? #auspol www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

We're so happy to be joining Bluesky! Stay tuned to hear all about our latest research, news, events, podcasts and more!

I’ve entered that stage of my life when I have ZERO clue who most of the artists are in the Superbowl halftime show. 😳 Or most of the musical artists in the music charts. I am however, still in love with music from the best decade - the 1980s!

Recommendations pls. Fiction books by #WomenAuthors, crime, political, spy thrillers, Australian author a bonus. Your reward? My unending gratitude 🙏🏻
