I love poppy season! The poppies in the images are not opium poppies. But as a symbol, they are an important part of medical history. They are flowers of liberation from pain and suffering.

Something I dislike in the political environment in Australia is the adoption of Trumpism rhetoric of calling each other âweakâ. This is ableist and offensive, as it implies that a physically disabled person is incapable of being a leader. Enforcing stereotypes. This should be called out.

I just watched a 30min video on "Broicism" (Bro-Stoicism). Anyway, this video was advocating for semen retention, apparently not letting "go" results in enlightenment. That might explain why caged gays are pretending to be Buddha. Seriously, this stuff is rooted is misogyny, it's disturbing.

Australia has banned teens from social media, Queensland (Australia) has introduced "adult crime, adult time" laws. This means children as young as 10 y.o. punished as adults. The idea that a teenager is banned from social media, but can be sent to an adult prison is antithetical and unethical.

My writing for the day, did you know the Thiasus was protected by law? It was one of the few times women were allowed to travel freely in antiquity.
