This week Peter Dutton suggested cutting school funding in an attempt to stop ‘wokeness’, but was unable to define what ‘woke’ means. If only there were publicly funded places people could go to learn things like the definitions of words.

People asking what radicalised us, as if millennials didn't grow up on a diet of 'Fern Gully' and 'Captain Planet!

My husband & I went for eye checks & the optometrist called him in first, even though he scheduled the appointments so l'd go first, & if you know anything about Luke you'll know this will make him feel guilty for at least a week so it’s an ideal time for me to bring the weirder renovations I'd like

What are the steps that were missed that led to Australia not normalising bidets, and how do we rectify this.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

stopping the flow of HIV drugs to poor countries and demanding that foreign doctors stop distributing the meds already sitting in their clinics is so evil it is hard to wrap my head around. one day when when this is all history i will struggle to forgive anyone who voted for him

Explaining to everyone (myself) that once again Costco are showing that they’re a more ethical employer and provider generally, so going there is both a little treat and a little community action that is quietly supporting resistance work in the states. Repeating this while eating Ben and Jerrys…

At a press avail, President Trump was asked about why he would ask NATO members to up their contribution to 5% of GDP when the US doesn't do that, and he said, "They're not protecting us, we're protecting them." The only time NATO invoked its mutual defense pact was after 9/11, to protect the US.

These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined. Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.

This clip by Zack is on the longer side but very worth watching til the end imo. It discusses steps you can take in your own space when it feels like hope is low and resistance is desperately needed. vt.tiktok.com/ZS6pxmmfC/ @daearanion.bsky.social
