Cal @aucal.bsky.social · 01/08/2026This. The terms "military age" or "fighting age" are seldom, if ever, used to describe young men with white skin. All a part of the fascists' "invasion" rhetoric. Message being pushed is that 'they' are violent, 'we' are not. The language used is part of how racism like that is normalised. 000

Cal @aucal.bsky.social · 18/11/2025Just stood there crying like a baby for a while. One of the greatest endings to a game of football I've ever seen.

Cal @aucal.bsky.social · 12/11/2025Exactly this. It shouldn't be the responsibility of part-time lower eague sides to bear the brunt of Premiership teams inability to develop their own players.

Cal @aucal.bsky.social · 14/09/2025Disappointing to see how commonplace the use of phrases like "fighting aged males" has become.
