Today, on my 38th birthday, I received the greatest gift of all: I was asked for ID while buying a bottle of wine.

You can’t convince me that one of the reasons why you know who is beefing with the Pope isn’t because he heard about Jesus chasing the money lenders out of the temple and he identified with the money lenders.

My grandfather was born in 1924, and the man hated loud noises, had to do things in a specific way every day or else he would have a meltdown, and had an intense special interest in trains. Paracetamol became commonly used in the 1950s. EXPLAIN WHY I DESCEND FROM A RICH LINE OF AUTISTS.

I feel like true enlightenment as a Girl's Girl is looking at the sorority rush stuff as not being cringe, but instead thinking about how cool it would be to live in a woman-centred house for your undergrad. Yeah the girls.

I survived the 7/7 London bombings, but as a British Muslim I still grew up being called a terrorist
Four years on from the attacks on 9/11 - this was a time when, in the minds of many, Muslims were already associated with terrorism.

Childcare isn’t a personal failing or luxury—it’s a broken system built on undervaluing women’s labour. In this piece, I write about grief, rage, and why we need to fight for safer, fairer care for all children. open.substack.com/pub/catladya...

Really great to see The Age use the horrific childcare news to let a dingbat publish an op ed about why women just need to stay at home.

It is an obscenity that this has happened and continues to happen. Starvation as a weapon of war, and murdering people queueing for food! Obscene and savage, and continuing with the collusion of countries like the UK and US.

The top three stories on every news website in Australia are pure, unadulterated US propaganda, and all it took for Labor to cave to support Trump and Israel’s illegal war was one Hastie press conference. It’s all objectively worse than 2003. Very grim.
