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” 😑

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

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 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

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.

👀 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 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

#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.

#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...

Departments reveal how many diversity and inclusion roles exist

The Coalition’s vow to slash diversity and inclusion roles in the public service will only deliver it a sliver of savings in its quest to cut thousands of jobs.

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...
