According to Sen. Jordon Steele-John's instagram post, there have been 4500+ submissions made to the #ndis Bill Senate Inquiry. They gave us 2 weeks. 4500 is more than the NDIS Review had. What a phenomenal effort to everyone who got involved in this fight. @bluntshovels.bsky.social

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

Satirical cartoon of Anthony Albanese sweating over two buttons: one to cut 160,000 people from the NDIS, the other to properly tax gas profits. The image highlights the tension between reducing disability support and under-taxing resource companies.

People who push for means testing of public services might as well get ready for those services to be reduced to such a point that they are regarded as "safety net" minimal services.

Fascism is fundamentally based on disregard for bodily autonomy and consent, which is why fascism is so hospitable to pedophiles, rapists, and transphobes.

No Games For Genocide @nogamesforgenocide.com · 02/12/2025
SIGN OUR BOYCOTT XBOX PLEDGE: We are asking gamers, game workers, streamers & journalists to join us in boycotting & divesting from Xbox, to force Microsoft to end its complicity in the genocide of Palestinians. We’ve provided concrete actions everyone can take. Sign here: nogamesforgenocide.com
A graphic which uses the colours of the Palestinian flag: white, black, red and green. Text at the top reads “No games for genocide”, and text at the bottom reads “Boycott Xbox, Sign the pledge”, with the website nogamesforgenocide.com below. In the middle of the graphic is an icon of a fist punching upwards, splitting a missile in half. One half of the broken missile has the Xbox logo on it, and the other half has the Microsoft logo on it.

Nobody can explain how Australians peacefully marching against Israel’s genocide could cause anyone to commit such shocking acts of violence, so it would be nice, & not undermine police investigations, if politicians, the antisemitism envoy & the dreaded media stopped lying.

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.
Minimalist white poster with a subtle crumpled-paper texture; small ‘whn.global’ logo centered at the top. A small intro line sits above a huge headline where ‘COVID’ is bright red and ‘is different.’ is black.
Text: ‘Paraphrased from David Brasure’s WHN blog post, “COVID Is Different.” Read the full article at whn.global/covid-is-different.
COVID is different.
SARS-CoV-2 behaves differently from the viruses most of us grew up with. And treating it like “another flu” is costing people their health.’
Footer: The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.Same white, paper-texture poster and top ‘whn.global’ logo. Large title reads ‘What makes COVID different?’ with ‘COVID’ in red, followed by a bulleted list.
Text: ‘Paraphrased from David Brasure’s WHN blog post, “COVID Is Different.” Read the full article at whn.global/covid-is-different.
What makes COVID different?
• It can breach the blood–brain barrier
• It can damage your endothelial lining and increase clot risk
• It can persist in tissues
• It can lower key immune cells
• It may increase cancer risk
• You can catch it multiple times per year
These are not “normal cold virus” behaviors.’
Footer line about the World Health Network.Same clean white poster with paper texture; ‘whn.global’ at top. Big statement line mid-page where ‘Long COVID’ appears in red and the rest in black; two short paragraphs below.
Text: ‘Paraphrased from David Brasure’s WHN blog post, “COVID Is Different.” Read the full article at whn.global/covid-is-different.
Long COVID is caused by SARS-CoV-2.
Persistent symptoms come from real, documented damage. Not anxiety, not imagination, not “just needing rest.” Hundreds of thousands of studies show SARS-CoV-2 affects the body in ways we’re still uncovering.
Just because you’ve had multiple infections and “felt fine” doesn’t mean it will stay that way.’
Footer line about the World Health Network.Same minimalist white, paper-texture layout with ‘whn.global’ at top. A large heading ‘Here’s what you can do.’ sits above a simple bullet list; the final URL slug ‘covid-is-different’ is in red.
Text: ‘Paraphrased from David Brasure’s WHN blog post, “COVID Is Different.” Read the full article at whn.global/covid-is-different.
Here’s what you can do.
• Improve air quality (filters, ventilation)
• Wear a high-filtration mask in shared indoor air
• Test when exposed or symptomatic
• Stay home when sick
• Use layered protections with friends, family, and workplaces

Politicians love to talk about "kids safety" until you ask them to do something that would actually keep kids safe like fund housing, healthcare, education, outdoor spaces, arts programs, etc. That's because most of them use "safety" as a euphemism for surveillance, control and domination.

I’m used to bad opinions coming from people not on the NDIS, but when they come from people who are it really makes me fucking furious. Stop throwing disabled children under the bus. What the fuck is wrong with you.
