cisnormativity and cisheterosexism is the "abnormality"

conservative women are almost always self-loathing patriarchal apologists and willing agents/perps of the ideology.

As a lesbian, I often wonder if heterosexual people holding these views are actually the ones who are intellectually, emotionally, and socially inferior, and it's merely projection.

That's INSANE. I haven't done the promo procedure yet (apart from moving institutions), so good to know the overkill I'm in for.

and now the USA has just voted to merge their military with the current Genocidal State. What impact does that have on Australia being dragged directly in, on so-called Australia's ability to remain independent, and not being merged in also (although, already complicit through materials)

Nothing about soccer inspires me. It's just match day deceit, manipulation, and grubbery, all wrapped up in systemic corruption.

Gonna say something we all already know: the push for ai is actually a push to both censor and surveil us, both on and offline. It's why it's in everything, everywhere, inescapable, and causing great harm so quickly. Nothing gets the masses moving *thoughtlessly* more than a personal attack.

Own goal, and an ABSOLUTE illegitimate, offside goal paid by refs. A scorecard 'win', perhaps, a legitimate win, no.

toxic shame is exactly what's in operation - it's what drives all perpetrators. The inability to see and face the hurt and shame carried, process it, and heal it so it can't be used to harm anyone else. Instead, they externalize and project it, weaponising it for an ounce of personal power.

so her fear of migrants and difference is all just, a) a theatrical performance of uninterrogated shame, b) grifting.

Alie, in the re-do coral episode on @ologies.bsky.social this week, your guest/you speak to "imposter syndrome" - can I point you (humble share, I promise) to this article, so perhaps we can change the narrative around what "imposter syndrome" ACTUALLY IS! 🍄💅🏽 archermagazine.com.au/2025/07/impo...

Impostor syndrome is a colonial, patriarchal construct: On mediocrity and white supremacy - Archer Magazine
Capitalism and the myth of meritocracy fuel impostor syndrome by insisting that individuals alone are responsible for our success or failure.

it was the ONLY place (in late 90s) that I could understand my feelings/experiences, see or communicate with other queer women, & finally feel clear & strong enough in myself to accept myself and live authentically.

noting that heavily armed police are not the answer to any social problem, let alone hate and violence. You can not shoot racism or transphobia. Police are themselves extremely violent so in fact <increase> violence wherever they go.

@ologies.bsky.social I love when people have professions aligned with their name! I know a Dr. Sist (Cyst) My dad's dentist was Dr. Nervo I know of a GP Dr. P. Nurse and my own family (Phelan, pronounced 'feelin') has a Nurse, a Chiropractor, a Musculoskeletal Practitioner!

yet the ALP continue to ruthlessly attack the left flank (Greens) and progressives. The right wing extremists are far more dangerous, yet I fear the ALP share a few values, orientations, and dare I say donors.

will be interesting at what stage of the outlawing that 'academics and scholars" (you know, actual experts who use scientific rigour as the basis of resistance, dissent, & opposition) are directly targeted by this. My vote is 'early' and 'often'. ALP ❤️ power & $$$, just as much as any other party.

If you saw the statements from the politicians last night, you would see they specifically stated "hate laws against anti-Semitism and combatting Islamic extremism". It tells you exactly EVERYTHING you need to know.

Can someone with professional knowledge explain what the amended Hate Speech laws are that passed last night, & how it will impact the critique & opposing of the genocidal nationalism. Does it apply the same to anti-Islamic, anti-Indigenous, anyi-LGBTIQA+, & anti-woman hate speech?

Malignant narcissism amplified by frontal lobe atrophy/necrosis created by whatever condition he has (ie. dementia) is truly a profound and persistent danger, which will lead to catastrophic consequences

what nobody mentions is the vested interest behind legislation such as this, the economic persuasions, & the quid pro quo that goes with it. As usual it's about political manoeuvres for power & proximity to it (inc. the indiv. social/financial benefits that come with it), rather than genuine change.

EXACTLY... it was a combo between misogyny + homophobia, which is a particular brand of violence deeply rooted in lesbophobia. Apparently the perp had a grindr account, which tracks - those most overt in their homophobia are actually rejecting their own orientations and projecting toxic shame.

reading some of the names on the TO, and being keenly aware of their publicly demonstrated fervent ideologies and political leanings, 'the decision' is deeply unsurprising and probably, in fact, expected of such orientations.

Coloniality has ensured that the people - & their wisdom - that cared for and brilliantly worked with Country, were ignored, excluded & oppressed. Capitalism has unapologetically elevated & ensured catastrophic climate change, which impacts us all in devastating ways. #VictorianFires #VicFires
