Still blowing my mind that the person who earns royalties from the microtransactions in a Harry Potter themed slot machine app accused me of grifting for having a Patreon which doesn't cover the costs of hosting the sites it's for.

Despite billionaires accusing me of grifting, the Opium Tea / Terfipedia joint Patreon makes $8 a month and as a result opiumtea.com is currently offline with terfipedia.com likely to follow.

Patreon allows one-off donations now so please consider supporting or subscribing at patreon.com/terfipedia

Shoutout to one of my fave tweets ever of all time

Martin Leahy tweets:

“There was a bus going through Béal na Bláth once and the bus driver announced to the passengers, 'This is where Michael Collins died' and someone on the bus said 'Tis a bad bend alright'.”

Why does @albomp.bsky.social fear accountability? “since Labor came to power in May 2022 the rate of full FOI disclosures has slumped to historic lows – from 59 per cent of requests in 2011/12 to just 25 per cent in 2023/24”

Inside Albanese’s FOI reforms: ‘He hates transparency’

Labor’s reforms to freedom of information laws are opposed by every public submission made to the Senate, with the government’s record on secrecy worse than Scott Morrison’s.
