4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.

In case anyone wonders how The Discourse ™️ is going, I’m currently watching a YouTube video entitled “what a week as a Hobbit taught me about capitalism”.

The YouTube film recap accounts often use text to speech for their videos. Hilariously, this means the Predator: Badlands recaps are based on a Yorkshire fighting for his life and not a Yuatja.

The report found that about 68,500 people annually require sexual assault support services in Australia but about 23,000 are left with unmet support needs.
The funding shortfall for support services is $80 million - or 0.02% of the $368 billion the Commonwealth gov is spending on 11 submarines

Sexual violence costs Australia almost $2b annually
The WA-led research is a national-first to quantify the economic costs of sexual abuse on children and adults and showed fiscal burden was exacerbated by a ‘chronically underfunded’ support sector.
