I can personally vouch for these divine soaps!
Frustrating. I am getting zero reach on my soap FB page because apparently Meta wants everyone to pay for reach. ($87 a month for Business Plus!)

In other news, if you're in Australia, today is probably the last day I can guarantee delivery for Xmas.

I got up at 4.30. The dawn, while not as spectacular as some I've seen, was, nevertheless, pretty.

Well the age verification thing has appeared. But there is zero information on what is restricted. I'm just gonna see what happens if I do nothing.

Ok PB , under questioning from DS has just pulled out

“I disagree with the premise of your question”

FFS

DS is questioning PB and I’m here for it

Exposing PB for the incompetent, arrogant fool he is

We don’t want you working on these things because we want a fair and *transparent* investigation

How long do we have to wait to see justice for Robodebt?

Years on from the Robodebt Royal Commission, and still not one person responsible has been held to account.

Nationals MP, Andrew Willcox,
spent about 7 times more than the average Australian politician during the last term of parliament, primarily on Canberra travel for his wife. That MP is not even in government.

Let's tighten the rules. Or shut this topic down. #auspol

The currawongs and ravens were indignant when I managed to pick a kg of cherries before they could further decimate the tree 🤣 I don't net anything because we have microbats.

Pity the almond and plum trees have some kind of disease this year DAMMIT

Just to change direction from the narcissistic twat who thinks she's a victim...

Why are cars so fucking monochromatic?

I'd reckon 98% of the many cars I saw this morning were either white, grey or black.

Like WTAF?

As an ex automotive spray painter, I repeat .. what the actual fuck?

If we want to “let kids be kids”, and shield them from bullying, the pressure to conform, disinformation, and even potential sexual abuse, why we don’t we ban organised religion for anyone under 16?

Dead serious question

(5) Makes an expandable means for censorship available to those in power who want to use it. Project 2025 is clear - they want to block more than “adult” content. They’d block LGBTQ content, and atheist content, and political dissent. And they want to block it for adults, too. We can’t give an inch.

(4a) Removes access to critical medical and social information for vulnerable groups. In several states in the US, LGBTQ content is considered adult content and would be locked behind age verification. Info about sexual abuse is, too. Minors who NEED that info will be legally barred from getting it.

(3) Remove children’s access to SAFE adults on the Internet, leaving them with only “child-safe” areas (which exploitative adults will still enter), and legally non-compliant portions of the Internet (where exploitative adults will be congregating, and safe adults would theoretically avoid).

Privacy-violating practices to “protect minors” like age verification:

(1) Explicitly connect vulnerable adults’ identities to their online activity, putting them at risk of leaks and harassment

(2) Move “undesirable” behavior to under-moderated environments that are less safe for people to access

Fuck social media. Fuck right wing governments. Fuck this shit.

I'm thinking of putting together a book entitled:

Aging Without Care - A Guide To Surviving Until Death

Because we all know the government doesn't give a shit about us and wants us all dead.

Hit me with contributions.
