Here I just use "following", "mutuals", and "popular with friends". That way I get everything filtered via the people I like 😌

Spending 40 seconds talking about people returning to Gaza with no food or shelter and a few aid trucks starting to distribute food, then spending 10+ minutes talking about a state of the art hospital in Petah Tikva and interviewing settlers isn't "balanced reporting".

"Centrelink payments are still hundreds of dollars a week below the poverty line. It’s no wonder poverty is rising. People can’t keep up when the basics are unaffordable and support has been frozen in real terms"

Critics say Labor government has failed to raise payments and help alleviate poverty

Kristin O’Connell, a spokesperson for the Antipoverty Centre and a disability support pension recipient, said the Labor government’s failure to raise payments had made things more difficult for those with low incomes.

She said in a statement the group had regularly heard from people who say “life has gotten harder since the Albanese Government came to power”:

Centrelink payments are still hundreds of dollars a week below the poverty line. It’s no wonder poverty is rising. People can’t keep up when the basics are unaffordable and support has been frozen in real terms. …

There’s no such thing as a responsible budget that keeps people in poverty. If you’re proud of balancing the books while people go hungry, you’ve lost sight of what good government means.

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

I can't think of the exact words this morning, but he's obviously pissed off the royals by skipping giving them money. Yet the whole time those same people were stealing from their people

Three days into the truce no medicine has come in, no meat or any other kind of food for the people, no milk for the children, no basic supplies.

Two images of Mario's original sprite with Designed with Gamers in Mind with the sprite edited to have a cleavage, no tash, and a small dot for the eye. The other is Designed with Activits in Mind, and is his normal sprite.

I'm so afraid that so many people have convinced themselves that the slop machine is perfect, it's everyone else that's wrong 🫠

It ended up sounding more like something those awful job coaches expect you to send after a job interview. Even my awkward arse couldn't be that bland after a date

Look, this is clearly a stitch-up exploiting the fact that Thorpe is Blak and white Australians are racist as shit, but frankly if it had been a legitimate and deadly threat to burn down Parliament ... that would just make me like her even more www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

Lidia Thorpe’s protest remarks spark controversy as Israeli hostage release nears

News that after two years of war in Gaza a hostage deal has been reached was met in Melbourne by a large pro-Palestine rally and a joyful pro-Israel gathering.

I've met lidia, she's wonderful!

Never stan politicians, but I'm genuinely proud of her

Also every time she's been at a rally, the media turns up. As soon as they realise she's not going to say a sound bite they can abuse out of context, they fuck off soo fast

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Raghad. Raghad is 22 years old and was finishing her studies to be a nurse. She wanted to go into nursing because her mother had a stroke that made her lose movement in her arms and legs. They are now displaced with her 10 siblings.

Men like Piers Morgan have found women in trans women who it is socially acceptable to abuse.

Every time they do this stuff they are telling you how they'd treat cis women if they could get away with it.

Funnily I didn't expect today to have too many steps, just a bunch of standing. Somehow still hit 10k, I guess helping marshall a rally does that
