Riding over the Sydney Harbour Bridge on a bus and looking at the Aboriginal flag and the Australian flag at the summit.
I can see why some people hate having two flags. The Aboriginal flag looks like a real flag and the other like when your mum says you have flags at home.

Rich people in my parent’s suburb keep killing trees to try and get better water views, and the council has promised to plant five trees in the same spot for every tree killed, as a particularly petty deterrent. Love it, suck shit

Newington Old Boys — and the gift that keeps giving. What a bunch of sexist sooks: www.theage.com.au/national/nsw...
The boy who is suing his private school
The student alleges the school’s governing council contravened the terms of a 19th-century charitable trust by implementing its plan to admit girls.

One of the things I learned going deep into contemporaneous commentary from Confederates was that they viewed the end of slavery as apocalyptic. They were extremely willing to die rather than live without it, and yet they also were aggrieved at the Union making them do so.
I keep saying… the trump cult ain’t thinking straight. They don’t care about anything you care about. It’s a death cult.

Best of 2024:
A pair of mulga parrots, male on the left, from one of my trips to Gluepot Reserve this year.
These small parrots are insanely colourful. I always joke that they look like they got stuck in a paint factory 😄

4/ Parody, satire, or fan accounts are allowed on Bluesky, but they must clearly label themselves in both the display name and bio to help others know the account isn’t official. Accounts with only one of these elements will receive an impersonation label.

1) she didn't say "all" men, or even "most". Men applies to 2 or more.
2) if "not all men", how is anyone supposed to tell?
3) even if some men is a small number, it's usually too many
4) reversion to patriarchy isn't needed in patriarchal society
5) Tone Policing isn't a "minor request".
Do better

It’s cute how men think “you will die alone with your cats” is an insult rather than an affirmation.
