Australian slur technology is the most advanced in the world
I’ve looked up the origin of seppo and the result has obliterated me
![Dictionary

noun (plural seppos or plural seppoes)
Australian English informal, often derogatory
an American person: did you hear how loud that seppo was on the train? | [as modifier]: Happy Thanksgiving to all our seppo friends.
ORIGIN
1980s: abbreviation of septic tank, rhyming slang for Yank.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nbefytkrog3p2utr23qtt5hi/bafkreiaigpqbhwvfr27hswwx27x6plckegwkojysnt7vsn6ggperqcq5v4@jpeg)

Halfway through my queer needle books embroidery project. First, a non-binary counted work sampler featuring eyelets, pulled thread work, crossed stitches and blackwork. Second, a queer blackwork gradient.

Really like this project by Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek. Titled Exactitudes, it's a series of portraits stretching back 20 years that shows how people style themselves to signal they're part of a group and unique individuals within that group.

So just for the record here, I've read more today, and we're now down to 10% for the last two days.
It's genuinely kind of gruelling to read a sub pile for an aromantic anthology focused on platonic relationships and get more pieces with an romance storyline than an aro MC

Also opening a document by marking the first fleet as the start of Australian society is as telling as it gets.
This opening part of Segal's document on the cause of the rise of antisemitism is total distortion of the truth.
This from the woman who also thinks she should be in charge of monitoring Australia's media.

Every Junji Ito anime adaptation showcases how comics aren't some throwaway stepping stone to animation and cinema, and that we should stop treating them as such. Comics, like prose novels, are their own medium that can convey things animation and video cannot.

Please consider this your friendly reminder that queer books aren't only queer when they include a central romance. Queer people are queer all the time, whether they're in a romantic relationship or not, and arguing otherwise excludes folks on the aromantic spectrum.

Cycling is the most weird and wonderful sport, honestly in what other competitive endeavour can you almost get knocked over by a goat, pet a taxidermy fox, and meet the pontiff, within the same race 🤯🙏

Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.
Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023.
They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."
