In news which should be shocking to absolutely no-one with an ounce of commonsense or humanity, providing gender affirming care to trans young people reduces risks of harm.
Preventing trans young people accessing treatment has never been about "protecting children"

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

Exhausted economist technical rant: every time someone talks about a GPU or TPU or other unit of compute, their comparisons are trash unless normalized by BOTH sticker price for the chip AND energy consumption of the chip. Chip cost = fixed; energy = marginal cost.

![4-panel comic. (1) [person in front of window, shaped like a trapezoid with a curved top] This weekend, I had to make an oversized screen for a porch window.

For many years Open Australia Foundation ran electionleaflets.org.au
It takes time and dedication to run projects.

Unfortunately electionleaflets.org.au is down.
It does sort of still exist in the Trove Pandora archive: webarchive.nla.gov.au/awa/20100723...
But it's clunky.
It's not been active for many many years. So, is this something you lot care about? Or should we just allow to sunset?

I pity the man who picks an open fight with Anne. She does not pull punches and isn't nice about it neither. She will disembowel you and hang your entrails on a fence as a warning to others. But Stupid Seymour has decided "but she wouldn't do that to me!"
