Australian governments subsidising fossil fuel use by more than $30,000 a minute, analysis finds Australia Institute data finds state and federal subsidies for coal, gas and oil products increased 10% in past year, growing at a faster pace than funding to NDIS

Remember this next time anyone in the govt says they can’t afford to raise the rate.

I love that kurta. What a gorgeous colour! It really suits you.

I hope the book launch is as great as the book! Congratulations on the publication.

This young man got the memo. This is what fascists deserve. The Hitler-youth bro making the video should be named, shamed and re-punched as necessary.

So cool!

Perfect! You are always so dapper. I envy how put-together you are on any given day.

A Valentine's Day poem for you (written by me):

Roses are red
Lettuce is salad
Whatever your relationship status
You're perfect and valid!

💜💙💚💛🧡❤️

I set that up, didn't I?

And yes, everyone should cover their load to avoid unwanted accidents!

Noooooo! That sucks super badly. MF'ers need to tie their load down!

You and @pagingdrpaige.bsky.social created an amazing event and have made ANZSIL GSIL into a wonderful community. I feel privileged to be part of both!

That looks like a good time.

Wow. That is very not good. I'm so sorry your country sucks about disease safety.

I saw teachers flaunt their heterosexuality in schools, talking about their opposite-gendered cis spouses! They read books that are filled with hetero couples and cis people. Why, I've seen some introduce their cis hetero partners IN THE CLASSROOM! Didn't indoctrinate me/my kids, thankfully!

I'm in another country, but I love seeing your success! Couldn't happen to a better somewhat-anonymous beloved internet authorial sensation.

From Your Bluesky to Your ears!

Ewww. That sounds ghastly.

That's great!

Lard-based cookies sounds disgusting, even if they hid the lard flavour and were sweet.

Sometimes things are vegan here and not in the US, like McDonalds fries (vegan in Australia!). I never know and would have to check if I traveled to the US again.

Oreos are vegan in Australia. I'm not sure about the US.

I'm with Claerwen and Holly, also in furious agreement.

Of course Hegseth is proud of traitors to his country that tried to tear it apart for the most disgusting and heinous of reasons. He continues that tradition.

Exactly. She clearly doesn't think child molestation is a matter of concern, since arranging it was her thing.

Excellent work millenials and gen Z. Excellent.

Those of us who are Gen X and other outside the US are no longer travelling to the US. Many international tourists used to go to Las Vegas. ANow we avoid your country. We don't want to disappear into Aligator Auschwitz or your other detention camps.

I've noticed that JD's style is basically little boy whose mum dresses him funny.

He has no fashion sense, in addition to being a fascist creep.

There are charities that pass them along to prisons. Unfortunately, I am not sure of the name. I just know we have occasional donation drives for them at my uni. Also, would your local law student association take them?

I would absolutely read that essay!

Important thread. There's a petition link to protest Everglades Auschwitz near the end of the thread.

"Friends" :)

Damn, that sucks. I'm in Australia and had no trouble filling a prescription 9 days early before a recent trip.

Also: Have all the fun on your honeymoon!

There is at least one lawyer in Australia who did this and who faces serious disciplinary action. The court was furious over 8 out of 9 case citations being fabricated by hallucinating AI.

LLM AI is not anyone's friend. It's planet-destroying fancy autocorrect. There is no intelligence there.

Largest trans survey ever finds the top reason transgender people stop transitioning is transphobia “In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community,” the survey found.
