It’s like his politics start and end through/with violence.

I wish I could remember - there was an Italian word for it. Oh well.

I hope you touched wood after saying that.

Sorry you don’t like their tone but they’re right.

There it is. The thinly veiled Islamophobia.

I doubt that’s going to work in the Hague.

Yeah, that’s fair

Is narcoterrorism still considered a thing in current year? This has to be more an export industry thing rather than a geopolitical disabilisation force multiplier thing, right?

The price of Bahn Mi is about to go up

What a cool country!

Well that’s my faith in the colony just a fraction more diminished.

Meanwhile, in Palestine…

Lots of really weird, dogmatic chest thumping in this section… can we not go down this road?

Respect and mutual community is the way we all benefit. Learn from others or leave them well alone.

I know this might shock some Americans but I’m not keen on the burgeoning possibility of seeing a christiofascist theocracy spill out onto society either. My friends are already suffering organised attacks by yeehawdists for being queer - which is the boogie man y’all (royal y’all) fear from Islam, right? Being attacked for existing?

Stop burning books and stop casting stones. We’re better than this. We can talk in better dialogue than this.

I never thought the lion would eat my face. Free Palestine.

It just dawned on me I might never get to see a glacier…

God bless Lockheed Martin and Coca-Cola.

But theres a point here - what does it really matter if she does? People aren’t static, we all have constant varying degrees of change in our lives and our perceptions of the world around us - I think it’s worthwhile and even noble to try and find words to communicate those changes.

She said so herself, right? Like, we identify with the labels that’ll help people outside ourselves understand best where we’re at - sometimes we change, sometimes we find a more immediately accurate label that articulates something the last one we identified with couldn’t quite reach.

Sure it’s reflective work for the perceived and asks a bit more headspace to process things in that frame for the perceiver - but we’re people. When we commit to being honest (for lack of a better word), we’re never going to live as simple narratives for others.

It’s called X blue now. Because that’s the colour of the… oh.

“I don’t think it’s racist to say~”

mic cut, riff immediately starts, front man left angrily mouthing words to bandmates

Remember y’all - the first allies to Mussolini’s Fascists were industrialists and business owners who used them to attack workers and left wing organisers

Here’s hoping Queensland has the spine to say the same thing about the Olympics.

They want to bulldoze a 100 year old primary school so they can knock down a stadium we already have - to build a new one worth 2.7 billion in exactly the same place. Meanwhile, our rents are going crazy as locals get forced out of their support networks, there’s rough sleepers being displaced and at times outright attacked by the states support workers, our education system is now decades underfunded and the health system isn’t far behind.

We didn’t ask for the Olympics. The campaign was a businessmans vanity project. It’s insane to shoulder the burden of that frivolity right now.
