Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊
Nerdy kid at keyboard: Hi guys, I've noticed that it is International Men's Day today, and I'm confused. Why do we need a day to talk about men? We're not a marginalised group like women, queer people, or people of colour. The media is already full of stories about men. Big buff shirtless dude at keyboard: I'm glad you asked, champ. Whatever your view on men's place in society, it's still true that we face a lot of issues - like social isolation, risk of suicide, health problems, and attitudes towards sex and child rearing. Having a day to talk about those doesn't take away from anyone else's problems. In fact, having a day to talk about them helps us be more mindful, and listen better at other times. Second shirtless buff dude on a couch at his laptop: The chief here is really on to something. I want to echo what he said, and also point out that the idea we should remain silent about our problems actually contributes to a lot of our issues. We are human beings, with human needs. Seeking mutual support and understanding isn't the same thing as placing a burden on others. Especially if we're providing it for each other. Third buff dude at his laptop: Right on, my fellow kings. We've inherited a social legacy of competition and division, and a lot of what makes a man in our era is under question. IMD is a chance for us to examine and rethink what we are together, and build the bonds of solidarity and support that will make a better way possible - like in this meme. Because in our hearts, we're all curious kids and buff guys on keyboards.

Aurora australis: southern lights to be visible across large parts of Australia amid severe solar storm
Lights may be enjoyed from Tasmania and New Zealand, experts say, but also as far north as Sydney and Perth Skywatchers may be treated to a celestial delight on Wednesday evening, with a severe solar storm making it possible to view the southern lights across large parts of Australia – possibly including Sydney and Perth. An intense geomagnetic storm, caused by several powerful bursts of energy from the sun, has led the Bureau of Meteorology’s space weather forecasting centre to issue an aurora alert for “mid to southern parts of Australia”.

Update from me, given the most recent statement from The Equality Project. #BetterTogether2025
Better Together 2025: 29/10 update As a planned speaker at Better Together 2025, I recently advised that I would be withdrawing from the conference unless The Equality Project reversed their decision to platform Matt Beard’s hateful and misinformed anti-trans views. As of today (29 October), the podcast has been pulled down and Jason from TEP has posted a personal apology, recognising that the episode in question was hurtful, harmful and misinformed, and that trans and gender diverse people are a vital, non-negotiable part of the queer community. Prior to the apology, several organisations, including Queerspace and Transgender Victoria, had expressed their concerns and withdrawn their support for the event, but had not called for a general boycott – instead stating that individuals would make their own call on the matter. As above, my initial call was to withdraw. This decision was not made lightly: a-specs have so few chances to be heard as is. But I’m proud that I was able to raise my voice in this matter, and proud that my fellow aces and aros felt similarly. We know full well that transphobia goes hand-in-hand with aphobia. An apology like this does not resolve the issue, but it’s an important first step. It gives me hope that we will see further change. Following the latest apology, I asked if it was possible for my session to be added back into the program. Thankfully, this has now occurred, albeit with a change in time. I will now be speaking at 11:30am on Friday, in the Orange Room. My session is titled, “A-Spec History in a Physical Space: The Making of Nonlimerent // Monosexual”. I recognise that some will still choose not to attend. I respect that decision. As stated above, I am not aware of an organised boycott, thus I’ve made a personal decision based on my own morals and my own read of the situation. For those who do attend: I hope to see you there!

Jason from TEP has now posted a personal apology re the anti-trans Matt Beard interview. I'm actually pleasantly surprised: unlike the previous statement, this one acknowledges that it was a) hurtful, b) harmful and c) misinformation. Still missing any next steps, but maybe those will follow.
LinkedIn post signed by Jason from The Equality Project Australia. Copy pasted: I apologise for the hurt caused by an episode of our Brave Conversations podcast published earlier this year. Rather than a journalistic piece, we intended to surface each individual’s beliefs and values. As a result, we put sources into the public that the TGD community have been campaigning against as misinformation, and I acknowledge that this caused a lot of hurt. I am deeply sorry for this. We have taken the podcast down in consideration of these concerns being raised and to mitigate any harm it might cause in future. Transgender people are our community. They deserve appropriate and respectful access to healthcare and all the other parts of our society that full citizens should have access to. We will continue to create space for the voices of transgender people in our work as we have always done. Now more than ever, these voices are important. I am very grateful to members of the transgender community who have reached out to talk, and to those who have shared resources with us. Australia’s national grassroots LGBTIQA+ community conference, Better Together, is on this Friday. Many sessions are being run by transgender or gender diverse people, or for the TGD community. Speakers and participants come from all over the country, many out of their own pocket, and for some it is the one time of the year they get to immerse in the Rainbow Community. For many people it is their first time speaking at a conference. This conference isn’t about The Equality Project. Better Together is by the community, for the community. I would deeply regret if this mistake also hurt the opportunity for this amazing bunch of diverse speakers, many of who don’t get a voice outside of this space, to have their say and to connect with community. I am grateful to everyone who has stayed in dialogue with us about this, and we remain committed to listening, learning and doing better.

I know this isn't about me,but it actually really sucks to see mainstream queer orgs lurch to the right while more progressive groups become increasingly siloed and invite-only. I feel like I've spent years shoving my foot in the door, and now it's the wrong door and all the other doors are locked.

Statement re the 2025 Better Together conference by the Equality Project. #BetterTogether2025
White text on a dark purple background, reading: Statement re Better Together 2025. I am currently scheduled to speak at the Equality Project's 2025 Better Together conference. Following the recent statement by Queerspace, I have advised the organising team that I will not participate unless they reverse their decision to platform Matt Beard's hateful and misinformed views on transgender women and young people, as per episode 4 of the so-called "Brave Conversations" series. The episode featured two cisgender men discussing whether transgender women should be allowed access to female bathrooms or to participate in women's sports. The lack of self-awareness was astounding. The episode also repeated common anti-trans conspiracy theories and "evidence" from the discredited Cass Report. These claims are hurtful, false and linked to growing global intolerance, authoritarianism and declining access to gender-affirming care, including in Australia. There was nothing brave about this conversation. It was hateful, false and punched downwards. I remain hopeful that the Equality Project will change their stance. If not, I will unfortunately have to cancel my presentation. I'm very sad to have to make this call. I was planning to talk about my recent exhibition, Nonlimerent // Monosexual: An Aromantic and Asexual History. A-spec people are still a very small minority at events like these, and we fight extra hard for every extra seat at the table. But if history has taught us anything, it's that there is no queer justice without trans justice. I hope to see you all at a more inclusive event sometime soon.

I've managed to get a surprising number of a-specs mad about this. :) it's promising that Matt's sessions are no longer listed in the program, however the podcast itself is still up and Equality Project hasn't made any kind of statement yet. Fingers crossed. Otherwise: a-spec boycott is a go.
