Well hello Bluesky. Nice to be here. When people ask what my religion is I say #Feminism when they ask if I speak another language I say does #swearing count? I love sport, esp #AustralianRulesFootball played by women, #cats, my #GenderEquality work & my wife 🌈. Not necessarily in that order. 😲

Well the steam is gathering about how risky it is for detractors of Trump to travel to the U.S.
My wife: “Trump won’t want you there given how vocal you are about him.”
Me: “I’ll be right”
Wife: “you’re fucked”

When your political popularity is tanking, you do these things:
1. Talk about crime
2. Elicit the sympathy vote
3. Start a war

Goodness - I wonder how this story from August 2024 made its way into The Australian in the middle of Dutton's disastrous week?

Cindy Gallop posted this on LinkedIn. Am I justified in being leery of traveling to the USA this year given the work I do, and my stance on Trumpty Dumptys politics? Or is this Jenny penny territory?

Watching Tanya Pliberseck on ABC this morning - wishing that bloody factional deals hadn’t kept her out of the leadership of the parliamentary ALP. She is so impressive.

Hey, are we ever gonna have sprawling coverage about this president's mental state too? Or was that just reserved for the guy who wasn't breaking the economy?
Trump: "An old fashioned term that we use -- groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it."

Crumbs! Episode 3 of an SBS doco shines a light on “mother’s little helper” being routinely prescribed to women in the 1970s. Chemical restraints to keep women in line. Gahhhh thanks #patriarchy (not)

I wrote to my federal member, Adam Bandt, on 3rd March asking about his commitment to #GenderEquality & #WomensRights on 3/3/25. Am yet to receive a response. He’s too busy making TikToks. 🙄
Really hoping for a viable alternate candidate to vote for in the seat of Melbourne. ☹️ #auspol

It’s quite telling that James Patterson the LNP “Campaign Spokesperson” is doing all the media engagements for the opposition. Just shows that even the LNP know how unappealing Dutton is. #auspol

“The Coalition has failed to increase its proportion of female candidates for the House of Representatives ahead of the federal election due by May, despite a party review blaming men’s dominance of the Liberal and National parties for contributing to the Morrison government’s 2022 loss.”

On the Triple M Australia Issue: 🧵
1. Women are fed up to the back teeth because we’ve put up with the shitty behaviour exhibited by the Triple M presenter & worse their entire life.
But here’s the thing, we women will cop shit from men for being “over the top” in our reactions.
