As we’ve seen this month, the US finally has struck upon the notion that rape is bad, BUT only if it happens to a child and even then there’s still a lot of “pft, you’re an adult at 15.”
So, colour me not fucking surprised by this news

Every state apart from Tas is pulling their weight with hospital expenditure. The Feds not wanting to pay for the additional demand on hospitals that the FEDS CREATE from underfunding their primary health, NDIS and aged care system responsibilities is pathetic bullshit www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...
'Beyond belief': PM tells states to spend less on hospitals
Health ministers are furious with a letter from the prime minister demanding they rein in spending if they want a public hospital funding deal honoured.

Was only thinking earlier today, that Casparij who has been happily outspoken on her support of the trans community, has been in flying form. Very much feels like when you don't have hate in your heart, your skin is clear and your crops can thrive - or whatever the kids say.
A reminder, Nikki Stanton called out transphobia in WOSO by name, and now she's lifting a trophy. You can stand for our trans siblings and win.

I was reminded (as if I needed it) as to why I love the dub yesterday. Told Bunge I would be in Gosford in my Bunge NZ kit supporting her and she was so happy. Got Laura Pickett to sign my Pickett kit and she was really touched. And gave Izzy Gomez some light-hearted ribbing over her GF goal

One of the things that bothers me about transphobia as a word - see also islamophobia etc. - is that, no, no it's not a *phobia* it's not arachnophobia or pyrophobia or things that actually relate to someone being scared, it's hatred and bigotry that is often finessed into a grift.
From @karleighchardonnay.bsky.social at Outsports:
Jennifer Sey, who said the NWSL had “several males” has issued a $10,000 bounty to the next player to “speak out like Elizabeth Eddy.” An anonymous donor added $5000. Clay Travis said he’d double it.
