Working class hands built SLV, and working class taxes pay for it to exist, so suck it up, you’re gonna have to sit beside a member of the working class and lump it, because it’s common space for us all

vs. #NACC is my favourite spectator sport. Only improvement would be to put up a net between them.

Q: You said that second strike was in accordance with the law of armed conflict, but the Navy's own manual says that firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime

'Some staff are shocked?' ALL recently forced out staff, & the few experts left, everyone who isn't in the questionable senior management tier knows that the State Library in Melbourne is teetering on the brink of irreparable disaster & the end of this iconic Library as we know it. Inquiry now.

Proposed cuts at State Library of Victoria go against its mission – and will hurt the disadvantaged

Solidarity to those brave staff speaking up.

Kid in parking lot asks "What should I ask you?" (license plate: ASKME)
"Anything, I work at the library"
* Kid laughs *
"Let me ask YOU something. Do you have a library card?"
"Nope."
"Live in town?"
"Yep."
"Well, they're free. You should get one"
"Okay!"
