they wouldn't lend you $100 they'd make you go through a tedious and dehumanising process to apply for it and then demand you continue to show you're worthy of it through a series of nonsensical tasks, while simultaneously insisting you're lazy and why don't you just get a job anyway

Since being added to Khalil’s mailing list after emailing him about Palestine, I’ve tried several times to unsubscribe. A reminder this election season: political parties are exempt from the spam act and the privacy act - a disgusting double standard.

also, no 😌

We actually *don’t* have to trust real estate agencies to do the right thing with our data. Renters have no choice but to give it to you, but we don’t have to trust you with it.

Relying on the goodwill of REAs ain’t it. Strong and enforced law forcing them to act fairly and responsibly is though.

the MC at the protect trans young people rally in naarm asked attendees to ask for photo consent, or if you can’t, to crop or blur out people’s faces. this kind of privacy and digital security awareness in the face of rising surveillance and protest repression is such important community care 🩵🩷🤍

ugh, same. I had to go out for a little walk today to get away from it and I saw this guy set up by the bike path, wagging his tail and watching the people go by. he doesn't even know what a president is, dreamy

vic govt talking about banning masks at protests but 1) covid is still a thing, looking after each other is community care and immunocompromised people ought to be able to participate and 2) maybe masking is actually a reasonable response to increased facial surveillance and policing

as if this whole farce wasn't already deeply unserious, the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill has been referred to committee today, with a report due on November 26, leaving just a 24 hour window for the public to make submissions. www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...

I set many goals for 2024, but the only one I’m going to achieve is walking to Mordor. TIL that Shelob is still ~260 km from Mount Doom. At this rate I’m scheduled to destroy the One Ring around 20 December. Merry Christmas! Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t achieve your dreams xoxo
