Last month saw #TransAwarenessWeek & #InternationalMensDay coincide. May I mansplain that a key solution to the scourges of 1)male violence against women & 2)men’s poor mental health & suicide is to embrace gender diversity. Toxic biological gender roles & stereotypes are the problem

Australian election cheat sheet for our international cousins:
- The “Liberals” are the pro-Trump bad guys, and wear blue.
- Labor are the pro-democracy good guys, and wear red.
There are loads of minor parties and independents, but the unifying call is PUT THE LIBERALS LAST.

The Coalition have also taken lessons from Trump and other nationalistic campaigns in recent years -claim time is 'running out' to 'save' the country. There's no substance behind any of it - you only need to read Boris Johnson's book to see how much of a joke so much of it is, but it will run

Wondering if most #Aussies on #BlueSky voted #Yes23 for #VoiceToParliament.
I dedicated a bunch of time to volunteer on the #GoldCoast and was absolutely heartbroken and angered by the result.
We also received constant verbal attacks and threats 🖤💛💔

And a reminder: you are more susceptible to disinformation if you’re angry or you’re frightened. Enraging you is crucial to manipulating you to share, like and align with things you otherwise wouldn’t.
Block early, block often.
Avoid rage: don’t engage.

I get the feeling that it's only a matter of time before there's no difference. But I intend to enjoy this while it lasts.
