V interesting watching tensions emerge on Australia’s right even before Dutton potentially becomes PM. On Ukraine and hate speech laws there’s a fracturing between normie Libs and seemingly younger, MAGA-inspired groups.

Think about all the things that can fit when we just stop surrendering most of our urban space to cars.

Urban life can fit.

When you see a woman receiving death threats and harrasement simply for sharing her achievement of earning a Ph.D., you have to wonder if we truly progressed as a society.

Took a photo of my Melbourne when I was out walking with my bf.

While the day was a burning nightmare, the evening was really pleasant. Surprisingly peaceful considering how many people and cars were around.

As we approach the final sitting week of our Federal Parliament, housing is the most important issue for so many people in this country.
With this in mind, Labor will spend this time trying to make sure that 15 year olds can’t use Instagram.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Equating Thorpe’s principled protest with Babet’s hate speech is calculated and racist. In their crude attempt to silence First Nation truth telling, the ALP demonstrates the hollowness of their stated commitment to Voice, let alone Treaty

The US election results are really grim. With Republicans controlling the house, senate, supreme court, and presidency, there are some frightening possibilities for Americans and the rest of the world. My thoughts are with those who tried to resist. We all have to make sense of these awful results.

This is the second time I’ve caught myself reading about Bruce Willis instead of my PhD research matter. I don’t even know how I got here 😂
