Your periodic reminder that if you need to get out of your house FAST, do not bother trying to stuff your cats into carriers, just scoop them up in pillowcases. (You can drop said squirming rage sacks into carriers for added security if you have time.)

CW: Death

I had a nap today, so sleep is not happening soon.

Laying in bed in the dark is not the answer. I start thinking about what being dead will be like. I realise that's silly, because you're dead. You don't exist any more. But tell my brain that.

The 3mil is just the public advertising ‘value’. All the other stuff is expensive too. A first I think. Proud. Watch out for all the cinema adverts across the school holidays. ;)

Australia’s Voice senator Fatima Payman has accused political leaders of a “double standard” after an Islamic college school bus was set on fire in Adelaide

“There’s no outrage, there’s no pledges of support…why the double standard?”

The NSW Council for Civil Liberties says is ‘alarmed’ by the Minns state government considering criminalising protests outside of religious institutions

They say “any laws […] would unduly silence freedom of speech” and “would cause more division”

Today’s headdesk: Nat Barr says people are “too afraid they’ll be cancelled” if they say that the Indigenous flag shouldn’t be shown with the national flag…yet she said as much on her nationally broadcast breakfast show and nobody has cancelled her.

Maybe it’s just bullshit dog whistling?

Cartoonist David Pope nails it. Albo is trying the "middle road" position that both Israeli AND Palestinian lives matter. Dutton is a fanboy for Netanyahu, who has been charged with war crimes by the #ICC. Meanwhile, everybody knows that Israel is committing #genocide. 😔 #auspol #GazaGenocide
