I'm uncomfortable with memorialising the women murdered during the witch trials as "witches". Because it misses the point that witches never existed. The people murdered were women who hadn't done anything wrong. What we actually lost was our traditional knowledge, stories and healing practices.

Brief moment of elation at the Queensland Supreme Court decision only to be downcast by the Queensland minister's decision to ignore science, experts and the needs of kids and reinstate the ban on puberty blockers and gender affirming drugs 💔 Well done the family who made the court case happen.

We need to do as much as we each can to spotlight these deportations (what the article describes as "exile to a remote island penal colony"). It's unfair and inhumane.

As someone who grew up isolated in rural Australia I can't tell you how much this post means to me. My life changed when I got my own device and the internet (in my 20s). Suddenly I could find topics I cared about and people who were like me without the surveillance of family and community.
