oh thank you, I didn’t realise it’s because I hadn’t updated the app, and just got the ‘new feature’ box, yay! Now just to try and find the post that prompted the thought 😅

🚨 Mutual Aid Request

We know this time of year is really tough for everyone. If you are in a position to share any lil tidbit, it all counts

Please share widely

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I just inhaled this over the last couple of days. Deeply intense and emotional, with special rage at how our systems continue to fail by design, and the resultant trauma that’s ever-lasting

If you are a social worker in so-called australia (or elsewhere) sign the petition calling on AASW to pull their damn heads in

If you’re an AASW member, call ‘em out directly, & consider cancelling your membership

Fuck every single person still supporting the Democrats and this President

We urgently need to start stepping up our critical work in our communities. They’ve got decades of power and money behind them - but we have the people.

This isn’t just a US issue. The rest of us are at their mercy.

As Tabitha Lean highlights - criminalising coercive control will not lead to increased safety, for anyone.

It also highlights the danger, especially to Black & Brown women who don’t want to report, of the dangers of so-called mandatory reporting & risk of child removal

As Celeste Liddle highlights - politicians committed to Uluṟu, which includes truth-telling. Which includes confronting truths when it’s not ‘palatable’.

wong censuring Thorpe & Babet - giving false equivalence
Is a disgrace. The silence of other politicians should not be ignored, either.

Transphobes who say they care about kids safety and wellbeing should be up in arms about this - anti-trans legislation directly causes a drastic increase in suicide risk

But, of course, they don’t actually care about kids

The criminal legal & punishment system is not designed for victims/survivors - that’s not its purpose. But what it puts victims through, & it’s strict rigidity is harmful to everyone

Another consideration of the disaster that will be ‘digital ID’ - the potential risk to sex workers businesses

Can guarantee that the cops will be doing everything possible to grab every bit of info on this victims computer - they don’t give a shit that he’s a lawyer and there’s privileged info
