Today I was in Maldon & overheard a woman planning to get firewood home.

She said: Where are the men when you need them?

I said: You don't need men when you've got a lesbian.

Then I honest to god flexed my arm muscles for her.

And you bet I loaded the car easily. #lesbian

@TheKennyDevine Pride month is giving this year. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

@frollickingmole @cmdibley Don’t be disingenuous. If you care about women’s safety, you would make tackling family violence perpetrated by men in the family home a priority.

[Ange Elson @AC_E]

@MarkBrooksArt @metroadlib I mean. Does actual character development take words? Yeet those immediately. But also. What if the dialogue is: I like your brown hair and lovely green eyes.

[Ange Elson @AC_E]

@frollickingmole @cmdibley The majority of violence is perpetrated by men in the family home. That’s not from feminist literature. That’s from actual crime data globally.

[Ange Elson @AC_E]

@frollickingmole @cmdibley Because women were not allowed out of the house so no public conveniences existed. When public sentiment changed, the hand wringers were all about not allowing men to consort with sex workers, so built seperate conveniences.

@DavidBeckler1 @AlexM_Artist @cmdibley Yeah. The ‘many’ is doing some pretty heavy lifting here. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Ange Elson @AC_E]

@EliMcCann I'm for the first one. <3

@thejuwonbalogun @Mthandeni975 @CweBophi Why not wear a condom? Like. This is the absolute worst case scenario. And fair if someone take precautions on all fronts if you no longer trust them.

@reedgalen @GreyLadiesNYC It’s the gay agenda. No one is immune.

[Ange Elson @AC_E]

@Cranky_Old_Guy @aaronsmith @unmassedwashers So, you prefer theatre that doesn't make any different to actual work in Parliament?

I note she also mostly just votes with the LNP. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Ange Elson @AC_E]

@Cranky_Old_Guy @aaronsmith @unmassedwashers She represents the people by VOTING in parliament. That's representative democracy in action. She is literally supposed to be there to ensure that her vote counts and aligns to the people who voted her in.

@Poundy90 @MarkoMatvikov I worry that people take this stuff seriously. It's how misinformation gets traction.

[Ange Elson @AC_E]

@supercrump70268 @MarkoMatvikov You have no evidence. And your belief does not in fact make it true.

The biggest cost to Centrelink is the Age Pension.

[Ange Elson @AC_E]

@supercrump70268 @MarkoMatvikov You can't. Centrelink payments are generally not considered a "living wage" & often fall significantly below the poverty line for families. Parental Leave Pay is linked to the national minimum wage, the standard Parenting Payment is considerably lower.

@MarkoMatvikov @bmdamiano I was really impressed by the proactive approach of the Japanese Government who have kicked off the "Ikumen" (involved, handsome father) movement. Creates the confidence, structural supports and financial supports people to have kids.

[Ange Elson @AC_E]

@agequake @MarkoMatvikov Lots of commentary about women in this thread which is worrying. Especially when the research says that one of the contributing factors in missing a window for having kids for women is 'unsuitable partner' or partner who is 'not ready' for parenthood.

[Ange Elson @AC_E]

@Poundy90 @MarkoMatvikov Where's your evidence for this? These definitional data sets go through rigourous and transparent consultation via the ABS. Changes are also well documented in terms of counting rules on the ABS website.

[Ange Elson @AC_E]

@RomanEagles @pixeltoofar @aaronsmith The question you might consider asking is if everyone saves $275 on their bills, what is the overall cost to taxpayers + for how many years will this budget measure exist? The NEM has 9 million customers, so the costed policy might be $2.475 billion for one year.

@TentyQuarantino @_celia_bedelia_ How long have they been together?
