@crikey_news @simonahac @georgiamareew But of course...

I cant express how painful it is to read this. He condemns girls being killed in Iran & the response is to call him racist & fire him within 10mins
Why are our lives so disposable to you that even expressing anger about us being killed is wrongthink? Do you not consider us human?

[Zachary Elliott @zaelefty]

Words like “transphobe” and “TERF” are not even words, but rather, tripwires, as @BretWeinstein said.

They are tripwires that, when used, are there to shut down the conversation and virtue signal to others that a supposedly evil person has been marked.

@StoatlyL @freesafelegal Apparently not, according to whoever wrote that article.

carbon capture & storage on coal is a complete and utter nonsense.

...but #CCS should be mandatory for all fossil gas processing plants.

...and #CCS has a role in cement production, and maybe a few other (likewise small) sectors of the economy.

[💧simon holmes à court 🦋 @simonahac]

our universities and the #ABC both help create an informed and critical populace.

...wonder why @ScottMorrisonMP is working so hard to maim these institutions. 🤔

@LoreleiLiBan No, I know! The notion that it increases acceptance of the LGB community is preposterous IMHO

Why not just point to those who quietly go about their business?

[✍🏻Ginger, a Australian Woman. Not quiet, usually @LidaAHall]

@LoreleiLiBan It's got nothing to do with Pride month as far as I'm aware...

[Genevieve Gluck @WomenReadWomen]

Let me say this very simply:
If changing what you wear changes how people treat you, you aren't systematically oppressed.

Women are raped no matter what they wear, and racists kill based on racism, not clothing.

Dad Joke of the Day:

My psychiatrist diagnosed
me with a fear of giants.
It's called feefiphobia.

We laugh and joke and say 'haha gotcha' but every now and then I stop short and realize this is real. In 2020 we're fighting a fight we'd thought the Suffragettes had already won, for privacy and dignity in women's-only spaces. It's literally unreal.

[MFWitches @MFWitches]

We’re sooo badly served by Aus media. Murdoch the worst, but all large operators are complicit. They rushed to demonise protestors, smashed @DanielAndrewsMP on branch stacking, & pushed for faster easing of lockdowns, yet now claim innocence for result. HOW TO GASLIGHT A NATION.

[✍🏻Ginger, a Australian Woman. Not quiet, usually @LidaAHall]

@Muttmere1 @Twitter Surely that's a clear case of harassment at the very least?

[✍🏻Ginger, a Australian Woman. Not quiet, usually @LidaAHall]

@romanamancini @AubreyandBill Yes. 25 years after the fact, too.

[✍🏻Ginger, a Australian Woman. Not quiet, usually @LidaAHall]

@worriedmumofone *Nor do I believe that it is

[✍🏻Ginger, a Australian Woman. Not quiet, usually @LidaAHall]

@worriedmumofone "Family friendly"? No.

Nor do I believe that drag queen story time any way to "increase public acceptance of the LGBTQ+ Community". I wonder if anyone *truly* believes that it does?

[✍🏻Ginger, a Australian Woman. Not quiet, usually @LidaAHall]

@AbsMcFabs I have to say that that sounds far more like "institutional misogyny" to me.

[✍🏻Ginger, a Australian Woman. Not quiet, usually @LidaAHall]

@AubreyandBill @ALLIANCELGB Wow - open homophobia now? Yuck.

[Geoffrey Miller @gmiller]

So many people getting cancelled these days -- especially eccentric, ornery, and/or 'neurodivergent' people.

This @Quillette article from 3 years ago, which IMHO is one of the better things I've written, seems more relevant than ever.
