@oldenoughtosay Literally happened to me - 14 and not having told anyone but wanting to tell my parents. Visiting relatives and uncles says something homophobic and some laugh but nobody says anything. I don’t tell anyone for another three years even though I’d been going to tell them soon
@kramer62no@danderfield It’s been the lyrics for at least 2 decades, I remember reading them in a book about the cats as a kid but they’d removed it from previous recordings played and now they’ve brought it back 🤷🏻♀️
@JayHulmePoet Back when I attended regularly I did work with my church on the difference of “accepting” and actively affirming. Discussed ways of making clear to people outside the church that they were supportive. Passivity is not enough in this space. But we’re in Australia and Uniting so 🤷🏻♀️
@MST_Writes This sounds great for your daughter! It’s becoming more and more common in schools.
That being said, some schools pressure likely lower achieving students to go unscored to improve the school’s average ATAR - something for students and families to be aware of
@jaxstar84@MST_Writes@suburbanservant It’s an official option for VCE with papers and documents and stuff so it definitely doesn’t go unfinished here. I would be surprised if WA didn’t have something similar.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but it’s possible to love your job and feel extremely grateful for it, AND to be critical of the excess labour demands, exploitation, bad bosses, and institutional problems entangled with it
the thing i hate the most is that the queer community had absolutely nothing to do with this whole NRL sea eagles mess, and now we have to watch people debate about us and our value and our existence for however long and it is just exhausting
