@dieworkwear Signing receipts? How quaint! I love a pen that feels good, but give me tap-and-go with my phone for all transactions.

@MAnneAmbrose1 @dieworkwear It was e for envelopes that I used to help me remember.

@Trixie_Boo It's the payments that get me, not the sentiment. A genuine welcome would not require a payment.

This 'why do you care about a tiny fraction of the population?' line is, and always was, utterly ridiculous.

Gender ideology has undermined freedom of speech, scientific truth, gay rights, and women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. It's also caused irreparable physical damage to vulnerable kids.

Nobody voted for it, the vast majority of people disagree with it, yet it has been imposed, top down, by politicians, healthcare bodies, academia, sections of the media, celebrities and even the police. Its activists have threatened and enacted violence on those who've dared oppose it. People have been defamed and discriminated against for questioning it. Jobs have been lost and lives have been ruined, all for the crime of knowing that sex is real and matters.

When the smoke clears, it will be only too evident that this was never about a so-called vulnerable minority, notwithstanding the fact that some very vulnerable people have been harmed. The power dynamics underpinning our society have been reinforced, not dismantled. The loudest voices throughout this entire fiasco have been people insulated from consequences by their wealth and/or status. They aren't likely to find themselves locked in a prison cell with a 6'4" rapist who's decided his name's now Dolores. They don't need state-funded rape crisis centres, nor do they ever frequent high street changing rooms. They simper from talk show sofas about those nasty far-right bigots who don't want penises swinging around the girls' showers, secure in the knowledge that their private pool remains the safe place it always was.

Those who've benefited most from gender identity ideology are men, both trans-identified and not. Some have been rewarded for having a cross-dressing kink by access to all spaces previously reserved for women. Others have parlayed their delicious new victim status into an excuse to threaten, assault and harass women. Non-trans-identified leftybros have found a magnificent platform from which to display their own impeccably progressive credentials, by jeering and sneering at the needs of women and girls, all while patting themselves on the back for giving away rights that aren't theirs.

The actual victims in this mess have been women and children, especially the most vulnerable, gay people who've resisted the movement and paid a horrible price, and regular people working in environments where one misplaced pronoun could see you vilified or constructively dismissed. Do not tell me this is about a tiny minority. This movement has impacted society in disastrous ways, and if you had any sense, you'd be quietly deleting every trace of activist mantras, ad hominem attacks, false equivalence and circular arguments from your X feeds, because the day is fast approaching when you'll want to pretend you always saw through the craziness and never believed it for a second.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

[💧simon holmes à court 🦋 @simonahac]

out of interest, my EV battery has lost 7.8% of its range after 6 years / 92,000km.

yet every day people who have never sat in an EV proclaim here that EVs need new batteries every couple of years.

like #nuclear, the topic of #EVs tends to bring out 'arrogant ignorance'.

[Debra McNaughton @debramcnaughton]

@bronte__lee Sort of like fatty Anouk hogging most of the car seat. Mawson is not impressed.

[Debra McNaughton @debramcnaughton]

@bronte__lee And yes, I am in denial.

[Debra McNaughton @debramcnaughton]

@bronte__lee That's why Samoyeds are the best. Our Mawson is almost 13, but he still looks young because we can't see the signs of ageing. 🥰

[Debra McNaughton @debramcnaughton]

@LilytheSamoyed Something like this probably...

Thanks to the economic incompetence of the Howard govt selling our gas overseas for a song we are forced to import gas when we produce more than enough to meet our needs.
The LNP failed the nation,we are paying a big price for their ideological stupidity. https://t.co/D48tkbERxr

Who wore it better? 🤔

Australian celebrities flocked to the #Logies red carpet yesterday like moths to a lamp. But did they outshine some of Australia's most gorgeous moths?

[Debra McNaughton @debramcnaughton]

@bronte__lee Sounds like the scales are tipping on the right side. A few poos and 🤢 vomits are par for the course for all new pooches.

[Debra McNaughton @debramcnaughton]

@bronte__lee How about Lene Lovich (or a variation of that). I am thinking of the song Lucky Number. Might be apt?
