Teleology, existentialism, hedonism. Expand the self; fight entropy; create meaning. … he/him.

If we're doing last tweets, I want to commemorate the final public post of @Change_for_Iran, shortly after I joined in 2009, still so poignant and true today. #Iran #IranElection #IranRevolution #MahsaAmini

the biggest help: spread the news & don't desert us! it may take some time but we will take what is rightfully ours!

This live thread of Twitter engineers and senior execs quitting is incredible.

It’s like watching a planet disintegrate

NEW: University of California grad student workers have launched the largest academic strike in U.S. history.

Workers tell us they can’t afford to eat, pay rent, or have kids.

The university has an endowment worth nearly $30 billion.

A Black family in Seattle got their home appraised: $670,000.

3 weeks later, they took down their family photos and African art. A white neighbor stood in for the family when a new appraiser arrived.

New value: $929,000.

It’s disappointing that it is your own Tory anti-trade union legislation that forces unions to re-ballot their membership every six-months.
Having cleared this legislative hurdle, again, the onus is on you to get serious in negotiations so that any further strikes can be avoided.

Today as part of Trans Awareness Week, we're celebrating the beautiful and unique history of Sistergirls, Brotherboys, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander trans and gender diverse folks. We honour their place in trans history, their historicity, and their communities ❤️💛🖤

@efa_oz It's disappointing that Medibank and Optus have refused to attend the hearings on the new privacy laws today - they clearly have relevant experience!

Thoughts right now with Deliveroo workers who just had their work life thrown into chaos. Without formal employment contracts many will receive no redundancy or notice payments. The gig economy needs to be urgently rejigged to put people before profit https://t.co/1x8l5k00Tu

Astounding Rupert Murdoch's Australian actually published this misogynistic rant by Nick Cater.

Young single women are apparently too stupid to know the "right" party to vote for unless they are married & uneducated.

Shireen was killed 6 months ago by an Israeli soldier. Since then, Israel has denied they did it and/or deflected blame. The US has been complicit in this charade, even after Israel finally admits to killing her. No justice, accountability, or rest for those of us who loved her.

"Qld police said they took him to the local watch house and put him in a holding cell. He was found “unresponsive in his cell” a short time later."

How does this happen?

Don't believe ANYTHING in a Qld Police Press Release. "he was found" - how often was he checked?

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

"Using bogus net zero pledges to cover up massive fossil fuel expansion is reprehensible. It is rank deception. This toxic cover-up could push our world over the climate cliff. The sham must end."

Really important intervention from UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres at #COP27

#SCOTUS hears oral argument today in Brackeen, a constitutional challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act; the Court could use #Brackeen to undermine the foundations of Indian law. Plaintiffs argue that ICWA is unconst'l race discrimination and that it violates states' rights. /1
