‘I miss the days when white middle aged men could be racist ableist homophobic bigots in the workplace. We were allowed to bring our whole toxic selves to work. Now, because there’s this new concept that requires us to treat people who are different to us with respect, we are discrimated against and hate going to the workplace’. Fixed it.
If I could redecorate the offices of the #NDIS
I would install big vinyl letters that say
Goals are dreams with deadlines
And just below
I love deadlines
I love the whooshing noise they make
As they go by

Able bodied people have no idea. Now that my brother is in ICU with COVID I’m my 87 year old mums only carer. The risk I have to juggle is do I go in and see him? If I get it what happens to mum? If we all get it then that’s all of us - gone. What times these are ...
First British tourists of the summer season are here. Middle aged couple with a caravan that had a UKIP sticker in the window. Assumed I spoke English, asked for directions, I replied in French. The woman tutted, rolled her eyes and said,
"They don't even try to speak English"
If you haven't heard about "Joaquin's First School Shooting" I urge you to please watch the video below.
This book was written by a woman named Patricia Oliver. Oliver lost her 17-year-old son Joaquin Oliver in the Parkland Florida school shooting in 2018.
Joaquin had told his parents before his passing that he wanted to make a difference in the world. His story can make that difference.
We need to get together as a nation, to at least try and do something to stop what's happening. We can work together and come up with solutions which do not abridge the Second Amendment, but also don't allow our young children to continue to be put in harms way because of a lack of willingness to compromise.
Also, please follow Patricia's Twitter account here: @ChangeTheRef.

Robodebt royal commissioner Catherine Holmes has requested a one week extension to her inquiry’s reporting date.
This is so she can make referrals directly to the new national corruption watchdog, NACC which starts operating July 1, 2023.

You shouldn’t have to pass to be safe going to the bathroom. The moral panic around trans people in bathrooms does not do a thing to deter actual predators but it does lead to the harassment of the type of gender nonconforming cis women that anti trans types claim to protect.
🚨🚨🚨 Holy shit: A group of parents in Tennessee are OUTRAGED that a local school board caved to a conservative group and cancelled a librarian’s Mother's Day lesson inclusive to kids without moms.
The parents boldly confronted the Hamilton County School Board and held nothing back:
One dad said, “This is 2023. I'm a Christian man, married to a woman, but I think everyone should be represented fairly. If you want to keep your kids in a closet and just shelter them from everything, homeschool them. Send them to Christian school. This is a public school for everyone. Everyone. I've dealt with that woman. She loves these kids.”
The organization Moms for Liberty is a right-wing organization that campaigns against social progress and civil rights. They target local school board meetings and has deep connections to the Republican Party. Moms for Liberty also promoted stripping districts of protective COVID-19 measures and are bad news.
Thank you to these brave parents for speaking out! 💙💙💙
Reminder for recovering “good girls:”
1. You can stand up for yourself and let someone know you won’t tolerate certain behaviors.
2. When someone is rude, you don’t need to laugh it off or pretend it’s ok.
3. “I don’t find that funny” lets people know that joke didn’t work for you.
4. You’re not too sensitive because you express how you feel.
5. If someone doesn’t accept your answer, it’s not a cue to keep explaining. It’s a sign they don’t respect boundaries.
