Children of asylum seekers, who grew up here as our friends and neighbours, are being blocked from university just so Labor and the Coalition can get a cheap political hit. So much human potential wasted. Let’s be better, and welcome them instead. abc.net.au/news/2024-11-24/y…

Hooda would love to study nursing or become a police officer. Right now that's 'impossible'

Despite completing schooling in Australia, the children of asylum seekers are often counted as "international students" and cannot afford the fees to attend university.

No this actually happened. Even years AFTER World War II ended, the US government punished people who had expressed “premature anti-Nazi sympathies.” Meaning they punished people for having correctly opposed the Nazis before the US had officially joined the war against the Nazis.

Starting to think people probably did oppose the Nazis but were shouted down for being too mean about it.

The Albanese Labor Government has delivered the first back-to-back surpluses in nearly 2 decades. Our surpluses help fight inflation, pay down Liberal debt, and made room for cost-of-living relief for people under pressure. smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

Jim Chalmers to deliver first consecutive Labor budget surpluses since Paul Keating

The federal government will use the figures to argue it is keeping inflation at bay.

Obsessed with this project in Northampton Station – they’re trying to collect a ticket to there originating from all stations in the UK. Surely some of you enthusiasts would travel there from somewhere random just to help them tick a box?? 🚆
A plaque that reads, “All Aboard to Northampton All Aboard to Northampton is a collection of train tickets from railway stations all around the UK to Northampton. Elliott Badger, Retail Travel Advisor, came up with the project and the station team at Northampton are fully on-board! The big challenge now is... can we complete the collection? White tickets represent tickets we are yet to collect... can you help us? Have you, or are you intending on travelling from any of the stations on these boards? Green tickets represent stations where individual tickets do not exist.”

A wall that says “All aboard a to Northampton” with lots of tickets in cases but spaces between them with missing tickets.

Incredible news. It's been discovered that Dora Richter, the first gender reassignment patient, survived Nazi Germany. She fled to Bohemia after the Institute of Sexology was looted. She changed her baptism record and lived to 74. I'm so happy for Dorchen.

I have a theory about why the Sydney Metro has been creating such a moment in the Discourse. Australia has always been in a state of transition, between where we are, and where we're going. Sydney Metro is a glimpse into that future - and how it could be could be very good.

"The penis is not the source of violence. It is mobilized in service of violence under certain gender norms, under certain gender regimes... So maybe we need to think a little bit more about where violence comes from, because like you, I don't want to be threatened by violence."

“If gender is to liberate us, why can't I, as a lesbian, have a dick-free space? A space that is for women only, without penises?”@AmandaKovattana asks Judith Butler. “I think you can do that in your home.” Yes, Butler literally told lesbians to stay home & the audience cheered

In 2022, I saw a therapist bc I kept feeling like ppl hated me. My therapist asked me to name specific ppl, but I couldn't, so she convinced me it's all in my head. A year later, my Twitter account blew up, and multiple legacy media outlets wrote stories about how I'm annoying

Really funny and embarrassing that once you get more than like a thousand followers on here you find out one day that there are complete strangers who fucking hate you

I made a mini medieval feast for us and a couple of friends from the 14th-century English cookbook, 'The Forme of Cury'. And I wanted to try 3 that made use of spices from around the globe - galangal, ginger, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon - showing the complexity of medieval cuisine.
