Not really vibing with the mouse on the israel flag, it reads as antisemitic. With the Mouse comic in mind, depicting israel as mice and palestinians as cats is giving me yick
I love this artwork, its undeniably sweet, its just a weird thing that stood out
i ought to go to sleep
thats my boy 😇
I also read this
The media was also a target.
On identifying myself as a reporter, I was requested by one group to denounce Israel and Zionism, and told by a young woman in a wheelchair and face mask to “f… off” because in her view The Age was the publisher of “pro-genocidal” content.
I think piggies still arrested a few people for no reason yesterday, even though these protests are some of the most family friendly and chill events I've ever been to
In what appeared a blatant attempt to skirt the warnings, dozens of protesters waved banners that appeared to be very similar to the flag of the terror group. One green and gold flag – colours that represent both Australian sporting teams and Hezbollah – depicted Australian outlaw Ned Kelly holding a gun above his head.
Under the image of Kelly were the words: “The boys in green and gold will win.”
[...]
Alex, an attendee who also had the flag, told The Australian he was simply a “sporting enthusiast” who was backing “the green and gold”. “I’m just a sporting enthusiast who is supporting Ned Kelly and the boys in the green and gold,” he said.

Im not sure where youre at in relation to transition, but in my experience, a lot of the issues i was having with my body image just fell away after i started hrt and my mind calmed down. Also reading about other trans people was helpful, transgender warriors specifically
as for normal and happy, theyre not really an all the time kinda deal, a normal distribution still has its highs and lows, hang in there comrade
Thank you comrade!
Congratulations comrade! Best wishes to your family
Look, Im all for personal liberties and the like, but consider deleting this

Ive seen articles from the early 20th c detailing a rudimentary understanding of greenhouse effects from carbon dioxide lol
As a woman, my identity is tied up in how i am different from men, this is normal
lol
I waa talking about half a melon which i really regret not getting to eating, but im fortunate enough to have a little yard with a garden, so i can compost at home
I absolutely take no issue with your system though, worst thing happening from that is some rat or dog eating it

I've started reading Stalin: History and Critique of a Black Legend
Whenever I start reading a book I end up losing hours of my life in the footnotes, old mate Thomas wasn't perfect, but he certainly had some banging quips about nazis.
Those who, as the crisis of the Grand Alliance unfolded, had begun to compare Stalin’s Soviet Union with Hitler’s Germany, were harshly rebuked by Thomas Mann. What characterized the Third Reich was the “racial megalomania” of the self-styled “master race,” who had implemented a “diabolical policy of depopulation,” and even before that was the eradication of culture of the conquered. Hitler had thus adhered to Nietzsche’s maxim: “if one wants slaves, then one is a fool if one educates them to be masters.” Directly opposite was the orientation of “Russian socialism” which, by massively spreading education and culture, had shown that it did not want “slaves,” but “thinking people” and therefore, to be in spite of everything on the “path towards freedom.” It was, then, unacceptable to compare the two regimes. On the contrary, those who argued in this way could be suspected of complicity with fascism, which they also claimed to want to condemn:
To place Russian communism and Nazi-fascism on the same moral plane, in that both would be totalitarian, is superficial at best, fascism at worst. Whoever insists on this equation may well consider himself a democrat, in truth and in the bottom of his heart he is in fact already a fascist, and certainly only in a hypocritical and insincere way will he fight fascism, while reserving all his hatred for communism.”

“I added the owl to it before I put it into the Darling Prize and I suppose it brought me good luck,” says McKenna. “I kind of identify with the owl as an animal. I don’t really know why. I suppose in some ways I like owls in that you very rarely see them. They lurk in the background a bit and I am a little bit like that myself. I’m quite an introverted person, so the owl is me, really.”
edit btw you can access the entire age website through archive.md, pretty much every article will be archived everyday, if you want to get mad reading the age
I think hexbear.net is a safe space to be online for transpeople, nobody's perfect, but this place is alright
I did just see the 'grr cheaters' thread from last fortnight, and haha wow, there's some people on this website who need to 'touch grass', (I hear the grass is nice in Siberia)
in lighter news: I realised I've been using neo pronouns ('ey/'em/'er/'im) and its just because i speak with kind of a drawl or something
