absolutely do not take advice from 4Chan, my boyfriend doesn't keep me warm, i'm warmed by my hatred of the bourgeoisie, and then I keep my boyfriend warm

but seriously I read into so much stuff like this before I started hrt and its all so anecdotal it's bunk

yeah I've experienced this but I think its because I spend so much time in fascist spaces :/ do not recommend

Melbourne's been popping off, multiple rallies a week with 10k people, these offices have been occupied multiple times, proud of my local comrades.

I feel so bad getting caught up in the misogynistic whirlwind around Courtney Love when I was younger, god she's incredible. This video was so uncomfortable to watch but over all pretty damn entertaining lenin-laugh

while this nice, Shawn was apparently a real fucking creep back in the day. here's an article describing experiences with Lauren Lane (who played c.c. Babcock) from filming an episode of the nanny

not sure if this is the one I read, so general content warning for SA, workplace harassment and etc

the media went to a huge effort to promote the idea that Lidia Thorpe was isolated, a lone loony, screaming obscenities over nothing, when in reality there were plenty of Indigenous groups who took the same, or similar lines. Articles just last week declared that people supporting Lidia specifically were switching their votes to yes at the last minute, when those same people had been rallying for a yes vote for months.

there's even an example of Darebin council asking their long standing Indigenous advsory body what stance they should take on the voice. When they came back with there's a diverse array of views, please dont take a stance, the council, filled with feelgood bourgeois party members from the greens and labor, sought a second opinion and backed the yes campaign.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but your comment, and plenty of conversations I had with other people just ooze a kind of white mans burden energy. The colonial government shouldn't be taking away the agency of indigenous people, it should be giving them back their fucking land.

it's the gay marriage plebiscite all over again, the amount of time and energy that went into this, when they could have given it to us with the stroke of a pen. it's not a once in a life time chance to change things for the better, it's a distraction, something for laborites to give themselves a pat on the back for a job well done.

here's a video interview with the president of BPU if you're interested in hearing more

beautiful comment, thank you mate!

you reminded me of a conversation I had around when the voice was announced (it might have been a lecture). Aboriginal people have been so completely obliterated that they dont have treaties amongst themselves. Any pittance forced on them by the colonial government completely ignored this fact.

when Europeans arrived there were 100s if not 1000s of groups across the continent, a ceremonial body made up of two people (a man and a woman no doubt, how sweet, it's almost like a performative little show for white people to gawk at) was never going to be any other than a farce.

Anyway I've just woken up so i'm filled with bitter rage, and my original point was to try and remind people not to give up hope.

solidarity, fuck the colony.

here's an article from the Black People's Union relating to the referendum, they backed the no vote

https://www.blackpeoplesunion.org/articles/conning-us-into-recognition

it feels weird being on the same side as racists, but I did support my comrades in BPU by voting no. yes there's a lot of upset and intense emotions around this, but we can't kid ourselves into thinking this performative reformist bullshit would have made any material difference to Indigenous communities.

Indigenous people weren't asking to be recognised by the racist constitution.

dont lose sleep over nothing comrades, get active in your communities where-ever you can and fight for real change.
