minors can interact but like. please don’t be weird about it. also please block my nsft tag if you’re a kid

one more time! “social construction” does not mean “fake”. “unpack the concept” does not mean “fake”. these things are REAL but they are also SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED. and any social construction is going to be open to the same biases that exist in the culture that concept comes from

health is a social construct, but I can still get sick. gender is a social construct, but you can still be a girl (if you want). sexuality is a social construct, but my best friend is still gay. money is a social construct, but I can’t go to the bank and tell them to make me a millionaire

how were you taught to remember the order of north-east-south-west as a kid, and where are you from? I’m Australian, and I learnt “never eat soggy weetbix”

wait, why that order though? north-south-east-west is how i’d default to listing off the cardinals, but i don’t recall the order ever being an important thing to be taught.

because that order also reminds you about the compass directions. start at north then head clockwise around until you land at west, and that’s the way the compass works

the most important politics ever (light hearted): arnotts biscuits are getting smaller and with less filling 😭😭😭

nooo not the shrinkflation hitting arnotts. devastating!

Albo met with all the Premiers and Chief Ministers (all except ONE are Labor) to discuss the housing crisis and came away touting the AMAZING decision to protect renters by limiting rent increases to once every 12 months!

.... something that is already in effect almost everywhere in Australia! Except Western Australia, but WA Labor had ALREADY announced months ago they were going to do that!

Wow!

Very little has come out of this except a nice press release!

That annual rent increase IS STILL UNLIMITED. It could be $50pw it could be $500pw - there's literally NO LAW TO STOP THAT (except in the ACT where, oh look, Greens have more influence as Labor is in an alliance because they're a minority government. Hmmm... maybe the solution to the problem is more Greens in Parliament.)

always remember, friend,

now go in peace

also I still have smart things to say about auspol, it’s just that I’ve been busy and tired and brain foggy. if people want me to talk about a specific thing, you can always ask! otherwise I’ll probably leave the creative thought for uni + DSA stuff

btw i need you all to see this incredibly evocative picture i took the other day of a seagull struttin his stuff and a random ass. armchair on the beach

this is telling some sort of story but alas i cannot read the language

biiiig into letting people define themselves. I truly believe that bad faith actors are edge cases and also make themselves known pretty quick. if you feel like a word may refer to you and you are comfortable with that word. go apeshit!
