Me in Australia: finally something we’re ahead of everyone on

If the UK had a preferential voting system the Tories would have won a lot more seats

Zillenial or younger millenial

It feels like our public health systems have gone backwards since covid. Not because we don’t have the skills and resources, but because of ideology.

I’m a trauma researcher. So many people shouldn’t have kids.

I have a bachelors in psychology so was able to pick based on my understanding of approaches. I knew I didn’t want CBT, so went with an ACT psych instead. Mine is also a developmental psychologist so I knew they’d be more likely to understand neurodevelopmental disabilities than your average psychologist.

I’m Audhd and pretty much use my psychologist for all of this.

It’s interesting that people want daylight savings in qld during summer because we spend most of summer wanting the sun to fuck off.

Fuck this was depressing to read. Validating though.

Amazing public relations campaign if this is all part of a marketing thing.

The boomers have been really successfull in simultaneously punching down across the generations and making us punch down on each other at the same time.

We have a small population and mandatory voting means everyone gets a vote by default. We also have a different culture around voting because the majority of us have to do it. We have sausage sizzles and democracy dogs. I’ve personally worked at polls all over my state and there’s never been a line longer than 10 people. It takes most people like 5 mins max to vote. We make voting easy in Australia because everyone has to do it.

It’s worth noting that it’s not all that mandatory. It’s relatively easy to simply avoid enrolling to vote. You’re not automatically enrolled in other words. Also it’s really easy to just sign your name off at the poll and hand in a blank vote. The worst outcome of not voting is a fine that you can pretty easily get out of as well.

Gonna throw a hat in the ring here for the British Empire as the king of genocide.

As an autistic person that’s a double fuck you from me

Wonder if he got this advice from his dog

Wholemeal is the best

Subjectification. People normalise what’s normal for them.

Surely this is intersectional though right? Not all men are the same or have the same experience of political issues. I can see how straight white cis men might feel like these spaces aren’t for them. But queer men might feel differently about this. Black men also.

Also if you feel like existing spaces aren’t for you, then free to create your own spaces. There’s nothing holding you back.

We do the queen/king’s bday on a different date to whatever the current Monarch’s actual bday is. Surely we could just do the same thing with any of these other dates.
