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

Wholemeal is the best

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.

It’s the holiday equivalent of those oversized American utes

Human civilisation feels like it’s regressing.

These companies have entire public relations departments that can see the writing on the wall. The people who want to celebrate Australia day as it currently is are dying out / becoming irrelevant. Millenials will soon be the largest generation. Sure there are still millenials that have no problem celebrating Australia day, but they are increasingly in the minority. Even moreso in gen z.

Personally I don’t even know if i think the date should be changed anymore. Maybe it would be better if we embraced Indigenous Australian’s experience and treated it as a day of mourning. Essentially, stop cebrating on this day and treat it more like rememberence day. A day where we reflect on the ongoing impacts of colonisation and commit to rectifying injustices. A day of truth telling. I’m happy to go with what Indigenous Australians think is best.

Yeah 100%. You can see the change just in gen z’s attitudes towards this. The rallies are also getting bigger each year.

I’m honestly surprised it lasted this long / hasn’t been vandalised before.

I think the whole thing as is (vandalised and all) should be put in a museum. History is not linear or static. We actively create and engage in history each day. Vandalising and pulling down these statues is not erasing history but rather contributing to it. If the statue gets cleaned and fixed then that is arguably an act of historical erasure.

Cause he was a colonising cunt who represents colonial cuntfuckery. There’s a reason white supremacists put him on their Nazi flags. He was also a child rapist.

Really wishing I had A/C right now

Fuck yeah Germany!

Can we please just have a good ending with this one where the Germans protest the nazis out of town. The world kind of needs this right now. Please Germany, show us that anti-fascist resistance is possible and history is not doomed to repeat itself forever.

I’ve been wanting to read his work for ages! Thanks for the recommendation, looks like a good one to start with.

Human rights apply to everyone regardless of whether they engage in crime.

Rewatching it’s always sunny in philadelphia for like the 50th time.

More war. Not necessarily WW3 but an increase in the number of proxy type conflicts.

They should take the third season over to FX.
