Photo shows young white woman in a white tan top with from the river to the sea in black all caps text. She’s flanked by security or police Text of X screenshot: An 18-year-old woman in Queensland faces two years in jail for wearing a shirt that says "from the river to the sea." In Australia, you can bankroll mass murder and sleep fine. But wear a shirt that says "from the river to the sea"?Two years in prison.

I was told that a bombing campaign is needed to free her from a fascist government that controls what women can wear.

Pure copper Ingot (made from copper wire apparently) one of two items in this seller’s list. Couldn’t help laughing!

Post from Lauren @NotABigJerk I'm not falling for that hot take. That's clearly someone with a fetish for getting yelled at. I refuse to participate in that kind of perversion.

The BBC are really going out of their way to not call these The Peter Files.

Bleak House serial numbers

hard cover volume of Bleak House

These are the same "book"

Worth forever reiterating that most of the "long" novels of the 19th century were not received as long at the time, but generally as subdivided shorter works, sometimes something we would consider more like a comic book than a terrifying doorstop.

St Patrick's Day is Ireland's national day. 9 .. It marks the feast of our patron saint and celebrates Irish history, Irish music and Irish culture. Everyone is welcome to celebrate with us. Ireland has always been welcoming. But the day should remain about Ireland. Turning St Patrick's Day into a global "celebrate every culture" festival misses the point. Every nation deserves one day each year that honours its own heritage. Ireland deserves the same.

Over on X, the everything app, after getting bored harassing a fun run, and Dublin Zoo, they've now turned their attention to a regional St Patrick's Day parade for being "inclusive".

Volunteers and organisers are being targeted for harassment, and already a sitting TD has joined in on the pile on.

Kneecap and Bob Vylan suffered more consequences than Israel has for an actual genocide.

Endless appetite for cruelty

The Irish govt have fallen for this trap. The Minister for Justice just said it’s not his job to be sensitive. To be clear, it very much *is* his job to be sensitive.

As a professional of 30+ years who, for example, once had to run with the right paper & pen in hand to manually cut-and-paste a correction of one misspelling on a hand-drawn broadsheet page of cartoon strips, 5 minutes before it was shot for print & that was probably read by 3 people, I ask again…

A place under the end of a very prominent pedestrian overpass that used to be safe, accessible and open but is now expensively caged so homeless people won’t sleep there.

Looking down Third Ave in Kamloops at the Lorne St intersection, with pedestrian overpass on the right. A place under the end of the overpass is expensively caged so homeless people won’t sleep there.

Anti homeless architecture is policy in action, the expression of a city’s position. Kamloops says a lot of words about helping vulnerable people but:

most of my anger towards dems is they repeatedly invoke this trope and then do not govern, either in majority or minority, as if it was true. whereas i actually often do believe it and believe the responsibility to act like it’s true extends past the first week of november

i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly

Keine Entschädigung: Flugzeug in Linz gepfändet Eine nicht geleistete Entschädigungszahlung der irischen Billigfluggesellschaft Ryanair an eine Frau hat auf dem Linzer Flughafen nun eine kuriose Konsequenz nach sich gezogen. Ein Exekutor brachte in...

So because #Ryanair in 2024 treated a passenger to a 13-hour delay and €890 in costs for a new flight, and then simply ghosted her, an Austrian court today impounded one of its airplanes at Linz airport. ooe.orf.at/stories/3345...

New NHS England Review Excluded 97% Of All Trans Studies To Say Care Doesn't Work The new review has led to a ban for HRT through the NHS England system under the age of 18.

1. A new NHS England Review excluded 97% of all trans care studies to conclude that trans youth care doesn't work.

It explicitly violates several guidelines around reviewing literature, and appears to be politics masquerading as (shoddy) science.

Even though I'm an economist, I wish there was more focus on the human suffering from this war and less focus on the economic consequences. Hundreds of little girls are dead, and we're worried about oil prices.

So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?

Post links if you can.

Buy stuff if you can.

They hate when people stand up.

there is a direct relationship between growing conspiracism and attacks on public servants, because conspiracy theories give people a psychological and moral license to mistreat other people, especially agents of the state. the library crusades were an obvious, naked example, but far from the only

not mentioned in this piece, but in December, serial vexatious litigant and conspiracist Patrick McGreal entered the Court of Appeal during a hearing and tried to carry out a citizen's arrest on a state solicitor

I'm sure multiple of the incidents recorded by the Courts Service were his doing

FfG building over the bones of babies, hiding the State and Church's violence against women and children under cement, all while denying the remaining victims the redress due to them.
I want a more compassionate government.
