is my birthday!🎉
this year around the sun has been awful in many ways, but wonderful in others. i wrote the equivalent of three books, had surgery for my PMDD, finished my degree, got obsessed with tennis, and realised i’m trans and started hormones!
would love for y’all to check out my books!👇🏻

Review: Yes, we give you permission to hate-read 'American Canto'
Political journalist Olivia Nuzzi has dazzled the media with scandals, but her prose is less sparkling. Her much-anticipated new memoir is rife with arrogance and thin on sourcing.

This is one thing Australia really excels at: exploiting vulnerable migrant workers, abandoning them to destitution and denying their human rights. The PALM scheme is not much better than slavery www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...
Thousands have left Pacific worker scheme and are stuck in visa limbo
Pacific Islanders have been leaving Australia's guest worker scheme, a decision that breaches their visa conditions and leaves them "extremely vulnerable".

this is the moral panic
the idea that a story, painting, drawing, video game, or other creative work that depicts uncomfortable topics is the same thing as real life CSAM or violence against women is how we end up having to scan our faces to open Spotify

Alright well probably last thing I’ll say about it. Horses was submitted in 2023 with a Minor in it. Valve: “we will not distribute content that appears, in our judgment, to depict sexual conduct involving a minor.” “Re-submissions of this app, even with modifications, will not be accepted.”

As some of you are aware, part of Dragon Age day was to thank the DA Devs for all the hard work they put into the series we love so much.
This is also the first DA Day where we have no DA team, as they were laid off earlier this year.
So let's make an effort to support their new projects!🧵

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms
you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

Australian here. that plan whereby we increase the number of working people in the country is called immigration
Trump on policy proposals he's looking at to raise the birthrate: "There's a certain Australian plan that people are liking and they're talking about. You know what I mean? There's a plan where, not for children necessarily, but it's for people. Working people. And we are looking at other things."
