my 5yo said she was making a sign for her fort and I was expecting like "no boys allowed" or whatever, but in fact it said:

Rainbow lettered sign "everyone alowed in this fort"

🧵Spotted A little While Ago in Aotearoa New Zealand: A young human (9?) is listening to a busker play a rather good acoustic version of Dolly Parton's Jolene. She asks her mum, "Hey Mum, do you know what this song is about?" Her mum doesn't skip a beat when she answers, "Your aunt."

FFS! a lecture from Cormann, who got his job by using public funds to fly around the world.The guy who gave us the 2017 budget that decimated support for health, education, social services and decency. A leaner not a lifter! Still living a life of privilege on the public purse!

A fleeting expression of “rage” from Labor will make no difference 🤷‍♂️🤬 Israel will continue the genocide, apartheid and brutality. They will ignore Penny Wong and treat Australia with contempt. Grow a backbone, impose effective trade sanctions stand up for Zomi and decency

As if the billions in public funds flowing to elite private schools like Brighton Grammar wasn't enough, now they're pursuing sweetheart deals with councils to take over public land! Meanwhile, public schools struggle to maintain even the most rudimentary of facilities for their students. 😡

A screenshot from an article in the Age newspaper. The headline reads 'This school has a pool, tennis courts, soccer and cricket pitches. Now it wants the nearby public park'. The text reads: "A plan for an exclusive all-boys school to lease public parkland in exchange for upgrading the park’s facilities has split the community and sparked concerns it would lock up public land for private use.
Brighton Grammar School has applied to Bayside City Council for a lease on Wilson Recreation Reserve, which stretches across 1.7 hectares opposite the school and is one of the few areas of open parkland in Brighton."
