Just a post to recognise the bravery of Brittany Higgins and Grace Tame. It may seem random but it is not. Today, the Grace Tame Foundation board revealed Grace's legacy organisation will close. This news is devastating. We need more small activist-led NFPs and charities working to end violence against women and children in Australia. They can make a real difference where larger organisations cannot. I have no doubt Grace's voice will never be silenced and she will forge her legacy under her own steam. But still, to lose the foundation is a blow and one that will take time to heal from. Also today, the final chapter closed (legally speaking) for Brittany, with the High Court of Australia throwing out rapist Bruce Lerhmann's final attempt at retribution and for silencing her. Lerhmann faces another rape trial toward the end of the year. Thinking of the woman at the centre of that case today as well. Photo via @marieclaireau




THINGS PILOTS KNOW THAT PASSENGERS DON'T 1. Turbulence has never brought down a modern commercial aircraft. 2. The safest seats on a plane are toward the rear. 3. Cabin air is cleaner than the air in most office buildings. 4. Pilots are legally required to eat different meals in case of food poisoning. 5. Most flights carry more fuel than officially needed fear of fuel shortage is never real. 6. Autopilot flies more than 90% of every flight, but pilots are always monitoring. 7. Lightning strikes planes regularly,it's designed for it. 8. The brace position actually works. It's not a myth. 9. Phones in airplane mode don't affect navigation,it's a network congestion rule, not a safety one. 10. Dawn and dusk are statistically the safest times to fly. 11. The crew dims cabin lights before landing at night so your eyes adjust immediately in case of evacuation not for atmosphere.


Boomer here. I bought my first house after ten years of saving like crazy. And the interest was 14.5%. I don’t know where kids got the idea that they were due a house and new car at college graduation, but that’s NOT how it ever was.



what opinion about men do you have that makes people feel like this?

What is it called when elected officials don't represent us at any level, silence us when we try to speak out, use our tax money to fund things we deeply oppose (AI data centers, foreign wars, genocide), all while we f-cking starve? Just curious.
