HRT is unavailable again. My male, middle-aged pharmacist told me it's institutional misogyny perpetrated on a global scale and he's absolutely furious about it. I hope the women in his life appreciate him.

This is Pearl. She is beauty, she is grace, she hopped a little too low for her face. 12/10

Twelve years sounds like such a long time but then one day, you’re at the very last day. You come home from the vet’s and your twelve years of love is now a block of time, cut out from the rest of your life. It’s already in the past and your little friend has gone.

The look: I swear I didn’t do anything! 😂

A phone call from a rural GP simultaneously managing a snake envenomation and delivering a baby is my regular reminder that I will never be that cool

there should be a "take your friend to work day" so we can actually see what our friends do all day and meet the characters from all their work stories

He changed his mind.. 😂

A Statement for Our People and Country.

This statement on the failure of the Voice Referendum is dignified, powerful, moving and horrific in its implications. We agree with every word. We ask all followers of MFW to read and absorb every sentence, particularly Points 7, 8 and 9 which specifically discuss the mainstream media’s role in the amplification and legitimisation of the NO vote. These 3 paragraphs are incredibly illuminating in that they rightly place the failure of the referendum squarely at the feet of the same people MFW’s mission is to expose, fight and reform: the media. Not just social media and not just bad-faith actors like LNP-aligned commentators, but the ENTIRE mainstream media who all amplified lies; gave liars unfair airtime and column inches; and have refused to this day to even acknowledge their own part in the failure (in fact, they’re STILL lying). And that they did this purely for profit, the appreciation of their own mates, and/or their own self-promotion and self-enrichment makes their actions even worse. They prosper via the pain and hurt of people their own company mission statements (let alone their own consciences) should cause them to champion. It’s unconscionable and barbarous. We wonder how any of them will deal honestly with the information clearly set out in this letter or if they will (as expected) continue to minimise their role and lie about how this debacle occurred. We wonder whether the untruths they’re still communicating about Dutton and other bad faith haters (who couldn’t have achieved anything without the eager and even rabid re-telling of their lies by those who had huge reach and microphones) will continue in the face of this exposure of their bastardry. If there’s anything positive for witches to take from this sad document, it’s that we are a collective whose main activity for the past seven years has been to fight media hate and lies, particularly where those lies involve oppressed people. In fact, we’re the main organisation in this country undertaking this work, and by far the most successful. This vindicates the importance of our work; makes us proud of our work despite the hate and lies we ourselves constantly attract; and makes us more determined to work even harder to combat the terrible destruction and pain wreaked every day by almost every Australian media organisation in this country. The harder they defend themselves and use the pages and airwaves they own to deny the truth, we know it, and so do all witches. The media failed Indigenous people and it failed all of us. As this letter says, Australia is a smaller, meaner, dirtier and sadder place now than it was before October 14th, and the reasons for that are crystal clear. For these reasons and others, we all have to work harder. We have to continue to fight the lies and reform an industry that will not and cannot reform itself. And that’s just what we intend to do. To the brave people who wrote the statement below: thank you. Your courage and truth-telling after the blow you’ve endured is remarkable, admirable and humbling. We’re still so sorry about the result and will do our best to cause that pain to inspire and energise us so that one day in future when Australia is again asked to stand up for the rights of others they might do so on the basis of truth and justice, not ignorance and deception. And that’s a witchy fucking promise. #ToYourBrooms #PunchDownProfit

every so often it hits me just how modest the referendum ask is. all we are being asked is whether to recognise our first peoples and give them a voice that can’t be taken away. so simple. it’s so easy to say yes… and so heartbreaking if we say no. #VoteYes

@tasmccullagh @blakandblack Me too!

I was handed this today at a polling station by a lady who said “vote no to a divided Australia” I politely accepted and asked the lady concerned how a Yes vote would divide the nation, her response amounted to “Warren and Jacinta said that it would.” My rejoinder “would you trust what those two had to say on any other issue? Man do I love the sound of silence … music to my ears 👂 🎶 🎼 🎵

For 250 years we haven’t listened to the people that have been here for 65,000. This is our chance to fix that. #yes23

@deemadigan Contributions like this help, too, IMO

We don’t deserve the @TheMatildas #Tilitsdone

@AMA_WAPresident Congratulations on your new role Michael

Congratulations to Dr Mark Duncan-Smith on finishing his term as President of AMA (WA). I’m looking forward to advocating for our members, patients and the community in all forums - including this one!

Your friendly reminder that this ‘date’ so many are intent on holding on to, wasn’t a national public holiday until 1994. Indigenous people have been suffering since 1788. Change the date

I’ve been thinking about the ‘doctors defraud Medicare’ piece for hours. It’s my considered view that it’s a shitty piece of investigation. Not because doctors don’t defraud Medicare - a minority do; this is abhorrent. But because most of what’s in the piece isn’t fraud.👇🏽

On this day in 1975, Gough Whitlam gave back land to Vincent Lingiari. One hand was held out to another, and as the red earth flowed between them, it was a turning point - a unifying moment for our continent.

@JoshThomas87 Good bye John 🌈 Meeting you convinced me to get my Cavoodle who changed my life.

We said goodbye to John The Dog yesterday. He had Lymphoma. We’ve spent the last month eating lots of treats and sitting in the garden with our friends. I’m sad but very grateful I got to hang out with literally the best dog in the universe for so long.
