@rachelbaxendale What a muppet show. There's a trail of tangled puppet strings leading to Pesutto, isn't there?

#BREAKING: The man who ousted Moira Deeming has been forced to withdraw his candidacy following revelations he provided a character reference for a convicted child sex offender, throwing the Vic Liberal party’s preselection process into turmoil. #springst theaustralian.com.au/nation/victori…

Recent pic of @jeff_kennett and @JohnPesutto talking politics.

I'm not from your side of politics, but I want to thank you, @MoiraDeemingMP. You stood up and spoke out unequivocally, without linguistic chicanery, for women, children, and safeguarding. Wishing you and your family strength for the next chapter. Go proudly.

@Women___Exist 100% right. I’ll even put it in gender-speak for fiction believers: 1000000%

Khelif is a man. He is a man, male in every nucleated cell and with a Disorder of Sex Development that only occurs in males. He beat up women on the world stage. You seem to be endorsing male violence against women.

@jonkay Canada AND Australia holding hands together on the International Comedy Festival stage.

Canada is now the comedy relief in international news

When a creepy man who pretends to be female fantasizes about "12 year-old female athletes spreading their legs all over the world" he is telling you about his porn habits, not about sporting regulations

After today's excellent decision by the IOC.,if the Rio 2016 women's 800m. was held today, the 3 medallists in my photo. Wambui, Niyonsaba & Semenya would be barred and the medals would go to Canada's Melissa Bishop, Poland's Joanna Jozwik & GB's Lynsey Sharp @AthleticsWeekly

Recognizing all peoples' humanity is recognizing what humans are. Humans are an immutably-sexed species. No human transcends sex. Male people are boys and men. Female people are girls and women. Women are fully-embodied FEMALE human beings who exist in material reality discrete of all male people.

@msjlindsay I don't think I'll read a more perfect sentence today!

Mr Huxley has knocked my polling card off the fridge and started eating it. x

@BevJacksonAuth @virrals 100%. The ruinous ideology of 'gender' broke hearts. Help kids build stronger chambers with more expansive ideas of girlhood and boyhood, where within them live wide and varied expressions, with room for courage and gentleness, difference and dignity, held without fear.

@virrals My heart breaks for children who have been told they need drugs and surgery to be “their true selves.” What a vicious scam!

My heart breaks for trans kids in the UK. No access to healthcare, forced out of clubs and spaces. Bullying, bigotry, a total lack of awareness and understanding from everyone you meet. Abandoned by the NHS, schools, and the government. An uncertain future. It's so wrong.

@swearysnork If finances allow, consider a short stay in an area you’re interested in and explore services you might need. I moved from a noisy metropolis to a rural setting rich with birdsong and native landscapes. Have a crack and courage will build.

How old is too old to move to another area? If anyone has stories I would love to hear them.

@CAMOKAT6 Did you get much of a crop of tomatoes? My yield was underwhelming but the flavour was good.

Picked almost the last of my tomatoes today. One was so huge I weighed it - 360 grams!! Bubbling up into soup now 😋

@fem_mb Oh my hat, that's my second cousin!

This Dr. Seuss-looking creature is a Lesula monkey. They live in areas of the Congo so remote that they were only discovered by the scientific community in 2007. They have eerily human eyes and bright blue backsides.

@angijones My money’s on Marty Feldman in the middle

My dogs get the left over cucumber and carrot tips when I’m making a salad. They love them, even fight over them. I grow veggies in pots on my deck and yesterday I decided today would be the day I pick my precious last cucumber as we are heading in to winter here. This morning I grabbed the garden scissors and went outside to pick my little home grown organic treat. It was gone! Here’s the 3 suspects. I’m betting it was Agnes, the white one on the right.

@Juanita30622990 @MsCarriggofreal @Kat4e4 If vulnerability is a factor to shield trans identifying men from violence in prison, where does the State hold ex cops? Gays? Informants? Elderly? I'm open to a conversation for a Vulnerable Unit somewhere else because this particular offender group are still men. Not special.

@MsCarriggofreal @Kat4e4 were at Dame Frost female prison today. We had good conversations with women driving past stopping to ask why we were there. And yes they agree that men do not belong in female prison's. #streetactionvictoria

@msediewyatt I've had to wipe the spluttered coffee off my laptop screen. I effing knew Deity Wyatt was just too good to be true! Your response to that drop kick Moogee was ace.

Ok so my New Year’s resolution to stop swearing hasn’t gone so well today. Tomorrow is a new day, I’m going to stay away from stupid people.

@thatazuresea On my screen it looks more ‘reclaimed wound-dressing’ than ‘romantic tea soaked’. I hope you’re able to see it irl!

@fem_mb @WellsJorda89710 2/ So from afar, please know this: you’re not alone. You’ve got a friend in me.

I thank you for this, Reverend Wells. It has sadly seemed that most black people do not stand with Jews now that the world has turned on us. After Jews spent nearly a century fighting for black civil rights (and some were even killed by the KKK for it), Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam spread the lie that Jews ran the trans-Atlantic slave trade. And just like that, everyone forgot about 90 years of Jews fighting for black rights, and we were deemed the enemy who had been oppressing blacks all along. Now when we need the support that we once gave to the black community, we have unfortunately found many black people among those abusing us and blaming us for all the ills of the world.

The Civil Rights Movement as we know it would have died in the cradle without Jewish Americans. Fact: Jews co-founded the NAACP in 1909. Fact: Jewish money kept the lights on (sometimes over 50% of the budget). Fact: Jewish lawyers stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Black lawyers in every major case, from Brown v. Board to the Montgomery Bus Boycott. They didn’t just “help.” They bled, marched, got arrested, and wrote the checks when most white America wanted us both gone. So when I see people online spewing “Jews are the enemy,” I remember who had our back when literally nobody else did. As a Black conservative, I will NEVER forget that debt. I stand with Israel. I stand with the Jewish people. History didn’t stutter, and neither will I. 🇺🇸✡️🖤
