@KaliNyxSpeaks @DoNoHarm79 The claim you made earlier was about WA primary schools. Your link doesn’t answer my query: which WA primary schools teach gender ideology? The link you shared is health dept, not primary schools.

@jan_ruscoe @DoNoHarm79 gdhr.wa.gov.au/before-you-sta…

And the other 43% of Victorians 🇦🇺 also oppose ‘gender’ ideology being taught to children in primary schools but are too scared to admit it.

@KaliNyxSpeaks @DoNoHarm79 Resources aren’t the curriculum. Primary schools teach about changes in the body.

@jan_ruscoe @DoNoHarm79 Yeah there are extra resources i couldn't access. Im waiting to hear back from a teacher to see if theres anything else.

My thoughts, exactly.

@KaliNyxSpeaks @DoNoHarm79 Here’s the curriculum - it’s public and anyone can see it, not just teachers. k10outline.scsa.wa.edu.au

From what I can see on the teachers resource pages its part of the curriculum in schools. I will ask teacher friends to access further resources I cant access as im not a teacher for you if you like. Pm me and I'll follow up. Im not sure how enforced it is in WA but we are still pushing forward with the education despite the evidence against it.

@KaliNyxSpeaks @DoNoHarm79 What primary school in WA teaches gender ideology?

I reckon in WA our stats would be higher. Ive been making my rounds chatting one on one with people I know and I have only met 2 people who just dont want to talk about it and are on the 'just be nice' train. They are sensible people and if they decided to chat they would be on board. Its tough being patient when kids are being harmed 🤬

@KaliNyxSpeaks @DoNoHarm79 What school in WA teaches gender ideology?

@innejf Done.

Hi team. My son needs to do a research project for school. If you can spare a moment to fill in his form I would be super grateful. It’s an Aussie specific question. forms.gle/SbHKbP3x8WFWEQ…

@newstart_2024 Both parents should be the primary attachment and should be able to work part time to parent.

Steven Bartlett asks the uncomfortable question every employer faces: “What do I do? Give people three years off when they have a kid?” Erica Komisar’s blunt answer: “Give them as much time off as you possibly can — men and women, whoever is the primary attachment figure. Then give them real flexibility: part-time, job-sharing, working from home, leaving early. Accept that parents with young children won’t stay as late as childless employees. Tough. Life isn’t fair. Healthy children matter more than perfect parity.” The early years (especially the first 3) are the critical attachment window. Prioritizing parental presence isn’t just nice — it’s foundational for emotional health, resilience, and long-term societal outcomes. Employers & parents: Should companies be expected to accommodate long parental leave and flexible hours for young kids, even if it creates imbalance with childless staff? Or is that asking too much in a competitive world? Your honest take 👇

@PhilHazell1 Thanks, Margot!

Morning Fam, I just noticed Margot has ordered you a peachy keen day ❤️

@LeeKurtiss @newstart_2024 30 years ago hubby and I parented 50/50 then used 2 days a week of family day care. We liked our kids, our jobs and our incomes.

@newstart_2024 And of course it's ALWAYS the woman who has to ruin her life for this-- it's NEVER the man staying home changing diapers on screaming children 24/7 with no adult contact?

Jordan Peterson drops a truth most modern families don’t want to hear: “Daycare under three — especially in the first year — is really not advisable. There isn’t any form of care that can replace a mother’s care in those early years.” He calls it “quite remarkable” that we’ve engineered a world where staying home with young children has become a luxury for most families — “as if by design.” Decades of research (still largely unchanged) shows the critical attachment window in the first 3 years is uniquely supported by consistent, responsive maternal care. Disruptions here correlate with measurable increases in stress reactivity, behavioral issues, and later emotional difficulties. The question we’re afraid to ask: Have we made motherhood incompatible with economic survival on purpose? Parents (especially moms of young kids): Do you feel this pressure — that staying home feels like a luxury you can’t afford? Or have you seen the difference in your own children between early daycare vs. being home those first years? Your honest take 👇

@JonShaner @BicycleAdagio My hubby has a regular bike and I can barely keep up with him! But I prefer the idea that you must be licensed rather than any kind of ban.

@BicycleAdagio I ride with a group of old guys on Saturdays. 2 of us have pedal assist bikes, but we stay together at 15-20km/h and you would hardly know which of us have them. So I really don't plan to change my habits at all.

New legislation in Queensland means riders of legal pedal-assist e-bikes will be required to hold a state learner licence, despite these vehicles being no more dangerous than regular bikes. How this works for visitors or tourists to the state is anyone’s guess. Ridiculous.

@bowtiedmeathead @StrosBro She can do a trade, join police force, fire fighter etc.

@StrosBro So if my daughter hates school and sucks at it think it makes sense to encourage her to go to college?

My wife and I were talking the other day about potential career options for my 15 yrs old daughter who really struggles in school and is likely not college bound/material. For guys it’s easy… Don’t want to go to college, pick a trade or figure something else out such as a police officer, firefighter etc. It’s not as easy for girls. I think she would do well in sales since she is attractive, has the personality and is extremely social (spends hours everyday talking on the phone to all her friends). For parents with daughters who aren’t on the college path…what are some real, high-income career options you’ve seen work?

@Mlu__N2 It‘s boring, but it’s not hard. I don’t have enough items in my entire house to do that many loads of washing!

People underestimate how hard this is.

@ShaunaDale18 @SandyHorne61 We had planned a trip to Albany today for this but the fuel situation has put us off. We don’t want to affect supply for locals and we don’t want to get stuck there! Enjoy - it looks beautiful.

@SandyHorne61 Or it could be magic Sandy. We have a light installation here for the next couple of weeks. It’s pretty special, so I’m sending magic your way. This is from my verandah

I'm doing it. I'm going out birding. I should be conserving fuel but I really need this. I want to go & see the godwits before they migrate (any moment!). Some are in their breeding colours. But the little black cloud hovering over my head is telling me it'll be a waste of time.

@KMFollett No because I actually listen to music if I have music on, it‘s not just background.

I never play music while I’m writing. That’s not because it distracts me. On the contrary, I’m so deep into the imaginary world that I just don’t hear the music. How about you? Do you listen to music while you work?

@adam_voigt Thanks Banquo, but I‘m not interested in hitting kids or sending them to be hit by someone else 😬

We semi-regularly get comments like this on our socials. Those with hyper-traditional, past-facing and punitive views re how schools should handle complex students should look sideways occasionally at the company they keep. It’s too often these creeps who get off on hitting kids.

@mikesalter74 I‘ve had colleagues escorted offsite for not paying the TRBWA one.

Forgot to pay the NESA fee again this year (I'm getting too used to automatically junking their emails), and look what I got today. Consider the language. Is it clear why I've referred to it, from day one, as a protection racket?

@dodona777 They do.

Is this a stupid question? If banks hike up interest rates for borrowers, why don't they also raise the interest rates on peoples savings?

@TheNextSummitA1 Everyone‘s purpose is different.

Hot take: Hiking with headphones defeats the purpose of being in nature. Agree or disagree?
