Praise the mutilated world
and the gray feather a thrush lost,
and the gentle light that strays and vanishes
and returns.

Histories of Fascism and Anti-Fascism in Australia

Histories of Fascism and Anti-Fascism in Australia provides a history of fascist movements and anti-fascist resistance in Australia over the past century.In recent years, the far right has become a resurgent force across the globe, resulting in populist parties securing electoral victories, social movements organising on the streets, and acts of right-wing terrorism.

I’m wondering if y’all can help me build a community of trans people of colour on the tag #TransPOC as i miss the wonderful people i knew on a different animal themed app.

Yesterday was the 10 year anniversary of the #MurrayDarlingBasin Plan #MDBP

It was supposed to do a lot do things to return water to the #river so it could survive, but it hasn't. Years of mismanagement by states is causing the river to die.

One drag queen did more to stop the gunman in Colorado than hundreds of cops could do in Texas. We should put one drag queen at every school, clearly kids would be safer.

wow now that you're here and not on the bird site go read about Guy Debord, Situationist International, and the society of the spectacle and think about the differences you're seeing in a community run social media instance versus on a consumerist engagement trap.
