Yeah, Lucian Freud is pretty boss. I’m lucky enough to have seen the original, it’s in the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra. I love the detail that he had to add a piece to the original canvas to get the full figure of the woman with the tea. That’s why it’s a weird shape.

Ugg(rtm) wasn’t able to prevent other manufacturers calling sheepskin boots “ugg boots” in Australia, because that was already their generic name. So ALL ugg boots can be called ugg boots in Australia, as is right and proper.

I like this painting by Lucian Freud. Three nudes, and the most graphic one is the man. I always think it looks like the aftermath of a failed threesome where the guy couldn’t get it up. He’s looking distinctly distraught, one naked woman is patting his shoulder in a comforting way and the other one is bringing

Why would terrorists want to attack the US at the moment? The government is paralysed, national institutions are devolving, women are oppressed, minorities are terrorised, the nation is deeply divided, the goddamn President is under investigation for being a foreign agent, the standing and international reputation of

Jesus. That’s reminiscent of the animation in Pink Floyd’s The Wall. I watch it every couple of years, and that animation never fails to make me say “Whoa, I forgot how fucked up this movie is”.

NEW GAME! Thanks for this!

Yeah, that’s what they admire.

I thought the same thing. If I make a FB status about how much I love my kids, my siblings don’t get butt hurt because I’m not loving on them. They aren’t so insecure that they have to be included in every affirmation of everything I ever make.

Our society conditions women to be abused, by teaching us that our bodies are properties that should be properly maintained (to attract the right buyer), that we never have full ownership of our body, and anyone (buyer) has the right to poke, prod, and comment on the property that they are considering purchasing. And

Justine Damond is not simply a white woman killed by police. She’s a white woman killed by a black, Somali man.

These fuckers predate dinosaurs. These fuckers rolled their eyes at those young whippersnapper dinosaurs, thinking they’re all hot shit with their evolving and such. Oh look, catastrophic meteor strike, dinosaurs all die, crocodiles don’t care. What’s this, weird little furry things, sweet, they taste better than

DROP CROCODILES FTW!!

I’m also willing to bet that (assuming he has ever actually pulled out his piece of paper), most of the women concerned Noped right out of there. You haven’t even got your bra off and he’s amassing evidence for when you accuse him of rape?? Fuck that.

Now playing

OH DEAR GOD THIS VIDEO WAS JUST ON THE NEWS THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT IN NORTHERN AUSTRALIA THIS IS A GIGANTIC CROCODILE EATING A FUCKING COW LIKE IT AINT NO THING

True dat. I’ll agree it’s counterintuitive that a rape victim would do anything but run in horror from their attacker, but there is a lot of evidence to show it’s very common. It would have taken the dickweed all of a few minutes to Google that fact, but no! Facts would interfere with his preferred world view. I

This is a fucking Supernatural episode. That place CANNOT be real.

If you’re camping around the ocean in Northern Australia, you have FAR bigger things to be worried about than Wandering Octopus there. Literally. Look up Salt Water (Estuarine) crocodiles.

Oh man. I find that fucked up and I’m Australian. The way that octopus oozes across the rocks is nasty.

I had one online interaction with a man who outlined the ridiculous (and probably fictitious) things he was doing to proactively protect himself from false rape accusations. Apparently he recorded the women reading out a statement that they agreed to have sex with him, and also had them sign it.

I recently had a protracted on-line interaction with a rape apologist over Emma Sulkowicz’s case (the woman who was carrying her mattress as a statement about being raped). He tried to tell me I was in the wrong for defaulting to believing the victim in rape cases. He cited Sulkowicz’ continuing to interact with her
