Not to any great depth. It’s the kind of news that’s very sparse and the language surrounding it is very disconnected from the subsequent asylum seekers. But otherwise not really, the news we get about Syria (unless we look for more) is more in relation to the asylum seekers heading into Europe. So there’ll be a fluff…

A lot a lot of it is simply complacency and ignorance. We as a nation have a really toxic view of asylum seekers because there’s these false notions that they’re not ‘real’ asylum seekers, but queue jumpers trying to get in. so this notion is spread and taught a lot, then the detention centres (such as Nauru and…

Here is the thing about Australia: We are wicked racist. I don't use that 90s slang to try and dull it down either, I mean we are wicked and cruel in our approaches to racism. We are also very forward in some respects, like the majority of our country believes gay marriage should be legalised and gun access should be…

I met a hot guy in a kilt once! In Scotland! That same day I saw a bunch of puppies on a farm. It was a really really good day.

I think there's a lot of pressure put on forgiving people who've hurt you especially, especially, if you're a lady. It's a social thing, people are uncomfortable with women being angry at someone, even if it's righteous. I'm not saying men don't experience it as well, but it does seem to be just more part of…

My advice is a good punt to the attacking dog. A few years ago this old woman in our area adopted her first dog and it was so big and aggressive and she had no idea how to deal with it. So of course, it attacked all the small dogs it could before animal services said lead or we put her down. She attacked our dog…

SAME ): my dog is 15 now, tiny little old man. he's been the family dog since I was 7, and each year we all just know it's getting closer. he's still relatively healthy, but it's like impending fucking doom we all keep bracing for.

Wishing Your DIL a good and safe recovery! Also your rampage would be 1000% justified.

his best friend also has. poor hygiene. doesn't much shower or wash clothes. his odour is less obvious, but still present if you stand close. it's a pretty stuck situation.

I do this to an extent as well. My period always breaks through (because ???? fuck me I guess love my uterus), but it is so nice to only deal with the cramps and pain and stuff like 3 times a year instead of 12. I was put on the pill to get rid of my cramps (sooooo bad) and luckily it worked out for me, so now the…

I have a school friend who survives on coffee and cigarettes. He's fine when his mouth is closed, but when it opens it's like a maw to hell has been loosened. I feel so bad, because he's a nice guy, but it physically makes me want to vomit. I have not said anything, because I don't wanna hurt his feelings, but I feel…

sorry, couldn't resist.

mate it’s a joke, a silly throwaway joke. you taking it this hard is also a joke.

yes, more than once. the first time when I was 14 and two men followed me in a car screaming at me after I told them I didn’t want to talk to them.

if my dog shits in the house it’s because a) he’s very sick and couldn’t wait and you can tell he’s really unhappy about it or b) the only other person in the house is my brother who ignored him for such an extended period of time that dog was left w no choice (playing vidya games w headphones - not even once).

yeah well yknow, women make up stories like this all the time. it’s always “he had me kidnapped and tried to have me killed” blah blah blah. did u kno that 99% of women being murdered by their husbands is actually just them LYING? false murder claims hurt men more than anyone. they’re doing it to get that sweet sweet…

nihilism is boring, political nihilism is boring and dangerous.

Okay so a) it is racist and b) that is transphobic and c) happens already (see the polish girl or whatever that movie was).

ohhhhhh nooooooo ):

but where did he get it developed?? was it a polaroid or did he actually have to go to like target or something and get a roll printed???
