Good news! Cigarette juice!
- Comment on NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal' 5 weeks ago:
For many people being disabled is a daily grind. Add poverty to that. They don’t get a holiday from it.

It’s important to acknowledge that when questioned about this decision, Bill said that he only knew of one case where NDIS money was uses for this purpose. While simultaneously saying it cost too much. I had such high hopes for this guy. But it turns out I was just ignorant about labor party politics. Now he’s off to his vice chancellor gig, to further the agenda of university as a business and not a vehicle for improving society. Fuck these old useless policitians pulling the ladder up behind them.

Also acknowledges the fact that those at the bottom of this awful economic hierarchy miss out on some of the things that “regular” people take for granted. You know, the basic enjoyments that make life bearable so we don’t off ourselves. Everyone should consider themselves one accident away from being destitute if they don’t have family wealth. Then consider what your life could be like in that scenario. A car crash happens, and then you could spend the rest of your life never touching skin with another person.

Vic socialists when possible also.

It also has a significant emotional dimension, which I think goes undiscussed too often. And ties in with feelings of self worth.

To all these commenters casting judgement, I challenge you to go 12 months without any sex or masturbation and see what that does to your mental health. Now imagine being physically unable to do that for the rest of your life without paid help, which you cannot afford. Otherwise fuck off.
- Comment on Bill Bailey on ABC Classic plays a theme tune for the Australian Ibis 1 month ago:
There were so many of them at the farm I worked at that they made them the icon for the farm’s produce. Coming to the city and hearing them referred to as bin chickens was weird. It’s more a reflection of our intrusion on their environment than anything else.

I was born in 1990, and the only people in my age group that I know who are buying houses are doing so with the help of family wealth. So long social mobility.

- Comment on Tupperware has filed for bankruptcy – is multi-level marketing in trouble? 3 months ago:
Australia sucks at recycling. When I lived in Germany the residential streets had separate bins for green, brown and clear glass. So it can be recycled while maintaining quality. Separating waste is a matter of social conscience.
- Comment on The rise of financial sovereignty — and why some Australians believe they don't have to pay tax - ABC News 8 months ago:
Taxation is not theft if the money is spent properly on services that benefit tax payers. Poor taxation policy is theft, since public service quality will diminish over time. Like what we are currently seeing with lack of investment in public services, combined with an asset owning class that doesn’t pay tax on its passive wealth, using that wealth to purchase more assets, which drives up prices and shrinks the middle class. If these people had better critical thinking they would rebel against that instead.
