I'm so tired of seeing men make comments that are literally just a rewording of the original post written by someone who isn't a man.

Just stop doing this.

Not only isn't it necessary, but it pushes the harmful idea that nothing is valid unless it's rubber-stamped by a man's explanation of it.

* inb4 - I know there's going to be some man who will think it's humorous to do that on this post—it's not funny. Don't be that guy.

@Yuvalne - I'm not sure.

I tried searching, and got one result suggesting it was Wolfgang Rattay for Reuters, and another saying it was Tobias Schwartz for Agence France-Presse.

I can't see a post of the image that attributes a photographer specifically so I'm not sure if any of that is correct or if even both are a google hallucination.

This is why I love photo journalism.

Trump, ICE set to be handed access to Australians’ biometric data, ID documents

The Albanese government is giving the Trump administration and agencies like ICE access to Australians’ biometric data — and we’re not being told anything about it.

Ok, but I NEED someone to draw an ICE car being hit with a molotov cocktail.. and underneath it says:

GAMING 101:
ENEMIES ARE WEAK TO THE ELEMENT THAT OPPOSES THEIR OWN

(if you draw this, please please let me see!)

The covid discourse amongst poly and kink communities is fucking wild.

Y'all act like a simple sti is a death sentence, demanding people show their paperwork before play, discussing ending relationships with people because they contract something like chlamydia, ostracising people with HIV from communities... but you won't put on a fucking mask?

I'm so tired of explaining why **I** don't personally attend events and hearing "you can't live in fear, covid is here to stay, get over it already" bullshit in return from people who have just engaged in a 2000 comment post about how there should be an app to track people's sti status.

It's so weird seeing masto shitpost accounts steal jokes.

Like just hit the retoot button, my guys.

There's no algorithm. Nobody is getting monetised.

Christmas is an entire year away and people already have their decorations up??

Settle down already.
