I had no idea that Palmer thinks he's backing the next PM - so I had never asked 'Who the Hell is Suellen Wrightson?' luckily we have Chrys who asks just that and explores who this (not a hope in hell) potential candidate is https://chrysstevenson.com/2025/04/13/who-the-hell-is-suellen-wrightson/

Really, this should be big news everywhere. Irresponsible behaviour.

This is worth a read:

There’s all sorts of anti-trans shit in the world right now.

But you know what?

I still have zero regrets I transitioned. I have zero regrets about the medical procedures I’ve done, the HRT, or anything else I did in transition. Only that I waited so long to start (but we all start when we are ready!).

Indeed, I am alive today, while I was dead inside before. Even with transphobia, I am glad I am me today.

And to anyone reading this:
There is still time.

So how’s it going so far?

Zuck is now saying that people who are leaving his platforms are “virtue signaling" After he literally signals his “virtues" by allowing people like me to be called mentally ill or worse.

At this point if you claim to be an ally and you are on Meta platforms, I am looking at you side-eye. WORSE if you are telling people to go there.

Watch out for the waterfall!
The Wannon Falls holds a special place in my heart. It sits, well, it falls, between Hamilton and Coleraine. The old township of Wannon is home to Mallangeenba, the Wannon District Scout Camp, a spot that I’ve spent many hours in over the years. …
