Just a friendly reminder that just because politicians say the health emergency is over, doesn't mean the health emergency is over.

Did you know there’s a #DoctorWho #BigFinish audio series called “The Eighth of March” that celebrates the women of Doctor Who?

Featuring River Song, Leela, Ace, Benny, Vastra, Jenny Flint, Kate, Osgood, Romana, Lady Christina, Jenny, Jo, Rani, Jac, Amy Pond, Leela, Missy!

It’s also written and directed by women, so it’s a proper piece of work celebrating women.

If you haven’t already checked it out, I recommend you explore: https://tardis.guide/audio-series/the-eighth-of-march/

Goodbye Mouth App, you've been a big part of my life. I'm sorry nobody could save you. And now it seems you've been overcome by the server equivalent of global warming.

@Bongolian Thank you!!! I don't know why I couldn't find that myself 🤦

One of my favorite scientific discoveries in recent years is that among domesticated animals, dogs recognize the difference between themselves and people, but cats just think the people who live with them are terrible incompetent cats

Perhaps it’s just me
but as I watched
the President’s address
I could not help but think
that I was hearing
the sound of coughing
a fair amount of coughing
in that crowded chamber
filled with unmasked faces.

But as I said
perhaps that’s just me.

***BEWARE SPAM IMPERSONATORS***
Hi everyone! Please know that there are spam accounts impersonating people with large followers and popular posts that are REPLYING DIRECTLY TO YOU asking you “do you follow my personal discussion forum?” with a link to some fake website. I’ve seen a few just today and had not before.

Please report them and block so your server admins can permanently block them! Don’t click on the link either!

***Please BOOST to spread awareness*** And yes I’m real! 😂☺️

Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.

This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.

If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".

So #KeepFediWeird.

Scott Morrison has not only posted his response to the censure motion on facebook, he's also given it a title ‘Seeing Australia through the storm’.

I've got a better title: 'I'm an arrogant, narcissistic, dangerous, ignorant fruit-loop'.
