im really scared about things opening up. I have immunocompromised toddlers who are right now too young to get the vaccine. not all of us will be going back to normal. I hate the flippancy in which disabled people, old people, immunocompromised people are treated with.

Today is National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children’s day. All black lives are precious but especially our children.
Why do you not have the same empathy for ancient Aboriginal sacred places?
Ok white people cant even keep fish alive in a fucken river that we managed to not fuck up for thousands and thousands and thousands of years
I am so glad that girl is home safe with her family, I can’t imagine how scary it was. But I know there are blackfullas all over the country saying the same thing to each other this morning and I’m one of them.
At least once a day I’ve been like, oh, there’s a rapist in parliament. And then I’m like oh, there’s probably more than one. And then I’m like oh, there’s probably always been rapists in parliament. And then I’m like, oh yeah, that’s the history of colonialism.

There is no justice in this fucking place. My heart and rage goes out to all Warlpiri people and especially family and friends of Kumanjayi Walker.
extremely proud of this smart, funny and hard working fuckhead
Holy fuck, this is huge.

Uluru is a good example of why a lack of education is not the issue when it comes to race relations
I want people to think about every time they have been drunk in public and haven’t been arrested. How many times you have seen drunk White men make absolute cunts of themselves and no one calling the cops
Activism shouldn’t be polite and shouldn’t make those with power and privilege comfortable. The whole point is to redistribute power.
In personal news, both of my babies are home now 🖤💛❤️ thank you to everyone that checked in and supported our family. I can’t tell you how relieved I am
Splitting up families and stealing kids from their parents in not new in Australia.
I hate when I plug my phone in to my computer and my phone is like “do you trust this computer?” Bitch, that’s your big sister! Show some respect.
This isn’t an oversight. It didn’t slip through the cracks. This is deliberate.

I’m struggling with the discourse today. The government has refused to raise the age, covid feels insurmountable and all anyone is talking about is fucking Karen.
Sorting out your adhd diagnosis is like needing scissors you don’t have to open the packaging of your new scissors
Proud of my family for their protest amd occupation in front of a Gippsland cop show #blaklivesmatter
Hi everyone
We really need to talk beyond gendered binaries when it comes abuse stuff. It really misses the point and leaves a lot of survivors behind. Patriarchy is one of the fault lines domination travels along, not the only one.
Just paid off a five year old credit card. Feels good to pay a debt, Australia you should try it
I start my Bachelor of Arts again tomorrow for the second time. Wish me luck! Maybe I’ll actually finish the cunt this time :)
Look, I hate the shit hole of a country more than anyone and it’s ok to feel sad but the real question is what are we going to do about it?
Genuine question. How do Catholics trust their priests? Or the church for that matter?
It must be really nice to be so disconnected from white supremacy that hate speech is actually free speech and intellectual fodder for you t.co/9cqfwqcE1s

Apparently white South Afrikkkans dealing with their colonial history is enough to fast track their citizenship in Australia meanwhile a brown family in Gladstone is given ten minutes to pack their life up so they can be deported. Australia is so fucking painfully white.
I’m seeing a lot of stuff talking about how white people need dialogue and spend time with “diverse” people but please understand we may not want to spend time with you. Don’t feel entitled to it under the guise of your white heroes journey. Be less white. Unlearn your whiteness
We literally have a racially segregated response to this pandemic
Each year as Invasion Day rallies swell I feel like we are winning the hearts of the nation. More and more Australians question what it is they are celebrating.
Alan Jones incited violence and rioting at Cronulla and has been praised by several Prime Ministers since

Oh wow and you’ve fucking spoiled it again
We can’t replace cops with existing social services. Services that exist are structured around their relationship with cops and managing “risk”. Their frameworks are carceral. We need to think a bit more laterally here and not replace one white colonial structure with another.

Hi everyone, we have all received instructions from Yuendumu to not share things images or disparaging things about the man who killed Kumanjayi Walker. You might be angry and upset but the last thing we want is to jeopardise the case.
Alright you fullas, has been nominated for a Logie. Vote for the lad here: tvweeklogiesvote.com/overlay/logies

A twitter mob is trying to get me deplatformed. I think we can turn their hashtag into a force for good. Anti-white racism is often ignored because victims remain silent but it is important the truth get out. Use #WakeUpToRacism to share your experiences of anti-white racism.-PH

Fuck, not sitting around the Christmas table with my Mum’s sack of shit ex has got to be one of my big highlights of the year. You don’t realise how much the vibes deteriorate when you’re walking on eggshells.

Imagine building an entire career on the ideology that killed these people and then feigning sympathy for political points. Disgusting.

Today I met with Muslim community leaders to offer my support & to share their deep sorrow over yesterday’s horrific terrorist attack. This has rocked not only NZ but nations around the world, incl. ours. We stand together to condemn the hatred & intolerance behind this attack.

Fuck it is so normalised now to see people say they are doing intermittent fasting. When did we normalise not eating? The shift from diet culture to wellness culture is still as big a scam.
How will Australia curb its violent white supremacy. Blood is on white Australia’s hands tonight.
I have convict ancestry (John Bamblett) and I don’t understand the notion of celebrating or having a “happy” Australia Day. These people were deported for often poverty related stuff (to be fair you fullas still don’t care about that).
My greatest achievement has been pumping for three months and breastfeeding the twins for their first year.
Here’s me at 16/17 and still a bub. My brother is 14, my sister 12. Our fashion - horrendous. I know a lot of the rhetoric is “at least 14” but I look at all of us and can’t think that any of us should be locked up. No child should be condemned. Let our kids be free.
Fuck I wish people were made just as sad by brown people losing their homes to climate change as they are a polar bear
Voting down the bill regardless of whether it wins or not tells the people being targeted that you at the very least want them to live
Do white peoole saying “white peoole get killed from cops too” know that they too can organise around those deaths? Like no doubt those people were often poor or disabled or had mental health issues. Go fight for them if you care that much you ugly cunts.
I’m almost 100% certain I have licked drugs off of a toilet, so yes, you could say I will be taking the vaccine
It’s so weird how white settlers here are so proud of their convict heritage and can apply empathy to their ancestors but can’t bring that logic to the 21st century.
Thinking about those of Pell’s victims who are alive to see him die. Thinking of those who died too young because of the pain he inflicted.
Black women do not need to be exceptional to get respect. Black women do not need to be mothers to get respect. Black womens don’t need to be hot to get respect. Black women do not need to be strong to get respect. It is enough that we are human.
How are all the other adults who did Tournament of the Minds going?
The amount of white people who are very comfortable with entire blocks which are predominantly the homes of black people being turned into ad hoc prisons is so gross. You wouldn’t stand for it in your own house, why do you think it’s acceptable for African mob?
Organisers of these rallies have put together excellent public health resources ahead of this weekend. They have been far more efficient than the federal and state governments were in the first few weeks of covid.
Time to transition from my daytime pyjamas to my nighttime pyjamas
Yes, I have an underlying condition. It’s called colonialism.
We have so much to mourn. We were happy, healthy people with much longer lives on beautiful country. Who knows what we would have been in 2019. People who say things are better are applying their colonial white lens.
Two years ago celebrating something we didn’t want to have to win in the first place. The postal vote should never have happened. The queer and trans communities should not have been subjected to that. Anyway, here is the love of my life and I.
Dismantling white supremacy requires a lot of different kinds of work. I think much of it can be broken up to internal work and external work.
