Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol

As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.

So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men's jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.

just saw someone say "crazy how there's no landback movement in Australia". yeah that would be crazy. good thing it isn't true! you can find this out by googling "landback australia". or by looking at the following:

there is actually a pretty significant Indigenous land rights movement here in Australia. the language of "landback" is not always used because it was pretty thoroughly demonised by the Howard government (see: "they're going to steal your backyard"). for more on land rights:

these are both starting points rather than completely comprehensive guides or anything. but maybe do even five seconds of googling before making assertions about what political movements do and don't exist

semi-relatedly. a lot of well-meaning non-Australians often ask things like "I've started calling NZ 'Aotearoa'. is there an equivalent for Australia?". to quote AIATSIS, "there are more than 250 Indigenous languages including 800 dialects". the way we understand Australia as one single country is not the way Australia was pre-colonialism. there's not a singular equivalent name for Australia because there was not one singular country! instead, it's best practice to refer to specific countries (such as Naarm for Melbourne) where possible, and "the land now known as Australia" otherwise

Saying they might as well not even bother preparing for it, a study published Monday by Michigan State University found that the average American stands no chance against what’s coming. “Our data show unequivocally that the vast majority of Americans will be snuffed out immediately the moment it gets here,” read the report in part, adding that many Americans falsely believed they were ready for it when, in fact, they were not in any respect.
