I regret to inform you that Daisy Cousens has written something some advice for Caleb.

quote:

It’s summer. You’re a young(ish), virile, stallion of a man, oozing confidence and charisma. The days are hot, the nights are long and the weekends full of sun, sand and seemingly endless barbecues. But most importantly, the girls are – in a word – loose. For some reason, the word ‘relationship’ has slipped from the vocabulary of every eligible maiden, replaced by ‘Tinder’, ‘One-night stand’, and ‘Don’t call me’. For the fast-paced, bros-before-hoes kind of man, it’s the perfect season to indulge your thirst for fun and love of debauchery.

Then autumn hits. Holiday frivolity is replaced by early bedtimes, dark mornings and the grind of the nine-to-five. But most unfortunately; the girls are, well, different. A quick one-nighter borne of a mutual understanding is replaced by a slew of post-coitus text messages, demanding to know why you haven’t called. Drunken nights morph into awkward afternoon coffee dates. And everywhere you look, even the most stoic fuckboys are pairing up. Your social life is in ruins, and you have no idea what went so horribly wrong.

So why this inexplicable shift in the cosmos? Everyone seemed to be having plenty of singleton fun just a month before. Well, you’re not going crazy. The sudden scent of sickly romance is what the cool kids call ‘cuffing season’. That is: the time between the start of autumn and the middle of winter when humans become desperate to find a snuggle-buddy for the colder months. The term is a loose BDSM reference to handcuffs; people want to be ‘cuffed’ to someone who will keep them warm in winter.

Cuffing season isn’t some weird fad. It’s an actual thing, and when put in context makes perfect sense. In America, for example, cuffing season begins around September and ends in early March. Given the below-zero temperatures, social activities can be almost completely eliminated. Who the hell wants to spend a night at the bar when you’d have to drive through a blizzard to get there? It’s not hard to understand why Americans want something to do when they’re trapped at home by an ungodly polar vortex. Especially if that something happens to be someone. Cuffing season also coincides with many of their major holidays; Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. You know, the occasions where Great Auntie Mabel infallibly asks her most promising heirs, “So, darling, why don’t you have a girlfriend? Do you not like girls anymore?”

The term is a loose BDSM reference to handcuffs; people want to be ‘cuffed’ to someone who will keep them warm in winter.

Australians, however, are a little bit different. As our major holidays coincide with summer, our modus operandi varies. We’d rather be unattached for the holidays, finding fulfillment through pure party spirit. Our preference for pairing up is associated with the nothing-months in the middle of the year, when we want to occupy our time with ‘Netflix and chill’.

Also, the numbers don’t lie. According to a 2015 poll from the dating app Hinge, men were 15 per cent more likely to be sniffing around for a relationship in winter than in any other season. However, during summer, men were 11 per cent less likely to couple up. Women, however, are pretty much equally clingy all year ’round. In winter, they were five per cent more likely to want a relationship, and five per cent less likely in the warmer months.

Now, all of this is fine if you’re the kind of guy who’s looking for a relationship. However, if you’re more of a no-strings-attached type of guy – the kind who likes his conquests with a side of see ya later – this is a disaster. Yes, five per cent doesn’t seem like much. However, it could easily be the difference between a wild night with a clean, mutually happy break in the morning, or emotional texts, progressively angry voicemails, and obscure, tear-emoji-ridden Facebook posts denouncing all men.

As a woman in relationship, I can confirm that regardless of what single ladies say during their morning affirmations, it is impossible for women to have meaningless sex. We release more oxytocin (aka the ‘cuddle hormone’) during intercourse than men, which makes us biologically prone to getting nonsensically attached. Ever felt vaguely guilty for assuming women are clingy? Don’t, because we are. No matter what the cranky, neo-Marxist feminasties preach, women by and large prefer emotional, loving sex to a don’t-kiss-me-goodbye romp in the hay.
During cuffing season, we are especially prone. However, there are rare exceptions.

If you’re a guy who’s seemingly immune to the cold weather urges, it is possible to avoid the perils of cuffing season. You just have to find those exceptions to the rule.

If you’re a guy who’s seemingly immune to the cold weather urges, it is possible to avoid the perils of cuffing season. You just have to find those exceptions to the rule. I would suggest a woman over 45, divorced at least once. She’s good fun, takes care of herself and after years of experience, knows her way around a bedroom. Not only will she be happy with a hump and dump, she’ll probably be the one kicking you out of bed as soon as it’s over.

Your second option is a puma; a woman between 26 and 34 who has a thing for younger men. You know, like a cougar but younger. She finds the social taboo of being schlonged by a younger man a thrilling one to bust, and would rather put a notch on her bedpost than a shiny rock on her left ring finger. The downside to pumas is they’re not interested if you’re over 25. So, college-age Casanovas; get in while you’re young.

But let’s be honest. Eventually, gentlemen, it is most likely you will want to find a nice woman, settle down, and pop out a couple of kids. I know many an erstwhile man-whore who can attest to that. When such desire hits, you can put cuffing season to good use. By frequenting small places of gathering during autumn, you can use women’s heightened sense of snuggly-ness to more easily catch a mate.

But while you’re happy flying solo, beware of cuffing season. Stick to the divorcees, the pumas, or even the recently-broken-up-and-on-the-rebound. Otherwise, you might just find yourself unwittingly cuffed until spring rears its beautiful, sexy, very much welcomed head.

Melbourne MP Tim Watts says his office has received dozens of "tongue in cheek" requests for free portraits of Queen Elizabeth in the last 24 hours, but he is firing back with some "nationhood material" of his own.

Mr Watts said the requests came flooding in after a report by Vice Media that highlighted the little-known "constituents' request program" which allows for voters to receive free "nationhood material" including flags, recordings of the national anthem and images of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, just by asking their federal member.

"I can say before the story was published, I had received zero requests for portraits of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth," he said.

"The last 24 hours, I would say about four dozen.

"I think 99 per cent were tongue firmly in cheek."

In response, Mr Watts said he was perfectly entitled to use his freedom of speech to send extra materials back.

"I've chosen to respond to these tongue in cheek requests with a bit of nationhood material of my own from Melbourne's west," he said.

"Some portraits of [retired Western Bulldogs captain] Bob Murphy and [former prime minister] Julia Gillard, some Australian Republican Movement membership forms and an invite to our Wattle Day barbeque at Williamstown beach."

Mr Watts is not the only MP to be inundated. Mayo MP Rebekha Sharkie wrote she had received 25 inquiries in 12 hours.

He said MPs were not legally obligated to provide the material, the legislation just created the ability for them to source the nationhood material.

The Labor MP said there was merit behind the program, with many schools and community groups acquiring flags and the constitution for various reasons, including educational purposes.

"Usually people request flags when they're representing Australia overseas for sport or school or community groups," Mr Watts said.

"Very frequently I give out Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags and I think that is a worthwhile thing to do for our community.

"It's not all the farce of giving pictures of Liz [Queen Elizabeth II] and Phil the Greek [Prince Philip]."

Technically that was a hearse.

How could a book written in the late fifties by a rabid Christian patriarch be relevant to the treatment of indigenous Australians in the 21st Century?

A good question with a sad answer.

The Aborigines of Australia, J.W. Bleakley, Jacaranda Press Brisbane 1961.

page 244-245 posted:

The conclusion of the war and need for rehabilitation measures created many problems for the Native Affairs Branch. Plans were made for :-
(a) Additional Appointments to the staff.
(b) Establishment of Government stations on reserves to provide technical and domestic training to fit the natives to take a useful part in the industrial life of the territory, and also develop the resources of their own reserves.
(c) Assistance to Missions to develop economic pursuits to equip their people similarly.
(d) Co-operation with Health Department in measures for effective health and medical care.
(e) Assisting patrol officers to acquire training and graduation in Anthropology.
(f) A more effective policy on education, expert teaching service, necessary school accommodation.
(g) Requisite accommodation on reserves and missions for education and economic training.
(h) Reservation of areas in the inland for the benefit of desert tribes.
(i) Promulgation of new ordinances and regulations.

Unfortunately, the report for 1947-48 indicated a feeling of frustration at the usual procrastination at headquarters in Canberra. Apparently, the Darwin administration had no power to take any action until matters had been placed before the Minister for his consideration and approval.

Progress had been retarded by delays in filling staff vacancies, supply of building and other material.

The same story was repeated over and over again - Would have worked except, Progress was astonishing until unaccountably all support was withdrawn, The entire settlement, that had existed in harmony for 50 years was uprooted and relocated because of a local view that the land was too good for the occupation of natives. That (Appropriate allowances for the mental fucktations of a rabid Christian patriarch) policies well established SEVENTY years ago are significantly in advance of the approaches currently being taken is beyond shameful. Next time you see someone wringing their hands about the plight of our poor indigenous folk point out the answers are not only known but well understood. The questions only remains, Why the gently caress aren't we doing them?

Speaking of:



Lol! Maybe those farmers wouldn't be so hosed up if they could actually access the internet.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
The Berejiklian government is facing a High Court fight ahead of the March 2019 election after the peak body for the state's trade unions confirmed it would challenge new electoral funding laws that threaten union members with jail time for engaging in joint election campaigns.
On Friday, a coalition of six unions led by Unions NSW filed a High Court challenge to the laws, which dramatically curtail the amount of money third-party campaigners such as trade unions can spend in the six months before an election, including on television and radio campaigns.

Previously, third parties could spend up to $1.28 million but the laws impose a new cap of $500,000.
The unions will argue the laws, touted by Premier Gladys Berejiklian as a means of preventing undue influence and corruption in the political process, infringe the implied freedom of political communication in the Commonwealth Constitution.
Professor Anne Twomey, a constitutional law expert at the University of Sydney, said the new laws "significantly reduce the capacity of third-party campaigners to be heard" during an election campaign and it may be "difficult" for the NSW government to justify the changes.

The laws, passed in May, also prevent third-party campaigners banding together or "act[ing] in concert" during an election campaign to pool their resources and exceed the expenditure cap.

A jail term of up to 10 years applies if a person participates in such a scheme in order to circumvent the cap. A maximum two-year jail term applies to other contraventions of the laws.
