What is this [S T A N D] going to do? Once its crossed through the barrier, what's it going to do? When it comes in here, and reads my [P O S T S], what's it going to do to me?
Absolutely stunning op. Now I'll just go back to sipping lattes and not wanting to work hard, and you know, crying into said latte since I just read this.

that "Eat the Boomers" article from a few pages back has gained enough traction they were talking about it on triple j this morning. Apparently it is doing the facebook rounds pretty heavily.

Not that I think that will mean it will change anything, but the groundswell is there.

Yeah, I shared it and so have a heap of my friends. I mean, it's a slog, but for once it actually has a pile of numbers and other things like that. I'm defs gonna try and make my dad read it the next time I get the whole "welcome to the real world" spiel I've been getting for the last 15 years. I know he does it jokingly, but still, *whabam* numbers.

I spose even in the current media culture you can't pull this sort of thing and get away with it. Good to see him actually get suspended rather than just hand waving it away, because while crazy, most of the stuff it said was pretty horrific dog whistling.

Re super chat : what's the general opinion of uni super? Most of my cash is with Australian super, but when I worked at a uni last year they just used that one by default.

And gently caress the hard right of the lnp, all this stuff around safe schools is so depressing. And just constantly ignoring all the money spent on chaplaincy and their form of brainwashing. But no, good Catholic kids don't kill themselves, just those dirty gays. Uuuuuuugh.
