Boonta Vista has potential to be a pretty swell podcast but they need to do a bit more writing in advance so as to be able to discuss bad things in a little more detail than

"...so yeah. Pretty great" *crickets*
"....yeah, not the best" *crickets*
"Wow" *crickets*
"That's what you like to see" *crickets*

They are all very, very awkward and it goes beyond endearing to unconditional love for a useless child

Questions are too hard. I don't identify as a feminist in the same way I don't identify as a black power advocate because I'm not black or a woman. Does that make me some squibby poo poo like an "ally".

The best way I've heard it put and the approach I now have is that I won't presume to speak on behalf of feminists but I would hope the women I know would describe me as one.

See Also: How the Liberals turned the Newstart allowance into a massive handout to their friends and benefactors.

I figured it had to be something else, because my JSA has nothing but some chairs and computers that don't work and very, very aggresive word documents stapled to the wall that literally say like, "YOU make your LIFE choices, THE economy and YOUR past HAVE NO bearing on YOUR FUTURE, we choose to have our ATTITUDE as GRATEFUL AND POSITIVE everyday"

I was with them for a while and they were pretty alright to me, but branches and staff vary.

At least they actually..saw me, unlike uh, I think it was Global Skills. Had an appointment with one of the staff at 11, got there at 10:30. "Oh just search on the computer while you wait" (of course said computers were totally grody and I was neutropenic). 11:30 comes around and the staff in question walks past the front desk, says "I'm going to lunch, be back in two hours" and just sauntered off. I did the same about 30s later. Fuckers.

It is a deeply hosed by design system that's younger than we are, institutionalised to redistribute resources away from the people who need them, and genuinely should not be tolerated
