  1. PSA for #Australians with access to #Britbox

    #DoctorWho … all the classic episodes - all of them - Doctors One to Seven - they are all there on Britbox now.

    I have no idea how long they will be there, but knock yourself out while you can.

    * apologies if this has been posted recently - I am still only part time on the #Fediverse and may have missed it.

  2. Hated ‘dining tax’ to cost Aussies $50m

    Australians will spend millions more this weekend due to holiday surcharges. Picture: NewsWire / John Appleyard Australians will fork out another record amount this weekend, as one of the most hated bills returns for those dining out. Money.com.au research for Ne…

  3. CW: A little everyday #USA #sweary

    #microsoft just forced me to read this. It is apparently relevant to the Job I Do For Money:

    Learn about new commerce

    Partners now have a choice:
    + They can continue to purchase traditional, license-based services.
    + They can purchase through the new commerce experience.

    Partners who decide to transact with the new commerce services need to familiarize themselves with how the new commerce license-based services work.

    #Australians. Do one thing everyday to rid yourself of USisms. Step away from these moron fascist dickheads.

    When someone brings you printed #American #horseshit, take out a crayon, scrawl "horseshit" across it, and hand it back. Don't waste more time. You can mutter darkly if you want, but it'd be better to spend the freed-up time going outside for a walk.

    Aaaaaaand, just in case some #MS flack is forced to follow Mastodon (the fuck, you poor bastard)

    'Transact with' is not a phrase any human uses, you are possibly looking for 'buy'? Though who the fuck knows?

    'Partner'??? We pay you money. That doesn't make us 'partners'. If we shared a house, bed or bank account, maaaaaybe. Otherwise? Ewwwwwwww, gross me the fuck out.

    'Familiarize'? Shove your Websters dictionary up your quoit. Yes, the 1944 war-paper one has blunt corners, you can make it easier on yourself I *suppose*. All of it in one go if you please. Need a mallet? Fair enough.

    'new commerce license-based services' I just have no fucking idea what this means. I am replacing it with 'hernhernhern' in the hope that it makes more sense. Ah that's better.

  4. A confronting 1-hour #documentary about #refugee policy in #Australia, The pivotal action of the documentary is the 2002 #Woomera refugee prison outbreak

    – after months of #protests, including hunger strikes, 53 refugees escape during the Easter protest, supported by hundreds of outraged #Australians. After witnessing the outbreak the audience is invited to consider the complex issues arising from this border crossing; in particular the diversity of constructions about protest, #activism and the success of #directaction.

    Holiday Camp (#Adelaide/ #Hamburg 2002) investigates the current Australian immigration policies, in the context of 200 years of #colonization, connecting the issues of indigenous #dispossession, #genocide, and the #incarceration of refugees.
    It explores the implications of the mandatory #detention #system and the construction of national borders. ‘Holiday Camp’ challenges us to consider what risks do we take…

    Holiday Camp - how is your #liberation bound up with mine?

  5. The #Voice was developed with grassroots consultation in the #Aboriginal and #TorresStraitIslander Community.

    I don't know if gaps between #ATSI people & the rest of the population will close faster with the Voice speaking to Parliament.

    But I have hope.

    I also know that how we have done things for years has failed many ATSI people.

    So I will vote YES to the Voice. Because it is what ATSI people have asked for, and because I believe in hope.

    I hope other #Australians who read this do too.
