@DifficultBloodyWoman

Great to see some Aussie based feminists here. I feel quite alone in my views in real life in this country.
Yep. I tried to talk to my friends recently about safe spaces and women’s sports. Was called transphobic. Tried to explain again at a later date. They finally got that I was coming from a feminist perspective but was told “I’ve never heard anyone else talk like this”

I’ve bought some green white and purple paints and some luggage tags and amg going to start ribboning :)

Amen to that!

I absolutely agree that none of the leaders would even bother to think about women’s rights, it is pathetic. It makes Claire Chandler all the more brave and inspiring for having the courage to speak out.

Thanks @Tisha0 I have seen things Claire chandler has said and she’s doing a fantastic job. Any fantastic women voices are such a minority in the ALP, and my guess is leadership do. Not. Care. I don’t have to guess really, they tell us as much every chance they get these days.

Still awake here in Los Angeles. Calling all feminists! Are there any on patrol here in the City of Angels?

Morning!

Askmeaboutpins · 14/08/2021 01:22

I'm here, late to the party, but about to head to bed. 'Night all!

dyslek · 14/08/2021 01:12

Feminists are waking up all over the plannet!

PickAChew · 14/08/2021 00:20

Barely. G'night.

@DifficultBloodyWoman I don’t think these issues get any airtime here except by Bernard lane that I know of! Although there was an article today about the council in WA that refused to allow women only swimming sessions - largely multicultural population, very un multicultural council, who presumably thought you don’t need those and voted 9-5 against. So frustrating.
I do like that I think it’s our Vic state labour govt seen to be opening/planning a trans refuge, some beds for refuge seekers and some for people who’ve had to travel for transitioning surgery and need somewhere to stay. That dedicated space seems a good idea.
No other good news in oz I know of for feminists especially not anyone who works in parliament Grin

Sitting on my deck again, while overhead two male hummingbirds fight it out over the feeder (which has four places on it for hungry hummingbirds) and the male mourning-doves annoy the bejesus out of the female mourning-doves who just came here for a quiet supper.

It's a good thing human males don't behave like this, isn't it, girls?

AMCoffeePMWine · 13/08/2021 02:35

C. I live in Las Vegas, NV, so it’s dinner time here. But yes, I’m awake (and deciding whether to hail my arse off the couch and cook, or order in)

Reporting for duty, Ma’am.

@Comingoutfighting

Am quite looking forward to sleeping s I had a brilliant dream last night. And hoping to continue. women all over the world joined together forming huge armies to get the world in order...images of women in all direc5ions, woods fields hills mountains in boats. Sadly the reality when I woke was the same old shit, and more, so now awake worrying..
Let’s make it happen!!

Evening from Oz :)

Looks like MN is becoming the Empire upon which the Sun never sets!

Igneococcus · 12/08/2021 07:04

I always wake up with the sun, curtains or not, I sleep very little in summer.

Off to Glasgow in an hour for the first time in 1.5 years, very excited.

FannyCann · 12/08/2021 06:51

Ugh. Cats fighting woke me up half an hour ago and now it's time for work. I wish I wasn't awake.

I do love the idea of @ShitShop at 01:24 having a pre-emotive breakfast.

C here too! I’m awake and having tea and toast as a preemptive breakfast so I don’t have to bother in the morning

Reminds me of when I was a student doing nights. My friend and I discovered how to make the best chocolate sauce for ice cream - melt roughly equal quantities of dark chocolate, golden syrup and butter. Maybe slightly lower ratio of butter.

We had vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce morning and night for a week. At 9am after work it was supper. And at 7 pm after sleep and before work it was supper. Wink

Me.On holiday and can't sleep.

Tisha0 · 12/08/2021 04:49

Hi All! We are in the last month of winter here, and today is 25C. In 6 months I’ll be melting. 🥵☀️☀️

LadyFuHao · 12/08/2021 03:39

I'm stuck awake nursing. Send help 😴

You're never too old Anon! If you think it won't be worth it that is one thing but don't let age impede you! ♡

Not 'people timing', just 'timing'. Duh.

Aparallaxia · 12/08/2021 02:46

Evening all. Saying hello from my deck in sunny California. Wasn't so sunny today but I'm not complaining. I have ME/CFS, stuck at home a lot even before the pandemic, so a Zoom meeting sometime with fellow GC women would be great. Obviously as there are people in Oz and on the Left Coast as well as in Blighty, people timing might be hard.
