Today in australia they started senate hearings on the bill the government hopes will make enough disabled people die or disappear to make us all less irritatingly expensive for them. We had two weeks to submit feedback on over 400 pages of complicated legal terms. They don't care what we have to say and they don’t care that this will kill people and disenfranchise disabled people across the country.

There are 760,000 Australians on the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the system that - if they feel like it and your personalised plan says you get to have it - provides funding for everything from personal hygiene care to support workers to therapies to assistive technology. It's already very hard for disabled people to get on the NDIS, regardless of your disability. It's near impossible to access most support and equipment without being on the NDIS. And the government has announced that they want that number to drop to 600,000 in four years. 160,000 of us cut off the Scheme - and countless more denied access. This will cause deaths. People will die and people will suffer because there is no safety net. The NDIS is the only option for most of us. Even private health insurance doesn't cover most of these things. Nobody will swoop in to save us.

The bill wants to give the (non disabled!) NDIS minister basically unlimited power to cut our funding. They're already planning what they'd do with that power. What rights they'll strip from us. What dignity and freedom they'll remove to make their budget look better.

The bill wants to force people to try every treatment out there before they're allowed to be on the NDIS. Including if the treatment is literally impossible to access. There’s a lot of us living in regional areas or out bush who can't just pop to the capital cities for specialists. This will especially hurt disabled First Nations people in regional and remote communities, who already experience limited access to healthcare. Oh, and it includes chemical restraint, too. The government has directly refused to exclude chemical restraint from the required process, calling it "trialling medication".

If you're australian and worried, the ABC did a good breakdown of the proposed changes.

I know australia stuff doesn't really pop up on the radar on this site, but I want everyone to know what's going on. What we're fighting for here. Your australian disabled friends might be NDIS participants fearing for their life, rights, and freedom. They might not be a participant and afraid these changes mean they never will have access. We deserve better. The government built a system with no backup plan, and now they want hundreds of thousands of disabled people to pay the price for their bad planning.

Sorry we're too expensive to have rights, I guess.

what is it with people constantly trying to assert that “binary trans people” are somehow easier for conservatives to stomach when almost every single international and domestic anti-trans policy/ruling is explicitly (if not exclusively) about trans women. you can talk about the issues nonbinary people face without writing fanfiction about reality

123movies & putlocker provide more for the people of this country than the army has ever

At least the army doesn’t take the money creators could have made. And is also not stealing anyone’s content. ^^

i think my favourite responses to feminist commentary about leg shaving are the ones that act like it's never occurred to OP that refusal to shave comes with negative social-material consequences.

neither 'but my mom and aunt were mean and called me dirty' nor 'actually i have to shave for my job' are gotchas. they actually prove the point that shaving is an obligation with social costs when we refuse. you're being reminded that the refusal to shave may have consequences & encouraged to refuse anyway, to choose that fight in order to change things.

tell your auntie that insulting you won't make you shave, tell your boss you'll sue him for wrongful dismissal, laugh in your client's face when he's frightened by your armpit hair. anything other than constantly telling yourself you have no choice, just like terfs and swerfs want you to believe.

Fun fact for anyone who does this, being a misogynistic man isn't funny just because you're trans or you think the idea of treating trans women like women is inherently funny, how funny do you think she finds your "ironic" misogyny when you punch down on the women that don't have cis privilege over you

also no one says it but the punchline of "trans inclusive misogyny" is almost always the implicit assumption that transfeminine people do not actually experience misogyny in our day-to-day life. thats why its considered humorous and acceptable to do, rather than just being. misogyny against women.

Remember this every time someone says "I don't like TMA/TME" or insinuates that trans women discussing how we're affected by misogyny within the queer community is "infighting" or "discourse." Their argument isn't that they think there is a better framework or that we're actively harming men through bioessentialist hate or whatever the lastest framing they've come around to is, it's that they think they have the right to speak over and down to women because deep down they think trans women aren't actually women in an actual sense, only in a rhetorical one for PR's sake. They think we're narrarively women, not that we experience life as women.

Hey y'all! I've bumped up against some financial challenges recently. When I was laid off last year, it took me 5 months to find a new job. I've been working for the past 4 months but I'm making 5k less a year than before. My dog got neutered + microchipped last week, which came up to nearly 1k. We are financing to pay that off, but we also discovered that there is a leak in the ceiling that needs to be addressed ASAP, some medical things for my partner that aren't covered by insurance, etc.

TL;DR I need to supplement my income a bit while we pay for stuff. Hmu for card pulls. My 💰Pal is here.
