I'm a policy nerd, studying Italian, trying to grow veggies and learning to be more tolerant and empathetic.

I like tea, libraries, jigsaw puzzles, fridge magnets, cooking, mountains, trains, rescue dogs, history docos and southeast asian islands.

When I grow up I want to be a train driver. Or a librarian. Or maybe a character in a William Gibson novel.

I only boost pics with Alt Text. My posts vanish after three months.

Anyone out there prepared to recommend a business that sells custom-made curtains online (in Australia)?

"...Rinehart’s support for swimming has also been unusual in her direct-to-athlete funding, which only expanded after a falling out with the peak body.

"Through the “Hancock Swimmer Support Scheme”, Australia’s swimmers receive salary-like payments across three tiers: for top Olympians, those on the cusp of the national team and younger athletes with potential. Australia’s best swimmers reportedly received $32,000 directly from Rinehart in 2021. This would be supplemented by Swimming Australia funding and commercial endorsements."

A serving police officer with some, shall we say 'Nazi-adjacent' views, is running for election in the ACT

Why do pharmacies sell so many jellybeans? Prominently displayed?

While getting a blood test today in a nearby medical centre, I passed by the pharmacy and saw they had a dedicated table out the front of Glucojel jelly beans and bears. Inside there was another whole stand.

Do they serve some medical purpose?

@mativity sugary drinks also work but jellybeans last forever and are easy to carry around

Oh for goodness sake the homes mostly being built are unaffordable for all the people that need housing. The only way we can address the housing crisis is to overrule all council impediments to building and living in tiny homes. What the feds need to do is legislate against NIMBYism

luciedigitalni,
@luciedigitalni@aus.social avatar

@joannejacobs that's hardly the "only" way

luciedigitalni,
@luciedigitalni@aus.social avatar

@joannejacobs repurposing existing buildings, eg empty office blocks, is probably the most effective short-term move, but everything is constrained by the simple lack of available workers. Tax changes are also essential, including moving away from stamp duty that disincentivises downsizing

luciedigitalni,
@luciedigitalni@aus.social avatar

@bigjsl @kcarruthers @joannejacobs not to mention the $5.50 per recipient strata managers charge to send emails

luciedigitalni,
@luciedigitalni@aus.social avatar

@joannejacobs obviously planning changes need to happen, particularly to minimum parking requirements, but for low to medium-rise the costs are far from "phenomenal"

The eSafety commissioner has gone completely mad! The porn passport has now been extended to Social media and video games. Requiring a grandmother to register for a “porn passport” so she can see her grandkids on Facebook. Either that or set up a VPN. The porn passport will be hacked, and the number of places needing a porn passport will grow! Books, music, political commentary, medical site and sites discussing sexuality are next. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-19/age-verification-internet-use-children-online-pornography/103843886

@Old_IT_geek this is being forced on the esafety commissioner. She has actively resisted previous attempts to do this, presumably because she understands how unworkable it is

@vwdasher this will be equally effective as all the previous attempts of Australien governments to restrict access to adult content

@luciedigitalni@aus.social avatar

@vwdasher pretty obviously it would (a) be trivial to circumvent and (b) only ever apply to a small number of higher profile sites, leading to people (including kids) seeking out less mainstream, likely much dodgier sites. It must be opposed of course, but this trial may provide the opportunity to shoot this idea down for good. It would also be nice to see EFA actually do something. They've been almost nonexistent for many years
