That's them :)
You could take the 1 trillion dollars it would cost the Australia government and spend it on any number of things to make ownership easier.
That's true. The issue is, they're not going to implement any of those ideas...
So people who can't enter the housing market remain fucked over, because the imperfect ideas that might actually get off the ground get set aside in favour of better ideas that will never see the light of day.
The bird was maybe 4 meters up from the path I was on?
This magpie was a very good model. They complied with all of my posing requests to give this wonderful golden hour shot :)

Either that, or you create an account on the communities home instance and give it mod privileges too, and that way you won't ever get caught short by federation issues, blocking etc.
Shouldn't you be taking pictures of birds though, haha.
Soon! It's Friday evening here, but I'll be out again this weekend :)
I just unstickied it from the Blahaj side for you
Sure, but by the time those solutions are in place, another generation of people will have been denied the chance to own property, which has generational consequences on economic and educational outcomes for those families.
The answer is short term relief combined with long term change. Denial of short term relief because of hypothetical long term strategies that aren't going to be implemented helps no one.
Sorry, I was being a bit tongue in cheek there. The economy will continue to be shit for people who struggle to afford home ownership whether or not they can use superannuation to help get their foot in the door.
So people remain excluded from property ownership, but hey, at least the economy will be ok

You are working on undoing a lifetime of negative indoctrination and internalised shame about yourself. Finally knowing who you are, claiming ownership of yourself and forging the life you want is a powerful and amazing experience, but it doesn't undo that previous lifetime of experience overnight.
It's going to take time to work through the conflicting and sometimes contradictory feelings. The best thing you can do is give yourself permission to work through it. Don't beat yourself up or blame yourself for those moments, because they're not your fault, they're the end result of a lifetime of negativity targeting folk like us, and you're walking the path towards undoing that negativity. But it takes time. Give yourself permission to take that time to work through it

A side effect of aging for me is that now I like olives.
Ideally, it wouldn't be either of those things.
Trans communities for example, Closeted trans folk benefit from people being able to see trans communities and browse them, and just lurk before they post or before they're ready to join a private community.
Yet at the same time, sometimes, members have questions that really only other trans people can answer. And there is no problem with other folk seeing it or even engaging with the content, but once it hits all, the ratio of useful answers goes down. So being able to just stop some posts from hitting all, without otherwise locking them down would be a nice option

Yep! The male becomes a brilliant blue when he's got breeding plumage on!
