Glitter Vs Evil

 Glitter Vs Evil

  I did address this in my review of the awesome book Colouring The Rainbow so check that out. Andrew Bolt is a (legally confirmed) racist and homophobe (by his own words).  

 Andrew Bolt recently had a major hussy-fit after he (by his own admission) violently "assaulted" someone for merely playing a prank on him. The prank being that glitter was thrown in his direction. Andrew Bolt's defenders are saying that Bolt should escape charges because Bolt's homophobia runs so deep that the mere physical contact with glitter enrages him into uncontrolled hysterical violent attacks.
 I should note that as of this writing charges of assault have yet to be applied to him, and i believe he is trying to play the victim in this encounter, it seems apparent that the mainstream media are quite willing to side with him.
  It would appear Andrew Bolt has a long history of seemingly attacking minority's while being a very sensitive snowflake himself.  He is loving playing the victim he claims that his fascist views have drawn the attention of an anti-facscist group , who he blames for the glitter prank.

 Please for your own safety do not try and enlighten Andrew Bolt by sprinkling glitter about him or his person. In fact its best not to glitter anyone against their wishes, no matter how disgusting they are or how many years they have devoted to attacking innocent minority groups. Obviously throwing glitter at a fascist is wrong, but Bolts assault on the pranksters and his melodrama since was completely over the top.

If homophobes are getting you down, or you are having homophobic thoughts please seek help.

Marriage Equality should not remian in closet

Marriage Equality 

 The Coalition through Peter Dutton singled out one gay executive Alan Joyce after 20 executives from high profile company's came out in favor of supporting the Australian constitution and ending marriage discrimination against LGBT people. Dutton and other right wingers, went on a rant railing against free speech and against business doing community enrichment programs. Qantas the company specifically targeted by Dutton does such things as;

Assisting Australians in natural disasters

Transporting medical supplies and patients

Supporting the arts

Indigenous reconciliation

Sponsoring sporting events and organisations 

Charitable donations 

Taking steps to prevent modern slavery

 Now admittedly Dutton and other right wingers were targeting the company's support for equal rights but we must assume they want business to stop all social responsibility or else we would be calling them homophobic bigots, and we wouldn't want to do that.

 Duttons claim that company's are being bullied into supporting equal rights are bizarre. In related news a bigot attacked this very same CEO who Dutton had targeted for the exact same "reasons" Dutton had proclaimed. This homophobic attack however was a physical assault, The bigot was deemed to have mental issues and was given a slap on the wrist fine with no record of conviction. Perhaps mandatory treatment for his violent homophobia might have been in order but we can only hope he gets the professional help he needs. This shows too how important programs like Safe Schools are, so people don't grow up with such irrational hate in their hearts. This man was a member of a Christian church, and a former candidate for the nationals. It has been reported that he is at least a member of two "christian" organisations, which have hopefully since been investigated for any terrorism or hate crimes planning. I also didn't hear many in the right call on all Christians (or whites, or men) to condemn this attack...

Terrorism in Australia

Terrorism in Australia

Melbourne CBD 

 In a recent terror attack in Australian city of Melbourne, 37 people were injured and 5 people tragically died. Pauline Hanson happened to be having one of her numerous media events at the time. You can see an advisor whispers in her ear and she looks stunned for a second and then turns and says smugly (note the look on her face!);

"Iv just been told there's a terorrister (sic) attack that's just happened in Melbourne."
"People don't look right! That their not going to assumeulate (sic) into our society, Have a different ideology, different beliefs, don't probide (sic) by our laws, our culture, our way of life, don't let them in!
Make this country safe for our future generations!"
She went on to falsely claim that 
"all terrorist attacks in this country have been by Muslims!"

 It should be noted that this was another homophobic terror attack, with the man having stabbed his gay brother and vowing 'I’m going to kill all gays and poofters and lesbians'.
Now if we ignore her targeting Muslims and pretend she had directed her comments against the homophobia of the terrorist we can actually see she would have been justified in making them. So lets fix that for her to make her comments relevant and factual, lets direct them at the proper targets.

'Homophobes are not going to assimilate into our society. Homophobes have a different ideology, different beliefs, they don't abide by our laws, our culture, and our way of life. Homophobia should not be tolerated! We need to make this country safe for our future generations.'

 Of course she will never admit her 'mistake', it doesn't further her political career to actually fight the causes of terror. She still has not apologised for trying to straight-wash the homophobic Orlando attack and she i cant find anywhere where she has corrected her misinformation about the Melbourne attack, she certainly hasn't changed her homophobic policies.

 Terror Organisation:

 Earlier in February the Q-society held a fund raising event. I hadn't previously heard of the Q-society but its apparently a right wing group that opposes freedom of religion and the Australian constitution. Larry Pickering (who may be trying to win Australia's most disgusting cartoonist award from Bill Leak) attended the event where he said;

 "I can't stand Muslims…[but] they are not all bad, they do chuck pillow-biters off buildings." 

 For those who don't know "pillow-biters" is a derogatory term for homosexuals, and Larry here is referring to the terrorist group ISIL policy of murdering gay men by throwing them off tall buildings. Obviously this support of terrorism should have been immediately condemned he should have been booed off the stage and escorted out of the building to a waiting police car, where he could receive a psychiatric evaluation before his trial on charges of hate crimes, advocating violence and supporting terrorism. But that didn't happen. instead we had right -wing, homophobic, science denying, anti-constitutional, pro-child bullying Cory Bernardi attended the event and thus provided his own support for this group. But he wasn't alone, George Christensen who shares many of Cory's reprehensible views and actually advocates for the death penalty for convicted terrorists. 
 None of us are layers specialising in anti-terrorism legislation, but it seems clear to us that praising the terrorism of terrorists is an act of terrorism as it creates a serious risk to the health and safety of the public. As this event was a fundraiser and this organisation appears to be a terrorist organisation all those in attendance have also funded terrorism which is a crime. The Q-society appears to be eligible for categorisation as a terrorist organisation as it seems to meet the criteria:

• is engaged in preparing, planning, assisting or fostering the doing of a terrorist act
  or
• advocates the doing of a terrorist act.

• counsels, promotes, encourages or urges the doing of a terrorist act
• gives instruction on the doing of a terrorist act
• directly praises the doing of a terrorist act, where there is a substantial risk that this praise might lead someone to engage in a terrorist act. 

 The enforcement of our anti-terrorism legislation seems unlikely as the perpetrators were white, non-Muslims, the proposed victims were gay men, also the categorisation as a terrorist organisation is at the discretion of the attorney general.
 But you can do something, if you remember Malcolm Trumble promised to protect us from homophobia and hate speech, lets at least ask him to do the bare minimum and condemn George Christensen for attending the Q Society's fundraiser!

One Nations* parade of clowns:

One nation* is a minor political party that relies on fear and misinformation to spread homophobia and racism. You will remember their candidates have shown and generally weird and often disgusting alternate views on reality. And I'm not just referencing the standard climate denial, anti-science, homophobic, anti-constitutional, racist, sexist, anti-worker, sexist, rubbish. One i missed was the outrageous alternate reality of Peter Rogers who claimed that poor Syrian refuge child on the beach was faked. Link to story here, but be warned it has that graphic photo, though it is slightly blurred.  

 So after all the other inappropriate candidates One Nation* gives us; Michelle Meyers, not to be confused with Michael Myers, who come to think of it might make a better candidate. Michelle Meyers claims to believe such insane things as "abortions create cannibals', 'gays are indoctrinating children, 'gays are confused', 'trans people are broken'. and that 'two dead Harvard graduated Norwegian homosexuals (who are also apparently somehow Nazi's) are using a well known mind control to make marriage equality and holographic (?) families more acceptable'.

 While this should alarm everyone, what is possibly more distressing is that the government is giving her its preferences!
 I am not going to comment on this further except to say that she is obviously unfit for government and i hope she receives the psychiatric help or education she evidently needs.

The ghostly wrestler?

Paranormal Hammerlock

 It’s time for another spooky tale of the paranormal kind. This is a true story it happened to me yesterday (16/08/2025).

It began Sunday evening as I was washing up, beside my sink there is a door to the sleepout or sunroom, and it’s kind of like a veranda that has windows on all the outside facing walls. At the moment the sunroom is used for storage. So anyway I am standing there washing up and I am startled by knocking on this door! You have to understand that the only other door to this room is in my bedroom and it isn’t used, it actually has furniture placed on both sides. The house is on stilts and the windows out of reach and closed. 

 SIMS 4 PLAN OF MY HOUSE

So I hear this knocking and I look at the door, which is about a meter from me. I think it must be echoing strangely and I go check the front and back doors, which are both locked and no one is there. I check next doors drive way and they are not home, besides it was too loud to be from them. So I go back to the kitchen, I am standing at the door to the sleepout and I reach out my hand, wondering if I really want to open the door. , And it comes again five loud knocks, this time see the door move, I flinch back my right hand that was just about to grab the door handle. I consider again if I want to open the door, instead I say “no one is home, you can’t come in” at the door and go into the lounge room to play some second son on the PS4.

 SIMS 4 COPY OF MY HOUSE

That night I had trouble sleeping again, I do suffer from insomnia, but I have also been under a lot of stress due to my boyfriend of almost 4 years dumping me for another guy. So sleep didn’t come easy and when it did, it seemed I woke almost instantly.
Eventually I must have gotten to sleep because I awoke lying on my stomach with my head facing the bedroom door. I looked and listened for a momentarily to determine what if anything had woken me up.

THE BEDROOM DOOR TO THE SLEEPOUT

That’s when I noticed my right arm, laying at my side, it moved. I thought for a second it might be a spasm, or maybe my arm was asleep, as it felt very strange. It wasn’t asleep though, it moved again, awkwardly. It’s difficult to explain, I am lying there and I am watching my arm lift off the bed. I didn’t take notice at the time but the covers had been pulled away from my right arm and back. My arm moves again it looks like it’s being lifted and manipulated by unseen hands, I am thinking I am having some kind of seizure or something. 

I can actually see the skin moving as my arm moves.As the pressure tightens i can actually feel hands and fingers, the hardest being on my bicep, the thumb pressing deep into my skin.

Then my arm is lifted and twisted more, and I realize My arm is actually being twisted around and behind my back, in like a hammerhold, a restraining move, like the police do. 

I lash out with my mind in panic! And it is gone; I am alone in my bedroom again. I quickly rollover, pulling the covers back on me, and I fall soundly asleep.

THE KITCHEN DOOR INTO THE SLEEPOUT

This was not the old hag, I have only had old hag visits while lying on my back, this was different. Needless to say I cleansed my house and slept a lot better last night. In the mirror this morning i see a bruse where the entitys thumb dug deep into my bicep. 

Its kind of faint and didn't show up too well on camera, but its there, and not in a place that i could have accidentally hit without a convoluted and memorable event.

Please forgive the dreaded red circle of unseeing.

Shark Attack!

                                        Shark Attack!

 

We lived in rural New South Wales Australia, moved there when I was a tender five years of age.  We moved from Sydney into a property a good distance from the dirt road with mostly empty fields.
The one saving grace of this property was that it backed onto the Richmond river, the river paddock had pretty much been left to nature and offered much shade and tranquility. Now don’t get me wrong it wasn’t some hippy nature love fest, the trees were only allowed to grow along the riverbank to avoid losing land to erosion. The river usually flooded once a year leaving us isolated, and when there wasn’t torrential rain there was often devastating drought with temperatures in the high 40s.

 I remember one time we all went swimming in the river, I had a inflated tire tube and was forbidden to remove it, it was put on a rope as the current was too strong for my young legs to fight against, and I was quickly pushed down stream.

But other than that, the river was mine to explore, my next oldest brother, Stephany, five years older than me, would sometimes fish of the old wharf. Sometimes I would go and sit with him as I had nothing better to do, I remember I liked watching the crabs playing in the mud. The river was tidal, revealing muddy shallows at low tide.


                             

So I can’t quite remember what year this occurred, I was young, being picked up and carried around, I was a small kid. I think I may have been about 7 or 8 but could not swear on it.
It was at low tide that Stephany decided to play the bully, he was often mean and would go out of his way to get me into trouble with our father. This time we were standing on the wharf and he pushes me, and then goes to grab me as he says “Tell mum I saved you!”
Now what was supposed to happen is that he pushed me, I flinched, lurched off the wharf and he would have grabbed me, preventing me from falling in, and thus “saving me”.
What actually happened was that he pushes me and fails to catch me, so I go flying over the edge into the mud, I am only light but I still sink into the mud a few inches. My legs are facing the water, and half in the water, my feet are completely in the river.
So Stephany apologises and asks me not to “dob on him”, and says i "wasn't supposed to fall off", I say something stupid, like “You didn’t save me”, as i am sinking into the mud looking up at him on the wharf. 

So we both start laughing and I start trying to stand, I’m kicking in the water, and my feet can’t get a grip, I’m just sliding in the mud, I’m making the water muddy. The wharf was about a meter high above the mud so i had no chance of using it for leverage, even if i had been standing.
Stephany says something, along the lines of “move closer to the wharf and ill pull you up”, I don’t remember exactly.
What I do remember, vividly to this very day, is that my attention was drawn to a grey white shape approaching in the now muddying water. It took a while for my young mind to register what it was. I just moved both my feet up out of the water, somehow managing to stand in a kind of ninja jump move, as the shark lunged left and right at my feet. I screamed for Stephany to help me up as I sunk deeper into the mud. I know he looked back at where it was, it splashed as it turned,, I looked back myself and saw its swimming back out to deeper waters.

                                                                Bull Shark

I do not know if he was afraid of getting into trouble or if he hadn’t actually seen it, but he never admitted that there was a shark, he claimed it must have just been a big catfish.
Now we did have both dogfish and catfish in the river, but it wasn’t one of those, I had seen my brothers fishing; I knew what those fish looked like.
In fact no one believed me, I was repeatedly told that sharks don’t live in rivers, they live in the sea. However I knew what I saw, I never went into the river again, but often enjoyed exploring the riverbank.

                                              

Fast-forward a few years and I heard that sometimes sharks do travel up the river in floods and to “clean out their gills”. Though I was still told that sharks would not go this far up the river.
Today it is common knowledge that bull sharks, actually live happily in salt or fresh water, though when I say happily I mean hungrily, as they are responsible for most attacks in shallow water.


This is a fact and they are often caught in the Richmond River where I had my near miss. While at the time I thought it was a baby great white shark (it looked to be about two foot long) on reflection I would assume that it was in fact a Bull Shark, i don't even think i knew there were different kinds of sharks at that age..  

Writing this I was curious to know what my brother Stephany now says about the shark I saw, so i asked him, and his reply was typical;
“That was probably just a big catfish.”
