Nah, it was my really poor phrasing. What was being thought was not what got typed
Agreed. It’s not looking good. I also hope against hope that it doesn’t affect meat, eggs and milk supply

Sorry, I meant from human to human and instead said that
My bad
I agree. Probably going to be a repeat of the last time. It worries me because of my immune system and also avian flu can be fatal to cats.
There were even those temporary structures/tents outside of hospitals in Australia. Saw them locally, none of the behaviours changed though.
I really really hope that this virus doesn’t also jump to humans and force us to deal with strollouts and noncompliant people again…
Damn, Power And Water cracked down on bottle-sharing now? /s
That’s how corporations nickel and dime you. I resist subscription services almost completely (I pay for cloud backup storage for my phone in case of breakage/theft and that’s it) because as well as being a constant financial drain they inevitably degrade and enshittify, often even removing things you paid for
I don’t know what to say other than that I agree with you. Dominant retailers (especially supermarkets) were and are profiteering during a crisis and these ‘prices drops’ of cents are merely a sop.
At this point a fair few people can’t even afford some of those goods

Oh ok. It’s still very weird. I would have thought that explaining same sex parents to children might be to prevent bullying or teasing of a classmate who has them. I can’t see anything sexualised about it.
It really seems like there’s a homophobic/transphobic push for censorship by religious groups spearheaded by myths that LGBTIA+ are ‘groomers’.
Parenting books are a moral sin? And in a linked article - parenting books are sexualising children???
I’d argue that same sex parents adopting or fostering kids who would otherwise have fewer options is a net social positive and actually a pretty moral thing to do. (Especially if they’re taking the time and care to read parenting books.) Almost like a thing that a religion of compassion would approve of.
Homophobic protests and book bannings are a different kind of movement. Even if the ban was reversed these trends are scary to see.
It seems they’ve scapegoated one thing to look busy on dealing with high rates of DV. I’d love to see more resources given to housing* and family violence services, better sex ed around consent, and for police to consistently act on reports rather than brushing them off.
*There are calls to address housing for those escaping their relationships but whether that materialises is another matter. And there is a Leaving Violence grant, however it depends on being able to get into stable housing rather than just end up crashing in a hotel or transitional housing for as long as the money lasts.

And yeah… India has already been experiencing 50C heat waves
