November 2022. Rumours abound that Twitter will not survive Elon Musk at the helm.
I have joined the Twitter Migration to the more democratically run Mastodon. It's a learning curve. I can be found here... I think... unless I've stuffed up the links...
For anyone ending up on this blog space from Mastodon - welcome to my disorganised ramblings (much of which predates me joining Twitter). There are various threads on this "Life Happens" blog so feel free to explore.
Reading about how Brittany Higgins was sexually assaulted whilst intoxicated, vulnerable, and unable to give consent IN PARLIAMENT HOUSE made me furious. This, unsurprisingly, has not been the end of the story. We are now up to the fourth woman coming forward about an assault from the same man. This sexual predator clearly believed (for seemingly good reason) that he could push his unsolicited and unwanted sexual advances towards his female colleagues with impunity because he would be protected by a culture that protects male privilege, a culture that values the perception of decency over actual decency.
The case will be before the courts and will be subject to some sort of enquiry within the parliament (hopefully not watered down). This is now an opportunity for real change - I only hope it doesn't get stuffed up again...
