So You Still Think Homosexuality Is A Sin?
via my mother
Best thing in the world.
I like this.
That one time we stole an entire generation of people
How about when we overthrew a government because we asked “but why is the rum gone?” and then demanded an answer? With guns.
Or how about when the Prime Minister of Australia, left his own party, formed a ruling coalition with the opposition, then made a new Nationalist party to run the country, without a single election?
Or when every single elected Federal representative of Australia was fired?
Or when we had a Prime Minister with a world-drinking record?
Then we totally led an intervention into the fate of one of our neighbors. And another one.
Or when, during an outbreak of the Black Death in Australia, some brave scientists worked out the disease could be spread through fleas- leading to the development of effective, modern quarantining.
Also, this one time when a single, outgunned man completely changed the face of the country.
And, more recently, when our leaders have been disposed without elections.
Or when the women of our nation completely changed our institutions so this country would be one of the first to grant them to right to vote and run in elections.
Or when we helped draft the Universal Declaration of Human Motherfucking Rights.
So shut the fuck up.
That time when the Prime Minister went for a swim and DISAPPEARED FROM THE FACE OF THE PLANET
Except this isn’t the kind of shit they teach us in history class. I can’t count the number of times EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL YEAR we did white bitches landing on the shores of Sydney.
How about that time when more bombs were dropped on one Australian town in WWII than in the attack on Pearl Harbour.
Or that time when British colonists wiped out almost the entire indigenous population of Tasmania, and sent the rest off to Bass Strait Islands.
Or that stretch of coastland where over 630 shipwrecks occurred.
But yeah, First Fleet and gold rush, that sums up Australian history in schools. :/
Proud Papas. After trying to become parents for nearly a year, two gay King penguins at the Odense Zoo in Denmark adopted an abandoned egg. The two successfully incubated and hatched a chick last month.

Misao and Fukumaru. “We will never be apart.”
12 years ago, Japanese photographer, Miyoko Ihara (伊原 美代子) started to take photographs of her grandmother, Misao. Born in 1981 in Chiba (Japan), Miyoko Ihara has studied under Kenji Higuchi (樋口健二), after graduating from the Press Photography Course at the Nippon Photography Institute in 2002. Miyoko is also a member of The Photographic Society of Japan.”
“Under the sun, everyday is a good day. Another good day, Fukumaru”, Misao. Eight years ago, Misao found a odd-eyed kitten in the shed. She named the cat “Fukumaru” in hope that “God of fuku” (good fortune) comes and everything will be smoothed like a “maru” (circle)”.
“We’ll never be apart!”, says Misao to Fukumaru. Both of them live in a tiny world, with dignity, with mutual love. Still today, under the blue sky, Misao and Fukumaro work in the fields and in these natural surroundings, where they shine like the stars.”
