Tony Abbott, Australia’s Prime Minister and self-appointed minister of women’s affairs, winks at a radio DJ after Gloria, a 67-year-old pensioner, tells him that she has to work as a telephone sex worker to make enough money to pay for her medical expenses. 



Classy!

Tony Abbott is actually the verifiable worst.

Countdown till conservatives use the mention of gifts for her grandchildren as a reason to dismiss this, because the poor can’t have nice things and if poor children think they still deserve presents they have no motivation to not be poor.

Notice how he stops smiling only when he sees the camera? Like this isn’t real for him at all. All he can think about is the sex part.

I bet he wasn’t even listening until he realised that he was being watched.

Calling him a scum-sucking paramecium is an insult to scum-sucking paramecia.

Challenge #00511 - A136: Biochemical Imbalance

That wonderful feeling when you’re on just insufficient meds, or high on fatigue toxins, or had two hour’s sleep per night, max for the last week. After you’ve gone through the feeling-horrible portion, when you’re in the feeling great, can do anything, everything is so clear and sharp and makes so much sense

And then, when you’ve had sufficient sleep, rest, or meds…

How the world actually is, and how you’ve been behaving. – RecklessPrudence

Challenge #00510 - A135: The Wolf's Just a Puppy

Also about domesticated animals.

Almost every domesticated species, whether predator or prey, has been a social animal, with an internal hierarchy. Humans domesticated them by inserting ourselves at the top of the various hierarchies, and doing so consistently for generations, until the species is considered domesticated.
This can lead to absurd scenarios such as a human chastising a predator-species that was behaving inappropriately, one that masses more than they do, with a jaw that could shatter their bones easily, can outrun them

SKIP Revamped: The Case of the Polite Vampire (part two)

He took off his stark white gloves and dipped the mug into the bucket. Guzzled cupful after cupful like a starving man tearing into a banquet.

Mesi watched, amazed. So very little of the blood was allowed to spill. Not one drop reached his crisp, grey waistcoat or fancy, wide tie. And none of it marred his tailored white shirt.

It wasn’t her imagination. Those manicured fingers were growing sharper as he fiercely gripped the bucket.

“So… were

Answering an Ask that looks like a Prompt

So if Logan/Wolverine is functionally immortal, is there opportunity for a crossover with Amalgam/Amity ‘verse?

Sadly, only in fanfic. Amity and Amalgam Universe are wholly mine and Wolverine is a wholly owned subsidiary of Marvel/Disney.

If I suddenly added a surly Canadian mutant with adamantium talons into my pro works, that would be (a) turning my pro stuff into fanfic and (b) a copyright infringement so bad that they’d deport me to America to incarcerate me and
