It appears that last night personal information about my Australian visa was leaked from the Department of Home Affairs to a radical left-wing blog. Dates, purposes, notes from officials and perhaps more I have not seen yet.
The government have a duty under the privacy act to ensure everyone's documentations are handled with care. Yet it appears this breach occurred, possibly because of a radical working within the government with access to information or due to another weakness in security.
Such leaks put my family and my child in danger. It wasn’t even leaked to a mainstream outlet, it was leaked to an extremist outlet with an editor who refers to himself proudly as a “communist” and “ASIO target”. Image
I don’t know if they have the names of my family members now. I don’t know if they have my address. I’m terrified they might. I do know that they have the ability to get more information if they can access leaks like this.
Even if you disagree with me politically, how do we know if anyone else’s information put forward to the government isn’t being handled in a similar manner? Are the documents of other immigrants being thrown around and leaked?
I am happily and peacefully raising my son in this country with my wonderful husband. I am not a threat. The possibility of radicals working within government with access to all your information breaching legal protocol are though. I’m deeply disturbed by all of this.
It's already out there, so I suppose I'll post evidence. Luckily they haven't put further details. What else do they have in these leaked documents though? They have the details of my initial visitor applications. They have officers notes. This is insane. They have grant dates. Image

An AI horror story:

Earlier this year I received a large donation from a supporter of mine out of the blue. (creators please look out for this)

I got the sense that this was not normal. I called them on discord immediately and sure enough they were about to end their life.
Emergency services were dispatched, and he was saved thank goodness.

I of course returned the money and followed up to see how his treatment went.
His treatment in an American hospital began and ended with him being locked in a room with no objects he could use to kill himself and an electronic tablet AI system to talk him through his emotions.

My parents just got banned from AirBnB for being related to me.

They have never booked anything for me. They do not represent me in any way. They aren't publicly political in any way.

How is this sane in any way @Airbnb
The $300 cleaning fees for a $200 rental are cringe and exploitative anyways. Support local hotels!
My parents are some of the sweetest people I know. They were just planning a romantic getaway, they aren't political activists. :(

All I've learned is that if governments and corporations can't shut you up by harming you, they'll now go for your families.

Random rant.

Y'all ever heard of tretinoin?

If you've ever bought a retinol product, it's got a small amount of this in every cream that's the main active ingredient.

It's the one part of the product that’s doing wonders for your skin.
Tretinoin is one of the few products that can actually reverse the effects of aging as it speeds up your skins healing and refreshing cycle.

It does wonders for people with acne as well. There’s whole cult like followings on Reddit towards this cream.

reddit.com/r/tretinoin/co…
Often you have to pay upwards of $80 for a nice retinol cream with a minimal amount of the actual active ingredient.

Many people don’t know you can get the active ingredient in it’s purer form by just buying tretinoin itself and reaping the full benefits, for like $10.

Sarah's Detransition Story. How the Canadian government pushed her into transitioning as a child, then abandoned her when she changed her mind.

Her family had no idea where to even begin when Sarah started having doubts with her transition. They expressed to me privately how grateful they were for voices like @MsBlaireWhite and @BuckAngel who felt like some of their only loving support in this dark place.
You can send Sarah some love at @SarahElizHar and support her @GiveSendGo to detransition here:

Conservative commentators need to do better at understanding how soul destroying and mundane the average 9-5 job is.

There’s a reason there are so many communists today. Their solutions are dead wrong, but just telling them that without acknowledging the crisis doesn’t do much.
Yes humans need to work, it doesn’t have to be unbearable though. You talk to the average person and they tell you the restrictions at work are so bad they can’t even tell jokes anymore. They can’t advance in a job they’ve dedicated 20 years to because they’re a white male.
To the Twitter elite who pick their own hours and work from home they may shrug their shoulders at this…. But we’re taking about peoples entire lives here? Their whole existence on this planet… miserable because they don’t feel they’re contributing to anything meaningful.

I think a lot of people here - both left and right - misunderstand my position on transgenderism. So I’m going to clarify.
Yes I think most trans people are mentally ill. Why? Gender dysphoria is labeled a mental illness in the DSM5. I realize dysphoria requires distress due to gender incongruence. I have yet to meet someone who does not feel distress from it & find it hard to imagine one wouldn’t.
Mental illness does not make you any less important as a human being, it doesn’t make you any less worthy of love or care. If you believe people with mental illness are worth less or don’t deserve love, we disagree vehemently.
