lol took me awhile to find this gif again… Escher is GOAT!

Like the ban is bullshit but the US needs to fuck all the way off. ALL the way.

I'm home now so here's the link sans paywall.

fuck off. fuck off. fuck off. FUCK OFF.

Like. For context, for non Australians

In December last year Australia implemented a social media ban for kids under sixteen. Now, as someone who would have killed herself before her sixteenth birthday without the internet this is bullshit, but that's not the point here.

The United States has summoned an Australian citizen, acting in capacity as an Australian official, to answer to the United States Congress, as if it's any of their FUCKING BUSINESS what the AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT does ON ITS OWN FUCKING SOIL.

I never thought I'd want to rabidly defend the person who oversaw the ban to the point of wanting to throw hands but hey, these are unprecedented times.

The United States has been pulling this bullshit since they elected the orange fuckwit. OUR biggest scientific authority got a letter from the United States government demanding to know what they were doing to prevent trans people from getting jobs. The US government has been pressuring OUR government into destroying our PBS, which allows us to buy affordable medication, because it's not enough that they're killing their own citizens through medical bankruptcy they want to kill OURS too to "make America great again."

FUCK OFF.

don't get me wrong. it's always devastating always humbling. no one wants to fall for the lying machine it just sounds bad. but you can't dwell
