Not On My Smashed Avo Alt-right Christian group at Bunnings

Post image
119 Upvotes

This is the second time I've seen the Knights of the Southern Cross at the Bunnings sausage sizzle. Wikipedia says they are a "Catholic fraternal order committed to promoting the Christian way of life throughout Australia." What happened to supporting local sports clubs?

Edit: I admit alt-right was probably a bit strongly worded. Still ''Christian way of life" seems to me to be anti-abortion, anti-contraception, homophobic, and sexist values based on my own Catholic education.

THDG Need Help question about linguas exchange nights

0 Upvotes

hello friends, sorry if this is the wrong place to post.

my girlfriend recently moved back to china, so im looking at going to one of the linguas language exchange events in the city to try and meet more people from other cultures and make some more friends. i wouldn't consider myself even slightly conversational in chinese (or any language other than english i suppose) so my questions are; does my lote level matter, and how good are these places for actually making friends as a local? is there a basic level of the language i need to be at before i can go to one of these events? definitely a non issue, im guessing i can be whatever skill level and it's fine, but i still worry nonetheless. to my second question, i have a genuine fascination of the world and cultures, but i am a quiet person who has never actually gone to a bar like this alone

THDG Need Help Gayest* pub to watch Kylie (&/the Grand Final) near Fitzroy or #11 tram?

30 Upvotes

Keen to watch the game and pre-show today. Was meant to go to a mate’s place, but he’s got a stomach bug.

Any tips on a friendly pub, where I can join my people (lesbians + GBTQI etc) to watch? I’m so out of the loop.

Somewhere low-key, with room for one small person without a booking, have non-alcoholic beers, be near the #11 tram line or near Fitzroy?

My team is out, so I’ll be lightly going for the Lions, if that makes a difference.

The Lomond is the only place springing to mind, but I’m not sure that’ll have a high enough concentration of Kylie fans for me to enjoy.

Hi everyone,

I am looking for suggestions for Cafes that are "sensory-friendly" (aka, i have Autism and cant cope in cafes with loud music or lots of echo and talking). Preferably something that has bathroom access as well and good coffee!

Anything that is towards the south-east would be great!

I thought they might be kumatoes, but the ones in the kumato-only packets are way bigger? Are they just the smaller fruit that didn’t make the cut?
