750 socceranzacs.com.au. We now have documented and confirmed 750 Australian soccer players enlisted in WW1. We are over 20 per cent of the way there. FWIW more than 50 of that 750 were killed at Gallipoli. #socceranzacs @FootballAUS @footballandwar

Australian nationalism is particularly stupid because none of the nationalists profess to like or engage with Australian history, art, music or culture at all. It's almost entirely just skin colour tbh.

One of the problems of leaving this toxic slime pit is that Blue Sky is not really up to speed on sokkah history and my followers haven't migrated. If you want to engage with my history content follow me on @iansyson.bsky.social because I'm only here to clean out my locker

Filipina friend had her tourist application to Australia refused. Judging from his fb page the guy who refused it appears to be a Qanon British migrant who is an Andrew Tate dads' rights type. I wonder how to proceed. No appeals allowed.

We now have documented and confirmed 700 Australian soccer players enlisted in WW1 #socceranzacs. We think we are over 20 per cent of the way there. FWIW 50 of that 700 were killed at Gallipoli. The 700th came from SA. I'll be migrating this material to Bluesky shortly

1919 from Tingira "The argument that "Australian" [rules] is an Australian product is also true of "Soccer," because thousands of us have learned the game here, not from so-called "Pommies," but from our own "Wallabies," just as we have learned to speak the English tongue"

Just took a photo of my eye. FFS. Anyone familiar with the “out vile jelly” scene in King Lear would understand.

Nurse: where do you live? Me: Footscray Nurse: you support the Bulldogs? The problem now is how to dispose of the body.

Experienced the hit of fentanyl prior to my operation. So much became clear about why the drug has become an addiction problem.

Nearly 700. We now have documented and confirmed 696 Australian soccer players enlisted in WW1. We think we are over 20per cent of the way there. FWIW 50 of that 696 were killed at Gallipoli. #socceranzacs from what state should no. 700 come?

The First Lady Elonia is fat, can’t jump, has hair plugs and has had jawline gender affirming surgery. Your move fat boy.
