Next Tuesday @cityofmelbourne will vote on whether to commission a new statue of leading suffragette Vida Goldstein. Only 10 of the 581 statues in the city are of real women. >>> RT if you think the Council should vote YES. theage.com.au/national/victo…

To the 20 year old jock on the phone at the gym who said “well, well, well” in a condescending tone when I called to cancel my membership, thank you for affirming my decision 🙏
