This is absolutely appalling, and shows how hard it is for people whatever their reason for applying for a restraining order - gender violence as well as free speech

I can, but the would oppose it, meaning another hearing. Getting a lawyer for that would cost the equivalent of 10% of my annual income, and put me at risk of my costs if I lost

I was in a court of law, reading out posts calling for my execution, posts about how how Arps was preparing his oven for me, and yet I was not able to get legal protection

The recommendations of the Royal Commission into the mosque shootings were not implemented, and groups like the FSU argued that we already have legislation to cover threatening speech. This case has shown that that legislation is not fit for purpose

I may be on the hook for more costs so will possibly have another crowdfund in the future. Also going to meet with my MP to discuss, so there could be some kind of campaign to reform our harassment laws

Hiring a lawyer for the hearing cost the equivalent of 10% of my annual income, if I wasn't able to crowdfund that I wouldn't have been able to take that case. Someone without the network I have couldn't do this

Harassment is already escalating as the far-right have just been given the OK by the legal system. My big concern, as mentioned in the article, is that people more marginalised than me will have an even tougher time getting justice

And now for the bad news. My application for a restraining order against Phil Arps was dismissed on a technicality. This has demonstrated how difficult it is to seek justice under our current harassment laws

Finally saw 'Freaks' last night, there's such a contrast between Browning's film about a group of marginalised people showing solidarity with each other and how it was marketed upon release, this poster is basically "you reckon these people fuck? Wouldn't that be weird? Come see the picture"

A relative of these two was my colleague in Gaza. If it is hard to glimpse the adult experience of this attack, it is impossible to imagine the effects on children.
Please help these two young people to re-establish their lives and educations if you can.

Some Millennials in my timeline are insecure because Gen Zs are telling them their ankle socks age them. I can't stress enough that you don't need to care about what a bunch of 20-somethings think about your clothes, mainly bc you don't have to care about what ANYONE thinks about your clothes.

I post this image for most old adventure films I watch but actually I don't think this one was that problematic, it's depictions of Muslim characters were certainly better than some of the recent Indian films I've watched recently (of course, this is 1977 so they are all played by white actors)

The New Zealand Companies Register remains deeply problematic in the post-infodemic rise of doxxing individuals from academia, health sector, politicians, judiciary, media, & what I studied today - from the transgender community. For years, no one saw database as an issue in a high trust society.
