Any electrician knows that Lego bricks are genderless, not 'heteronormative', because each can 'mate' with any other. Perhaps Science Museum staff should study to be electricians and actually make themselves useful.

offsite link Why All Parents Should Protest Against the Children?s Wellbeing and Schools Bill Tue Feb 11, 2025 18:14 | Elizabeth Dulley

Philip Ruddock, Federal Attorney General to Australian, hopes to eclipse the neo-cons of the US in the race toward the fascist ideal of social uniformity and control (oppression). Ruddock has invoked his new 'anti-terrorist' laws – not to protect against ‘Islamic terrorists’ as claimed – but to silence voices of opposition, protest and dissent, as was the real intention. The charade was short lived; it was Ruddock’s inadequate and compensatory personality that 'blew it' for the entire conservative right. read full story / add a comment
