This is difficult to watch, but necessary. I’m Australian and am well aware of bias in reporting. Full respect to @propublica.org for getting there and hearing first hand accounts from people who are directly affected by the drop in USAID funding. We need more of this: youtube.com/watch?v=G7Te...

Just because. What’s your coffee order? 👋☕️🇦🇺 This is a latte on oat with ham and cheese croissant.

Hey US tourism, what’s with the non-US ad spend? We’re not coming. No pretty pictures of mountains nor pithy slogans is going to negate the news we wake up to each morning. We see what’s happening. Miss you USA 🌏💔🇺🇸

Liberal MP Andrew Hastie has slammed Donald Trump after the US president claimed allied soldiers "stayed a little back" from the frontlines in Afghanistan "This is a massive slur...President Trump, by dumping on allied troops, has shown neither mutual respect or restraint"

So I’m ‘graduating’ into a wheelchair, so my feet don’t muck up so much. It’s going to take a bit, but right now I’m looking at Bunnings for wheelchairs I’m looking for a wheelchair at Bluey’s ‘Hammerbarn’. 😎🤔🇦🇺 (Bunnings has now suggested I might like a Cordless Line Trimmer with my gloves. No.)

Can I just shout out the incredible people at The John Hunter Hospital (Newcastle 🇦🇺) who are looking after these puppies? My feet infections are easing and let’s face it they look pretty badass at the moment These staff are professional, kind and patient. So grateful to be Australian 👋☕️🇦🇺

There’s a context here but this can stand on its own There’s no such thing as ‘proper grammar and spelling’ There’s Standard grammars and spellings, and there’s appropriate grammars and spellings, but not ‘proper’ ones 1/2

Happy New Year from Sydney, Australia! 👋☕️🇦🇺 May 2026 be far better than 2025 www.youtube.com/live/2CLcUeS...

So it’s New Year’s Eve here in Sydney. I won’t be able to acknowledge quickly, but I’d love some book recommendations for 2026. Happy New Year 👋☕️🇦🇺

Today it’s somewhere between Christmas Day and 5 Jan when the world opens again, although I’m not sure what day it is 👋🇦🇺 It’s the perfect time to disengage the brain and

Good news for Chrissy. My feet are stable and I’ve got nursing once a week now instead of twice. I’m doing a happy dance in my head 🧑🏼‍🎄👋☕️🇦🇺🥾

Pause. Verify. Don’t boo on cue. I stand with @albomp.bsky.social 👋❤️🇦🇺

Every night, deliberately, I take something that means something to me and give myself a thought-to-carry to bed with me. Been helpful. Thought I’d share today’s TTC. Tonight it’s from Paul McCartney’s ‘One of These Days’… “Get grounded. Look clearly. Breathe. Choose what’s right. “

I don’t usually shout out politicians but I will here… Albanese and his govt are doing a great job in a very difficult situation, post Bondi attack. MainAust media is taking the calm, measured actions as doing nothing. Labor isn’t perfect but I am so thankful we didn’t get the LNP last election ❤️🇦🇺

Remember friends, crime and violence are sh*t teachers.

Great… I’m reading reports that Musk’s AI bot is lying about people and facts about the Bondi attack a couple of days ago. Please fact check your information - go with reputable sources like Australia’s ABC or the BBC. We all stand together 💔🇦🇺

I wasn’t going to share anything about the senseless tragedy yesterday at Bondi (Sydney, Australia), but this bloke said what I was thinking. Condolences and love to all those affected. We all stand together 🇦🇺💔 youtube.com/shorts/EZ8Iz...

"While the victims of the massacre at Bondi Beach were still bleeding, Benjamin Netanyahu - architect of the genocide in Palestine - blamed Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese." Butt out, Netanyahu #auspol michaelwest.com.au/butt-out-of-...

US friends, this is what Australian news is showing us here… TL;DR - We aren’t coming to your place, even for the football: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I’m Australian. I just got carded by BlueSky 💙🦋🪪 I’m okay with that because while it isn’t perfect policy, I agree that we need to help our children with the perils of social media But I also admit I’m kind of flattered that I needed to be age checked 👋☕️🇦🇺

I got a lot of unearned prizes as a kid: mum wanted attention and I had (awesome) facial cleft scarring This Trump peace prize thing is really sad and weird. My ‘prizes’ were socially awkward and even now I’m cringing Imagine being so in need of attention that you want to be that socially awkward?

Hey NSW and Aussie friends, heatwave advice for Saturday 6 Dec: youtu.be/nwklMZL_NsY?si

It’s high bushfire warning weather and I used an electricity pole for shade while waiting for a taxi for 10 minutes. And the only slight sunburn I got was on the back of my left elbow. I just wanted to celebrate that. 👋☕️🇦🇺😎🔥

Hi US friends! Because the news has been an ugly shade of orange lately, I’d like to share a guy named Josh travelling to and walking around my city of Newcastle NSW 👋☕️🇦🇺 It’s quite relaxing and picturesque. Enjoy: youtu.be/E0Cck2DALOs?...

Had lunch with The Fellow’s family at the shopping centre, and after went to the little newsagent to look around. First visit to shopping centre in five years… Found this book that I’ve been looking for for ages, it was a cancelled order that had just been put on the shelf… Happy here 👋☕️🇦🇺📚🏕️

One of my favourite things to do in my tucked away, little inner city apartment is stick my middle finger up at the people who dare to speed in loud cars on the street downstairs.

I’m a Disabled Australian. My society supports me to live a life of dignity and purpose even when I’m not able to work. It’s not a perfect system but I’m grateful. We’re watching the Medicaid cuts in the US and USians need to see this from Audrey & Jeremy’s perspective: youtu.be/X6bulkw9YU0?...

So my two 2026 green Moleskine daily diaries arrived yesterday afternoon and I am disproportionately happy about this… I was also able to walk by myself to the package room to fetch them. I’m on a joy hat-trick… 👋☕️🇦🇺📗☺️

Omg… Just asked Chat GPT 5 to gather articles on ‘Mar-a-Lago face’ and after it did, it ‘carefully’ advised me not to have the work done because it would compromise my cleft repair Of course I don’t want to get a ‘Mar-a-Lago face’ I haven’t laughed so hard in ages that AI would think I’d want to 🥸

Today I’m reading Hugh Mackay’s ‘Beyond Belief’. It’s been quite a journey staying off my feet, waiting for them to heal - so I’ve been journeying in other ways. (Rather than tripping… My mind is the better for it…) 👋☕️🇦🇺

I’ve had a similar conversation with non-linguist friends over the last few days, so I thought I’d ask you too… How ‘connected’ are you with an AI model? How do you check what it is saying? How much do you trust it? If you can, learn some Linguistics. AI may not be doing what you think it is 👋☕️🇦🇺

It’s 6:50am. We are at a cafe. The Fellow has his last exam - property law - this morning at 9am. He’s in his last year, so it may be his last exam ever. I’m so ridiculously proud of this guy 👋☕️🇦🇺

Forget the ‘timeline cleanse’: You’re welcome… 👋☕️ youtube.com/shorts/xX8Vh...

@daryltractor.bsky.social just need to say the ‘Erika’ moniker is ahem… a kicker. Love it. 🚜👋☕️🇦🇺

The security guard that got fired at Menards for filming Trump's masked thugs brutally kidnapping a man is now making headlines everywhere. Thanks for keeping the story going and sharing the video I posted. It's a reminder of the impact we can have. 💪💪

With my Linguist hat on, this is why AI is dangerous when used as a therapist. I use it to think through tasks that need a lot of research. I give it boundaries that say ‘case study’ not therapy & use good sources And it just sent my this. It’s due to programming and algorithms This chills me 😳

I didn’t wait until the start of next year to begin a reflection time. Breathe, gratitude, daily reflection, takeaways, actions to do, check in with myself, pack up get up. At the moment, I’m doing a mix of ‘The Daily Stoic’ and a great Critical Thinking guide. A great way to start the day… 👋☕️🇦🇺
