While this is leagues better than last year’s xmas stamp of the weirdly masculine kangaroo and kookaburra combo that were definitely going to beat up your queer arse in an alley, there is something vaguely… uncanny? About this Santa in a rashie hanging out on a beach with penguins

A friend is trying to turn me into her “just called for a chat!” friend which, already i did not consent to this, but also she is a mum with a baby, I am an unemployed bum on a deeply anti-social schedule and every time she tries to call me is just NOT COMPATIBLE with my lifestyle

I love it when old friends learn new things about me

I love this film a lot, I don't push it on people often because Mamet is an acquired taste but it's so funny, so caustic, and it's important to know that not only is Phil the leading man but the ROMANTIC leading man and he's just beautiful in it

Was too poor and stupid to realise I was too poor to survive in the arts until after I’d wasted a lot of time, now I just do whatever I fall into that pays the rent (basically ‘what career path’)

Just got told off by a woman on the tram for giving a fella begging some money because apparently “he’ll just use it for drugs” I’m sure he’ll be getting some top tier heroin for my $1.70 Beryl

25 minutes into a 193 minute film and having the uneasy realisation of “uh oh I don’t think I like this” pray for mojo

Hooting/Hollering

guy on jeopardy today described as a 'stay at home dog dad.' shoot for the moon fellas

Important news, last night I made a risotto using broad beans that I GREW MYSELF and it was maybe the best risotto I’ve ever made

Was reminded by the book I’m currently reading, which was published in 2011, that you can use the internet to listen to radio stations from all round the world so that’s what I’ve been doing all evening, France has some banger classical music stations

A friend who has been out of work for a while offered to connect me with some of the recruiters she’s been using, I was like oh great sure thank you thinking it’d be 2-3 contacts, it is now over 10 and I don’t want to sound ungrateful but they are all now EMAILING AND CALLING ME AT ONCE

YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING CURSED???? HOW ABOUT NEON GENESIS LEHIGH VALLEY PHANTOMS HOCKEY?????

If I Had Legs I Would Kick You, or pouring one out for all the bad mothers there but for the grace of god I go

Chicago Bob, the cinephile’s pope, really is a delightful gift I did not see coming

I do not enjoy the sensation of sweating but my GOD does my hair and skin love being in a humid climate

I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people I’ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...

SATAN: So what makes you want to work here? Isn’t it a bit of a sideways move for you? ME: Well, sideways and down, haha SATAN: Haha ME: But I’ve been working in the sector for a while, and I feel this is where the action is SATAN: Your most recent role was… ME: Cinema website designer SATAN: Sweet

Spotted the most beautiful and rare of species at the bus stop this morning, the Brisbane Goth. May all those committed to the true dark arts here in the tropics thrive and prosper

Truly love the delicious promise of a band setting up and there’s just a giant saxophone on stage

getting a text in the middle of the night and it's just my loathsome vizier saying "Your enemies lie in wait, my lord!!" what am I supposed to do with that. its four in the morning

KEEP HONKING I'M LISTENING TO THE HONEYED LIES OF MY TREACHEROUS VIZIER

Hallo from beautiful overcast Queensland, where the first thing I saw upon landing was a poster advising me that tomorrow is ‘Steve Irwin Day’ honestly why isn’t that a nationally observed public holiday at this point

hey man you busy? wanna go the bar at noon and read the wikipedia page for pogs?

Bedlam! At the Virgin Australia bag drop (hello from the airport)

@andersf.bsky.social GOOD MORNING deadline.com/2025/11/tom-...

I frankly don’t deserve to be confronted with so many James Bond takes first thing upon waking, disgusting filth

Nakadai is all over your Criterion jidaigeki classics. He’s the star of RAN, HARAKIRI, SWORD OF DOOM (a personal fav), the antagonist in YOJIMBO and ZATOICHI GOES TO THE FIRE FESTIVAL (another personal fav), he’s amazing in the Yuki Onna segment of KWAIDAN.

RIP Tatsuya Nakadai One of the best to ever do it. An expert at being a wild-eyed, haunted weirdo.

A friend was telling me today about how a possum broke into her wardrobe via a hole in her house’s roof and she opened the wardrobe doors to discover the fluffy guy RUSTLING THROUGH HER SMALLS DRAWER (possum reference photo for the benefit of the North American cohort)

Took Alex’s always excellent advice and watched this last night and my GOD absolutely triumphs over the hoary old lie that Marilyn was a poor actor (also! Features Anne Bancroft in her first screen role!)

Went on a little road trip with @andersf.bsky.social yesterday to Kyneton and Castlemaine, ate a highly awarded pie, hung out with @cinemelo.bsky.social and her chickens, and went to Pride, struggling to picture a better time that could be had

Watching The Music Man for the first time, and I knew this influenced whole great rafts of American comedy but WOW it really is load-bearing

Got a job interview in half an hour gang, can I get some “hope these people are not weirdos and want to make the best personality hire they’ll ever make in their life” going in the chat

Thank you to @agnesfm.bsky.social for sharing on Insta this guy who is painstakingly building a 3D digital model of the Harold Holt Swim Centre and while doing so recounting all the batshit history around the disappearance of Holt, may the sea return him www.instagram.com/reel/DPWPdvB...

goddamn two hit posts in a day I've over-fermented I need to go lie down in a dark room and get boring again

Congrats to Mira Nair’s son, this is nowhere near the level of achievement as directing Mississippi Masala but a good start

I love walking in the local dog park to observe the pups but I don’t go around patting strange dogs cos that’s how fools get bit, but this morning a little brown curly mop ran up to me and BEGGED for pats and wouldn’t let me stop until I had to tell them “your people are leaving! You gotta go!” 🥹

ANUBIS: (presses button with paw) [guilty] OSIRIS: im sorry he does this when he's hungry ANUBIS: (button) [guilty] [bad] [food] OSIRIS: you already ate ANUBIS: (button) [bad] [bad] [bad] OSIRIS: he's right though we weighed your heart against the feather and its not looking good

I by geographical right should know nothing about these mayors and yet alas I know way too much about these mayors

Apparently a METEOR came down in Gippsland today?!! My mum said she heard a loud boom and the house shook (my dad was too busy cooking at the pizza oven he built for himself out back and didn’t notice anything but says he’s ready to board the mothership 👽)

Givin’g ‘em the ol’ razzle dazzle.

The cocked leg as he slid into home?? That is ÉLAN if the Jays don’t win this I will be BEREFT

Turned out to be an absolute fizzer unfortunately, kids were dressed up and walking around the neighbourhood but only seemed to be visiting the same 3-4 houses? No idea what the deal was, anyway Australian Halloween rating remains a bog standard 5/10 we don’t know what we’re doing

An Australian horror story: I’ve been unmoored in time since being unemployed and woke with a start this morning realising “Hayley today is Halloween, for the first time in your life you live in a neighbourhood decked to the nines in spooky shit and there is zero (0) candy in your diabetic house”

I think they should invent a drug that lets you wipe your memory of John Carpenter movies so you can watch them fresh every Halloween. And then John Carpenter should make a movie about this drug's terrifying side effects.

Hallo something good you can do today! Kutjala is an Aboriginal community in need of a new bus to help kids get to school, elders get to health appointments, attend sorry business etc. If there’s no bus the whole community is in strife. Help them out if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/support-ku...

still annoyed that they never made that horror follow up to Paris, I Love You called Paris, I'll Kill You

I buy my mum a Hannakin tea towel every year for Xmas she LOVES them and I do too, they’re beautiful quality whether you want to hang them up for decoration or use them for actual dish drying, also LOOK AT THESE LITTLE GARLIC GUYS! TOO CUTE! 🧄🧄🧄

Del Toro knows what the girlies want, it’s Oscar Isaac plumbing new depths as a horrid little fancy bastard man (it’s me, I’m girlies)
