Trump is straight-up using the military to murder innocent people. He's not even trying to hide it. It's out in the open and it's being treated by almost every media outlet like a police shooting on page B-3, if that.

Wouldn't it be great if instead of sun shades we had solar panels set up in car parks. Australia really is slow in these things. #Auspol

Was waiting for CSIRO to do a Met Gala thread, and they did not disappoint. Comparing outfits to moths. Turns out Australia has some stunning moths. Link to the FB post, which is sadly lacking alt text. Believe me when I say they found some perfect moth matches. www.facebook.com/share/p/18XZ...

So my Vitamin D is looooooow. Not a complete surprise for someone with ME/CFS, it's happened before. And yes, usually picked up at the end of an Australian summer. Do wonder if that's added to the joint pain. Off to get supplements. #ME/CFS

A previous reader of the new book club kit wore a very strong perfume. Trying to work out the least smelly book for my copy. It's all well and good using the library system until you get the smells. Thankful I've never struck smoke smells. 💙📚

I feel like I gotta re-up this for the Brits because their Chinese food is weird and they’re gonna say stuff like French fries and curry.

The bear.

Stunning photos

Repotted the plant. Everyone will be thankful that I kept my clothes on and did not join in World Naked Gardening Day.

Success. I managed to buy a replacement pot for one of my plants without also buying a new plant.

Spermmaxxing is a term I never want to see again.

Happy May Day🌿 #Beltane

I love all the replies I am seeing about this, people sharing memories of reading with their kids. The special voices, the hugs, the 'one more chapter'. I follow the best people. 💙📚

Being good, ignoring the pile and have started the book club book.

Feeling old. A song playing on the radio that the announcer did not realise was a cover of an Australian ( Sydney*?) classic. Love this take, have played it multiple times already. *surely everyone from a certain period in Sydney has a tale of at least one Oxley at a party? #AusMusic

That thing where all the reserves hit the library at the same time. Plus I still have to start the book club book for next week.👀 I can see late nights ahead. ( and we won't mention the fantastic I leave it up your you which is currently on my phone) #BookSky 💙📚

Going to gigs. Coming home, dumping clothes in the bathroom and then showering and washing my hair at stupid o'clock so I didn't breathe in more smoke. And yes, the times you didn't do that you noticed the difference.

So depressing. And the way things are going, the ramping up of aggression will probably come to Australia.

Yay Guy Mont's Spelling Bee is back.

I regularly swim in the Parramatta River. Less frequently now in the Lane Cove River. Always wait a few days after rain, always check pollution levels on government sites before venturing in. Lucky to be able to do it.

New books that I am hanging out to read: The Photonic Effect by @mikechenwriter.bsky.social Startup Hell by @caitlinrozakis.bsky.social I'd better be getting a book voucher for Mother's Day! #BookSky 💙📚 What's on your must read list? (which is a totally different beast to the TBR list)

Don't buy Tasmanian salmon.

Haven't been feeling great, so having the Australian comfort food of vegemite on toast for dinner.

I need to read the next book club book. I keep putting it off, because I think it will be an emotionally tough read.

Can we help make this the latest example of The Streisand effect. 👇

New conspiracy theory: The Brits were behind it....

Painkiller maths: If I am going out at x, and won't be home til y and took the previous dose at z, when is the best time to take the next lot of tablets. Argh. #ME/CFS

Koi practice this afternoon. 🧡❤️

Today's ear worm. #AusMusic

Argh, seems The Toilet Wars have hit Australia. Honestly, I don't care. As long as a public toilet is clean and well maintained. I have actually wanted to take photos (from the outside, people!) of some of the fantastic new blocks in parks. Individual cubicles, hand basins outside. Visible and safe.

Fucking Albo dragging his poor dead mother back into the conversation. #AusPol

Pick up the nearest book, turn to p. 42, and post the second sentence: They send off Kevin O'Brien in the style he deserves. Shellybanks - Louise Milligan @milliganreports.bsky.social #BookSky 💙📚

Good morning

When even fbi radio is playing Two Strong Hearts. #AusMusic Have to love community radio stations.

Purple anemone showing off this morning #vavavoom

Watching the documentary on SBS on Greek Milk Bars and Cafes. Interesting stuff. The racism of 1950s Australia was horrible (detention for a 'smelly' sandwich) And it is infuriating to think this is being stoked again today. #AusPol

Using my phone as a bookmark. it's a thing. #BookSky

What’s up doc? #seabirds #ukwildlife #photography #SuperSeabirdSunday @steelyseabirder.bsky.social

Late April. Or, as bluebells prefer to call it, "party season".

Oh look, the Strait is closed again. Doing the Hokey Pokey with it really. You put one boat through, you pull one boat back. Do it all again etc

So the gig last night was excellent but I have reached that level of tired/overdoing it today where my eyeballs ache. I'm also hobbling like I'm 100 when I do have to move.

When your snake mimic outfit ends up looking like a cartoon instead. This funky friend is a Sphinx Moth caterpillar found by @scibugs.bsky.social today. (Xylophanes crotonis) Intag Refugio, Ecuador
