I feel a huge need to get on a plane and get the fuck out of this country. For no reason except it’s been 8 months and I get restless. Also look at my pretty embroidered notebook cover! Liberty fabric and chambray lining. Freestyle stitches by moi!

Just putting it out there, I just finished Old Man’s War @scalzi.com. I am generally not a science fiction or a war book reader but I really enjoyed this, the concept and storytelling was great! Started the next one, interested to see how it expands the story. Parts were even a little Douglas Adams

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

Wes Moore is giving Obama speech cadence.

Why did nobody tell me about this absolutely humongous sinkhole in the middle of Bangkok and all the people standing there filming it and nearly falling in. Insane! www.instagram.com/reel/DO-dMhS...

Perfectly normal behaviour for an internationally famous war criminal. I hope one day we see Trump and his cronies taking the same precautions. I hope those precautions fail.

Relatable comments.

SYDNEY PEOPLE: if you can get to Carriageworks today for the Native Food Festival, DO IT. Amazing flavours and culture.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

The comments here tell me that USA still hasn’t learnt anything.

Hillary Clinton: "Good lord -- the things that have been said about me, the lies that have been propagated. If I had only known I could call up the FCC chair and say, 'Take this person off the air! Off with his head!' You have to laugh about it so you don't cry."

Morning all.

My only additional comment on the whole "Tylenol causes autism" thing is that the brand team at Tylenol are probably cursing their market share right now. They've become the generic name for a product, and a lot of people won't see past that. It's like our "pink batts scheme" writ large.

So I was recording a meeting and I forgot to turn the recording off so there's about an hour of me talking to myself while working away and it's pretty much all this 🤣🤣🤣

Has Trump actually checked out the scenery around a coal mine or oil rigs? His personal hateful opinion on #renewables should never be the basis for the USA rejecting the crisis of global #ClimateChange

Susssssan Ley did fucking what???

Triple cat couch cuddles

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

My statement formally recognising the State of Palestine.

Just rewatched S1 of The Diplomat because I couldn’t remember what happened and geez it’s very very rewatchable. Now on to S2

From NYC. We have broken containment.

I know people currently in the US who this will affect. Thus is bad, bad bad.

This seems bad. I know many things are bad but this is also bad.

I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm Tear gas is an abortifacient. When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby. The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since. Horror movie stuff.

Big breakthrough in quantum computing as well as science communication from my friend Andrea Morello youtu.be/eVRfccYE0Ic?...

What the ever loving fuck is this? Like, literally what does this give the holder, aside from acute embarrassment??

Yesterday, I went to the Big Design Market (loved it, very fun, got cute things, it was crowded on Friday and will be INSANE today and tomorrow). I walked nearly 5,000 steps and did two bike rides. Today, I am in so much pain and so tired. I fucking hate this.

In more than half (54%) of the cases in NSW where a woman is charged with an F&DV assault, it turns out that those women were previously identified, by the same dumb-f*^k cops, as a victim of F&DV assault. Similar figures interstate. If women are First Nations, number goes up to 80%. Cops = fail

“You used to be able to say anything” comedians never been more quiet in their lives

I sent a proposal to a possible customer yesterday after sweating over it for three days and I am currently exercising EVERY BIT OF WILLPOWER I HAVE to not message them with “well? Thoughts??” right now.

The Regime has found quality, wholesome, patriotic programming for the citizens. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

reading a book about china. apparently the government there has sent federal forces into cities, taken shares of major private enterprises, slapped tariffs on industries, and pressured media outlets to fire people they politically disagreed with. didn’t know this.

This is a promoted post on linked In... when did this weird nepo baby become a colonel? Why is he promoting this shit onto anyone who's on LinkedIn (I cannot imagine any group other than Australians I could be in for targeting for this). Why is Anthony Pratt just so... weird? #auspol

Technical question: how do you “project” black? It’s darker than the background colour of the tower. How is it projected?

Style lessons from Robert Redford, one of the most stylish men in the last century. 🧵

Geez this one sucks. Redford movie festival coming up!

I had a nice day. Got some work done, after a good night’s sleep. Picked up some lunch from my fave bakery. Ticked things off the to do list. Had a bike ride. Met friends for dinner and jazz. Came home, did some embroidery and now bed. Pretty perfect actually.

Where do Australians fall on the “love of country” thing? I love my home and Sydney, sure. But I also love other places. Sydney is familiar and family (good and bad in both cases) but I don’t have merch. I do have a t shirt with some Aussie animals though.

I have got absolutely ZERO meetings booked this week. Nothing. Nada. I LOVE THIS.

As a lifelong “jeans and a nice top” girlie, I feel this outfit hard.

This bow placement is… unfortunate.

I have just booked a spot on a week long craft tour of Japan next March and I am soooo excited. Sashiko and kintsugi and shopping and all the crafts!

And for anyone saying “but his poor kids,” he wanted Trump’s “enemies” to be executed in public with children forced to watch. meidasnews.com/news/charlie...

For anyone saying “Charlie Kirk was a father,” so was George Floyd, and Kirk called Floyd a “scumbag” after his death. www.distractify.com/p/what-did-c...

This humidity is killing me

Jeffrey Epstein, a rags-to-riches story (from his notorious birthday book) These creeps knew exactly what was going on. Firing squad for all of them

My bedroom shutters broke last night so I slept without any window coverings (didn’t really sleep) and I have a deadline today for stuff that is for a workshop tomorrow (only received the stuff I need last night) and this is not going to go well.
