Oh look, it’s Pompey. Today is his and his brother’s vet-assigned birthday. They’re seven. Neither of them has ever worn any clothes at all, not even for a second. Rude!

My holds at the library are the holds of a sucker for punishment who also really doesn’t know how to party

Little drawing of the Paul Montford statue of Adam Lindsay Gordon.

losing it that these were the best pics of John Howard that AAP could get today

Dear Liberals, Yes, keep on listening to Advance. You still hold 9 metropolitan seats out of a possible 88, you’ll be needing to get rid of those somehow. Also, bye. Love, Me

This statement in itself is a piece of breathtaking sycophancy. I recommend Albo bring the gold encrusted golf club set to the meeting

Hey everyone in the media Stop mindlessly repeating that James Paterson is a ‘rising star.’ He’s an opposition senator, and therefore, irrelevant. Love, me

Model Tudor Village (detail). Sending tins of dripping we got out of our grill drip trays to England in WWII was beautiful payback for the English, but we were only a young Commonwealth, inexperienced in the ways of Imperial trolling & they sent us the MTV in retribution & now we’re stuck with it.

To the surprise of no-one, the National Press Club wasn't expecting anyone to actually investigate.

My little babies, they’re so aimless

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09... Well cmon Andrew Hastie we’re all waiting, this was ages ago, I realise it’s a 24 hr news cycle and we all forget, sure, but this was a bigarse promise you made

I need some help. I’m groping for a list of instances of zeitgeisty phrases / concepts that have something to do with the retention or disposal of objects / possessions. Please help me think of them. They needn’t be current but I do want them to be recognisable.

Hey I went to the movies on Thursday. The child serving ice creams put the smallest possible amount of ice cream in my cone and the trailers made me turn to my partner and opine that the movies are completely finished as an art form. Then the couple beside us talked and laughed through the feature.

The piece of toast pictured here popped so hard out of the toaster that it fell into the sink. Confronted with empty toaster I had to hunt for it to work out what had occurred. I didn’t hear the toast pop because I was listening to STEELY DAN

The first in a new series of videos following young writers in Gaza. Here, Batool Abu Akleen reads her poem, Judgement Day, from her searingly powerful debut collection. Please watch and share widely. youtube.com/watch?v=mHunLNYShWI&feature=youtu.be

Somehow not the most insane term I’ve seen in a residential lease.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... when #auspol brings much-needed comic relief from what’s happening elsewhere.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... “Several MPs say the activist group’s advertising push is becoming a problem for the party because ‘you cannot win from the margins’” Cool but someone should remind them it’s also a problem cos it’s assimilationist xenophobic rubbish and most people find it gross

George V Memorial While I drew this I wondered why I bother drawing now there is AI 🤷

Well I watched Pride and Prejudice (1995) with my teenager who enjoyed it hugely of course and who now says that his purpose in life is to marry someone with ten thousand pounds a year.

I hope the New Yorker survives but you know what? I’m not sanguine

Australia has imposed 1,600 sanctions in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine. 1,600. And Israel? About a dozen, against individuals and groups - but not on trade. It’s not that we can’t act against a genocide, it’s that we are choosing not to.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

Today we propose to sanction extremist ministers and violent settlers, and suspend trade concessions with Israel. And put bilateral support to Israel on hold, without affecting our work with Israeli civil society or Yad Vashem. link.europa.eu/nx3DrG

My offspring is on day 3 of being sick, so

Hell yeah

The issuing of PINs (here and at UTS) to duty holders in universities engaged in slashing staff jobs is a good thing. May it put the fear of god into administrators who think they have carte blanche to wreck and destroy and that consultation is a mere box tick. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Here’s a pencil and watercolour drawing of the Elvis Memorial at Melbourne General Cemetery. An interesting technical challenge, to draw something of which the essence is dog’s breakfast, without the drawing becoming also dog’s breakfast

Ooh I love to watch The Box it is a great show

This is Pompey, my cruel, mean, dirty, oafish little baby. The raised paw means he’s begging for pats like the utter, worthless slob of a bastard that he is ❤️

If you're shocked by Price's view on the Indian community, wait until you hear her views on First Nation communities.

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09... I’m sure I speak for the entire international underground comics and cartoons sector when I say that the Trump/Epstein birthday letter is a grotesquely awful challenge to our core stance that anyone can draw

Big turnout at this morning’s rally against @mupublishing.bsky.social vandalism of Meanjin. @beneltham.bsky.social called for Meanjin’s name and archive to be surrendered so the magazine can be published by someone who deserves to and appreciates the honour

Hey universities! I’ll do any of your vice chancellor’s jobs for HALF what you’re paying them! Probably won’t do it worse! Call me www.afr.com/politics/fed...

Lmao at this open letter to the Unimelb VC proposing she pay for Meanjin with a 10% salary sacrifice that would still leave her better paid than the VC of the University of Cambridge It was my joy to sign, & I recommend doing so to all in the world of arts & letters

I’m thinking about maybe doing a little graphic and text project on some of Melbourne’s heritage places and things, concentrating on the unprotected, the unfashionable, the overlooked and the embarrassing. This sculpture is much loved but is privately owned and has no heritage protection

Weirdly specific denial in this Guardian article that Melbourne Uni’s board didn’t play any role in killing Meanjin
