Today I’m going with David to Heide and opshopping. In my flats I seem to have a new neighbour in the recently-completed otherwise eternally under-renovation flat. From a distance without my glasses on he appears to be Prince Harry

Along with You’re the Voice, and this ⬇️, I feel sure there’s a deep cut on Whspering Jack called Social Coheez Deez Nuts, but I really, reeeely don’t want to be reminded

They’re going to pick a boy for deputy. They gave girl leaders a try, and definitively established that girls are highly inappropriate

What it’s like to be in a lib #spill

Sarcastic thanks to my fellow middle aged trots of the Australian internet for giving me a vicious John Farnham earworm today

repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover

Glorious Future, supplier of glass panels in the automatic doors on the Metro Tunnel stations, and I ask you, who better.

My son ate 1.5kg of potatoes at dinner again today. It is a terrifying sight to see

I can’t tell from how the London Review of Books has composed these sentences whether they think Jessica Mitford had her priorities bang on, or…not. I don’t want to have to unsubscribe from the LRB again it was so incredibly difficult administratively the other time I had to

Look at this simp. Shits in a box. Woke #cat #woke

It’s going to be amazing, at last I can watch the ABC again

Last night I dreamed I invented a ricepaper roll that, instead of a chunk of fried tofu inside (I’m veg), there is a hot little cocktail spring roll in there with the noodles and cucumber and bean shoots and herbs etc. Gonna make some for reals this weekend.

Pies, cats, window-trees

For absolute fucks’ sake.

Imagine looking like and being this all the time. #cat

Herald Sun comments section habitués call for harsh punishments (or special treats, I guess)

“Yes my street is called Nazipaedo Boulevarde. No I don’t want it changed because I can’t be bothered telling the electric company to change my billing address” www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

About 18 months ago I self-published a graphic novel which I had worked on for three years. It’s a history of the Shrine of Remembrance, a stealth mode serious piece of history making . I have dedicated my life to radical cultural criticism dressed in sheep’s clothing and this book is no exception.

My 14yo consumed eight potatoes at dinner tonight (I had cooked a lot so there would be some for tomorrow night’s meal as well). It begins, clearly.

Who has read Diary of a Nobody. I am curious. My hunch is it’s always been a curates egg and now in 2026 is teetering on the brink of complete and utter reputational oblivion. I recommend it to death by the way

This story, this boy, this family. I’m a snivelling wreck. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

The worst insult imaginable used to be “You’re a virgin who can’t drive!” Somehow we got to a timeline where “You’re a fascist plutocrat pedo who can’t write a single literate sentence” isn’t even worth pointing out

Which hat are you wearing on Monday Feb 9, after work, to the massive protest against Isaac Hertzog’s visit to Australia?

These boys never go outside. Ever They love it in here

Hey my ladies What IS this shirt neckline. I only ever see it on Aust women MPs. Granted, I don’t buy clothes any more so maybe I’m wrong but my suspicion is it’s a speciality of the lady MP tailors they go to (for their pastel trouser suits etc) And because they see each other in it they buy it.

I’m quite attached to this zombie movie handprint in the basement car park at West Melbourne Aldi. I well remember when was new and fresh (about a year ago) & the smashed jar of El Tora salsa it was made from was still hardening on the ground. #localhistory

My cats, Chanticleer and Pompey, good boys

This is my ‘hood (it’s just near Fitzroy’s old ground.) And if they showed up today we would do this again.

Coming along

Ooh I love to watch The Box. These are scenes from episode 334, went to air in June 1975, starring Judy Nunn, Steven J Spears, Fred Betts, Jacqueline Kott, Peter Regan, Tony Barry, Paul Karo, Barrie Barkla, John Stanton, Ken James, Tracy Mann and heaps of other deadset legends

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

As a highly skilled and experienced dressmaker I have made hundreds of garments, this from May 2022 is still a favourite though

Yes, yes it is

We need Grant Hackett to sign a petition to get ASIO, the AFP and the WA police to take the failed attempt at mass murder seriously. Also, where are our “allies”?

David Nichols and I will be on 3RRR from 12-2 playing records and talking about what was in the news five years ago today. I had to read five year old Bolt to prep for this

They actually can’t lie more than they already do and video evidence is entirely meaningless, as the past few years of atrocities filmed in Gaza have shown.

Please enjoy like and share my Booktok about the upcoming award winning media publication SNOGUBBENS ADVENTURE, hottest pick for book club season. Due to library mixup I printed 40 copies at 20c each therefore my media empire will make 200% capitalist profit on this, setting new records for Art!

I want a market donut but I don’t want to line up for one. Thinking about asking someone who’s just bought five to give me one

Fucked up and went to the library 90 minutes before opening time so decided to check in on how things are these days with Melbourne’s most important physical reminder of the heritage and commemoration corner it’s backed itself into.

It’s marshmallow test season for Taylor and Hastie, I’m looking forward to finding out who loses (first [they’ll both get their turn]). Do marshmallows ever rise twice?

Bwahaha. Researching JA fandom in 2009. Thought I had lost this photo. The dress finally went to the op shop last year. I used to wear it occasionally particularly when I felt like I was being got at. Last time I wore it was to East Brunswick Coles in winter 2020 lockdown

Mark your calendars. This week marks the beginning of the end for Trump. Unfortunately, thanks to his ugly blundering, it also marks the end for an era of American leadership and international partnership that shall be sorely missed. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Right. Got that off my chest. Snogubbens Adventure, 16 page comic strip about what I think about when someone on the internet tells me that Hitler, like me, was a vegetarian. Designed to be colour printed on a municipal photocopier for 40c 🤓

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

David Pope in Canberra Times

Snogubbens Adventure coming along nicely. this snowman is a really unpleasant person and causes untold harm

Just because.

Hey I’ve got cats, how about you
