Today I had such an appalling encounter with an organisation’s admin staff that I came home and sent the organisation my resume for that exact job.

did you guys hear the president did another crime, did you know that, are you as shocked as i am, i can't believe it, i spit out my coffee when i heard it, im foaming at the mouth and barking at my phone over it, im going to post so hard about it and that will be my entire deal for eternity

Just stop with creating a false dichotomy between farm fields and solar farms. We literally can do both, at the same time, and have a win-win-win situation.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

#Auspol Hey One Nation voters, be warned, this is what your equivalent Party in the UK finds itself like when it wins.

If I typed fvck instead of fuck in front of my mum she’d tell me not to be a fucking idiot

Am I interested in a cat making wheel pottery? Yes instagram, of course I’m fucking interested

Yesterday the ABC posted a story with a headline claiming that 8 million Australians are on income support. This is entirely false but it's being weaponised to demonise people on welfare and undermine the social safety net. It’s a dangerous headline and the ABC needs to fix it.

In which the ABC's national work reporter uncritically reports that sick leave entitlements are a form of income support equivalent to welfare payments.

Labor’s failure to act on housing kills so many people each day, but reading the individual stories genuinely breaks your heart.

This is one of the most quietly revolutionary things any city can do to improve kids' lives & outcomes. If you genuinely care about kids having access to education or safe after school spaces & activities, then fund your libraries, staff your libraries, & make every public school ID a library card.

Remember this chart next time you hear someone say ‘Oh yeah well what happened before x?’ This is what happened.

Might not be exactly what the question is asking, but if I had the money I’d fully fund our local cat rescue. All the vet fees, an admin person, all the supplies and consumables, the lot

As a kid I was always taught that ‘lest we forget” means “never forget that war is horrible & wrong” - nothing to do with glorifying some noble sacrifice of heroes. It means remembering that people, families & communities were devastated by pointless wars we should never repeat.

I text my Mum *all the time* about dogs I see when I’m out. I’m 42 years old.

I hope they come back and trample his funeral

And not getting support for your disabilities can easily result in you accruing more disabilities/conditions. Didn't get support to manage your psychosocial disabilities so you could take proper care of your physical health? Great, now you have T2 diabetes/heart failure/rotten teeth, etc.

“We’re helping too many people with disabilities” is a hell of a line from a Labor government

The conversation about “unregistered” providers is a bit flawed. Just because a provider is not registered with the NDIS doesn’t mean that they’re not registered anywhere - your OT, speechie, physio, etc are all registered professionals.

No, you guys, really - look at my makeup

I know we all hate the internet and social media now, but watching so may over-40s makeup tutorials on Instagram has really paid off for me

Real Estate: Never Mind, It’s An Airbnb Now

‘Birthday Cake Lives Too Far Away’ is a bit of a mouthful, not so catchy. Sounds like a children’s book tbh

You gotta fight for your right to sit quietly doing nothing

Who could possibly have foreseen that the biased people who created these bots have created a product full of biases!

As a nation, we have decided that a teenager cannot navigate a social media algorithm, but a 10-year-old can navigate a courtroom. For Australia's 2025 UN youth representative Satara Uthayakumaran, the contradiction is impossible to ignore.

Shit seems really fucked in the uk

MASSIVE fan of this one:

One of my cats loves to escape and if the other sees him out the window, he will immediately run to us meowing so we can bring the escapee home

ender's game blew me away when I was fifteen but fortunately twenty-one years have happened between now and then. is your brain in read-only mode? pick up some new interests

AI is the deadly whisper of capital interests that betrays the working class in order to destroy it from within, and it couldn't be more simple than that.

Pro tip from someone who once got stuck in a beanbag while very pregnant: roll onto your belly then push onto all fours, then you can either stand or crawl to nearby furniture & pull yourself up. That way is less humiliating than having to call your husband for help.
