Has it always been the “Melbourne Royal Show”? I thought it was the Royal Melbourne Show. Or maybe I’m thinking of the Royal Melbourne Hospital...

The community are angry that Labor are in bed with dirty coal and gas. We vented our feelings outside Sarah Witty MP’s office in Fitzroy this afternoon. #climatecrisis #auspol

I'm a family portrait photographer. In my job you become a good judge of character. I'm convinced that at a number of the kids I've photographed will grow up to be high profile murderers. I'm keeping the pics to sell to the newspapers when they are convicted.

Norwegian folklore includes the belief that if you see a face in the mountains, it's a troll. I am concerned that the troll in question is the well known Count Olaf, from A Series Of Unfortunate Events. 🎶Look away, look away...🎶

Oh, here’s the biscuit…

A “cookie” with icing in the image of my mother (who died in 1964) at the launch of Bruce Watson’s 2nd video collection of folk musicians, which I attended yesterday. it was a wonderful, cosy, welcoming and low-key event with some musos who are still alive in attendance (like Margret RoadKnight). 😆

Niece told me I might be suffering from “bitch eating crackers” syndrome. I had to look it up and she’s right. #BEC

If you ever think English is not a weird language just remember that read and lead rhyme and read and lead rhyme. But read and lead don't rhyme, and neither do read and lead.

What’s having ADHD like? Well about a week ago I decided to start embroidering and made a stitch book and then today I finished this.

It’s weird but I recognise where this season of Mystery Road is filmed. I’ve been to that lake. It’s in south west WA. Amiright?

Arranging some stone and wood this morning. #textiles #textileart #beadwork #crochet #stones

Is it me? I followed the instructions on how to download all my posts so I can delete my Twatter account after 1 month. Left it for 5 weeks and just went in to have a look and the account is still there. Why is it so?

What’s that? A steampunk town, you say? Somewhere in New Zealand? Yup. #SundayPixRailway #SundayPix #Oamaru

The Indian Pacific, at Cook, a stop in the middle of the Nullarbor. #SundayPixRailway #SundayPix

I never meant to write a bestseller. I just wanted to see if I had the mental discipline to write a book. It surprised me that it did so well - I’m continually amazed that historians and physicists don’t spit on me in the streets. Although give them time. https://amzn.to/4jZXW8r

Reminder: The existence of these in most Scottish supermarkets and corner shops is proof that anyone shilling for the notion that multiculturalism can't work on this island is a charlatan

So many options in the “celebrity travel” shows.

Yemenis march in support of Gazans.

An Israeli conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Ilan Volkov has been arrested at a protest near the Israel-Gaza border. Last week, a clip of him at the Royal Albert Hall condemning Israel’s actions in the almost two-year long war in Gaza went viral #Channel4News

Good afternoon

*inventing Bluetooth* Well, it works about 60% of the time. That’ll probably be good enough forever.

Do you remember… 🎶🪩 And the approaching vernal equinox 🔭

Japanese chef Chikahiro Naoya has been holding a protest every week outside Israel's Embassy in Tokyo by himself. He's shouting "Stop the Genocide, Free Palest

The Viennese are protesting against the genocide in Gaza today. #FreePalestine

Canadians are marching for equity, justice and peace today.

Sally Rooney won the Sky Arts award for literature for Intermezzo. Her editor collected it for her as she couldn't travel in case of arrest for her support for Palestine Action. "to reiterate... and my solidarity with the people of Palestine." We are proud of her always. #BDS #SolidarityIsAVerb

Welcome home little gang. I'm really pleased to have you all back. #embroidery #textileart #handembroidery #stitchedbirds #felt

Michael Eisner hasn't gone WOKE, sweeties. None of the assholes have. They're about to lose money and they know it. They bet on the wrong dictator. Fuck them.

Hmm..."unilateral recognition" 🤔 "As of March 2025, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 147 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, or just over 76% of all UN members." Wikipedia ...I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to your country..

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Things were better when computer was in room. Now everywhere is computer. This is bad. Computer should never have escaped room.

Launceston Flotilla in Solidarity with Gaza today. Look at all those wonderful people and flags on that historic bridge

Imagine your house burning down because someone ordered a $2 phone case 😅

On September 20th the Hub is uniting forces with tens of thousands people mobilizing across Canada. Our struggles are connected & we call on #YYC to stand with us as we demand a better world for all. Join us for this national #DayOfAction to #DrawTheLine for #climate resilience & justice!

Good morning! Today I'd like you all to disconnect completely from the ongoing horrors. I won't post, so you will not miss anything critically Goldblattian. Go.

I‘ve never seen any of the Ocean movies, so I’m watching Ocean’s 8 tonight. And here is where I learn what the Met Gala actually is. 😂😂

🚨Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal is a current - not former - top executive of pro-Israel lobby group the Executive Council of Australian Jewry. Has held role at all times since appointed Envoy. Explosive revelations. Major foreign interference questions... theklaxon.com.au/y8fq

Vacuumed / steamed the kitchen floor, made a huge pumpkin soup, was firm with the co that doesn’t want to do ANYthing about my induction stovetop (the tech report said everything is working fine. IT’S NOT.), tried my hand at the theme to Severance on the piano, had a Luther’s key lime pie ice cream.

"Almost two-thirds of the cost relate to wages that would have been incurred anyway" Anti-genocide protests do not require that much policing, it's the racist, fascist, Nazi parades that need attention If Southwick is so worried about costs, he should get @albomp.bsky.social to SANCTION ISRAEL NOW

Growing up in Melbourne, I don’t remember big winds in the spring. But maybe, as a kid, I didn’t really notice. However, in the past 30 years, since returning here, I DO notice them, enough to blow down our back porch some time ago, for instance. Has this changed, do you think? #MelbourneWeather

USING YOUR LIBRARY CARD IS REVOLUTIONARY PRAXIS PASS IT ON

Times births column today

I hung out (brought in & folded) the laundry, watered indoor plants, dropped off a big bag of cans at the Container Deposit Scheme, did the shopping, changed the bed sheets, waited for the internet tech (yay!), caught up on emails, made a new salad for lunch, did some knitting, charged batteries.

Sometimes, in Severance, Adam Scott‘s face reminds me of Frank Woodley‘s.
