“My question is, ‘Why would you want to use language that is known to be hurtful, and that people are asking you not to use?...You're showing who you are as a human being if you think that's OK to still use words that people tell you are hurtful to them.” #Disability ♿

Have you seen this?

Love yous pass it on 🌱

Time for a cheeky nap?

Playing the game Shadow Or Bruise? (Of course it's a bruise!)

I've never been a horsey girl, but seeing the clippy cloppy cops on Chapel St makes me sad. Horses belong on grass, not tram tracks.

I need to go to the past office and I think I missed the weather window watching the Artemis splash down 🌧

As the Integrity crew splashed down TO THE MINUTE of their estimated arrival and hit the BULLSEYE, this is a reminder that Katherine Johnson was an absolute genius. My God. #NASA #ArtemisII

The Victorian state election later this year will feature a statewide trial of low-sensory voting centres, for people with neurodivergent conditions. This is a great initiative, will make voting more accessible. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04... #vicvotes

Do they hold voice auditions for Mission Control? They all seem to have the same dulcet tones.

I always have the subtitles on my TV and they give a great alternative commentary. Artemis II is currently completing the Rose Byrne manoeuvre.

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

Good morning, y’all. It’s #FundFriday once again and I am happy to repost any requests for #MutualAid that anyone would care to share! Here’s a feed to review in case anyone might have a moment to repost or a dollar or two to share.

I waited until the window had been closed for 25 minutes and then went for groceries. Of course that's when I get a message to say he's 5 mins away. At least job is done, I can put on my jammies, and fall in a heap.

LRS: Alt text has existed since 19 fucking g-d damn 93, do fucking better for fucks sake. It's not some Conspiracy™️ for LLMs. The bigger conspiracy is why you fuckers won't *use* it. It's been a requirement for images since 1999 🥲

Workforce Australia IT system has crashed again. Mutual Obligation participants saying they can't log in and report points to keep their payments

Melbourne! If you love satire and civics this is for you. Hear from the co-founder of @theonion.com as well as @thebigjohnnyd.bsky.social, and me! events.humanitix.com/the-business...

I get why tradies give you a window of time for their visit. I do. I really dislike being unable to do anything else while I'm waiting. I need to buy groceries. I want to clock off. I'd actually like to curl up on the couch with some chocolate cake and a doona.

@mspraxis.bsky.social Is it me, you, or Bsky? I'm seeing all your images like this.

Tapping out a response then hitting cancel, because who can be bothered today?

I see we're having several of the weathers today.

Alt text use is tanking. Please fill in the alt text on images you share. It makes a huge difference.

If you say “Boomer” into the mirror three times, one of your 70 year old relatives appears on your Facebook timeline asserting their support for Ben Roberts-Smith.

If you’ve moved away from religion, it’s important that you reflect this at Census time. When the national Census is held in August, you will have the opportunity to mark ‘No religion’ if you’re not religious anymore. Find out more: censusnotreligious.org.au #Census26 #NotReligious

Picked up some end of day bread from Phillippa's and it's taking more willpower than I possess not to hoof into the entire loaf. Had I left some butter out of the fridge, it would be but a pleasant memory. If you don't know about it, you should definitely check out the TooGoodToGo app.

I wore my Hush Puppies gumboots out this afternoon, and it was like walking on a cloud. I didn't even mind that the tram driver shut the doors on me and I had to wait for the next one.

Happiness is a rooster outside in the sunshine after months of bird flu restrictions 🤩

Israel’s attacks in Lebanon are horrific. They've killed over 250 people and wounded more than a thousand in the last day. 1.1 million people are displaced. Lebanese people are paying the ultimate price. But Israel’s violence is also undermining the ceasefire and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Love a big crack of thunder when I'm about to go catch a tram! ⚡️ #MelbourneWeather

Why does the task only take 20 minutes, when I've spent two weeks building it up in my head?

Just give people a liveable amount and let them make their own choices

See these metacarpals? I know them like the back of my hand

An ordinary citizen threatens to use bombs to commit mass murder and destruction and they get called a terrorist, arrested immediately and sentenced to life in prison for the safety of the community. A President does it and there’s no consequences

Terrible sleep, weird dreams, waking up to see what fuckery has happened while I slept.

This administration doesn’t care about law but you don’t have to make it easy for them.

Here’s a blast from the past. #ClosePineGap #AusPol

Few people who aren't directly affected by it understand how intensely racist the welfare system is: from forced unpaid labour, to compulsory income control with cashless welfare, to the extraordinary rate of penalties doled out for "failing" to complete compulsory activities. If you're affected 👇

Hello lovely people. Just a heads up, if you're looking to order a copy of Tiny Moments of Joy for Mothers Day, now would probably be the time to start thinking about it😊🪻🌸💐 www.swashbucklerpress.com/tiny-moments...

Should I throw out all dinner plans and make a big pot of pasta instead?
