Afghan women's refugee cricket team celebrates ICC funding, pathway to internationals

This is pretty cool.

is subspace down for everyone or just me

New injury unlocked: I've somehow managed to hurt my lower right back in such a way it hurts when I go from sitting to standing. I can twist & turn, bend walk etc., just fine and without any pain, but moving from a seated position to standing - it's enough to make me stop and wait for it to ease up.

Eh, I'd be meh. One does financial counselling, the other is unable to work for disability reasons but used to work in a high school in a classroom support type role. tbf, they'd both struggle with my job too.

I am heartbroken 💔 Vale, Sam Neill.

Millenia from now, historians will argue bitterly about the meaning of the sole recovered fragment of documentary evidence recovered from this age. Letters painted on a wall in a buried London alley. “F CK HIM UP B NFACE!!”

As someone who knows the name of both my local state and federal MPs, and my local council members, I’m invested in Count Binface for the win. I’ll bet he’s had more to do with the local electorate than old Nige has or cares about.

It’s 3am, I’m awake because I had a dream about how the big and very important data entry job I had to do Monday/Tuesday last week had been done wrong. 😑 It’s submitted, I can’t change anything & I followed the instructions to the letter. Why, brain? Why?

I had to read this twice due the huge amount of WTF-ery going on here. No, his opinion was not valid, and she was 100% right to ignore him. This is right up there with the men who get upset at their partners breastfeeding their children, because babies should be bottlefed in their opinion.

My parents listened to mostly rock, and always Top 40 from whatever year we were in.

Baffle no more. My @smh @theage cartoon.

the Juice Media honest ads are always worth a watch.

You'd think I'd learn from past experience, that I must keep my fluids up or my legs will cramp randomly and horribly, regardless of the season. You won't believe who's had leg cramps today, and foot cramps tonight. 🤦🤦🤦

Not another One Nation shout out in the MSM?! Yes! But at least this one is a funny sneering cartoon. Or is it?! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is horrific.

I like this one better.

Australians will pause at 11am tomorrow to observe a minute’s silence, in order to reflect on the hardships endured by rich men who sabotaged their careers on purpose in order to generate maximum media coverage and victimhood status.

Out of his control? A 45 year old man and a 17 year old girl, and it was out of his control that he murdered her? He only feels bad because he didn't leave the country quick enough. I hope he rots in a Thai jail.

The oldest things in my house that, while I don't currently use every day they do get used often, are the cookbooks, cookware and serving ware I inherited from my grandmother and my mother. My favourite is my mother's rolling pin. It's older than me and very well loved.

One of the people I follow on tumblr has been reblogging nothing but original series Quantum Leap gif sets for the past few days. I'm not complaining, I liked the show, and it's been fun to see if I recognise the episode or not.

Going through a period of all over random body hurts. Neck and shoulders are tight, lower back decided to seize the other night (better than it was, still being careful), thighs are telling me to drink more water and my feet are really sore for no real reason.

If only there was some kind of parliamentary code of conduct regarding gifts and donations that is applicable to all politicians...

I wouldn’t trust her to run a chook raffle let alone an attempt to run the country.

Today, Pauline Hanson complained about people who have difficulty speaking English. Luckily, her speech provided the perfect example for anyone wanting to learn the language.

The changes to CGT and negative gearing were 'Ground Zero' for the housing crisis. Since then, many changes have been introduced to try to make up for the fact that investors, not owner occupiers, have had the tax system on their side. @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

Billionaires shouldn't be allowed to vote. Trillionaires shouldn't be allowed to speak.

Good. Was searching for historical data on a matter yesterday and the Ai overview was quite wrong and misleading -,knew because I had actually been involved in the particular matter in mid Sixties

Looking up a recipe for dinner that I mostly know off by heart, as I felt like I was missing an ingredient (I am, the mushrooms) and thought I'd read the comments on said recipe. One person changed just about every ingredient in this dish, the declared it the most delicious dish they've cooked. Yay?

This has been a week where more than half the staff have been off sick, staff like myself have been filling in gaps wherever we could. I had pre-booked a half day today. Did I give it up? Absolutely not. Instead I left exactly on time so I would be able to have lunch before going to the hairdresser.

Things I will not eat by choice: 8 (asparagus, tofu, avocado, oysters, sardines, eggplant, cottage cheese, olives) Now with the things it depends on how they're prepared: 15 (+ liver, coconut, beets, lima beans, shrimp, crab, fish). Some of this is texture, some is flavour, only 3 are a hard no.

Do something. My @smh cartoon.

Sometimes you wonder how people ever manage to get a Leadership role when all they seem to do is half-ass jobs and hope someone else will pick up the slack. We have one of those at work, who has suddenly gone on sick leave, sending people scrambling to cover their role.

Husband: I'll cook pork ribs and beef ribs for dinner tonight. Me: Great! What side dishes are you making? H: Err, I hadn't thought about that. Me: (what a surprise 🙄) I'll give him credit, he does make amazingly tender beef and pork ribs in the smoker. However, he's lucky that I can cook the rest.

There is a Chinese Australian food we loving eat called dim sims. They're a type of dumpling which I love to eat, steamed over deep fried. Every local Chinese restaurant makes their own, so I'm used to variations (some have more prawn than pork, others are beef, the wrappers differ, etc.), and all

This morning I woke up to thick fog - my favourite winter weather (it’s not winter yet but I’ll take it). Walking to the bus stop for work was a delight 😄 My photos don’t do it justice- the camera doesn’t pick it up well.

I wonder if this would work with hot rooms or houses.
