Most Australians know that work colleagues and bosses can be held accountable for homophobia and sexual harassment in the workplace. Now, "a court case billed as a new frontier" confirms customers and other patrons may be held liable for such behaviour. #LGBTQIA #EmploymentRights #WorkplaceRights

Mixed feelings on Belvoir's "The Birds". Powerful sound design, a formidable Paula Arundell, but the one-actor conceit doesn't quite land. Three stars. Full @artshub.bsky.social review: #Theatre #SydneyTheatre #TheatreReview

Kylie has faced an astonishing amount of abuse across her storied career. I’m glad the new Netflix docuseries highlights that she’s triumphed *despite* all this crap bit.ly/43ipQVU

saw Fran Lebowitz at the Sydney Opera House last night with @peterhackney.bsky.social she was great ofc but the weird crowd - walkouts, flash photos, & a guy in the front row resting his beer on the stage in front of her - was a kinda interesting adjunct to Fran's wryly misanthropic takes on society

The bombshell in #KylieMinogue's new @netflix.com doco: a second cancer, kept private at the time because she was, in her own words, "just a shell of a person". What strikes me about Kylie is the quiet steel behind the pop. Four decades, two cancers and she's still working, still here. Good for her!

Opening night of Steel Magnolias at the Theatre Royal. Fabulous cast, impossible to pick a standout. Packed house, big laughs, bigger tears and the Governor-General quietly in the audience, sensibly declining the red carpet. #theatre #Sydneytheatre #Australiantheatre #artsau

The new Rainbow Map is out. The UK used to be a beacon for LGBTQ+ rights in Europe, topping the list in 2015, but over the last decade we have dropped year on year. We are now barely scraping a score above the continent’s average.

Absolute cracker of an interview with Jane Hume tonight by @fergusonnews.bsky.social. Ferguson didn't let Hume get away with a single obfuscation. Too often, journalists let politicians sidestep questions and hide behind their talking points. Excellent television! #ABC730 #auspol

The overstating around One Nation's win in Farrer is ludicrous. Anyone would think there's been a revolution. All that's happened is this: across ten federal elections and 150 lower house electorates, ON has finally managed to win *one* seat. A strike rate of one-in-1,500. Pathetic, really. #auspol

A welcome surprise. Now, what are they planning to do about all the damage they've caused? #gay #catholic #conversiontherapy

richard dawkins: i refuse to use tranny 'pronouns'. 😠 richard dawkins: i have been using claude, whom i call claudia, she and i have been having a wonderful time. 😍

Excited to be staying in the legendary Carrington Hotel in #Katoomba this weekend. I lived in Katoomba for eleven years and will always love its offbeat, old world vibe. Sydney’s hill station. #BlueMountains #Australia #travel

'She was not a politician, a figurehead or a high-profile activist. But the community felt so strongly about her that she was honoured with the utmost respect and love.' Great op-ed from @dnamagazine.com editor Andrew Creagh on the legacy of #MaxiShield. #drag #gay #LGBTQI #Sydney #community

Check out the new “Since 1984” merchandise items which have just been added to the official PSB store, including T-shirts, a hoodie and a cap. All available now at the link below. wmg.lnk.to/psb-since1984

@albomp.bsky.social and @australianlabor.bsky.social need to accept that AUKUS isn’t going to happen, that we’re investing in already out of date technology and committing to unreliable allies who don’t give a crap about us. It’s time to “renegotiate” AUKUS. #AusPol

A 45-minute #FranLebowitz interview! What a treat! Pumped for her appearance at the @sydneyoperahouse.bsky.social on 19 May. #interview #humour #Trump #politics #Sydney

The #manosphere is fuelling a frightening new wave of violence against #gay men. But what exactly is the manosphere and why does it hate the gays? My feature exploring the topic is out now DNA #316. #men #queer #masculinity

Happy World Art Deco Day! The 28th of April commemorates the opening of the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris. Sydney was late to the trend but ended up with some real gems, including the Sydney Harbour Bridge. #ArtDeco #Sydney #architecture

Oh wow, turns out ITV Retro has put all 34 episodes of late '70s/early '80s sci-fi-fantasy series 'Sapphire & Steel' on YouTube! Episode two (the 'railway station episode') is still one of the most haunting, atmospheric things I've seen on TV. #JoannaLumley #DavidMcCallum #television

Just discovered this fascinating interview with Dr. Diana Walsh Pasulka, prof. of religious studies at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Ignore the clickbaity title, it's actually a nuanced discussion about the intersection of technology, #religion and #UFO #UAP phenomena.

'Seven years after his explosive HBO doc, Dan Reed watches Hollywood cash in on a man he calls "worse than Jeffrey Epstein" with the biopic "Michael" — and explains why nobody seems to mind.' #MichaelJackson #HBO #DanReed #LeavingNeverland

There's a tradition of film directors and studios congratulating each other for beating their box office records. In 1977, when STAR WARS beat Jaws to become the highest-grossing movie ever, Steven Spielberg took out the below ad for George Lucas in @Variety 1/11

Great list! Heidi II, Naala Badu and the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre are perfect for the Australian climate and sensibility. The Punchbowl Mosque has an austere beauty. Love the breezy Brisbane aesthetic of James St and the Translational Research Institute. #architecture #art #Australia

Madonna included safer sex information with every copy of the (patchouli-scented) Like A Prayer album. There’s a reason why gays of a certain age (my age) will always love her, she had our backs when few did.

#MyraDuBois was fabulous in #Sydney last night! We sat in the front row and even got her attention. Luckily, we weren't roasted too much - unlike the guys a few seats away, who must be in the burns unit today. Pic: @myradubois/Facebook. @myradubois.bsky.social #SydneyComedyFestival #theatre #drag

The Big Durian has 42 million people, 14 million more than the entire population of #Australia. All human life is here, yet most Aussies have no interest in #Jakarta - or #Indonesia beyond Bali. When will white Australians stop acting like Europeans marooned at the bottom of the world?

Judy Davis, IMO, should be household name & biggest star in movies! Always incredible. Happy Birthday to my Australian acting idol, 4/23/1955. Worked with Lean, Coens, Allen, Cronenberg, Coppola. Oscar nods: A Passage to India (1984) Husbands & Wives (1992) 📺: 12 Emmy nods, 2 wins #filmsky 📽

Apropos of nothing, this was just fascinating

Sydney is full of interesting tales. One of which is that #DavidBowie owned an apartment here in the '80s and '90s, where he lived on and off for years. This is it: 51/93 Elizabeth Bay Rd. It reflects the more mainstream bearing he adopted after his darker Berlin era. #Bowie #music #Sydney

I'm not Irish but my husband is. I have a complicated relationship with Ireland. I see its magic. After several visits, I also see it can be a very dark place. It's saddled with, as Conor Creighton calls it, 'ancestral junk'. Looking forward to diving into this podcast. #ireland #irish #psychology

vale James. For me he'll always be the host of ABC's Afternoon Show: giving me and other millennials a crucial intro to the Goodies, #DoctorWho et al. 40 years later, I still vividly recall him pretending to be attacked by the studio lights after an ep of the Tom Baker classic "Seeds of Doom". #RIP

Cool story about street art and ephemerality. Megan Hicks tells the little-known tale of Banksy's 2003 'Diver' stencil on Alfalfa House in Newtown, Sydney. Sadly covered over now. I wonder if there were/are any other #Banksy works in Sydney? @bbbanksy.bsky.social #art #streetart #graffiti

Pleased to see Australian director and producer Sunny Grace has a Substack. I enjoyed her piece on the #PamelaAnderson 'in conversation' event in Sydney. Interesting observation about Pamela presenting as apolitical like #DollyParton - although Pamela sounds pretty authentic overall.
