With my bloke for a very fucking long time, celebrating with some bevvies listening to some blues 🎶 at the OCI #CBR #AusMusic #Spring

Out and about on this glorious Spring day 🙂🦜🦋 #TulipTops #LakeGeorge #HungryBirdCafe #CBR #Ngunnawal

‘Never odd or even" spelled backwards is still "Never odd or even".

Eight decades after Hollywood legends like Henry Fonda, Lucille Ball, Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland launched the Committee for the First Amendment to stand up to McCarthyism, Jane Fonda is bringing back the organization. https://cnn.it/3KsdDYR

It's a quarter to 2 in the morning and I'm hungry 😫 #foodnoise #insomnia #fuck #cbr Shall I get up and eat?

@2fbs.bsky.social it must be almost a year since your TKR Mr Cupcake, how are you faring? I hope it's helped your leg overall, you've had a tough journey 🙏🦋

🧵A few notes for all the haters bitching about Violet Affleck’s speech to the U.N.: She’s not a kid. She’s a 19-year old woman. She’s not unqualified. She’s currently a student at Yale University, which has a 4.5% acceptance rate, and is pursuing a public health degree. (1/4)

For the first time in his life, Donald Trump tells the truth during his Tylenol press conference: "We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things."

"Tolerating the intolerable makes us all crueller, and validates those who have no compassion for anyone they don’t understand."

This is so cool, what a phenomenal brain young Matteo has❣️ Eat your heart out Sheldon 😁 #bigbang

The Death of Meanjin. a couple of thoughts. open.substack.com/pub/greenwor...

Oh do jog on Newscorp. These are the faces of Aussie cowards.

A man that split a woman's head open yesterday, for asking them to just please leave, walked up to a Woman Premier and threatened them and he is still walking around. A 11 year old Aboriginal girl has been in an adult jail for 4 months for shoplifting.

Anti-immigration rallies across Australia are the culmination of years of political scaremongering. But better immigration messaging could change the trajectory.

I am gutted, a longtime dear friend has posted on fb attending the march, not the affirmative one, the other one .... faaaaaaark

Unless you're First Nations, you're a descendant of immigrants. No gatekeeping on stolen land 🖤💛❤️

If you are a new Australian, and today's racist march is making you feel unsafe, please know that these people are not representative of Australia. A few fascists are dog whistling to uneducated aussies claiming this is about patriotism. Our media have dumbed them down. Sending you love! #Auspol

White Australia Rally bingo card. #auspol

New collective noun phrase: A Dysentery of Influencers.

Stay safe out there, people. Do not attend the ‘March for Australia’ tomorrow. Even if it isn’t being organised by neo-not-zees, the fact that more than one of those groups are claiming they did, means that you’ll be marching with neo-not-zees. #AusPol youtu.be/nsj1P_0r6BA

Ok, so let's see who ultimately wears the greatest reputational harm from this mudslinging... power and wealth trump the original betrayal www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

“Now is not the moment to give up or to lose hope. Now is the moment to be active in our hope and to start planting seeds for a new world—because that new world is surely coming”. Mary Freer #compassionrevolution

My sister rang me. After a Led Zepplin song washed through my brain: “Ramble on...” not maliciously but cause her head is full of things which are impossibly knotty. She’s painting bedroom walls this afternoon. I hope stillness and rhythm allow the words tumbling around her head to settle 💜 #sisters

ok crying, These Days is one I play for my girl, miss you my darling 💔 #Hottest100 #KizzasWings

Love loving the banter And that's the awesome power of music, it pulls us all in different directions. Aus Music fills my soul #Hottest100 💜🎶🦋

I think the way to survive this countdown is the same way I finally hit submit on my votes: noone's gunna hold me to this and there are too many good songs and there are no right answers and art cannot be ranked but is just wonderful on its own merit... but also so help me if Big Jet Plane is top 10

LOL I just commented to Rick there's been no Aus Crawl yet... neck minute 😊 I voted for 'Things don't seem', a family fave 🎶😛🦋 #Hottest100 #AussieCrawl

Fuck I love Australian music❣️ #Hottest100 None of my top 10 made it yet, but so many banging tunes so far 🎶😊🦋

Just another fat fuck Friday. Sooooo freaking tired, gotta do-list a mile long, but CTFBB. #wanttobreakfree Flipside, it's the #hottest100 Aussie song reveal tomorrow- who will it be now? #AusMusic

So very true.

Read this 👇 poignant expression of our fragmented chaos. And the irony of reading the original article and drafting this post from my phone is not lost on me!

Do yourself a favour and read Gunnawah, @ronnisalt.bsky.social first novel. I finally got to squeeze a novel into my shitty schedue. It's a rollicking Riverina tale - and i do hope we get to know what happens next for Adds, Valdene, Wayne and town folk 🤞

Often my mind connects what I am reading to a song. When I read @julesbaird.bsky.social article, my brain immediately went to "Feelin' Groovy" by S&G, reminding us to take things slow and appreciate the little things in life. My days evaporate at a dizzying pace – it’s time to ‘look at my fish’.

Summer storm in mid-Winter... 🙅‍♀️ #climatechange

How to shortlist #hottest100 hardest one EVER!! Ok, yes this is pretty lame, I am trying to categorise... but it's not working (and not full list). Are you selecting based on banger beat or that tug of a memory or person? Please help 🎶🦋🙃

Today I am thankful for - being dear Jules' date last night, feeling sunshine on my back after a crispy morning, 2 library books to read, poignant posts from @electrarhodes.bsky.social and a phone call from Rosie 🦋 But I am achingly sad for my parents and I can't fix it 😢

Ending I’m feeling really sad it has been a big 6 months my cup of spoons is depleted. I am a super resilient person, but I am struggling to see through the fog. It’s hard to shake feelings of abandonment especially family, especially you. The hurt is heavy inside me. I wish I knew why. Bye.

#Mother'sDay emotional mashup - gratitude for my dear Mum, gratitude for my 3 children, 2 who are thriving in their 30s, but deepest sorrow for my granddaughter who lost her Mummy at such a tender age, and her new way of being which no longer acknowledges her birth Mum or her birth family 💔🦋

Go Jessie, go Jessie, go Jessie Go!!!! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05... #auspol

Canada walked so Australia could Nutbush

Go Jessie Go Jessie Go Jessie Go! #BinNight #Auspol

As always @julesbaird.bsky.social nails the uncomfortable truth of tone deaf privilege (anti-humble). Read poignant Carl Sagan quote 👇

Ineluctable logic from Nigella though I am buying my pre-industrial-revolution-style Hot-X buns from a local bakery. I know my limitations, & if anyone wants to swap baking skills for confidently claiming they know what to do with a semi-colon, I stand ready.

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia? Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

8 years since our girl became an angel, 8 long years 😥 This is Kiara with her daughter 💜 Her despair in her last week of life was not dear of dying, it was leaving her daughter. #KizzasWings #grief #broken #fuckcancer

I have lived experience of this, and it is a corrosive ever present pain. We had a 12 year relationship with our granddaughter abruptly stopped for no known reason. What We Know About the Experiences of Alienated Grandparents | Psychology Today www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/life...
