Eleanore Morley - RED FLAG Why the establishment hates the Greens: The entire political establishment has united in a smug, self-serving tirade against the Greens following the federal election. The indirect target is anyone who wants a more egalitarian country redflag.org.au/article/why-...

So that's the little bastard who is responsible for my current predicament! Except it left its bow & arrow at home that day, so walked up, belted me on the back of the head, and said "See that dude over there? You're now in love with him" 1/2

Uncommon courtesy. My @smh @theage.

Hi Bluesky Would someone let my X followers know that I have been suspended by twitter.I will be more active on this site. I will explain the suspension at a later date as it is an intriguing story that’s not devoid of politics. Many thanks.

On 28 Feb 2026, the American military bombed an elementary school in Iran, killing 156 civilians, most of them children. It was not a "stray missile." It was a targeted attack involving multiple strikes. It was not a "secret military base." It had been a school for 10 years. It was a war crime.

Apparently having a ballroom is the best defence against being assassinated. Who knew?

I haven't done a "Song of the Day" in a while as I've kept forgetting. Here is Change in Mood (1983) by Kids in the Kitchen www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cim...

I feel like buying a sequined cocktail dress and stilettos for the occasion 👗👠👛👑💄

It looks like I might have a place to move in to next month, which will be fantastic. It's a sharehouse, rather than a rooming house, which means more rights (rooming houses, & I don't even think where I am 'qualifies' as it has only 4 bedrooms, aren't afforded many rights under the RTA 1995 SA) 1/2

Termite inspection in the rooming house. Idiots moved stuff but didn't put anything back. They put a bucket on top of the guinea pigs' enclosure. About as much respect as my incompetent, self-serving landlords. Fuck, I wish I had my own house 😢

In Australia in 2026, the effective political opposition to the sitting government is a single independent Senator … and he’s genuinely hurting them on issue after issue

💖 Hope this smile makes you smile 🍦🧡🩷💚❤️💛💙💜🍉

When I went to find my glasses last night the case was empty, so I assumed that I'd left them in the pouch and in my knitting bag at uni. However, they're not there either so I am looking forward to a day of squinting at things. (Can't go back to the rental as it's 25 km from uni; car is 2 km away)

I've deleted my LinkedIn account

Retweet this is you think @timheidecker.bsky.social should hire me as a staff writer for The Onion

A reminder during #NationalLibraryWeek, libraries are our best and last defense against the fascist monopoly on knowledge and information

Recently I've been thinking about the fairy tale, The Little Mermaid, something brought about by my torn tendon. In the story, once TLM had legs, every step she took was like stepping on daggers. I started thinking about the statue, about how visitors feel underwhelmed by it 1/4

eeeehhhh nooooo, Larson was aware of how often America insisted on getting it's dick slammed in the door when it came to foreign relations

Dave Matthews Band: “Stop the Genocide. Stop Killing Children”

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Here in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants. “And I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.”

#science #earthquakes #geology #OTD Trailblazing botanist, Alice Eastwood ran into this building at the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park after the April 18, 1906 earthquake & saved nearly 1500 key specimens before the fires came. Another unsung heroine of science. Bio in comments

The markets rise and fall on the word of a self serving pathological liar. That alone should have you questioning the validity of a capitalist focused societal structure.

Does anybody else remember this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUdE...

I used AI to ask about the wording of an email asking somebody to return items that I lent them earlier this year. My opening line was "Could you please return...", which AI told me to change to "Please return..." so that it doesn't sound like I'm asking for a favour 1/3

I am fairly certain we have never made an episode of If You’re Listening that has made more people more angry than this one youtu.be/lxwXKkHcgwM?...

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion. I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

I didn't know that people were still using flamingos and hedgehogs for croquet. Honestly, that's so 1865! And I would have thought the RSPCA would have something to say, yet their website is strangely silent on the matter 🤔

Is this how things are going to be for the rest of my life? By which I mean having to constantly fend for myself in a world that will neither accommodate my needs nor provide me with the resources to do it myself I've had as much (if not more) than I can take

Happy birthday, Liz Phair! Song of the Day: Polyester Bride 👰 www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgfZ...

We're defending the person who happens to hold the position of Pope; hard right Christians might despise those who don't follow their particular brand of religion, but atheists don't hate (other) people for not being atheists 1/2

Song of the Day: Nobody by Toni Basil www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9hR... Toni Basil had an illustrious career in acting (she was in Easy Rider) & music - singing & choreography (she choreographed the video for Talking Heads' Once in a Lifetime), and she's still going strong 🩰💖

Song of the Day: Living Doll by Cliff Richard & The Young Ones www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGOU... Nostalgia isn't what it used to be

Song of the Day: Avril 14th by Aphex Twin www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxTd... I'm going to have to explore his oeuvre because the only other two compositions I know (by him) are "Come to Daddy" and "Windowlicker" (hopefully, like Avril 14th, the videos are less scary)

Fingers crossed that a certain red-headed politician decides to invite JD to Australia to bolster her party's cause 🤞(I really don't want him anywhere near the place but, if it were to cast ON into political oblivion, I'm here for it)

Thankyou Hungary. You didn't listen to Vance, Trump, Putin or Netanyahu, which is the first step on the road to decency and sanity. This is an important win for Europe as well.

Today's pearl of wisdom: If swimming doesn't get you wet, you're doing it all wrong 🏊‍♀️

Thinking about deleting my LinkedIn account; the only problem is that I'm expected to have an account due to my research - but, as far as I can see, it has degenerated into a ex-Twitter/FB clone

#BidenFundedNASA In 2025 Chump tried to defund NASA but he failed. He is trying again this year.

So, Adam Liaw’s red curry barramundi recipe. It’s solid stuff. My notes: 1. I added more fish, 500g rather than 300g. Worked. 2. It’s very mild. Add 2x red curry paste. Or maybe even 3x for #verythai. 3. Believe the short cooking times. Even a minute longer can mush things up.

I bought a bale of meadow hay today for the Sweet P's, and have broken it up to put into containers. Unfortunately the dust keeps getting into, and setting off, the smoke detector in my room (nowhere outside to perform this task, unfortunately)

I don't understand. I went to pay my rent for this week only to discover that, apparently, I hadn't paid the rent for last week? I have a memory of doing so, but it didn't appear in my list of transactions - despite my memory of having received an email confirmation, I have none 1/2

I suppose I would be a catch if I wasn't homeless, financially insecure and autistically burnt out 😢 I'm fucking furious, but am constantly being shut down www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
