I made this charred cabbage with miso butter, chilli oil and yoghurt and it was very good

one of the reasons I cherish having the occasional dream about friends and relatives who have died is that it is *my* memory, my connection. I don’t need or want anyone else in that space

it’s important to go get your coffee from a cafe that has different staff working saturday and sunday so you can wear the same clothes all weekend

Greg Davies: Great task, well done. Didn‘t eat a thing. Persephone: Thank you. Alex Horne: Ah. Well. Let’s take another look at that pomegranate.

'Can I turn round to make sure she's still following me?' 'All the information is on the task'

I got the kid a bracelet from Swarovski because she had her best ever semester at school. Missed an opportunity to get her Swarovski Shrek, but as @harrysaddler.bsky.social noted, ‘Swarovski Shrek is more a “getting into university” gift’

Event Horizon does not muck about

This morning I learned that eighties soul crooner Terence Trent D'Arby hasn't been known by that name for years; in October 2001 he announced 'Terence Trent D'Arby has died a noble death' and changed his name to one he'd dreamed six years earlier. It was a lot to take in, if I'm honest.

bemused to go wake my kid up this morning and find her already awake and angrily dragging her backup Spain jersey out of the wardrobe while swearing about FIFA corruption

look I know this is basically a Finn-posting account but never a bad time to remind people that this song, The Climber, is about Rob Hall, and it is beautiful and sad youtu.be/g1fjnwZRqOI

Two Minnesota solar farms seeded native wildflowers under their panels, and 5 years of counting revealed native bees had multiplied twentyfold, then crossed the fence to pollinate the neighbour's soybeans

we watched Death In Brunswick (1990) last night and seeing that place and time, as well as those actors, at that age, will never not be comforting to me

Sub Pop is sending our love to L7's bassist, Jennifer Finch, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. If you are financially able, please consider donating to her GoFundMe to help cover urgent medical and rehabilitation costs, and in-home care expenses.

furious about semiotics and semantics in a way which I hope would make my first year journalism professor proud

let this be your reminder that generations of kids didn't grow up wanting to be the guy who funded the park, they grew up wanting to be the knowledgeable, awe-struck scientist

When I was a teenager one of our family friends had a three year old who used to dress up as “Alan Gwant” right down the kerchief and it was the sweetest thing ever

calling out of work because I lost someone very important to me (prolific actor Sam Neill)

one of my best ideas on the Bad Site

For niche Sam Neill content, there are few things better than him narrating the Split Enz documentary, Spellbound. youtu.be/8SUvV0pqwVQ?...

Sam Neill’s instagram feed of his farm animals got me through some very dark times in my life. It is the mark of a person to be beloved not only by their friends and peers but also by the animal world. Vale Sam Neill 💔

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

I would be so impressed that some one sufficiently old enough to appreciate and have taught themselves Baker Street on the sax can emerge from under my bed *while playing it* that I would prioritise finding out where they do pilates over how they got under there in the first place

Fox has reporting saying the buffalo was ”looking for trouble” which is also fucking stupid. It’s a buffalo, it is not a person. It’s neither satan nor a saint it’s an animal and it doesn’t think like you do and that’s part of why sharing space with animals is so great.

my kid and her best friend (15 and 16 respectively) just did an interpretative dance in public to convince me and her friend‘s parents that they should be allowed to stay out later and honestly SOLD that was great work, kids

beautiful alpaca yarn for my next projects

I saw a Ronnie Chieng interviewing Aaron Chen on the Daily Show this morning and I was like “omg remember when Australia was only allowed one famous person at a time? And that was also always a white guy?”

Two year anniversary of when I first posted this comic

spent just a little time in the kitchen and transformed a beautiful piece of brisket into a Vietnamese lemon grass beef and a chilli con carne. So good to just grab the spices from the new rack and throw together greens and herbs from the garden

Devastating news. Bonnie Tyler has passed away at 75. That powerhouse voice gave us some of the most iconic, timeless anthems of all time like "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "Holding Out for a Hero." Rest in peace to a true music legend. 💔🕊️ www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/cul...

I like scrolling my bluesky feed because it’s the worst news imaginable and then occasionally a quote from moby dick

If you live in any of these places, or know anyone who does, we'd love to say gidday...

we all just got hustled off the train because it had some kind of fault. When it took off again (sans passengers) the electrical connection was sparking against the wires like the time travelling phone booth in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

The amount of airtime given to the woke-has-gone-too-far schtick in leftist circles has been deeply, deeply embarassing. Just because some people in your immediate circle have been annoying does not, in fact, mean we should retreat from feminism and racial justice and back abusers in primaries.

my gran used to volunteer @ NIBS… do support them!

can we have a conversation about the increasing visual similarity between Chris Parnell and and Ben Mendelsohn

I HAND FED A LADY KING PARROT IN OUR BACKYARD TODAY, SHE LITERALLY FLEW DOWN TO EAT FROM A TRAY I WAS HOLDING OUT TO HER I AM OFFICIALLY AT ONE WITH NATURE

as some one who has never really wanted to keep a lid on the things they love (not just people but also: music, books, nature) I am glad to see the world catching up with this approach to life www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Being a woman rocks because if you use AI you’re stupid and if you don’t use AI you’re dumb

to be fair, ‘it’s a long way to the top’ can suit a variety of events

this is my third basket. I think I’ve nailed this pattern now

massive panic this morning because my work bag had gone missing. Turns out in my efficiency™️ yesterday I left it in our regular coffee shop. They just returned it to Harry

400,000 Australians should have read Grimmish by @micwink.bsky.social or @patricklenton.bsky.social 's queer romcom, or @omarsakr.bsky.social 's poetry ... or just about anything else

yeah okay

this was a very, very nice place to stay. WHALES OUT TO SEA! WALLABIES UP CLOSE!

🚨 Local NSW writer friends, have we all seen this? 10 x $50k fellowships just launched, for emerging, mid-career and established creatives writingnsw.org.au/fellowships/

one advantage of living in a part of Victoria where there was a serious attempt to mine gold is that when you lose your wedding ring in a pile of pea straw in the chicken run, you can put a message on the local community FB page and some one will bring a gold detector round and find it for you

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.
