What a clusterfuck of a day yesterday. Got caught up in a bomb scare at work so stood in the rain for 2 hours waiting for that to resolve. And when I finally got back to my car at 10pm, the battery had died (nothing left on, so weird!). Cut to me driving an additional hour home to charge it up…

#Melbourne folks, best to avoid #NGV and Arts Centre, as police have shut down the area. Time to reopen as yet unknown.

When I arrived at work my colleague said “I didn’t recognise you, you look ethereal” Is that just code for “you look dead”?

Tim Minchin at the Palais was everything my soul needed. Particularly special to share the night with an ex Butterfly Club colleague given Tim’s opening video. What an incredible artist.

Mind the gap

Back back back again helping to run Darkfield immersive experiences, FLIGHT and INVISIBLE in front of the Melbourne Arts Centre. Rain, hail or shine, we here. And we’ve had 2/3 so far today.

I know I would be a much more creative, and prolific, artist if I wasn’t EXHAUSTED from doing all the other “rent jobs”.

Friends don’t let friends ‘Fox And Friends’

@justaan.bsky.social my god. Is it yourself? Hey stranger

Work trip to Sydney (and Noosa and Brisbane and….). I might be a melbournite but this sign got me nostalgic for my regional nsw uni days Tooheys old was my go to drink in uni days. #Tooooohheeeyyysss

Every now and then the algorithm leads you to something incredible, 5 yrs later than it should have. I implore you to take 20 mins to watch this beautiful short film. I miss being involved in projects like this, that to me are way more successful than a blockbuster movie. youtu.be/k1vCrsZ80M4?...

Perhaps Wesfarmers should be using some of that profit to buy back the recycled soft plastics it uses for its products that cause the waste in the first place. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

Top phrases I’ve learned today, that I love: “Theftosterone” “When we break, we wake”. And “anger is the new femininity”.

Cocktails and live music. Happy place.

Returned to a bar I used to LOVE but left after an awful encounter with a patron (pissing with the door open, entitled twat). Thought I’d try them again, but they’ve moved from being really supportive of Indy wine & beer, to having bog standard buttery chardy/ savvy on the menu. No beuno. I’m out.

The movie they make someday about Big Balls will start with a SWAT team busting into DOGE headquarters and as they kick Big Balls down onto the carpet the image will freeze on his face and we'll hear his voiceover say "Yeah, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation."

Straight facts

I am CACKLING

I have a sudden inkling to try chicken salted popcorn. Am I deluded?

TW: men’s violence against women An excellent read: “… frontline advocates have outlined what works: shared data, trauma-informed systems, coordinated legal and therapeutic pathways. We don’t need more reports. We need investment and implementation.”

It’s just not fair when this is readily available in my workplace

…. And some of us live blog it as it happens. 😏

The crossover I’ve been craving.

If you think about it Remember Monday are the real winners of Eurovision. They got 12 points from a mouse. Can anyone else say they’ve done that? I don’t think so.

I’ve made pumpkin gnocchi from scratch, with a chicken cream sage sauce, I’ve got a nice Chablis and I’m ready for the Eurovision heats - how good is (delayed telecast in) straaayyyyaaaa #Foodporn #Eurovision

We dressed like the thing. I didn’t mean to. He absolutely did. #JeSuisPersephone #HadesTown #Melbourne #MusicalTheatre #Theatre

You mean this old chestnut? youtu.be/jzJkNjwoZXY?...

Honestly, Carrot Weather app? Same. Total mood.

Making the most of climate change. Wines and board games in the park with good crew.

I never realised the extent of this story, of the woman in our $50 note. A great read, if you have 5 mins TW: Domestic violence, violence against women, murder of women. Also a TW for the men who fear women who fight hard for better rights www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Tonight I made my little coconut ball snacks that look like mini potatoes that I call “spuds”. No reason.

Onya Anthony Green. Treat yourself to a vase. You deserve all the flowers being thrown your way. #Auspol #AusElection

Finally catching up on #Eurovision 2025 entries. I’m halfway through the compilation and all I can say is much EDM. Very doof. I just can’t see myself getting up at 5am to watch this year. #ESC2025 #ESC25

Not me logging in to do online training for a job and the guy doing the welcome video is an ex-boss. Hilarious. Sometimes the ‘verse just guides you to the places you need to be.

To anyone who doesn’t believe climate change is real, I offer this: I just dried a pillow top mattress cover in 5 hours (5:30pm-10:30pm) using nothing more than 2 clothes horses and a little fan. No heat, no sunshine, nothing. In Melbourne. In April. I might start using more coal powered energy.

This article penned by a woman who early in our friendship called me “one talented lass”, but honesty, it’s absolutely the other way around. She impresses me on the daily. It’s an important read, ahead of the election. TW : gendered violence; DV womensagenda.com.au/latest/dange...

Excellence.

This is what I feared, and why I never did one of the tests, despite REAALLLYYY wanting to know the half of my family I have no idea about. Apart from being Irish. That’s it, that’s all I know.

Tonight I bought a denim vagina art piece and I have no regrets. (There’s something quite thrilling about putting the red dot next to your piece of purchased art).

What a shame I just cancelled my Apple TV. Still, very glad a 4th season focusing on the women’s team will exist. (As long as it’s not like S rubs season 9)

Ooof there’s some full moon juju in my neighbourhood tonight.

Hey Aussies, something to keep in mind as we head into our own election season. Read (or listen to) the fine print, not just the headline.

I really like the design of some of these, but sadly, not a Star Wars fan and most of the oeuvre is in this realm. The Disco Star is pretty cool, and mouldy fridge and retro game square I liked too. Good designs, check em out.

On my 30 min meal break but it’s been raining, so there’s nowhere dry to sit as all benches are out in the open, particular around central CBD. Pretty sure that’s by design, to deter homeless people from having a dignified place to sit and shelter. Any comment, @cityofmelbourne.bsky.social?

Today I cancelled my Amazon Prime, Apple TV and music. (Netflix axed in November). Coz fuck your tariffs, America. Any future purchases will be carefully considered, I’m in the process of changing internet, power & insurance, and you better believe I’m double checking who owns these companies.

So God created the world in 7 days, showed it to the other Gods, and after a few moments of uncomfortable silence, one of them said: “The important thing is that you like it.”

This is actually pure genius. I found myself feeling such joy at the clever word play in the song, then really glum as i remembered the reality of it all really is quite fucked. This is the true talent of one Randy Rainbow. Do not sleep on Randy. Their work really got me through the first term.

Spending my international women’s day supporting an all female line up Women of Soul. Led by the unstoppable Chelsea Wilson. Thanks to Kingston Arts for supporting Australian music. Well worth checking out on your streaming, or heck, just buy the album(s)! womenofsoul.bandcamp.com/album/feel-g...
