Black Dog: The Dreams of Paul Nash - Dave McKean

The only thing keeping me awake on this train is the horrible idea of a video of me snoring in my @toughguybookclub.com shirt. #trains #transport #reading

Dear young punk band, ask a brass or wind musician from the school band to join today. Punk is always better when the instrumental lineup is not essentially the same as the Beatles (A band your granddad listened to) #punk #band #bass #woodwind

Putnam Ganz Roddenberry Henson Admiring kind people can get us to a better place. It will take longer but we all get to come.

Yes. I hate your lawn specifically. You live on the driest continent on earth. It's so weird that's what you use our small amount of water for.

Me having to work on a laptop in a hotel room over Samhain & Halloween is essentially a hate crime. So I will be doing it, listening to Bauhaus, wearing a sneer. #halloween #samhain #worklifebalance

The invisible lines of history. 1977: James Dyson creates a new style of vacuum cleaner so people can spend less time cleaning. 2025: People struggle to use the overly designed taps in every Australian airport so less people wash their hands. #inventions #dyson #Australian #airports

Do you have a job that you don't think should exist? Not like cancel it tomorrow but make it so it is not needed? #jobs #auspol #startrek

Liz McKenna laying out hard truths like usual. #communityorganizing #collective #power #politics

I traditionally hate journalists when they try to be cute instead of writing news. But this headline is a little fun. #news #auspol

Sometimes I wish I experienced less shame about my actions and words, I think it holds me back on occasion. But not no shame, I don't want to end up the young man sitting on this tram loudly saying some of the stupidest shit I've ever heard a human say. Just somewhere in between me and him. #trams

Sometimes you don't have the time for a crash out. Not even a little one as a treat.

Munya Chawawa launched a theatre club for young black men because he wants them to feel a part of theatre after never seeing anyone like him in the audience growing up. As a community organising lover, this is so simple and perfect, it's like a work of art to me. #communityorganizing #theatre

I like the gym I go to, but I wish it were open-air because then at least the rain would clean it. #gym #rain

I ran book clubs at some high schools this week, and what struck me was “When did we stop dreaming of a better future?” Most kids seemed to expect their future world would be the same as now, or worse. Not to be too Mark Fisher, but their thinking seems trapped by now. #school #youngmen #future

You will never read more balanced and rational comments as those under an article discussing the obvious findings that lowering car speeds increases safety in your neighbourhood. #Melbourne #news #urbanplanning

Are you building your unions members capacity to fight each day to prepare them for the day they need to fight or do you just send them content? They are different. #unions #organizing

Your enemies will tell you there is no point in fighting back. They tell you this to break your morale, but in so doing, they tell on themselves. They fear being stood up to, or else they would not work so hard to downplay it. If someone says fighting back doesn't matter, make it matter.

One of the most wild marketing moves of all time is somehow changing people's perception of the soft, friendly children's ice cream sandwich into the masculine, extreme af Maxibon. And it actually working. Absolut wizard shit #australia #marketing #icecream #vodka Brand slip intended

To the jacked guy at the gym casually swigging between sets from a 1.25 of Kirk's Pasito. You are wonderful, keep it up. #Australia #gym #kirks

Honestly I run on hope but it troubles me how easy it was to convince your uncle that sharing is tyranny. #drunkuncles #future #politics

Perhaps your not the cutting edge freedom fighting comedian you think you are if you have the same opinions as the person in charge of your country (and most rural grandfathers)

It's been 20 years since I first watched Battletruck. It's still wonderful. Army vs hippies movie about the Lone Ranger. m.imdb.com/title/tt0084...

I'm tired, and too busy, but overall I'm OK.

Yes, you grow an introduced water-hungry lawn on the driest continent on earth in front of your house that you never use. Well done. #auspol #australia #native

“It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realise just how much you love them. ” ― Agatha Christie

Your union needs to hire more educators and less marketers. #deathofunions #union

I'm still bad at dyeing my hair after 25 years, but now I'm getting worse at shaving. #dyeing #shaving

ya sex is nice but have you ever made a particularly pertinent comment during book club and everyone starts snapping in approval

Do the members of your organisation feel like a part of a community, or do they just feel like a customers of it? #community #Organizing

It's powerful how much the whole vibe of this reminds me of the 90's in QLD. #90s

You can tell a lot about a person by how they respond to the idea that everything should be closed on the same day once a week. #convenience #auspol #people

Just ran into this table. It's way more complex than just high cancer; It's got to do with healthcare, money, longevity, and lifestyle, but what it really shows is you need to slip slop slap folks, Aussie folks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... #cancer #australia #spf

I'm in a waiting room being smashed by mortgage ads on all screens imagining what people would be working on if they didn't have to spend their lives on somewhere to sleep. #mortgage #home #publichousing

One of the lessons i'm learning in 2025 is that folk like bullys way more than I though they did. #2025 #bullys

Dave McKean - Disincarnate: Dreams of the Carrion Kind

If American men liked guitars the way they like guns, their country would be much cooler. #usa #guns

Now that all the cool people in my neighborhood have all swapped to baggy jeans, can we bring back the baggy suit? I want everyone looking like they are a featured extra in The West Wing asap. #fashion

Is this the year I kick off Halloween Caroling? #Halloween #doortodoor

"Quite a big deal" #Mars #science

Time for everyone to reacquaint themselves with the Proportionality Bias. #bias vs #brains en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proport...

If I hear the word "Debate" one more time today, I will throw up my cornflakes. #debate

The person yelling that new Australians need to assimilate is always completely unlike everyone else in the community they live in. Complete outsiders demanding that people fit in. #auspol #immigration

A colleague on campus today asked me why I’d forgo office w/a window & I reminded her I get active & credible death threats. When I ended up on the Turning Point professor list I got them for a month. We have got to raise better humans & change our gun laws. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

The "cars create customers" model just doesn't hold up when researched. Put your parking on a back street and make your main street somewhere people want to spend time. #auspol #high-street #townplanning
