Here is your reminder that you can grow potatoes by putting a supermarket potato in dirt with the eye facing up. You're welcome. (Also maybe water it)

All that research millennials dedicated to surviving a zombie apocalypse when we should've been researching recessions.

I know everyone is excited about the swing away from the Liberals, but One Nation bought these votes with the dirtiest of money and it frightens me the impact such a massive swing to them is going to have, especially now they know it's working.

One Nation is simultaneously working to clean their image to sucker in old Libs, propagandise the volatile state of the world to sucker in young idiots, and shift even further right to satisfy their increasingly deranged base. All bankrolled by fossil fuel billionaires. It's a nightmare come true.

I will never forgive AI for ruining cute animal videos. Even if it's a real video of a baby cow, I find myself cautiously scrutinising its round shiny eyes to make sure, rendering my experience completely devoid of the joy of seeing a baby cow.

It's nice that my phone has learned that when I type Melanie Lynskey it should be autocorrected to MELANIE LYNSKEY

You'll often hear how the gas industry is vital for Australia because it's so big. But really the only thing big about it is its profits.

The very specific curse of heading into a recession with a toddler who hates potatoes.

this morning anya taylor-joy was hit with a question that has never been asked before in the history of the universe

Upset because I can't find a way to listen to Lindy West's Adult Braces audiobook in Australia. Any tips? Advice? Empathetic remarks??

Any article about Lindy West that doesn’t talk about her being a fat woman in a world that teaches you every single moment that you are disgusting and unworthy of love and what this means for your relationships is incomplete

I've started using the word "based" casually, but only in my head. I live in fear of the day I, a deeply awkward woman in her late 30s, say it out loud.

Ugh what a great book. So unbelievably frustrating, which is exactly what I expect from anyone taking on Austen. 10/10 recommend as a fun and distracting escape.

Decided to read "The Other Bennet Sister" on my day off, thinking it would be soothing to my current anxiety. Instead I now understand why the word "vexed" was used so often in Georgian England. I've been screaming "omg MARY YOU IDIOT" to absolutely nobody all day.

‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

Oh ok, now I'm really effing mad

"If the NDIS is ‘runaway spending’, what do we call $16 billion in fossil fuel subsidies?" @rodcampbell.bsky.social for @thepointau.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

There are good things in your future you can’t even conceive of. Before my 30s I had no idea how much pleasure I would soon get from walking around with my hands clasped behind my back

Finally watching "All Her Fault", thought it would be too agonising bc I have a kid, but it turns out it's agonising bc of these fucking husbands. Holy shit. Praying this ends with them comically falling off a cliff, hitting every rock and branch on the way down.

I'm not big on reboots or revivals but I was desperate to see what a Chloé Zhao/SMG Buffy would become. I hope they take that energy and pour it into something entirely new.

Heard that Gen Z are super into the "rocking chair" litmus test for figuring out if you should have kids (picture yourself in a rocking chair at 75, do you have grandkids at your feet?) but I have a much better one - do you love doing laundry? Because 90% of parenting is laundry.

An excellent and very clear piece. Bravo overland.org.au/2026/03/safe...

I can not believe how generous you have all been about Where it all went wrong - the response has blown me away. Truly. I have a couple of copies I can send to people who might be waiting a long time at their library or can't afford a book right now - please pop into my DMs and I'll do my best x

I've had several puppies in my life and only one toddler. I'm finding the only difference in toilet training them is that toddlers are capable of malice.

TWO YEARS IN JAIL FOR WEARING A SHIRT THAT SAYS FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA

The world uniting to hate on Timothee Chalamet is the type of thing that deluded me into thinking we would never have another world war. I thought the things that unite us (hating Timothee Chalamet) would be stronger than the things that divide us.

My mother called me lazy but actually I'm breaking down gender barriers.

There's a guy online who does advice videos for men about undoing social conditioning that says they needn't participate in domestic work but actually it's really good advice for me, a woman with ADHD, and Idk how to feel about that.

Woke up to an ominous fog surrounding the house, like the earth is inviting me to stop reading the news and become a mysterious disappearance someone will make a true crime podcast about one day.

Had to fill up for the first time since the war began and oh shit oh no oh shit and oh no

I'm trying to buy a rug for the first time in ages, mostly looking second hand but decided to peruse the online stores... never have I seen more blatant evidence that the internet is one shop. Every store sells the same ugly rugs. The drop shipping is out of control.

A perfect book

Two kids with cancer died at Westmead Children’s Hospital due to mould in the wards. This is unacceptable and unbearable. Sorry is nowhere near enough

I'm sceptical of data that makes these broad generational assumptions but it's so funny to me that articles about millennials were like "these whiny bitches care too much about the environment and eat too many avocados" and now articles about Gen Z are like "they're aaaall Nazis".

To push myself back into writing, I'm practicing writing shit without thinking too hard, posting it and then not worrying. Two out of three ain't bad.

My job is watching ads, so I had to write about this monstrosity. I'm sorry. open.substack.com/pub/karaschl...

There's a pipeline no-one is talking about and it's high school jock to bitcoin bro to weird little freak who has an AI girlfriend and wants to tell you about it.

Lover by Taylor Swift is such a lovely little song, but I simply can't listen to it. "We can leave the Christmas lights up 'til January" takes me out every time. When else are we supposed to take the lights down if not January, you sociopath??? !!!

Been desperately searching for a podcast to listen to for days, craving something but not connecting with anything. Turns out the podcast was music. I wanted to listen to music.

When Smash Mouth said "the years start coming and they don't stop coming", I felt that.

It's like when your toddler throws your phone into the toilet and then after he gets into trouble he gives you a little cuddle and it's like, look, that doesn't fix the actual problem, but it's nice.

I can't explain it, but I think the universe is trying to right itself by taking Kyle Sandilands off air. It's trying to do a really really good thing to balance out all the bad. Might need something more substantial, but it's a welcome first step.

If I've learned anything these past few years, this means they struck a preschool, or a petting zoo or something

10/10 no notes

I ate the pickle at the top of the jar and it was mushy. Could 2026 get any worse?

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

I'm thrilled to be a part of this incredible lineup of speakers and artists later this month for Trans Day of Visiblity. Tickets are free but places are sure to fill up! www.eventbrite.com/e/speaker-se...

Truly Satrapi opened my mind to histories I'd never heard of, and gave me insight into Iran that I continue to be grateful for.

Remember, two things can be true at once. War can be bad, and also you can have bad takes. Hope this helps.
