Thankyou to the folks that responded to my post about colour! Some great colours combos that take me out of my comfort zone! 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤🩶🤍🤎

Hello? Is this thing on? (see previous post.)

I'm working on a fun little project at the mo, but I've done that thing again where I over research/plan before starting and now I don't have a jumping off point. So I'd like the Bluesky fam to do me a favour. If you see this post, respond with 5 colours you'd like to see together. Most to least.

I am that person that will buy a unique piece of furniture from the Op-shop, even if I don't have space for it in my house. It might clutter up a room for a bit, but it will eventually find it's place. This amazing coffee table just fit in the back of my car, so it was obviously meant to be mine.

Richard Marles is the epitome of “The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.” We can only hope that he’ll have his day in court, along with the rest of the genocide sympathisers, Wong, Minns & Albo.

Can someone please remind me tomorrow, to do my calf stretches? I’m too tired to do it now and my ankle is tender. But I need to strengthen the muscles.😣

My youngest is struggling with some stuff atm and she said to me last night, "I just want to feel normal." My response was, "There's no such thing as normal. It's just a fantasy sold to us by films & tv." That realisation in my 20's changed my outlook on life for the better.

There's nothing better than choosing a movie without putting much thought into it and discovering that it was a really fun watch. Weirdness with a bit of musical theatre? You've got me hooked! So if that's your thing too, give "Your Monster" (2024) a go.

Every time my neighbour backs down her driveway in her electric car, I honestly think that we are about to be invaded by an alien race. The sound it makes is so otherwordly and I have to pause because I wonder each time, what the weird noise is.

It looks like there's a problem with the Optus email servers at the moment. Login failed. #Optus

You can always tell when a singer is having an off night. They get the audience to sing the high bits.

Ok..The band needs to get onstage soon because I'm worried that the couple in front of me are going to have sex on the floor any minute now!

An even taller man has joined the fray.😩 With his equally tall girlfriend. No fucking manners!

This guy on the level below us must be about 7 foot tall!

With all of the technology that's available now, there's no reason why school shoes couldn't be more like sneakers than business shoes.

I'd love to have one of those long, lazy lunches under a vine covered verandah, eating loads of pasta, bread and great wine. The closest I've come to this is the wedding of close friends we attended last year.

michaelwest.com.au/what-is-isra... This is a very good analysis. If this visit goes ahead, this could be Albo's downfall. It could also set a very dangerous precedent for political interference in this country.

I've never seen so much advertising for fungal foot problems as the last few years. I get it that these things exist. But if we can't use red liquid to advertise period products, then I don't want to see someone scooping toejam from their munted toenails.

If you're a business that begs and pleads with me via email to 'give us a rating' or 'we've missed you, here's 10% off" I'm more inclined to unsubscribe and never shop online with you or set foot in your physical store ever again. Does it actually appeal to anyone?

Fuck no!

I love that every generation has a stupid fashion trend that they'll look back on & think, "What the fuck was I thinking?" I'll leave tucking one side of my shirt into my bra to create a half crop top, for the young 'uns.😂

First Nations leaders have urged governments to take stronger action in response to the alleged attack at an Invasion Day rally in Perth on Monday. Social Justice Commissioner Katie Kiss says failing to do so "sends a message that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people do not matter".

Albanese must lead a strong response to the Boorloo Day of Mourning bomb attack. After the horror at Bondi we saw that leadership on violence and racism is possible with political will. The same urgency is needed on rising threats against First Peoples. My response: nit.com.au/28-01-2026/2...

My hairdresser did a perfectly acceptable job of cutting my hair today (trimming, really) but I had to pull it back into a clip the moment I got home. Today’s humidity calls for an up do, no matter how much styling I ruin.

"They're being so vague and the language could be describing either option."

Someone DM'd me, but Bluesky is asking for age verification. As I was able to see & read DM's last week, I don't know what suddenly changed.

I’m very lucky to have air conditioning at home, although I try to hold off for as long as possible before putting it on. My eyes are feeling like I’ve had a day at a windy beach.🫩

It feels a bit discombobulating to be experiencing 40°C+ temps here right now and then seeing walls of snow in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s got me yearning for Winter.

Nothing like stating the obvious, but it's a bit hot out there! #MelbourneWeather

I was making pasties for tea & ran out of puff pastry sheets. Rather than throw the excess filling away, I used a pre-made frozen roti bread as a pastry substitute. It’s just come out of the oven & you can’t tell it’s not puff pastry. Taste test will be lunchtime tmrw as I’ve eaten my fill tonight.

Another day in the garden doing menial tasks that wear me out, but if I don’t do them, the yard gets out of control. I need to get it to a low maintenance point, but feel like I’m still catching up from the last 2 years of injuries. It beats doom scrolling though, so that’s a win.

If you’re someone whose bio is full of praise for AI then I don’t think we’re a good fit and I’m going to block you.

The young kids working at the ice cream shop tonight deserve to be paid double. The place is wall to wall with customers!

The youngest daughter and I went on a quest to Whittlesea today. I’d pulled over to work out the directions home, when I noticed a huge WillyWilly (dust storm)in the side mirror. Did I put the windows up, therefore not filling the car with dust & grit? Dear reader, I did not!

There is a bird calling from the tree in my backyard and my brain deciphered it as “Fuck yeah!” (I think it’s a Pied Currawong, as I can see them scratching around in the garden.)

About 5 years ago, my leg pain was really bad after playing tennis, so I invested in a leg & calf massager to help ease the discomfort. Although it was an expensive purchase at the time, it’s cheaper than getting a leg massage every week.

2 hours of mulching done. It’s slow going because I’m weeding the beds and trimming plants as I go.

Excellent analogies used in this article. I wish our government was less timid (or owned by FF & corporations) & more willing to invest in innovation & future proofing. But instead we’ve got #NoGoAlbo & AUKUS.

I used to be able to finish a project like this in a day. But I faffed about and took my time because the fabric can be difficult to sew. One cover is finished with the 2nd one partially done. I’ll get the inners tomorrow.

Will the rumours prove to be true? #DingDongTheWitchIsDead #WorldPolitics

Sometimes I get sewing ideas that are a bit above my skill level, but decide to give it a go anyway. And of course, I choose one of the most difficult fabrics to work with. (I'm looking at you, velour!) Anyway, here goes nothing!

I’d love to be able to get my point across so angrily but succinctly like this. 🙌Politics Girl.

Now let's do an article on the added pressure these delivery apps put onto the staff that pick the groceries. Ask them about the abuse they receive from pickup drivers who arrive before the run has been picked? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Of what "culture" is it that they speak? Our "culture" of genocide? Our "culture" of racism? Our "culture" of settler-colonialism and imperialism? NONE of these things held so dear by the Right are "broken." ALL of them are shamefully alive and well, in FULL SWING. #auspol

“wELL AI iS iNeViTablE noW. So We hAVe tO fIGurE oUT hoW tO mAkE iT sAfEr” That’s a garbage take. This shit is not inevitable. Nothing is. Don’t use it. Turn it off. Say no. Sabotage shit. Be the voice of dissent in every room pitching AI “solutions”. Even the humans behind it know it’s trash.

Hey Instagram/Meta! If I turn the volume off on your products, DO NOT TURN IT BACK ON when I leave the site!
