Happy to do acts of kindness of any size - today and always. Also happy to continue calling my actions "acts of kindness" because I'm an atheist Australian who isn't interested in propping up religious organisations and their representatives by reproducing language allied to a belief-based cause

#Auspol should be a lot madder about this. 'Australia’s new electoral laws have all the hallmarks of a cartel move ... This is not reform. It is a rort. It entrenches the major party duopoly at a time when Australians are asking for something different.' www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2026...

The monthly grief group at Deloraine House is this Friday at noon. Please be at the front door by 5 minutes to 12. #GriefWhisperer #Tasmania #ComCom #GriefLiteracy

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

It has been The Onion's best year since we broke Watergate and subsequently, personally had Richard Nixon removed from office. I'm going to share some personal favorite stories in this thread. Please add your own, and visit the Our Annual Year recap below. theonion.com/our-annual-y...

I'll be on Afternoons with Amber Cunningham of ABC Radio Perth tomorrow, New Year's Eve!! I was quoted in a recent ABC print article, then my details were requested, which is a flattering testament to my stance on clear language for end of life and advance planning. 😍 #happiness #AskAnnetta

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic. It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today. Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

No Day of Reflection for victims of men’s violence I notice. No special envoy on femicide. No armed squad offered to protect us, of course. Nothing to see here. #auspol

"The government’s response to the Segal review is to ignore its multiple unlawful recommendations ..." I hope he's right and they stay that way. Let's hope the IHRA definition adoption joins them in no-man's land. #Auspol (Paywall article) www.crikey.com.au/2025/12/19/j...

A few years back I created a micro-model supporting people who want to die at home with an aim to help streamline #EOLD work & eliminate carer burnout. I published a journal article in open-access (free). This model works for rehabilitation and disability - and has been downloaded over 6,000 times!

I'm going to say the quiet part out loud. The person responsible for the Bondi shooting is Benjamin Netanyahu. He is committing genocide. It can be expected that people whose relations are killed on a genocide might fight back in the only way they can see possible. NO, we don't yet know if (1/2)

If not today, then when? Is the state with some of the weakest gun laws in the country still going to proceed with this gun lobby driven change?

Found only in the Galapagos Islands the marine iguana is the only marine lizard species in the world, they can dive as deep as 30m (98 ft) and spend up to 30 minutes at a time underwater 📹Shelton Dupreez

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Start naming mass shootings after politicians who take money from the NRA.

Quick reminders - use the #PoveratiXmas tag so we can find each other - it's intended for people in Australia - don't judge ppl for their wishes big or small - share people's wishes and thankyous for the Angels (and potential #PoveratiXmasAngels) to see!! - be positive!

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

As a former submariner, #AUKUS has nothing to do with the defence of Australia. It has only ever been about the Yanks having nuclear facilities near Australian cities to support their nuclear boats against Asia and China. #Auspol – Fascist-Zionism.

Transition is work. HRT is cool and effective but it’s just one small part of a long and permanent process of self-discovery and praxis. Sometimes it will feel overwhelming. Lean on your friendly neighborhood hot girls when that’s the case and you’ll get rolling on your own eventually.
