I cannot convince my blind and autistic son to ditch Twerper and move here (heck, it took me years to talk him into moving positions at the dinner table). All hell is going to break loose if he needs to prove his age.

Come on, which one of us hasn't marched through our town centre singing Hitler Youth songs? We've all done it. Youthful hijinks.

My disabled son is too old now to be stung by this ridiculous social media ban, but he lives on social media and relies on it for friendship, common interest discussions and much more. The young man in this article expresses the problems with this ban so clearly. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s probably not a good idea to replace my 720 ml of donated plasma with gin, yeah?

Oh please…..

Archer looked like he wanted to throw the ball right at Smith running between wickets. #Ashes

LOL at Steve Smith smashing Archer #Ashescricket

Donating plasma and watching #testcricket

I’m very proud. Just got my second submission posted in Shit Brick Fences of Melbourne Facebook group.

Damn it. Wicket.

I have turned into my mother - I left the house today, carrying a tea towel. Mum always had one tossed over a shoulder, to wave off flies, flick a child, wipe her hands…I’m on the way.

Uh oh @danietreg.bsky.social

I live with two gunzels. Help.

@heymum3.bsky.social for those 2 special gunzels in your life 😂

How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

Hey Kristy, i just heard Charlie from Crimelines give you and your podcast, Making of a Musician, a huge shoutout! @sometimeskristy.bsky.social

Thank dog for that.

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Question. How do people take their evening meds? One at a time with sips of water? All at once? What’s the maximum pill count you’ll swallow at once? Pills v capsules? Water vs wine?

Woohoo made it to 17, which is 12 more than yesterday.

Scientists: have you been the target of an online harassment campaign, doxxing, or weaponized FOIA requests? I'd like to talk to you about steps you had to take to protect your digital security for an upcoming Nature story. (You can be anonymous if necessary.) RTs appreciated.

Maybe someone can help me find an artist who was profiled on Bandcamp within the past 18 months or so? Female solo artist who makes somber singer-songwritery music, a little gothy, with more ambient, maybe shoegazey? backing, no (or very little) percussion. Perhaps from outside US.

Trump is calling someone a big fat slob? Projecting much?

Need the Brits and Australians to weigh in on this.

Excellent article by @jacktoohey.bsky.social in @smhaustralia.nzcow.com on our obsession with real estate & its many negative consequences; “Aust finds itself in a paradox. Passive property ownership appears more financially rewarding than productive work…distorted reward system” Tax reform now!

I am crying……

You know what, I’m still dirty I couldn’t sit on the couch all day Sunday and watch the #Ashes. I had planned my weekend around it. #crickettragic

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other. Shared by @gizmodo.com: buff.ly/yAAHtHq

Having a sleep-in.

The two Aspies in my household are comparing obscure #cricket stats. I’m drinking Prosecco. #Ashes #cricket

Bummer. There goes my excuse for sitting on the couch all day tomorrow. What a match. #Ashes #cricket

What a century. Congratulations Travis Head. #Ashes #cricket

My goodness. This is an entirely different game. #Ashes #cricket

So happy for Boland. #Ashes #cricket

Nope

That first-day scorecard is terrible. Fewer runs than a T20 FFS. #ashescricket

As @michaelmazengarb.bsky.social pointed out, when Abbott cut jobs at CSIRO it inspired protests on the street. Now that @albomp.bsky.social is cutting it even more dramatically, why isn't the response just as impassioned?
