And so begins 72 hours of moving. Im going to miss where I live. I never identify as a person with a disability because fuck that, but living somewhere central, easy to get around and with access to services has been so beneficial. Being forced to move to areas with limited public transport etc

You know what I loved about band camp? For a week i wasn't bullied. Even my primary school music teacher got in on the bullying because I guess she wanted to be cool? But for that week in year 7 I wasn't bullied (except on the bus home) and made life long friends. Band camp rules.

United Airlines flight attendants approved a new five-year union contract with average raises of 31%. About 30,000 flight attendants with @afacwa.org will now get their first raise in nearly six years. The contract also means attendants will finally get paid during boarding.

Im so greatful I've secured housing I've not even complained about the annoying tasks like moving electricity, connecting internet. Disconnecting internet etc But I have complained about packing and moving boxes and the physical pain a LOT 36 hours til we pick up the keys

In the blue corner, Tony Abbott: Australia’s worst prime minister. In the other blue corner: Alexander Downer, briefly Australia’s worst opposition leader and then worst foreign affairs minister. www.crikey.com.au/2026/05/07/t...

Cannot imagine a better casting than John Reynolds here

THATS why the LNP have been pushing Abbott so hard recently and talking about how good he was. Like I wasn't in the timeline where he was a good PM but apparently it happened in another universe? #auspol

In the last month I have seen a bunch of bands that have been around for 20+ years, and there have been sooo many young gen z at all of them. It's so wild. I can't imagine ever going to see a band that old when I was a teen!!

The economy explained. My @smh @theage cartoon.

I drink a shot every time Sean has to repost this. Please stop asking him; my liver is in bits

Slowdive and 80s pop is a wild choice between bands at this Deftones gig. My brain has no idea what is happening

For those following, I'm happy to report yesterday we were APPROVED for a rental we applied for 2 weeks ago. We had to ask if the move in date cld be moved slightly because our landlord went from being flexible to "no. I booked renos" After Hours on the phone yesterday we collapsed in relief

Team. We just got a call from an agent advising they are finalising our application. And it has now been sent to an owner for approval. If you have been sending us good thoughts know I am so grateful. And now we wait but still do admin and head to inspections

In case anyone is following our story no inspections til 1230 today. Yesterday we applied for 4 we saw. We got a rejection for a prev app. That one hurt. I wanted it. Today I'm calling a crisis line, the ATO to see if I can release super for Short term accom, & qld housing #auspol #housingcrisis

The most dangerous thing in the world to cops being thugs, is when they do it to a middle aged white man of means with a powerful friendship group. Go sick'em Rex www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I should probably get my depressed arse out of bed. I have a day of house inspections to get to.

Seriously though, if I'm dead that's one less person in BNE looking for a rental? The kid can stay with their partner and take the kitties. Im literally just surplus. I'm just not going to be homeless so. I'd rather jump off the story bridge.

I've been looking for three months. No successful applications. About to be homeless next Friday. It's bleak out here kids. I'd set up a gofundme so I can get us a short term apartment but I don't have the social media presence and who is really going to help? Honestly. I think I'd rather end it.

This is the first year I'm not interacting with viewing Met Gala posts. It's usually my favourite day of the year. The make-up. The design. But, I don't do Amazon. And I hate Bezos. So no clicks. FAFO

If you'll permit me, a thread: On the weekend, former Age editor Michael Gawenda had a crack at @jeffsparrow1.bsky.social via The Australian. Jeff's supposed crime was organising and publishing an anti-genocide letter in 2023 while editor of Overland and senior lecturer in journalism at UniMelb.

Happy May Day all. I'm still working as I work in after hours. For those of you who get the public holiday that was fought for by #Unions may you enjoy the time off, respect those who fought for the 5 day week, 8 hour day, and consider unionising if your industry can be unionised. #mayday

I just feel like the coke room at any trump event would be the most insufferable place in the world. Don Jr. Hegseth. Patel. Probably Eric for some reason. Someone should put a lil something something extra in the coke is all im saying.

My heart is with the family and community. Watching this unfold and the heartbreaking outcome has been... something. May Kumanjayi Little Baby be held safe by family members who have crossed.

If you pray or do spellwork send one out for me please. 1 week and 4 days until we are homeless unless we finally find a place. Im terrified.

Saw three properties. Got my #freecomicday books. Said hello to my lcbs. Now a food break before next Inspection.

Let's make him feel real welcome,huh?

For historical context: she has been a part of all of our lives, whether we knew it or not…

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

Im seeing so many vaguely familiar faces. I absolutely do not know these people but I swear I've seen them in this scene for years

The music at the Tivoli sounds like the same playlist I listened to at work. Which begs the question... did they find my Tidal??

Senses Fail and Saosin bought out all the Niche scene kids who were too cool for My Chem in Brisbane tonight. It's me. I'm one of those kids. So many middle aged scene kids with niche music taste tonight!!

I really wish I had this level of blind faith and unfounded optimism. The bliss!

Every time I read a piece about somebody with an “ai-assisted editing process” I feel like I’m watching someone trying to intellectualize a deliberate choice not to think or concentrate

Good God some of the houses I this part of Brisbane are gorgeous.

When you get on a bus you don't know to get back to the cbd and find out it takes the scenic route. Honestly, I'm into it. I have no idea where I am but I love it.

Incredible. Recently I was rewatching the Alex Jones doco The Truth vs Alex Jones and the kid sat down to watch it with me and was absolutely floored by this guy. They knew a little about the whole thing but seeing it was for them a whole new level.

Maybe the NDIS should rebrand to National Defence Initiative Scheme and then money would be no object.
