I have a pet cam so when my day becomes too much I can take a moment to watch my dog and cat and regain my will to live. Crazy how much I love that pair ♥️ #PetsOfBlusky #SkyPets #DogsOfBluesky #CatsOfBluesky

Since when was cruelty an Australian value @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social? Doing deals with PHON to charge students more for their visas is vile. Many already struggle financially while they're here. This makes them more vulnerable. We'll remember at the next election. #auspol

I found this one rather clever 😉

The latest annual taxation statistics from the ATO reveal that the gender pay gap remains very real and spans almost every occupation. Read more on The Point ➡️ https://theaus.in/3QYYBgF

It is now the deflecting pool. Release the Epstein Files. Release the Epstein Files. Release the Epstein Files. Pass it on.

Took the dog (aka the centre of my universe) to the vet today where we learned that he's a whopping 5kg, and the vet declared him (and specifically his teeth) to be splendid and perfect. Needless to say, I'm a very proud mum 😊 #AusDogs #SkyDogs #SilkyTerrier #DogsOfBluesky

I have the best cat and dog in the world. Fact.

#IfIWasATrillionare I'd give it away. I have a home, my health, work I enjoy, happy kids. What more could I want.

When we were kids, too old for a baby sitter but too young to be left at home alone, mum used to send us to the library while she was at work. They had games, and bean bags, and of course all of the books. Some brilliant memories. #librariesrock

So, on One Nation

Some days, despite doing as much self care as I can muster, eating well, sleeping well, exercising and getting outside, I still feel utterly overwhelmed by life and the state of our world.

I'm grateful for sleep and meditation, and the balm they are for my soul and my nervous system.

I just had to visit Big W. Not an experience I enjoy. The amount of utter rubbish available for purchase there, and other shops of that ilk, is genuinely distressing. It will all end up in landfill. Horrific.

AI is making people dumber. All around me it's blatantly obvious. People are losing their curiosity, their research and critical thinking skills. I've spent my whole life getting my brain to where it's at and I'll be damned if I'll let that wither away just to benefit some billionaires. #ResistAI

This is an excellent read, and an equally excellent listen (the author is a very listenable narrator). I Eat the Stars: How to Live Fully and Beautifully in a Collapsing World share.google/ZdNxG7j06D4X...

I snagged my new tights. I will, of course, be mending them as I intend to get many more wears out of them. But I'm sad I snagged them.

Regina is an excellent name for a hen. Adding it to my list.

I repeat...

AI is stripping people's ability to think at a truly frightening pace while generating genuinely crap content. My work is all for it, but I think I'll keep my functioning brain instead.

I'm loving myself sick in today's outfit and have already received a compliment from a random stranger on the bus. An outfit can make it break a day. And yes, of course I'm wearing my vegan docs.

I ate too many biscuits.

@albomp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social #TaxGas #RaiseTheRate #HandsOffTheNDIS Stop making the little people do the heavy lifting.

I wonder if the ALP would notice if we all posted the following: @australianlabor.bsky.social Raise the rate. #RaiseTheRate #AusPol

Expecting individuals to, once again, do all the heavy lifting while not imposing a #gastax is a wasted opportunity @jimchalmers.bsky.social that people will remember at the next election. #auspol

@amyremeikis.bsky.social I can't make it to the Avid Reader event tonight. If you know someone who wants a ticket, they're welcome to mine.

America's president is causing significant harm and loss around the world, and yet America seems powerless to stop him. Will there be reparations once this madness ends? #auspol

@janfran.bsky.social this episode of Only Fran brought me to tears. @senatorwong.bsky.social, you should be deeply ashamed. open.spotify.com/episode/3fp2... #auspol

I think I just managed to delete my threads account. Blessed day!!

Just checking, do we still share values with this repulsive specimen? #auspol

I'm so fucking depressed about the state of the world.

Morning. ☕️

Just checking @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social the Australian government has endorsed America and Israel's actions in bombing Iran, but we don't have the intelligence that supports that bombing and we don't know if it's legal? But we still endorsed it??

Every American needs to watch this:

This is the energy that ALL Americans should have right now! Well said @politicsgirl.bsky.social

the *cartoon* was divisive? *Not* the astroturfers screeching for a RC? *Not* the repeated statements that the government has "blood on its hands"? *Not* the MSM platforming and amplifying select voices? *Not* the blatant political opportunism? It was the cartoon?

Cowards.

Margaret Atwood once said: "Women are afraid of men murdering them and men are afraid of women laughing at them." That was what happened in Minneapolis - writ large.

How I'm walking out of 2025

It's just clocked over to Christmas Day in my part of the world. Merry Christmas to those to celebrate it.
