This makes me so emotional. The first friend I had who was close to my age who died of cancer was killed by this. She literally went for her first pap smear and they could see it. She fought it off and on for 10 years and I was working with her the day her pain came back. She knew it was the end.

#MistletoeAndSage Today is a good day to watch a cozy Hallmark movie 😌🍿

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

More of this please.

Muslim leaders begging NSW Police for years to shut down the hate preacher that radicalised the Bondi shooters, NSW Police refusing as keeping the centre open was "a good source of information," and then ASIO/AFP bungling the surveillance, only for everyone to blame Muslims. What a world!

I’m sorry, but why are people posting Diana Ross misinfo? That photo of her and MJ are of them with their kids at an event in DC, NOT of them on the island with Epstein victims. An event of which we already knew about and was PUBLICLY photographed 2 decades ago

Automatically blocking anyone I see trying to justify Bill Clinton being in the Epstein files. WE DON’T CARE ABOUT THAT LOSER. Kick all of their creepy asses to the curb promptly and publicly!

It is the winter solstice tomorrow (in the northern hemisphere) this is your reminder that English Heritage live stream the sun rising over Stonehenge on their YouTube channel from 7.30am tomorrow morning. www.youtube.com/live/FEnQmoc...

The #1 movie from when you were 10 is how your 2026 is going to go. Let's hope it's more Hakuna Matata than Be Prepared.

Among other things, they put you in a wheelchair basically regardless of what your mobility issue is. But more importantly: something odd and troubling is happening, so much 'disabled people are faking it!' stuff in the air.

Before we all collectively hold our breath and dive into the pool of holiday chaos for the next week, I just want to say to the parents out there (including MYSELF)…

what's better than cracking open a fresh calendar 📆✨

Benalla bushfire BENALLA, VIC. — A major grass fire has broken out as strike teams assemble at Glelrowan CFA Fire Station. 

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

I’m looking for 100% Filipino people who are willing to submit a cheek swab test in hopes for a genetic match to my aunt, who is battling blood cancer. The registry for stem cells doesn’t have many Filipino people in it, and joining it could help many. Please share/reach out to me! bit.ly/4aiUIKQ

I've been doing pretty well for the last while but today I'm suddenly back deep in the depression hole. Everything feels so hard.

The f word song. Even when they cut out that bit. It's just so ridiculously overused anytime someone wants an 'edgy' Christmas moment.

It's a beautiful night in Naarm right now. It's 1:20am, I've got the window open, the fan on, and I'm laying in bed listening to Christmas music and watching the Christmas lights outside. 10/10

you’ve become the very thing you swore to destroy

Chag Semeach, y’all! Behold the KRAKENORAH!

I'm going to do my best to alt text this because holy crap, everyone should know.

Today on Gone Medieval I have an episode about the Jewish community in Medieval Norwich. I went up last week to interview my mate Oren Margolis and I am really proud of this one. I just wish it wasn't so timely. It feels weird. Anyway, check it out. share.google/PkLRhPHXoise...

Comment from a trauma doctor. Non-life threatening injuries do not mean minor. They are often life changing. Long guns mean high velocity and large amts of tissue damage compared to handguns. Patients are frequently left with pain and disability for the rest of their lives. It is never “over”.

That they chose that name for her because she was the first Australian in her family is killing me. She should have been safe here. 💔💔💔😭😭😭

And the Hanukah Sharks are finished. Closest I could find to a Hanukah Jeff the Land Shark. #CrossStitch

Before the European Enlightenment, cultures across the world engaged scientifically with the natural history, and showcased it visually with their own unique visual language and perception of the living world. I do not understand the current aversion to different "styles" in scientific visual art.

Soo many good people who were just trying to live their life. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

The girlies don't want a Gaston origin story. The girlies want a Kronk origin story.

We really are trapped in a dystopian film at this point.

Bears are everything

“Oh you should be online to try to provide value to your political side” fuck that that’s nerd shit you should be online because you’re unwell and need to tell people about weird animals you saw

Posting this again because I've been getting questions: at this moment there is no licensed merch for Murderbot or Sanctuary Moon except what is on Worldbuilders Market worldbuildersmarket.com/collections/... where it's sold for charity fundraising. And they are getting a new t-shirt design soon.

The guy's name is Ahmed and he is a Syrian Australian. Can we at least get that right? Also, yes he was really shot even though you haven't seen a video of bullets entering his flesh. I'm so over the angry weirdos being offensively wrong about this right now.

I'm going to bed and I'd really appreciate it if all the Americans talking shit about the Bondi shooting could get it out of their system before I wake up again. The lying about what happened, the weird nasty shit about our gun laws, the using it to push their fucking repulsive agenda, all of it.

If you are after signed copies of THE GLORIOUS DEAD, in the last few days I’ve scribbled in copies in @foylesforbooks.bsky.social at Waterloo Station, Columbia Road Books, and @hatchards.bsky.social at St Pancras. And there’s one at @waterstones.bsky.social Leadenhall and one at Lewisham too.

Here’s an article from this year with the Australian gun lobby boasting that, with surging gun numbers, it was winning the fight against firearms control advocates. Blame guns. Blame anti-Semitism. Blame terrorists. Do not blame everyday Australians who marched for peace.

Holy shit he's actually gonna try and do it Godspeed

Netanyahu assumed the hero was Jewish so he said his bravery was the “pinnacle of Jewish heroism.” I look forward to him talking about Muslim heroism, but he’s too busy committing a genocide against a largely Muslim population

Husband has a zoom interview for a job he really wants so I'm doing festive painting with thunder boy. This has evolved from painting Christmas cards, to smooshing all the colours and glitter together in a painting, to decorating almost all of his upper body. He's so happy. 5 minutes to go. 😊

May Matilda's memory be a blessing. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

Everything is heavy at the moment, so sharing a little lightness of a feed of menorahs, cats in Christmas trees, and twinkling lights.

This entire weekend

Having just seen that Grok is pretending Ahmed al Ahmed is a some non-existent white dude (because what else would that white supremacist propaganda machine come out with?), I'll give this a boost. Dude's name is Arabic. If one were to assume anything, surely its that he's Muslim?
