Morning all

ADHD life. Chaotic brain, chaotic apartment. At least 3 different projects on the go. I will step over this mess for a few days not noticing it, then a few days of feeling ill about it (but too overwhelmed to do anything about it) before finally snapping and tidying it up.

Did I successfully assemble an IKEA shoe cabinet? Yes. Did I also injure my back doing it? Also yes.

On the roster today to walk one of my neighbour's dogs 🥰. This is Tillie and she is a sweetheart.

I've just remembered that I have tickets to see one of my ALL TIME favourite singer songwriters in November. It's the 20th anniversary of Josh Pyke's Feeding the Wolves album and I am dizzy with excitement. (It's also in a venue with excellent air filtration).

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

Local woman wakes up, makes Violet Affleck the new U.S. secretary of health, makes oatmeal.

This is such promising research 🥰 Science saves lives

Is bluesky being glitchy again?

Having a very chill evening listening to Iron & Wine and trying a new sewing pattern

This album is a religious experience

Violet Affleck continues to be an amazing advocate

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

These attacks on vaccines, tylenol, fluoridation of water, masks, etc is to keep everyone so distracted that nobody has the energy to ask - why are so many lacking access to medical care? - why is gun violence #1 cause of death in kids? - why is life expectancy falling? - why are meds unaffordable?

I have a tonne of CDs that I cannot bear to part with I so looked up CD players and WTF, are they that expensive because nobody buys them anymore? Decent models are > $300. 😱

Ok but let me know if you need me to take care of your cats after the rapture today.

All the insta Rapture satire and pisstske videos are giving me so much joy

Autism does not need to be cured Ableism does The end

Headed to the hairdresser with my trusty air purifier 🥰

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

I hope all the American obstetricians and paediatricians are speaking out about this paracetamol/Tylenol fear mongering and lies. There is zero evidence.

I read this in one sitting last night. Beautiful, odd, raw, poignant. Set in Tasmania: White Heart, by Heather Rose

November 17, 1938. 50,000 devotees of “Western civilisation,” “traditional family values,” “positive Christianity” (the official religion of German N*zism) and rabid anti-communism gathered to mourn the assassinated German diplomat Ernst vom Rath.

White supremacy is not a “legitimate view.” Vilifying migrants is not “reasonable debate.” Eugenics is not a “controversial belief.” Genocide is not a “justified action.” These are all examples of violent racism. We should recognise this basic fact and reject such politics unapologetically.

In case you needed it, here's Muriel hard at work at the biscuit factory

Public transport adventure to Collingwood and Fitzroy

My Sunday plans: apple cake is in the oven, and I'm taking it around to my neighbour for our sewing morning. Taking an air purifier and I'll get her to PlusLife also.

I have a very warm cat radiating heat on my lap

A reminder: state-mandated mourning and censorship of dissent are basic signs that you have an authoritarian government. Just saying.

Victoria peeps: help advise VIC govt legislation on working from home policies. We want the right to WFH protected! engage.vic.gov.au/wfh

I think if you work in healthcare and you have one income only, you should get a better interest rate on your mortgage #auspol

Just got the date for my citizenship test!!! Better start studying

Beautiful day out on the Peninsula, followed by leisurely soaking at the hot springs.

On the train out to the distant suburbs of Melbourne to meet a friend, then we're off for a hike and then the hot springs. Panic attack talk ready to go in the headphones since trains are a big trigger for me 🙃. Also there is so much sneezing and coughing around 🤮

Australia's first National Climate Risk Assessment @theage www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... So a Sydney psychologist wrote to the hospital saying that the groups speaking (including MSF) would pose moral injury to Jewish staff and patients. Let's not talk about war and kids then. 🙃 This is an appalling and weak decision by hospital execs.

Remember when Dutton tried to stoke division saying African gangs were making Melbourne unsafe? These two beautiful kids were killed by a bunch of white thugs. Right now, the thing that makes me feel the most unsafe is the rise of white nationalism and anti-immigrant rhetoric

BLACK LIVES MATTER while the political class sanitises and fabricates stories about white extremist on white extremist violence, a gang of masked men - who are in all likelihood white, and nazis - stabbed and killed two Black children in Melbourne last weekend. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

I am advocating for you to be killed but I am using my inside voice you must debate me this is called democracy

Also the footage of the NZ team meeting Jacinda ❤️😭😭

If you need a good happy cry, I strongly recommend watching the pre and post match interactions between the NZ and South African women's rugby teams at the World Cup. Beautiful. And I don't even like rugby.

Official time 2:42:34 Hooray for slow runners!!! We work just at hard and are out there running for a long time.

Well, I did it. It was so difficult. #HalfMarathon

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

Most people don’t realize this, but every time you enter a public space without wearing a mask, what that shows to an #immunocompromised person is: Their life doesn’t matter to you You don’t care if you spread COVID to them, which could 💀 them or cause further disability (LongCOVID) 🧵 1/3
