I don't think I have enough years left to consume all the One Piece pop culture

This likely will kill me because my kid wanted me to put it on marketplace

Imagine being a National Party member? You’ve stuck with Joyce through all his drunken foolishness, his falling asleep as a slobbering mess in the chamber, his drunken ramblings as a slobbering mess on a Canberra street, then he repays your loyalty with a glib “ok fellas, I’m orf”.

A towering, billowing white cloud dominates the horizon, rising in a rounded, lumpy shape that resembles the children’s book character Grug. The photo is taken from inside a car at an intersection during golden hour, with traffic lights, cars, and trees in the foreground and the massive cloud glowing warmly in the evening light.

Illustration of Grug, a small, round Australian children’s book character made of brown, striped, grass-like fibres. He has a large oval nose, simple oval eyes, short arms and legs, and a tuft of grass tied at the top of his head.

Great movie

This will play during the end credits of the ALP, but the bag will be a very tattered version of the bingo teatowel.

The cover slide for my presentation at AARE 2025. It is titled 'Discord servers as queer classrooms'.

Looking forward to #AARE2025 next week in Newcastle! I'll be talking about how Discord servers have substituted for school-based sexuality and civics education for queer and trans young people - and what that might mean for sex ed and wellbeing on the cusp of a youth social media ban 🥴 🌈🎓

Thanks for saying but I'm just happy to support amazing work which I knew yours was from the moment I met you

This is the best news. Congratulations!

I'm so thrilled for you!!!

As Qld government school teachers take industrial action again today, I'm impressed by the level of public support. When I was a teacher we were so demonised for going on strike. This is both good news for public education and sobering. Sobering because we're aware of current teaching conditions.

I had this one. That picture. So familiar

You're moving to gods own country. The more fascist the government the better the punk music.

Have to spell out White Australia Policy these days thanks to Cardi B

“Do you believe in the right to “choose” a private education?” “Do you believe people’s property investments should be subsidised by taxpayers?”

You know what they say about absolute power and corruption...

Every time we remove knowledge from its roots, put it in a classroom, a textbook, an online worksheet or an AI platform, that knowledge becomes more and more statistical, more and more cerebral, more and more artificial. Teachers are tasked with the impossible of ensuring our intelligence is logical

Ikr! If there wasn't a test on the content tomorrow we'd be laughing about it

A torn worksheet written in Spanish is held up to the camera, with a large hole chewed through the middle. Through the hole, a small fluffy dog with white and brown fur looks up, mouth open in a happy expression, as if proudly revealing its handiwork. The scene is indoors, with furniture and shelves visible in the background.
