Ouch.

I can't even be smug about having an electric car because 98%* of the food I eat is delivered to shops by trucks burning oil, and prices will go up.

*The other 2% is apples, so many apples.

It never ends. And I only vent about the most egregious offences.

Like to thank the MAMIL who, just as I was tiring and the coffee was wearing off, rode up behind me and instructed me on where I should be in the lane. Gave me an excellent burst of rage adrenaline.

I think his ears are still ringing.

Some mornings are just so spectacular that you have to cancel your nap and do a quick 70k ride before commencing the holiday weekend chores.

An outline of a naked woman is embroidered on linen in the same bone white colour as the linen. She stands legs together, her right hand covering her groin, her left hand, palm up, extended slightly to her side. She looks to the right. Her entire body except for her belly is covered in intricate markings representing different neurological sensations. Her face is a mask of green lines, feathery grey lines cover her shoulders and chest. There is a thick band of intricate burgundy stitching around her waist. Her forearms and hands are covered in thick blue undulant lines. Her right leg has bands of burgundy along the muscles, with small dots around them. Her inner left leg has a thick line of blue running up it, with thin branches spreading towards her outer leg.

For this #InternationalWomensDay I’m sharing a symptomatology #embroidery, body map (2016), in which I stitched my #MECFS symptoms freehand over a few months. ME/CFS affects mostly women, and the symptoms are often ignored or not taken seriously because of medical misogyny.

For the first time ever I have a desire to listen to Kyle and Jackie O. Not the show, just the bit where he blows up a $100 million contract with a snippy, unnecessary and not even witty spray. For everyone who’s had to suck up a horrid co-worker, I hope she sticks to her decision.

They turned out to be perfectly fine. It was still several hundred dollars to be told, keep doing what you are doing independently to deal with issue, cone back in a year. I’ll take that, expected medication, happy to not.

Tim Minchin called me a genius. In front of hundreds of witnesses, mid-show.

Pro tip: don’t read the reviews while you’re in the waiting room for a first appointment with a specialist.

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.] From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes: NEWSREADER: Extraordinary images here of an expat in Dubai [The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly] …Having their first ever geopolitical thought. [CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. CLIVE MYRIE: To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent DAVID JONES: Clive, this is momentous It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’. [Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same] You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self. It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts. CLIVE MYRIE: Which are…? DAVID JONES: You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa. CLIVE MYRIE: And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days? DAVID JONES: I think we can expect to see: “I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To” CLIVE MYRIE: Mmm.

all that money going to CSIRO and for what? So they can sit around inventing imaginary spiders? www.csiro.au/en/research/...

Since Prince went that is.

is this a legal condition of entry to a show? the babes in arms bit.

"Minors, including accompanied children and babes in arms, will not be permitted."

Imagine telling someone in 1926 that in 100 years, every person halfway educated in world affairs would keep a mental list of every country possessing bombs that could kill a million people at a time. :(

But they were good art!

David Shrigley thumb sculpture ruining the view of the NGV’s classic brutalist/modernist facade.

IMHO anyone who starts their visit to the NGV by posing thumbs up next to this horror should be banned from entering.

“Residiual” for residual.

New Yorker typos getting worse. This one isn’t even a word.
