I miss David Lynch.

Alice Wong, disability activist and luminary, dies at 51 - The Sick Times Alice Wong platformed and uplifted people with Long COVID in her final chapter as a lifelong disability advocate and storyteller.

Here is an obituary for Alice Wong from The Sick Times, a publication aligned with disability rights and disability activism, if you are looking for an alternative to reading the nyt one: thesicktimes.org/2025/11/15/a...

One day I might treat myself to 40mL of Lapis Lazuli oil paint.

A 40mL tube of Michael Harding Cobalt Teal oil paint is $97.95. 40mL of Langridge is $69.95.

It better taste god damn delicious when it arrives.

maybe just a little nibble.
but only the synthetic flavours.

This is probably one of the most pretentious things I will ever say about music but I think albums made with streaming in mind are inferior to albums made to listen to end to end.

The sound and feeling they give is completely different and you can tell.

There I said it. I won’t take it back.

Oil painting is such an underrated hobby because what do you mean for three hours my main task can just be “don’t eat the paint”?!

Yesterday we caught someone trying to start a street fight with our mailbox.

ngl that word cloud looks more "LinkedIn Influencer" than "Data Science Gremlin" 😱

Good news #kawaiicon!

in the world of ai being forced down throats it's nice to remember a bunch of strings can make fabric just with my hands and a little machine

A screenshot of a Markdown file with blog meta data, the content of the post starts with "I recently finished putting together" with PyCharm IDE suggesting in grey "a talk about what we do all".

Does anyone know how tf to turn of PyCharm's newly aggressive text suggestion? It has turned blog & README writing into an absolutely dog shit experience.

Hiya, one of the local disableds here.

While you're celebrating #Menulog closing down, remember: Woolies and Coles delivery is getting less reliable (at least where I am) and platforms like Doordash give me access to Aldi as well as ways to fix my weekly groceries when the orders are (very) wrong.

going to be awesome to be 15 years old in victoria, where you won't be allowed to watch youtube but will be allowed to go to prison for a thousand years

Victoria’s ‘adult time for violent crime’ reforms will not solve the youth crime problem

These reforms violate human rights obligations, contradict the evidence and will be devastating for children and young people in conflict with the law.

In an Australia first, I used FOI to get the AI chat logs of Australia's top national security bureaucrat.

They show how he used Microsoft Copilot to ghostwrite speeches and messages to colleagues.

This comes as the government looks to push AI use in the public service.

For the first four months of its existence ASIO was named Australia's Security Service. It was quickly changed and we were robbed of a great acronym.

For those who missed it, my acceptance speech went something like: "I like skin diseases"

Hey #kawaiicon one more thing as we head back to work: if you're going to try taking your full lunch break or finishing on time and feel like you're already "failing" that’s okay.

Consistency isn’t about being perfect; just show up and try your best each day.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Watching “Welcome to Derry” and the featured ASL interpreters are absolute scene stealers! I love them!

slide with a burning flag, the text "join a union", and a picture of parliament burning on guy fawkes day with the text "i got Radicalised at kawaiicon 2025"

Add to that 3 emu looking tree stumps.

We played spot the emu on the way home, I think the total count has been 2 emus, 1 echidna and 2 emu looking bushes.
