Quirky Queer circa 70’s before it was cool. I’m drawn to the messiness of politics, the poetry of music and the power of refusing to neatly into any box.

The ad comes as the UN has released an authoritative report stating that Israel is committing a genocide.
We need this message to be heard by ALL Australians.

I hope they find the self-proclaimed Sovereign citizen murderer ‘Freeman’ soon. It must be agony for loved ones and the police service. I think sovereign citizens are a fringe mental illness mixed with a cult. Dangerous. #Australia

This is a fantastic way to educate children
It’s a form of resistance.
Shows like Sesame Street teach love, tolerance, acceptance & more.
These lessons are crucial for the long fight ahead.

Culture isn’t static — it shifts and evolves.
Australia’s culture has always been shaped by migration. Most newcomers integrate while keeping their heritage alive — that’s multiculturalism, not opposition.
What these protesters want is The white Australia policy reinstated. They are Australia’s MAGA. Fucking fools. Diversity is strength. #Auspol

I’m loving Dr Ann Jones she is such a treasure. One of Australia’s favourite nature nerds. Sometimes silly, sometimes a lil’ bit naughty but always entertaining and informative. Check out her podcast ‘What the duck’ and tv show ‘Secret Lives’ on the ABC #nature #spotlight

Today I want to share Kate Ceberano and her Australian made Tour. She can belt and is singing all of the songs of our youth. Aussie rock and pop from the pre-social media era. 🤘🎸 🎧see the tour or buy the album if you’d like to support her and Aussie music. Goddess. #FeatureFriday #Rock

The last thing we need is Trump-style supporters gaining traction in our politics or media. Kindness and compassion are far better goals than clinging to a 1950s white Australia fantasy. #Auspol

Lazy Sunday vibe 😊 Currently reading A Different Kind of Power by Jacinda Ardern. She’s such an inspiring woman—an empathetic, sharp leader who also happens to be a whiskey-drinking DJ. What’s not to love 🤷

Black and white photo of a ginger tabby cat sleeping in front of an old tv with bow tie style antenna, with another, darker kitten asleep lying against them.
Dear youngs,
That wire thing on top of the tv was called an antenna, and you'd often have to move it all around to catch the signal for the channel you wanted to watch.
Signed,
An old
