If they can stop certain grounds flashing the lights after every home goal, I would be eternally grateful. It is so triggering for migraine and epilepsy sufferers.

I love Tassie footy and we need a team. But the AFL’s stadium ultimatum takes a special kind of arrogance The still unborn Tasmanian Devils are now front and centre in the island’s culture wars. It didn’t have to be like this.

Thank you @martinflanagan.bsky.social

Enough with the flashing lights, @adelaideoval.bsky.social It’s triggering for many people.

Nat Smith was state Liberal member for Wollondilly 2019-2023 until he lost the seat to an Independent.

That’s child abuse. That poor child, being born to such ignorant idiots.

Pretty in pink... and green and purple - Erica Spinks In 2022, I made a small quilt to welcome my goddaughter’s first baby. It was fun stitching the project, mainly because it gave me the opportunity to lay out colours in a way I thought would stimulate ...

Every new baby deserves a new quilt. #quilts

Predictable behaviour. It’s revenge for not getting his own way.

Wonder if the commentators will all actually go to the games this year? Calling it from the studio is not the best.

Libraries across Australia are safe havens for vulnerable people – so some are hiring social workers to help Other services are increasingly telling clients that their local library can help them, and staff there are coming under pressure
