Ah, my daughter is one of the ones caught up in this at Newy! It wasn’t just the change of accreditation in her second year that was appalling but also the way the students were left to solve this on their own without any advice from the faculty. She had to do a double degree to become certified.

Oh wow! What fun!

Oh awful! Hope that you are okay. What a frightening experience with or without a panic attack!

Were you a #NewyTweep? Part of the OG #NewyTwitter? We're having a very #NewyTwistmas this year, on November 30, from 2pm at Carrington Bowling Club. Come? We're gonna party like it's 2011 - or thereabouts.

I’ve also struggled to find the vibrant local and Australian content that I’d built up in Twitter. It was the first place I went to for local news or to find out what was happening in my community. ABC Newcastle feed, local community all missing with most of my feed filled with American politics.

To be honest, I’m struggling! It’s been a traumatic month that didn’t match my hopes, but husband is slowly improving so I can’t complain. Vegemite toast is a modern marvel- enjoy!

Hope you feel better soon, but be kind and gentle to yourself in the meantime xx

Also chocolate! The empty nest fridge hits different!

I know that there is so much going on out there at the moment, but I have to ask- what makes you hopeful for the future?

When the Morrison Govt left office, they were employing 50,000 ppl through consultancies & labour hire & cost $20bn for a single year.

Gutting the public service will not save $$ & it will hurt our vets, age pensioners & new parents needing access to PPL.

Oh my goodness. What is new Microsoft robot detection tests for real? I couldn’t understand the visual one, failed the first audible one and don’t care enough to repeat it. 15 tests, and if you fail one, you get to the end and have to redo them all. I miss captchas

Decided to create some kind of digital note taking for my French language learning. What antidote-hole for what I thought would be such a simple task. What app? How to organise it? Who even knows!

HERE ONE MOMENT, Liane Moriarty: The premise is irresistible--a woman on a flight from Hobart to Sydney begins predicting the age and manner of death of her fellow passengers. Beautifully written, this propulsive novel has a serious theme. Could be a great Xmas present for that special someone.

This!

Stunning!

I’ve had a parcel with Aramex that left Sydney (two hours away) 11 days ago and I still haven’t received it! They aren’t answering phones and now their website is crashing. This is our national courier. Still- I can only imagine how smashed they must be. But maybe under-resourced.

Yeah, well Linda is cooler than anyone 😂 @lindadrummond.bsky.social right?
