The immune system is not a muscle.
It is a cleansing fire.
It causes collateral damage.
It has a limited supply of fuel.
It can get out of control.
Donβt burn your whole house down every time by catching every disease without caution.
I also really loved her (and the whole cast) in the Bruce Beresford βLadies in Blackβ movie. Really excellent Australian film from a few years back π
Meanwhile, I love living in Canberra, but do miss being closer to my family. I'm thinking Toowoomba, it's beautiful but it's got that uber-conservative rep, not sure how this lesbian leftie would fit in. Inner-city Brisbane would cost an arm and a leg. π
One thing I have not missed about the Sunshine Coast is having to take the dogs out in the never-ending summer rain! π³ππ€£
Ahhhh jet lag, old friend π
The Pew Research Center asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country.
The U.S. is the only place where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. pewrsr.ch/4ubNwaM
Back in Australia and it is so surreal to jump on a plane in London one morning, chase the daytime in the skies, and land in Australia at night. π±π€·ββοΈπ
Women everywhere are extolling the single life β not least, Pamela Anderson | Polly Hudson
oh thank god they took out a bunch of extremely dangerous [checks notes] little girls
Very grateful I made it safely to a Europe two weeks ago, and that I have a friend here in London I can stay with if I canβt leave as planned next week π
I see the aspiring Nobel Peace Prize winner is doing some more Peace. π
Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?
Me neither.
Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.
By the way, Albo could have avoided all this drama but simply not agreeing to participate in a word association game during an event hosted by the Herald Sun
I am in Edinburgh and unlike Paris Iβve been here before, so I can finally RELAX, wander around, work on the novel, and drink tea! π₯°
I left SEQld last year for reasons, and while I miss my friends and family, itβs not exactly a place I wanna be - if this eventuates, it doesnβt help π³π€¦ββοΈ
Au revoir, Paris!! π«π·π Could not have hoped for a better βPart Oneβ, and Iβm very excited to have a chill train day today! π¬π§π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ
My god, every post on fb is utter schmaltzy bullsh*t. Wish I could turn it off to only see posts by the 1-2 people in my life who still use it! ππ€¦ββοΈ
Congratulations Blair, it is a beautiful jumper!!! πππ
The idea of the US sending a hospital ship to a peaceful Greenland, where I assume healthcare is FREE, is blowing my tiny mind. Maybe there are thousands of people *in the US* (heck, just in Louisiana!) who could use the charity!?! What the F!?! π€π€¦ββοΈπ€―
Last day in Paris before I leave tomorrow. Iβm looking forward to returning to the UK for a visit after 12 years, but I have also had the BEST time here! Une ville magnifique! ππ«π·
LOVE THIS π
How am I ever going to put all these photos from Paris into a single photo book? I might need two! ππ€£πππ
As always, thank you Reddit π€π
She never lived to see this moment, but itβs worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.
She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrewβs.
Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.
I hate geo-blocking so much. I want to watch Alysaβs free skate and every video is blocked π
Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.
I am in France and the French are in the lead, and I canβt understand a word the commentators are saying, but they are losing their minds with excitement, and that is universal!!! π€£
Winter Olympics is wild. The menβs 4x7.5km relay involves every skier stopping twice in their leg to shoot some targets!? π€π€·ββοΈ Love it! π€£
Can confirm.
Swear I must be the only person who goes to Paris and loses weight, because who has time to try to figure out where to eat when youβre GF & EF and every restaurant is jammed with people! π· Looking fwd to having a little kitchen in Scotland next week!! π₯©π€€π€£
