This is true of all social media these days. Our attention has become a commodity

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Mohair is the hair of a specific type of goat, just like merino is a specific type of sheep. Mohair goats are fuzzy and cute af 😍

"Bilbo Comes to the Huts of the Raft Elves". I bought a poster of it from the Bodleian Libraries Shop and had it framed. One of my favourite pictures ever!

A sepia toned black and white picture of Vincent Price as a young man. He's a white brunette man with a thin mustache and a tall build.

Donald Trump posing with his parents. Son bears a striking resemblance to his mother. Mother is wearing her hair in a bouffant style, somewhat akin the protest sign of Trump as Marie Antoinette.

And dairy farming has ruined the landscape, which affects tourism, which if I'm not mistaken is a much larger contributor to GDP?

I'm tired of right wing govts fellating the farming industry.

"Without farmers, the country stops" yeah but without teachers the country stops. Without aged care workers the country stops. Without shelf stackers the country stops. How about we give THEM massive tax breaks and bargaining power?

Meme of Henry Cavill posing on a red carpet with Jason Momoa sneaking up behind him as if to pounce on him.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.
