Post by tumblr user waterandsilver: I don't think I've ever met a printer that actually wanted to be a printer. I think most printers have dreams of being on the stage

I have to “print something” which is basically impossible. Why do I suffer

Amazing thank you!

Ok that’s great

Interesting thank you

Journos, what do we use for news aggregation these days? I used to have RSS feeds and tweekdeck columns, but neither work anymore

Exclusive: Israeli President to Make Official Australian Parliamentary Visit The official parliamentary visit has not been made public by either the Australian or Israeli governments.

“Lamestream understands that journalists in the Canberra press gallery have been briefed on the visit but asked not to report on it.”
Incredible.

I wish I was a noble in Bridgerton, so all my concerns were about clothes and not knowing what orgasms are

I’m saving all these you mentioned, so thank you!

Hello my friend! Just finished:
Will of the Many (and sequel)
Shadow of the Gods (trilogy)
And just started: Her Majesty’s Royal Coven by Juno Dawson.

Highly recommend all of them, but the John Gwynne series was my favourite so far

I am SO excited about this!

So QAnon spent years spreading conspiracy theories that the government was run by a cabal of elite pedophiles and it turns out they supported the actual cabal of elite pedophiles to get into power and destroy democracy.

In Australia it’s not called “twink death” it’s moving into your golden gaytime

I don’t like organised fun, but Dungeons and Dragons is my shining nerdy light amid the darkness | Patrick Lenton I travel to my friend’s house with a bag of dice and other strange accoutrements that, in an 80s teen film, would lead to me being thrown into a dumpster. I love it

I wrote about dungeons and dragons becoming more important as a social function as I get older for @australia.theguardian.com

Thank you for reading!

In Spite of You by @patricklenton.bsky.social is an hilarious queer revenge romance set in Australia.

Thank you!

So fun right

Ok will do

The rook series are some of my favourite books ever

Also Australian-authored: Luke Arnold's Fetch Phillips series, starting with Last Smile in Sunder City (2020). Author played Long John Silver in 'Black Sails', so there's multiple levels of international success going on there.

Amazing thank you!! This is perfect

Agree

Haven’t heard of this!

Ooh haven’t heard of the last one, thank you
