Living in Elliston, South Australia on Wirangu, Nauo and Kokatha land. It’s coastal and the town is small. History, archives and a bunch of other stuff. I probably won’t follow you back if you follow me. I’m at my maximum following limit.

Congratulations! Now you can enjoy the freedom of no clothes whenever you want (except on the train, I hear that clothes wearing is mandatory there).

She could not be with a family that could surround her more with the love and care that she needs.

Be kind to yourselves as well.

Fuckitty fuckitty fuck fuck fuck Luke. That’s awful!

May the arseholes who did this be infested by pubic lice and cramp up in the arms so they can’t ever scratch. Shitheads.

Happy Birthday Brian,
loved forever.
Fellow 1966 baby
Our paths never crossed
But I’m thinking of the life
that you could have had
Of the life that you should have had.
Stolen from you in 1988
Loved forever, forever a little brother
Happy Birthday Brian

Ms Praxis, from a distance, a hug for you.

You’re doing the best that you can for your piggy friend. Tough to realise it’s getting close to saying goodbye.

While I resist the temptation to edit it to suit my current writing style, I do adore the relationship shown between librarian and researcher. Intimate, supportive and based on curiosity. What is there not to love?

Pretty excited to have this legend of Australian TV on board. There are still a handful of tickets left for this, the very first rehearsed reading of my new play. See you there!

Tomorrow I'll get my second cataract surgery. I can look forward to perfect eyesight in my old age. They replace old, fuzzy lenses with corrective lenses. And for the Americans out there I don't have to pay a cent. Even my bus fare getting to the hospital is free.

Why won't Malinauskas's South Australian Labor govt release govt data & info on the impacts of SA's devastating, extended marine algal bloom❓

What did the govt investigate or decline to investigate❓
What are they hiding❓
SA voters deserve transparency & accountability
