A cup of couscous
Some fried veg
Three breath mints
One coffee
An old friends hug
An I love you over the phone
The warm affection of a small dog
Four messages to make sure I'm still alive

Maybe it's time
for a nap

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

This is still true. #auspol #FuckIsraelAndAustralia

A wonderful author. One of our favourites

Heartbroken by the news about Maurice Gee. Our families moved in the same circles and I was friends with his daughters when we were tiny people. He was such a kind and gentle person (despite the dark topics his books explored) and his home was somewhere I always felt safe and accepted.

🤣🤣🤣 Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss. No Kings Day 🤣🤣🤣

Q: When is a genocide not a genocide?

@australianlabor.bsky.social: When Israel does it.

Q: When is an illegal act of war not an illegal act of war?

@australianlabor.bsky.social: When Israel does it.

That's it, folks. In a nutshell. 🥜 #auspol #FuckIsraelAndAustralia

A Democratic Mayor arrested.

A Democratic Congresswoman indicted.

A Democratic Senator tackled and detained.

A Democratic State Representative killed.

A Democratic State Representative in critical condition.

We can all see where this is going.

#BREAKING 🚨 Minnesota gov Tim Walz has announced Democratic state rep Melissa Hortman and her husband have been killed in a politically-motivated assassination

Dem state senator John Hoffman and wife also shot but out of surgery

Manhunt underway for suspect allegedly impersonating a police officer

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

I've had a double hernia op. 40 years ago. All went well but I was a smoker back then and coughing is not something you want to do.
My husband also had one more recently.
You'll be fine 🙂

Absolutely no need for 'scare quotes' on 𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, @australia.theguardian.com. We are watching Israel commit the Gaza Genocide in real time.

Also no need to cast doubt with your "international development minister says". It's obvious Israel has NO respect for int'l law or human rights. Do better.

Steph being awesome, as per usual. It's been far too long since I've seen this Most Fabulous Person xx

Shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you

This.

Boom 💥

Yes that could be. We did go on train excursions

Could be. I'll have to have a good think. I do get a faint glimpse in my memory. I don't think there was any grass. I will.ponder🤔

I recall dad taking me somewhere when I was about 5 or 6 to see a bora ring. No idea where it was but we didn't have a car so maybe it was when we were on holidays or perhaps within reach of public transport from Brisbane.

Our autumn has been pretty warm and muggy. (Almost a Qld style winter). Starting to cool a bit now. Glad LNP lost especially Dutton.

Nothing will happen. They don't have the will

How's it going?

'Ullo, 'ullo 'ullo

So clever. For Monty Python fans everywhere. 😂

And thank you, Green Frog Labs. 🐸

Us standing in front of a giant mutated (possibly due to exposure to antibiotic resistant salmon shit) red handfish. Had well over 6000 turn up. Bit of a shame nobody from the alleged major parties managed to make the effort.

Here is me and the fam @mmcclelland.bsky.social and @billyk44.bsky.social in front of a giant red handfish, one of which I sponsored with the proceeds from the rusted on bingo teatowel, so don’t say the labor faithful never do anything for endangered species.

In 1997, Nova Peris was the recipient of a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM).

Important that you @albomp.bsky.social demand the Chair of the Council for the Order of Australia takes steps to strip Peris of this honour. Nova Peris is a disgrace to this nation. #auspol
