You know, when you think about it, Agatha Christie's brain must have been a terrifying place to be in: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SRY...
Random thought of the day (RTOTD): 25% of being a successful adult is knowing when to keep your mouth shut.
Random thought of the day (RTOTD): You can tell a lot about a person by which animal they choose to come back as if reincarnation exists. For me it's either a pelican or a swan. They can swim, they can fly, they bring beauty to the world and they have very few enemies.
I have been to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I think this is wonderful. Good luck. news.un.org/en/story/202...
When I was 16 I got to use an oxygen mask when we had to make an emergency landing in Singapore en route to Bangkok.
Oh my God! That's the hotel I stayed in when I arrived in Beirut. Damn you to hell, Israel! www.france24.com/en/middle-ea...
Bravo to Daryl Hannah for speaking her truth. Too many women never get to present their side of the story and are frequently disbelieved when they do. The more women voice their stories, the easier it will become for others to do so. Thank you.

Conversation when I was visiting Dad who was watching the football. Me: Is Dennis Cometti the only football commentator in Australia? Dad: No, but he's the best.

Does this mean what I think it means?
STOP BOMBING LEBANON!
Speak for yourself. I can speak French, German and Russian because of my Arts degree. Along with a smattering of Spanish and Journalism.
@tamepunk.bsky.social Welcome to Bluesky. Great to have you here!
I watched Down With Love on my 35th birthday in Hong Kong and loved it. Bought the DVD as soon as I got back to Australia. Wonderful homage to 60s Doris Day / Rock Hudson films and Sarah Paulson and David Hyde Pierce totally steal the movie! www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...
Four of my favourite films are in this top ten, so no argument from me! www.wga.org/writers-room...
Thank you to the lovely graduate who told me this morning, "Piajurin, you always dress immaculately". Thank you for your kind words. You made my day.
What the hell happened to journalism in this country? Oh and can we be a republic now? And to answer the question, I don't think she would have much to say since she's dead. Might be a good time to resurrect the "Andrew is the queen's favourite horseman's son" conspiracy theory.
Every time I answer the phone and the speaker asks, "Is this @piajurin?", this is what goes through my head: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM3X...
Example: I was once parked in at my office in Goondiwindi. When I called the police they said they couldn't do anything because it was on private property. They weren't amused when I asked, "So if I murder her on private property, does that mean you won't investigate that either?"
Let me make this perfectly clear: THE POLICE ARE NOT HERE TO HELP US. THE POLICE ARE NOT ON OUR SIDE!
I'm Gen X. As a teenager/20something, I don't remember any great divide between the Boomer and X generations. How on earth did these hatred Boomer / X / Millenial / Z divides occur? Oh and can someone please teach Millenials and Zs phone etiquette? Identify yourself first THEN ask "Is this...?"
I donate to Four Paws and just read this in my inbox. Humans really are the most disgusting creatures on this planet!
A gay medical student is trapped in Iran, where being who he is puts him in danger. Italy’s refusal to let him return puts a life at risk. Act now. a.allout.org/s/Pa3Qw/
Ooh, that's harsh. Accurate, but still harsh.
Someone just suggested a remake of Wuthering Heights with the Muppets. Where do I sign up for this?
