Sweary post-menopausal single Mum with a liver transplant, an appreciation of dark humour and chocolate, and a commitment to fairness. I live on Whadjuk Noongar boodja, and pay my respects to the traditional custodians and owners of the land and culture.

Some suburban man with something to prove has altered the trajectory of my son's life. I hate them in our suburbs.

I'm in Pearce, the swing to the Liberals in the state seats wasn't enough to win them, but will be a concern for Tracey Roberts in May. Beyond me why the Liberal Party can't seem to figure out how to communicate with Millenial and Gen Z voters.

But that is not their biggest potential security problem. Itβs that, under Trump, the US will back Putin not just diplomatically but also militarily. π§΅

Corellas, pink and grey galahs, and parrots fly through the trees. Lulu barks at the people walking their dogs. Against the backdrop of a world gone mad, moments like this are precious, jewels in time.

Baroque music gets me in the zone at work, it's my trigger for flow state. It can only be Baroque, Renaissance, or early mediaeval. Mozart = itchy brain.
