One of these 3 ton utes recently drove onto my 18yo son's leg at a petrol station, crushed his ankle, he'll never be able to do any high-impact activity on it for the rest of his life. Some suburban man with something to prove has altered the trajectory of my son's life. I hate them in our suburbs.

It was beautiful to watch. Surprising, but beautiful. 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.

1. European and UK ministers are still talking as if their biggest potential security problem is a withdrawal of US support. But that is not their biggest potential security problem. It’s that, under Trump, the US will back Putin not just diplomatically but also militarily. 🧡

Sitting outside after dinner, the end of another hot Perth day. Sounds drift from the oval nearby. 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.

If you ask me she would have been a much better choice for Time's Person of the Year.

My 2024 Wrapped – get yours 2024 Wrapped

Not surprising at all, my Spotify Wrapped. Number 1 song? Brandenburg Concerto No. 6. Top artist? Johann Sebastian Bach. Why? 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.

I do now! She's not even 8 months old, and very cunning when it comes to cheese.

For those of us who don't live in the US, could you provide some context as to who this bloke is and why it's a bad thing?

Um, it's really weird that there's not more commenting on the fatphobic, anti-fat, throw-away line at the end of the screenshot. Maybe if the fashion industry catered for all body sizes, we could all be as fashionable as non-fat Japanese people. SMH ☹️

You know they'll track you down afterwards for the overdue payment of the cheese tax - they smell all, they know all...

We back on to the local park, lots of jarrah and marri trees, so there's lots of bird life (Perth, WA, Whaduk Noongar country). The resident butcherbird couple have young chicks who came for a shower in the retic, fluffing themselves and having a great time. #Birdsofbluesky #Australianbirds

I got excited today when I realised I was about to actually perform a task I'd decided to do 5 minutes before, and I'd focused really hard, and I remembered it, and then I was about to do it, and then I did it, and I was happy I remembered it. Anyone else's brain do that?

My son and I (Perth, Western Australia) recently had a carton of double-yolkers. Did the first two, thought that was interesting, then they kept on coming. Got down to the last two, we gathered in the kitchen for a ceremonial cracking, and yep, double-yolkers. What are the odds on getting 12?

On a personal note, thanks from a single Mum. My son finished high school last year and is close to finishing his Cert IV in computer programming this year. I wouldn't have been able to afford the original course fees, so am grateful for fee-free TAFE, helps thousands of us and our kids.

Looking forward to when BlueSky is normalised and people stop commenting on how difficult it was to leave all their followers on X/Twitter and isn't it nice here instead πŸ˜’

I'm a single Mum to an 18 yo son, mainly me and him since he was born. The weekly food shop together has always been a special outing. I started teaching him how to cook during covid lockdown - now we cook together most nights, and connect over the dinner we've produced. Favourite time of day.

Been spending too much time on social media over-consuming US election news. Not great for someone with anxiety.

So, now, quietly, couch-laying, cold-drinking, petrichor-inhaling, snack-eating, jarrah-admiring, self-caring. And starting The Diplomat S2 tonight 🩷
