One of my favourite little roads in Sydney is Rose Terrace in Paddington (but feels like Darlinghurst). This run of heritage listed terraces were built before 1875 by Edward French, bookmaker turned speculative builder. On an early morning under twinkling stars, the cold bites.
The Australian Jewish community has been gifted $804 million in 2 years. Women of all faiths, or none, are at more risk of violent murders and assaults than the Jewish community. 42 so far this year, yet no royal commission, no change to legislation, sweet fuck all #auspol
Most of the suburbs in Canberra for a long time were named after former Prime Ministers - we’ve never had a Caitlyn but whoever did this gets my vote..

I've always though it's the salad that makes the burger. The balance of salad with the meat and bread that makes it so yum. So what did all the corporate shite merchants do? Eliminate salad altogether, in most cases. That's not a burger. It's an unidentified brown lump on a sugary bun. Yuck.

the funny thing about people in the western world being angry at sikhs for taking all the trucking jobs is that people in India are also angry with them for taking all the trucking jobs. It's not you. It's what we do. We are the Truck Guys.
Do any Australians remember the hamburgers of their youth before the mass produced McDonald’s rubbish arrived? With actual fresh salad inc beetroot, a meat patty made by the business making the hamburgers, real ground beef, fried onion ?

I'm sorry if you disagree with me but … #BirthControl is an extremely critical part of care for women. Hormonal birth control (Depo, the ‘pill’, etc.) is used by many women to regulate their menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand reproductive biology should STFU. #HerBodyHerChoice
