Ok. 2nd round of proofs finished. Firm email requesting left justification of headings sent. Only index to go now. But first a day off to rest my poor shoulder. #Writing #BookOutIn2027

There's even a lovely one not far from me - which, when it reopens in Spring will have over 200 rose bushes! www.kayenagardensestate.com.au

A beautiful flower farm-you get to pick your own bouquets while watching beautiful butterflies flying everywhere. This particular farm is Sophie’s Posies Flower Farm in Fayetteville, AR. (There are flower farms in every state.)

My garden this morning. I'm so grateful for the beauty it offers me #BloomScrolling #Gardens #Flowers #Tasmania

And we all know who the policing of this will target, don’t we? #Racism #auspol

Some Katherine residents are calling for a youth curfew to be imposed after a group of joy-riding youths nearly collided with a mother and her 2-year-old daughter while they were driving home yesterday.

If he had assaulted a man and bashed his head into a wall and left him traumatised there would be no discussion about "perhaps he should be jailed". A crime against a man would, and always is, taken more seriously. It doesn't say if he knew this woman but he has previous for violence. Jail him.

A Victorian court has been told the victim continues to suffer flashbacks of the attack, while a lawyer for the former AFL great says his client is being investigated for the concussion-related brain injury, CTE.

My god, the things I could do with $10,000. And none of them would enrich billionaires or racists.

The view from my house at the moment. It’s 1:15pm. I assume the house up the top of the river is part of the rapture? Just waiting for the rain to arrive because our kitchen roof is leaking - of course.

White Privilege is arrogantly believing that reverse racism actually exists.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social I feel I hear the call of your people 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Overnight, a masked bandit broke into our kitchen. Armed with opposable thumbs, he proceeded to sample everything on offer. I’d just visited the farmers market, so the menu was extensive. I can now share a highly specific peer-reviewed list of what this particular raider did & did not enjoy. 🧵

‘Anthropic described the project as “our effort to disruptively scan all the world’s books” in an internal memo, which noted “we do not want it to be known that we are pursuing this project”.’

Bill Oddie was such a funny guy, a champion of the environment and so far I haven’t heard a bad word about him. That’s a legacy. Rest in peace, Bill. youtu.be/iAmx_XdQky8?...

Found this on Tumblr with the caption, "Saw a fire, stopped his car, got out and Madonna'd the fuck out of those flames". I want him carnally.

Please do have a look and sign the peititon above Tasmanians. You may not think you know anyone affected by this issue but you probably do. I do, and understand that It is an absurdity to try to make up for these terrible historic abuses by giving support to one affected group but not the other....

Is this kind of AI generated bullshit created and platformed by people who don’t believe Australia is real? #auspol

From long life experience I can tell you that a man who behaves aggressively when he can’t get a dog to do what he wants is not safe to be around. This man can’t exercise 10 minutes of self control.

#730 #BarnabyJoyce BL red faced rages head lowered & forward leaning , screams at a vulnerable dog, how does he treat that dog/kids when no one‘s looking. Loses control “SIT DOWN.” Rational brain gone. Knows #Hanson is dragging him down the toilet. Waiting for the big break up.

I am SO TIRED of the misogyny of this stuff. He would make these jokes! Looking very vaguely feminine is NOT THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN TO A MAN. ITS NOT DEMEANING OR FUNNY. You are doing the thing that you purport to hate him for! Just fucking stop it.

Honestly this is so worth the 10 minutes it will take you to read it. Everyone who’s ever been in a community Facebook group will recognise these people. I particularly like how the entrance fee to the local history talks gets cheaper each time 😂😂

As someone who left a high-control religious group, Sherrie knows that the Census can be an opportunity for many people who have lived in silence to finally have their voices heard on the matter of religious affiliation.

Dear Australians. Please stop ticking that you belong to a religion just because your parents held you over a font as an infant or sent you to religious classes as a child. Do you really want public money being directed to something you’ve never willingly participated in? #censusAU2026
