I have a recurring dream where Ben Lee is just... there. He's not doing anything, but often he just appears like that guy in the room. I know he's there. He knows I know he's there. That's it. For some reason, I need Ben Lee to know this.

Celebrity influencer - what an oxymoron. Do they influence celebrities? Are they celebrities? Deodorant? Why do celebrity influencers smell so much? How much deodorant are they plugging to get paid £1m? Why do they look dead inside?

It's my estranged dad's birthday today which comes just under ten days after my estranged sisters birthday. Anyhow, July, sucks donkeys.

Full trains to the footy are fun, especially when there's people who love speaking to people on the loudspeaker on their phone. Someone is zenning out on the other side of the train and focusing on being anywhere but here. Kids are unmedicated and bouncing around the walls.

One of the most terrifying images in history: Gaza transformed from life into death. Gaza in 2023 and 2026 💔

Freo.

Simply horrific:

Very fucked that this is seeing almost no coverage by the media: Israel has amended their penal laws to empower military courts in the West Bank to impose the death penalty against Palestinians. This is supremely fucked. www.amnesty.org.au/israel-opt-n...

Israel/OPT: Newly adopted death penalty law must be repealed

Israeli authorities must urgently repeal legislative amendments expanding Israel’s use of the death penalty, adopted today with a majority of 62 Knesset

In the notes app on my phone I have a huge list of what I believe would make excellent band names. I also have one for song titles. I'm not in a band nor am I a musician.

Desperation by Stephen King. Maybe not too young, but younger than it's intended. So many paragraphs about the villains dick.

America is an unsalvagable nation that will never be repaired or saved. I fear for those who live there and the lives they're being subjected to. Shame on these people.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.
