Editor, proofreader, feminist, optimist, radio presenter, Melbourne Demons tragic. My enduring loves are words and music.
Got the coven back together tonight to do a Winter Solstice ritual that involved binding and burning some of the world’s evils. It felt good 🧙♀️
With all of the scandals and corruptions etc etc I applaud the media for their restraint in not yet having rolled out “#ElonGate”.
Australia reacts to Pauline Hanson's National Press Club apapearence.
If Pauline Hanson wants a 'monocultural' society she's come to the wrong place. This land has held the world's oldest living cultures for 65,000 years. We've built one of the most successful multicultural nations on earth. Her "one cultural umbrella" is division, not unity.
Every time PH answers a question so far today at the Press Club she’s one step short of losing her temper and shouting at whoever’s asking her the question
If you want this to be factually accurate, add “men’s” or include Marta.
She constantly sounds angry all the time, is this really someone Australians want in charge at a time of crisis ie a bad bushfire or a flood
If I had a dollar for every time a transgender person affected my life I’d have $0.00
The vast majority of Australians support access to abortion, including 84% of One Nation voters. It's clear from the experience in the US that banning or restricting access to abortion compromises women’s health. @ebonybennett.bsky.social #auspol
If he dyed his hair red he could get a fair bit of work as a Pauline Hanson impersonator
If you're a normal person you probably think it's bad that billionaire Trump pals like Gina Rinehart have Pauline Hanson in their pocket. So of course the most abnormal publication in the country thinks it's good.
This is a man across his Treasury brief. Imagine Tim Wilson in that hot seat. 🫣 #jimchalmers #ABC730
Watching BBC series SPOOKS season 4, made in 2005. Episode 3 is about the rise of the far right in Britain; episode 9 has the USA threatening to start a war in Iran. How sadly prescient 😕
Tonight I was on a packed train to Flinders Street Station in Melbourne and hundreds of Hawks and Pies fans got off at Jolimont. Left behind on the floor: one lonely condom😕
If you've never listened to The Bugle before this would be a fantastic place to start. Not only are @zaltzcricket.bsky.social, @alicefraser.bsky.social and @natogreen.bsky.social as funny and intelligent as ever, but hearing Nato talk about finding hope in the world was wonderful and very moving.
Nato Green@natogreen.bsky.social · 4mo agoThis weeks episode of @thebugle.bsky.social podcast was needed for my mental health. Spending time with the brilliant and hilarious @alicefraser.bsky.social and Zaltz is a salve. Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
MICF 2026 show 3: Judy Horacek in EVERYONE ON THE BUS FELL DOWN (NOT JUST ME), directed by @fionasn.bsky.social. Judy has dipped a toe into the stand-up comedy waters to present this show about climate change, feminism, social justice & a certain green sheep. An entertaining & delightful hour.
Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2026 show no.2: @josielong.bsky.social in NOW IS THE TIME OF MONSTERS at Chinese Museum. Josie’s show is a wild ride featuring art, politics, parenting, travel and more. She is such a skilled comedian and it’s a pleasure to spend an hour in her company.
