These actual dictators killed more than 80 million people between them thru genocide, torture, war, execution & mass starvation of their people. When people in Melbourne throw around term “dictator” they embarrass themselves & remind me how privileged & lucky we are in Australia

Lit sparklers this time last week to celebrate the end of winter. We’ll have more to celebrate in a month or so Melbourne. Hang in there. #neverendinglockdown #butitwillendoneday instagram.com/p/CE1XnsrHKG8/…

IMPERECT JOURNAL • I’m trying something new. It’s not perfect, far from it, but I’m going to take the mantra that it’s better to start than wait for perfection. It’s inspired by two things. Firstly, by another… instagram.com/p/CE2fCoanFib/…

DAY 62 #melbournelockdown instagram.com/p/CE38LIKHSW_/…

A dictator is someone that rules their people with cruelty. Torture, starvation & war are their tools, they kill millions like Chairman Mao did (47M). Many are suffering right now in Melb & my heart goes out to you but thinking we live under a dictatorship insults those who do.

On #LoveYourBookshopDay props to The Little Bookroom who’ve made a huge difference to my kid’s mental health in lockdown, even involving her in a project mailing postcards for kids in inner Melb to send each other. Fun, empowering, positive. Not just selling books. Supporting kids.

This is great. We can, and should, enjoy the outdoors. Safely. Well done.

We spent lockdown pivoting our business when Girl Geek Academy ™️ 🌈 could no longer trade face-to-face. Our hypothesis was: the key to girls staying in tech is FRIENDSHIP! So we built forums to connect girls with each other. Thanks Wendy Tuohy The Age for sharing! theage.com.au/national/victo…

S E V E N Y E A R S ❤️ May or may not have completely forgotten until my aunty texted us this morning. But hey, Covid. I found a real goodie. 🙏🥰 @pauljmiles @ Pioneer Women's Memorial Gardens Weddings instagram.com/p/CGPdhwWH2k-/…

Hooray! Can't wait to share this milestone birthday with the glorious @wordsnnerds_pod. Stay tuned for details.

My mum, SEVENTY today. Those who know our family will know how remarkable this is. Loving, fun, wise and as beautiful as ever. I’m the luckiest daughter on the planet. Xx instagram.com/p/CGuZ1U8HcJu/…

Happy birthday @wordsnnerds_pod Look forward to joining you tonight!

I’m proud & grateful (& a hot mess of emotions) knowing we’ve limped through lockdown & can finally reopen & rebuild - Roof Carrier Systems, Camberwell. There are many small businesses worse off. Let’s all rally around our locals. 🙏 #familybusiness #shoplocal #melbourneiloveyou

I hope every politician is watching Michael Gudinski’s memorial, to see how much Australian music means to the world and how important it is to the fabric of our country. Coming out of Covid, it needs government support more than ever #michaelgudinski

If you’ve had an awful day, I highly recommend slow dancing with a five year old in the kitchen to Powderfinger Burn Your Name. Thanks boys, you saved me last night. 🥰🙏👩‍👦🙏🥰 #melbournelockdown4 #melbourneiloveyou

Once again @officialblueytv, you have magically played the exact episode our family needed tonight. I was fine all day, but lockdown extensions & the news out of Afghanistan had me a teary mess by dinner. I did the checklist. It helped. Thank you #Bluey. The show must go on.

From a grateful Melburnian, THANK YOU Sharnelle Vella! You truly helped me through Covid this year. Can’t wait to watch you tackle whatever our country throws at us next, with sincerity, humour, optimism and FACTS! I’ll be like “I knew her waaaay back!” 😉🙏

“B-b-but the George lady wasn’t smiling nicely at the Prime Minister! It’s so disrespectful!” “Siri, please show me disrespectful.” #ausp

Thanks for having us Ivanhoe Girls. 📚🥰📚

Not often Elton John, Robbie Williams, Chris Martin and Ed Sheerin get upstaged, but those Warne kids….my goodness
