I’m on the 3rd book of a series of, I’m told, ā€œlesbian fantasy novelsā€ (for the record: the Alpennia novels by Heather Rose Jones) and can say - as a straight white bloke - that the lesbian themes neither enthuse me nor irritate me. They’re just good, well-written, books.

This is so fkn stupid. It is nonsensical to suggest you can adhere to the Paris commitment while not having a target to reach it. The two positions don’t make sense under the Paris agreement or the legislation. Melissa Clarke was factual and correct. 2 things SAD finds impossible

Throw back to March when Cyclone Alfred hit SEQ and providers were making people do phone appointments while suspensions were in place. What's worse this time is that the government hasn't suspended MO's ahead of Cyclone Fina. theguardian.com/australia-news…

ā€œ..there’s lots and lots of money in media—in being a brand, an influencer, a personality. We stopped paying journalists and started rewarding performers.ā€ ā€œNew York MagazineĀ didn’t hire her despite her personality-driven, access-heavy approach—they hired her because of it.ā€

Bouncing off Sean Kelly excellent Quarterly Essay. Allowing an unelectable opposition to soak up media time & space means we are stuck with a dud agenda that makes real change even harder. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Amazing story of an editor fact-checking a young writer to find that she had completely made up sources and quotes in articles in some of the biggest news outlets in the world. One by one, those outlets took down her faked stories. The editor's exasperation with AI stands out

It's all just so stupid, isn't it? You may be feeling overwhelmed by the flurry of crises – and that's by design, writes Amy Remeikis. deepcutnews.com/p/its-all-just…

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 - for the first time since records began in 1982. This is what happens when a country commits to HPV vaccination and screening. We protect our girls and save lives.

Summer has arrived in Canberra 🄶 I’m about to ride my 🚲 off into this. At least I knew enough to bring suitable gear while visiting. If you can’t take a joke..

I met up with SRPasses it on this afternoon. I always enjoy that when we can make it happen. We discussed many things - which made us go: ā¤ļøšŸ¤”šŸ˜³šŸ˜±šŸ¤¬ As always! Sally also tested my new phone’s camera to see if it might work for her. It was close: but the camera survived:

I’m disappointed that Matt ā€˜sooty’ Canavan Senator Matt Canavan is not wearing his hi-viz and trademark ā€œLoretta Lynnā€ (aka Coal Miner’s Daughter) makeup on #abc730 I mean: what is even the *point* of ā€˜sooty’ if he’s not a cosplay coal miner? šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
