Deeply disturbed by the The Australian today. The excellent journalist Paul Toohey has written a powerful piece on NT Crime. Here is how it appears on the app. Note the wild-eyed Aboriginal man…/1

Lex Marinos was a legend of ‘Kingswood Country’, a culturally significant series that captured Australia’s relationship with immigration in the 80’s perfectly. Known in the show as a ‘wog’, Lex was also a part of the ‘wogball’ family with legendary Greek-Australian football

Just about to introduce the Professional Historians community across Australia to the Hot Miners of Newnes. I think you need to see them too. nla.gov.au/nla.obj-160533…

I’m getting my floor insulation replaced. The guy is ex-Marine, grew up in Martha’s Vineyard, thinks America has left-wing media, Trump’s policies are best, doesn’t want him to go too far to the right because then there will be a communist backlash. Americans talk a lot.

On two occasions in recent weeks, I've been able to get a refund when a free trial has switched to the paid version without my noticing. I have told them I thought they would have prompted me to remind me. The first one was only to happy to help. The second fought (I won).

My cat shows extreme ingenuity in finding places to piss (like inside a closed plastic bag) and my kid won’t allow me to take the cat for a drive in the country and refuses to take him with him. I’m so over this cat.

By far the worst part of travelling by plane is the anxiety of having to get to the train AND travel 2.5 hours to the airport. The Blue Mountains is too far from anywhere to be good.

I am now at teh airport, finding other people to be extremely irritating. The guy behind me putting his phone on speaker and holding it up to his ear (so it's behind my ear) is one.

Travelling on Jetstar is such an unpleasant experience.

Basically all the bits between home and the destination suck.

Carly Findlay OAM (she/her) Bring back Sickness Allowance. There’s no reason not to do it. Low cost for the govt, positive vibes all ‘round.

Almost 57 000 Australians owe more than $100000 in HECS debts. The Morrison govt doubled the price of arts, business and law degrees - to over $50 000. Last week in Question Time I asked the Education Minister to reverse that change. I’ll keep asking. theage.com.au/national/the-n…

Last night I met up with about 20 friends I would not know without social media. We’ve navigated babies, marriages, divorces, deaths, jobs, many new essays and books, life, over two decades. These are real and strong relationships, made and sustained online across cities. Lucky!

A cancer diagnosis is often the time people discover the welfare system they always assumed would catch them if they fell is in fact a brutal algorithm.

The dumbing down of Tasmania continues apace. No funding for Wharf 6 endangers Hobart’s status as Gateway to Antarctic. Meanwhile increased funding for AFL Stadium to run at a deficit. Is this the most witless Tasmanian Government we have ever had? #politas

I have been awarded a 2024 RANZCOG - O&G Outstanding Contribution to Women’s Health Award. I have so much to say. But I'll just say this: in what can sometimes feels like a soul-destroying uphill battle, this is hugely energising and magical. Thank you. ranzcog.edu.au/news/2024-ranz…

I just had a fancy French meal and it was an inelegant sufficient and I don’t regret a thing.

Just wrote a stern email to my MP about how Scott's "Job Ready Graduates", which has made students pay $$$$$ for degrees that cost $ to teach, needs to be undone. It's the simplest thing. Labor MPs with BAs on $236k++ a year really should be ashamed of crippling a generation.
