The cherry tree has decided it might be a cold and wet spring, but it IS spring and so it's going to be in blossom dammit!

Our cherry tree in blossom despite it being a cold and wet spring. Most of the blossoms are on the northern side of the tree which is sheltered from the winds by the house.

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record.

Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

Casting a bad, unpopular actor in the reboot that nobody asked for of a middling franchise isn't drawing the crowds. Well, I guess it's back to the drawing board

The exception being people who have worked out their life is about getting 100s of tattoos, and more power to them.

3 always seems like the number for people who have that quiet confidence in themselves - i.e. have a good idea about what their own life is meant to be about - and can sum that up in some tattoos without having to get 100 of them.

This show has been an enjoyable blend of nostalgia and the corporate true crime genre.

obsessed with the silhouette of St Paul’s

St Paul’s cathedral in London photographed during the day w/ a nice blue sky, the facade is prominent but the dome is very visible

a view across the Thames at night, bright buildings and the dome of St Pauls. The background is a murky grey instead of black on account of light and smog

a similar view but more rivery (taken from on a bridge) and at sunset, everything is pinkish

close shot of the dome rising above dark buildings at night

4/ I guess my point is, don't overthink this. Gestures of non-violent resistance work, whether grand or absurd, whether stuffed with symbolism or weirdly stochastic. The key is to display fearlessness in the face of threatened state violence, and to deny Trump the violence he so desperately craves.
