A walking disaster movie. Gen X vintage. Born poor redneck but with a Queer progressive soul. Cats, coffee, true crime, books, tv & movies were my friends growing up, and still are. Be kind, be good, be humble. 🇦🇺🏳️‍🌈

The Queen had a clear favourite in Prince Andrew. The more we learn it begs the question why? Perhaps the rumours of Porchie being the bio dad might be true. 🤷‍♂️ either way I hope he spends the rest of his life having his entitlement erased and sweating bullets. Randy Andy Karma suits ya. #royal #UK

And now look what that motherfucker has done to it. He’s a disgrace, and this shit has to end. Our country is a dumpster fire right now, and he’s laughing at us all.
Amazing. A truly great breakthrough.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

America! Your expats and your friends are *always* with you! Sending you love and courage and #NoKings solidarity and frog costumes from Melbourne, Australia. Make fascism history again!
I believe Barnaby Joyce is grifter with a drinking issue. He may be younger than Pauline Hanson but his liver must be twice her age. So he may not be the ideal succession plan they think. Karma suits them both. #AusPol
Australia this is not ok, do better. This mural should NOT have been removed because an officer complained.
This mural is clearly about inclusivity and celebrating our hard fought equality. It is not even remotely offensive. Removing it is offensive and a giant leap backwards.

Well, I’ve just done my first block on #Bluesky. Let’s just say… you can probably guess who. Some people evolve. Others… rebrand badly. #WhiteHouse #Maga

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.
#top100books Such a great idea. I’m loving the program so far. AND I have some titles to add to my TBR :-) Thanks everyone involved and our ABC x Good luck to all that voted. 📚📖🤓

Grifters gonna grift — and Trump’s one of the biggest. He’s also petty, narcissistic, and not exactly bright. If a man can bankrupt a casino, there’s always a chance he’ll cook his golden goose too.
If you haven’t voted a failure to vote notice is sent. You can provide a valid reason there or pay a small fine. If you ignore that it gets escalated and penalties increase.

American friends take note. Australia’s avoided the far-right freefall we’re watching in the US. One quiet reason: compulsory voting. When everyone has to show up, the extremes don’t get to run the show. It’s the secret sauce in the democracy sausage.

Happy Humpday! Coffee tastes extra good because it’s always a good day when both Alex Jones and “Dr.” Phil both face turbulence in the grift economy. Hope the setbacks turn into complete downfalls. #karmasuitsya
Reading that cretin Alex Jones was put on blast by the conservative Supreme Court and "Dr. Phil" has had to declare bankruptcy on the same day? What an embarrassment of riches! Only one other breaking news story about another odious man would make things better.

It’s a rare moment of quiet but it’s fragile and temporary.
“This ceasefire, like those of the past, is a commercial break. A moment when the condemned man is allowed to smoke a cigarette before being gunned down in a fusillade of bullets.”
