My replay this year is almost entirely my sleep music (as per usual) and the music I wrote my dissertation to. Will be interesting to see what it’s like next year!

Today is International Day of Disability. So, if you see any Australian politician saying ANYTHING about supporting people with disabilities today, call them on this bullshit.
EXCLUSIVE: Funding and support plans for national disability insurance scheme participants will be generated by a computer program and staff will have no discretion to amend them, under a major overhaul of the NDIS to be rolled out next year, @australia.theguardian.com can reveal.

1725: Why the fuck did I lose my left hand for the same wages I earned while being 10x more productive than last year? Who the fuck is benefiting here?
2025: Why am I losing my job to a machine that encourages kids to kill themselves and can't actually do my job? Who the fuck is benefiting here?

Sound UP! When a gang of young male Superb Lyrebirds surround you, often within less than a metre. I zoomed back to 80mm but often had to lean back to get this footage. I've left it largely unedited to capture the mayhem of the moment. #birds #birding #nature #lyrebirds

Israel has committed genocide. There is no more serious crime under international law. Culpability does not fade simply because there is now a ceasefire agreement, in the same way that a serial killer wouldn't be pardoned if they simply stop killing. There must be consequences.

Papa has spoken
Werner Herzog has slammed the use of AI in new cinematic releases, saying that films that make use of the technology “look completely dead.”
“There are stories, but they have no soul. They are empty and soulless.”
Amen to that!

So grateful to my past self for holding on to all my dvds because I’ve been in my new place for almost three months and I STILL DO NOT HAVE WI-FI! There’s a chance I may be closer due to the unhinged voicemail I left for the nbn guy’s but still. I had 16 box sets of simpsons and I finished them!!!!!

There’ve been many surprises while riding the waves of grief since Edie passed but vacuuming the living room rug just made me sob and laugh at what causes the waves to crash.

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

If this is my legacy (getting pensioners free money) then I am happy as fuck!
I was bullied into filling out the Power Saving Bonus form by @birdwarden.bsky.social so now I am bullying any other concession-card-havers in Victoria who might have let it slide: get your free money!! powersavingbonus5.energy.vic.gov.au

I miss her so much. It’s astounding how effortlessly she filled my life and how so many moments throughout the day are left feeling empty now she’s gone. New little reminders crushing me throughout every day since.

Anyone in the Darebin Parklands region got a spare few minutes and a pressure washer? Some area pests have graffitied The Nest with nazi shit (not sharing a photo), which someone else has valiantly tried to cover up. I'd say the position of Nest near the Healing Trail is intentional.
