Aussie from Queensland who hates some things but admires much.
Appreciates tech, Tesla _cars_, space tech, cats and Canadians.
Disrespects fascists (looking at you Elon) and their arse kissers.
Can’t believe USA has so many Trump-approving fuckwits.

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

I do kitchen work, assisting chefs. There was a function on. I sent out a load of dinners with chocolate sauce on instead of gravy. I hid for 10 minutes. There was murder. I never did own up.
