Anti-populist, anti-fascist, political news junkie …throw in some cats, italian food, TV, graphic design…even though it feels like the left is being pecked to death by ducks, I believe humans are fundamentally kind, and I won’t give up on progress. Melb 🇦🇺

Found my copy of ‘Let’s Talk Strine by Afferbeck Lauder’ (Alastair Ardoch Morrison, illustrated by Al Terego) almost 60 years on…. Still a cracker😂

Big Morning! I love Christmas and all things Christmassy, but it goes by so quickly, for today I’m trying mindful celebrating and stretch it out as long as possible… because after today it’s April in two minutes.
It can be a bitter sweet, highly charged, emotional time, so take care & Buone Natale 🎄

Andrew Wallace on Radio National this morning…. Rabbiting on about a royal commission, saying that ‘even’ pre imminent law makers have written a letter in support… well I recall when they also wrote a letter saying to vote Yes on the referendum… their opinion was seen as poppycock back then.

#HatePreachers. Yes let’s go! There a lot of them on all sides… far right and far left… let’s see what the net catches 👏👏👏
Australia has a chance to put a stop to this… and truly make the nation come together, that includes no burqa stunts and no anti immigration, neo Nazi parades.

The gall of Pauline Hanson making out like she never sows division in this country! I can’t wait for the blame game to be over and focusses back on who was actually to blame… a father and son who planned this atrocious attack long ago guided by their radical religious extremism.

Why do people choose to be bloody idiots. What a horrible choice to wake up today and carry out this atrocious senseless act. All it does is bring about more hate and division. It needs to stop. A lot of heartache and grief… it will be hard to deal with. Unbelievable, Sad time, feel for them deeply😢

Soooo my car air conditioner was playing up just in time for summer… it had happened before when I first bought the car… no one could find the problem after regassing and all, until I found a Sicilian mechanic who checked the sensors. So I googled where the sensors are and you wouldn’t believe it…

Don't miss the Nazi dog whistle in the DHS ad. By putting a Zeppelin—a symbol leveraged by Joseph Goebbels for German strength—over the Statue of Liberty, they are clearly embracing Nazi imagery to recruit America's WORST as ICE agents.

Ooh now we are talking…guessing they’ll be the price of a small car… but hey it hasn’t stopped me so far, sucker 🤦♀️ must be awkward to use but… and hopefully not as heavy as the last few generations.

So Pauline Hanson went to Mar-a-Largo…That’s all any fair dinkum Aussie needs to know… she is not for Australian values but for Trumps. We resoundingly rejected Trumpism in the last election.
For her to reach 18% smells like Advance up to their manipulative ways again with misinformation campaigns.

Sometimes I’m like, I should hear them out, be aware of the hate in society and other times I’m like why, would never hang out with these people in real life. Not worth my time. Life is too short to get bothered by horrible people

Was telling my husband “forget the kids they should ban over 16s from social media instead”… would have made the world a better place… plus I need a break, it has me by the cahones. Feel like I’m living in a Wall-E world.
