Great read
A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate
You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

We just opened the curtains for the first time today since the 'cool' change has come through. We're quite close to the CBD and there's ash on our balcony.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

your money. They deserve it.

The politicking that has happened since the Bondi massacre has been completely disgraceful, but kudos for whoever gave me this little moment of schadenfreude today.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I don't know anything about anything but I sure hope someone is checking that house expansion rubble for traces. Something ain't right there, even in these *gestures broadly* interesting times.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

We get a 'supermarket rejects' delivery box and while it's mostly to inspire us to eat more veg, there's the added bonus of TINY ADORABLE REJECTED AVOCADOS 😍

Movie afternoon! CONCLAVE followed by K-POP DEMON HUNTERS because we contain multitudes.

Conclave: the shot choices in this film are gorgeous. I had been spoiled for the pope but not the twist, and it's beautifully done.

K-pop Demon Hunters: ngl, it's the third time we've watched this 😂

So two weeks ago, I had keyhole surgery to find out what's up with my insides. The answer is officially endometriosis! *rapturous applause* my wonderful doc removed it so hopefully I won't feel like I'm getting punched from the inside anymore yaaaay!
