It’s a strange thing. I can dismiss most of the utter stuff I have that I live with all the time. But cancer? It’s different, unseen.

It’s awful wondering when. But you know what, two friends have died, just in the past few months. I never thought I would outlive them as they didn’t have cancer.

It will but I’m surprised at the anxiety.

How the feck did that grifter get that job!!?? He was more than useless as our Bega MP, but somehow qualifies to run a Council. FFS!

Let’s see what the Office of Local Givernment review says. I believe the selection process was unethical and had a pre determined outcome, It appears the selection panel was such as to select a liberal mate. And I’m not on my own in thinking this.

Wasn’t trying to. Just an opinion. My opinion.

Aha! I guess if they’re counting them all the same it really doesn’t matter.

3 or more deaths. Like the shooting of police in Queensland by those sovereign citizens a couple of years ago.

That is a truly glorious colour. Wish we could grow them here. But alas too wet for my inept skills and care.

Yeah. That’s true, Like ensuring the little people get hit with tax debt notices while overseas companies pay no tax here at all despite their mammoth profits.

Jim Chalmers calls out the “hopefully divided” Liberal Party following leaks from their party room including “Fmr shadow ministers writing letters about leaking, & then leaking them”🔥, condemns the LNP’s “unedifying spats…between the far right & the further right”💥 #QT

Tell me how that helps to address the country’s many challenges. Do your real job, Labor, and stop the performative nonsense.

Two. Have to be careful with that one, but with the deliberately or carelessly lit fires around here this last week and so many of them… if the cap fits let them wear it.

We don’t know how they defined it do we?

I know the feeling. My son had Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2000, and has been cancer free since his treatment. But still, one is always on the lookout for any return of it, or a blood cancer which can follow later. But, he's free now ... hopefully.

You know the saying: “Reality has a left-wing bias”. It would take more effort to steer any kind of intelligence, real or artificial, in the opposite direction.

You know it’s people like you that every project needs. Those who are able to ask the what if questions. The not so concrete thinkers. A very important ‘smart’ we need more of.

Roseanne Byrne @roseannebyrne.bsky.social · 8h

Thank you so much. I’m not expecting anything this soon. Or hopefully ever. But it just places it all at the forefront when I’d worked hard to remove it from there and fill that space with other things. I never understood the anxiety until I got it.

Me too probably. Unconscious bias of course.
