THIS IS THE BEEEESSSTTT!!! It's like getting to see everyone's fridge art (my personal favourite kind of art)! And wanting to show everyone my fridge art.
Doing tactile things has been helping my anxiety, and my genius sister-in-law made an app that prompts a daily doodle and I'm LOVING it. She just put out the beta.
Main rule: NO AI.
I'm 2/skwurlhat on there. Come draw with us. It's so nice.

The northeast heat front has just missed us and the winds have gone south westerly. I hope this means an early cool change for the rest of SA

As a former Director of Adelaide Writers' Week I am appalled that the Adelaide Festival Board has rescinded Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's invitation to the 2026 AWW, explicitly linking its decision to the shattering crimes in Bondi.
A shocking decision that will and should have far-reaching consequences.

who says we can't have nice things? I ask for coot feet, someone delivers me coot feet, and now we all have COOT FEET. My day is now 4,000 percent better.
I completely agree. Coot feet are quite the - um - 'feat' of evolution! Neither webbed nor not. Feedback noted regarding future Coot pictures 🫡

I love this stupid bridge. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...
Historic Murray River bridge future uncertain as it nears its centenary
South Australia's only vertical-lift bridge has been unable to rise for more than a week due to a mechanical malfunction, affecting holiday-makers and locals alike.

What’s the heat health plan for exploited workers? Who is checking their working standards?
“Over 30,000 people from nine Pacific Island nations and Timor Leste work in Australia under the [PALM] scheme . . . All are vulnerable to the whims of employers, landlords, and government."

I'm running a reverse cycle aircon in my off grid property for the first time ever. What do people do when heat stress & power bills no longer loom over your head? Is there a short course for this?

What in the ever loving fuck do you mean you can't tell me if a scan will be bulk billed until the day because I have to take a poverty pop quiz the morning of my appointment to see if Medicare will cover it. If it doesn't, $150.

There may be snow on the ground but today we are closer to the sun than any other day! Here in the northern hemisphere it may be cold and dark, but remember, light and warmth are always closer than they appear
At 5.15pm GMT today, the Earth will be at perihelion, the closest point to the Sun in our annual round.
This should be the start of the year. Happy new orbit, everyone!
