Yes, we should all stop talking about Epstein. You, know Jeffrey Epstein - and so you know exactly who I am talking about here is a photo (Getty Images). Epstein is the one standing on the RHS of Melania Trump (and she is standing to the RHS of Donald). So you know who not to talk about

Um ... if we have Aboriginal kids afraid to go to school in Melbourne after the violence yesterday, I'm wondering where Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Racism is right now 🤔

I'm being kicked out of my rental to make way for the landlord's kid to move in. I know it's for real because he's finally getting around to doing all the jobs that he should have done at the beginning of my tenancy. Substandard accommodation is all cool & normal for someone who isn't "us & ours" 1

I was looking forward to a quiet spell at home between inspections but, no, my landlord is now banging around in the shed which is separated from my dwelling by a single sheet of gyprock. I can hear him talking to his mother 1/2

Is there any particular reason that applying for a private rental has to be such an invasive, soul-destroying exercise? When did society decide that not owning one's own home was a punishable offence?

1. A common mistake is to look for ideological consistency on the far right, and to become confused when some of the things it claims to stand for sound positive and even progressive. Here’s a thread on how to understand this. 🧵

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

I finished knitting Porcella's new cotton/silk tube and she seems very pleased with herself. Tomorrow she, her friends and I will be going for a drive as the landlord is planning to operate a chainsaw directly outside my kitchen door 1/2

I've started writing a story with two guinea pigs as its central characters; they move from a dystopic hellscape to somewhere approaching a utopia. Today I realised that it could be read as an allegory for people deleting their X accounts and moving to Bluesky

I borrowed a thermal imaging camera from the library but the app doesn't recognise when I have it connected to the phone. I had hoped to demonstrate the many problems with the dwelling that I rent; as soon as I think that my questions about this substandard shack will be answered - nothing
