To all you seniors on fixed incomes who disproportionately voted for Trump thinking he’d protect your healthcare interests. I will not lie to you about your chances of surviving his negligent abandonment but, you have my sympathies.

Jess Wilson’s main policies 1) Punch down on Indigenous people 2) Boost support for a genocide 3) $8 Billion budget blackhole I seriously can’t tell the difference between Wilson and Hanson at this point. #springst

Why are Victorians convinced that they were badly governed during COVID ... and *still* hold a grudge against Labor for that? The data doesn't much support such a position: x.com/Gergyl/statu.... Everyone was still learning.

Finally drew a stupid comic I have been making in my head over the past week after seeing one too many 'bogan moth' comments on social media lol

Victorians - be very very careful who you vote for. Because after the election is too late. 🙏🙏❤️💙

"It is blatantly irresponsible for politicians like Jess Wilson to be linking legitimate and peaceful protest of Israel’s genocide in Gaza to the Bondi terror attack. We unequivocally condemn her mislabelling of peaceful protest as antisemitic." @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social statement. #springst

I can’t take a photo of me doing the float, but 10’ after this shot, I got into the Tuross River up to the right and ride the current down to Tuross Head off to the left. Passing over large stingrays and schools of small fish was fun. The serenity of nature is great.

Good morning 👋. Beautiful blue sky here this morning and another sunny day. I hope you have a quiet, stress free Sunday.

My (former) mother-in-law passed away a week ago and there are so many mixed feelings. She was such a force in my life for a couple of decades. The relationship between us completely ended with the divorce. Sadly, the divorce also ended contact between her and my kids. As I said - mixed feelings.

The Tesla Cybertruck failed Australian road safety standards and won't be sold here. Studies reveal their roofs crumple when drop bears fall on them from overhanging trees.

🧵Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand: A man (80s?) with a prodigious bushy moustache takes a bite from a cream donut and SQUISH. Cream covering his moustache and squootling up his nostrils. His wife howling with laughter.

For Helen Haines, and for her community. Helen reminds us of the importance of kindness and integrity - and of turning up to work for better #auspol
