Today on a plate: 1. Slept in until 7am 2. Washing on; coffee up; mindless scrolling 3. Folded washing x2; pegged out washing x1 4. Showered 5. More coffee; tidied up 6. Collected library book 7. Mum's: fixed email glitch (again); futile search for fin info for Dads estate; unsubscribed Mum 1/2

I'm tanked today, have done the bare minimum, need to replenish my spoons 🥄🥄 So many BIG decisions and tricky stuff to do, but my brain is "not today" 🤷‍♀️

Mr. 21 comes to me tonight and asks why the world is so divided. I answered. Entitlement, greed, misinformation, lack of education and a combination of all four, resulting in a complete inability to discern. We could have a great world and society. Could....

How ironic I am literally compiling my own letter to S/T & CW Mins about our lived experience, which mirrors this. My sister & I are frayed, grieving, guilt ridden. It's an absolute clusterfuck 😩😢 #Auspol 'Care system' is an oxymoron 💔

This is a gigantic policy boil that at some point is going to explode. A lot of Labor people are affected & talking about it. 👇 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... @juliannes.bsky.social

It's honestly so crazy to me that we're facing a technological revolution that could displace millions of jobs in the middle of a housing affordability crisis and every day we talk about whether a trans woman is playing sports or if someone has a non-Anglo name.

The sports stars, both former drug addicts and convicted criminals, are now on a press tour spruiking a program described as “repaying the debt” to society. Ette can reveal the organisation is charging more than $10K for a half-day session. A detail every media outlet left out. tinyurl.com/22zzvy2t

Today I learned that baby cranes are called "colts" because their legs are so long and they can run around like idiots shortly after hatching. This is delightful, I enjoy knowing this.

My #dayonaplate 1. Insomnia ➡️ ABC radio Overnights; 🙏 Macca on leave when it switched over at 6am 2. House guest (2 nights) departed ➡️ strip bed 3. Cake order fuck up ➡️ purchase GF consolation macaroons 4. Nice lunch out with fam celebrating R's bday ➡️ ate salmon poke bowl, yum! 1/

Critical thinking is shrinking - take off the blinkers: "Babies’ deaths could have been prevented with a long-standard vitamin K shot.... fueled by a contradictory pairing: families’ fierce desire to protect their babies and a cascade of false information infused into their social media algorithms."

if you think something being "natural" or "plant-based" makes it healthy and something being made in a lab and loaded into a syringe is inherently dangerous, you're an idiot. you should lose access to your kids if you harm them due to this belief www.propublica.org/article/more...

Maybe the #AFL should introduce a penalty for unsporty/vile crowd behaviour. #Adelaide crowd booing Quaynor because he was the RECIPIENT of a homophobic slur by YOUR player? 😳 WTAF is wrong with people? 😞 #GoPies
