Free speech is a bastion...if you're in the inner circle of a fascist criminal.

I live in a rooftop tent up in the hinterlands west of the Sunshine Coast. It gets cold for this tropical boy, so I rarely leave my tent unless I have to. Why? It's 16C outside and 22C in my tent. I weigh 60kg wet and have no insulation. My fingers and toes go numb below 20C.

Random photos from a bit of a back track hinterland drive I took last week.

Stupid weather is stupid grrrr bbrrr

My opinion. Israel is attempting genocide. Donald Trump is a paedophile. That is all.

Removed a big python from my friend's place a few days back. www.youtube.com/shorts/pxLf3...

My ISS passing overhead app notification popped up in my phone a minute ago. It's 1pm, but my dog looked up at the sky. Stupid dog.

Found this beautiful little creature a few days ago. It's a Brown Tree Snake, around 12 months old. Way too cute.

Bear likes his softish bones. This is a whole lamb pelvis. He'll chew that all up. It helps to keep his teeth clean and his gums tough. I leave a bowl of kibble out, but would prefer to feed him a mix of offcuts, chook frames, and mixed veg. But the offcuts and kibble have to do for now.

Bear sits on the chair out here every day. So I don't kick him off. When I go outside to sit with him, I sit on the stepladder.

Brain sucker is starving. Nah, Bear is a clever boy.

I just spent three hours doomscrolling YouTube shorts because my Premium subscription expired, and I HATE ads. It's easy to scroll past an ad in the shorts feed... I think I also discovered why doomscrolling through shorts on any social media platform is so prevalent.

I just spent five minutes looking for my phone while talking to someone on my phone...

Lancing my thumb, because I can. I cut it and squeezed out the ginger. Trying to keep it clean, but I'm doing essential work on the car. I do cover it when I'm working tho.

I departed Twitter due to the extreme right-wing views being flooded across the platform. Sadly, #Bluesky is fast becoming the platform for extreme left-wing views. Is there somewhere in the social media webiverse where we can just post random photos and talk rubbish, but not political rubbish?

So... somehow, a Christian anti-trans channel's short ended up on my YouTube feed. I had to make a comment after reading all the 'Jeebuz saved us!' comments. I wrote: "I, too, was transsexual until Jesus entered me. It was then that I truly knew I was a man. It was a painful realisation..."

On this day in 1779, native Hawaiians killed the absolute fuck out of douchebag English explorer James Cook and four English marines. Read more about this riveting death: www.facebook.com/Liberty1765O...

More relevant than ever

And the dark thoughts invade. Staring at one of my sharp tools, thinking, "I could just jam it in my neck, and all the bullshit would go away." I'd just drift off. Then I think, "Jesus mate, there'll be blood all over the place, and it'll be a pain in the arse for someone to clean up."

@4zzzradio.bsky.social I've been rocking the ZZ merch a bit. Gotta support community radio.

Rocking the 4ZZZ merch. The Murri Time t shirt and the Zed pins on the hat.

Obligatory once a year selfie. And just for the record, with respect to my hair, grass doesn't grow on a busy street.

Yes. It runs. It's my workhorse.

I had planned to make a sunbed/deck/moonbed on my ute. I finally did it.

A little magic cabin.

Did I show you the Wolf Moon. No filter, just atmospheric dust methinks.

It's my Bear on a Chair.

Nice moon this evening.

I got a bit eager and started nailing caps to my stick. Then I realised I hadn't finished sanding, or sealing the thing with linseed oil. Just started that now.

Finally started on finishing my lagerphone. Using Red Coopers labels, because all I drink is Coopers Sparkling Ale.

Bear. Today. Two years ago. And the day he was born. He's three now.

I found this jumping spider with white whiskers. No idea what species it is, but it's about 6mm long. Sorry about the blurry macro.

I promise I'm not being political. I just love The Onion. Jealous Trump Throws Own State Funeral To Upstage Carter’s — theonion.com/jealous-trum...

Big cicada

Have a Mango!

Righto then. I was invited to Bluesky by @xnailbunnyx.bsky.social maybe nearly 2 years ago? Anyway, I was entering a stage of phukk social media. But lately I've heard Bluesky is exploding and politics are making an entry. I'm back to post anything non political! Random friendly nutjob stuff...

Cicadas and iridescent Christmas beetles are flying into my tent home. Way cool.
