54 years and my life is still, trying to get up that great big hill of hope. If you ain’t woke, then you must be asleep.

Work 11 hours a day. Pay a fortune in rent. Get gouged at the supermarket. Hand over more of your wages to privatised corporations. And somehow, you're told that migrants and trans people are the problem.

‘Trump says [insert practically anything here], despite evidence to the contrary’ should be the title of almost any article written about him!

can think of at least 50 artists who, if you gave them each even like 100 thousand dollars, it would absolutely change the culture we live in for the better. 5 million is pocket change in the scheme of things. but we have to live in a world where all of that capital is wasted on bullshit like this.

Clint Eastwood stood behind us in the queue to go to the movies in Monterey California. We were undecided about what movie to go see, and we were so intimidated seeing him that we ended up picking ‘A Perfect World’ because he was in it.

Ok Bluesky, what are your most low key celebrity interactions? I once shared a lift with Tim Finn and put drinks in Bryan Brown and Rachel Ward’s fridge. My husband sold cheese to John Cleese and my mum delivered groceries to Gough Whitlam. Go!!
