The dissonance of Black Friday sales in Australia: an ad for Amazon's sales that's clearly been lifted straight from America, with weird, unfinished references to Thanksgiving and snow

I wanted to be a writer, so I went to an information session about doing a Masters of Creative Writing at my uni. There was a session on a Masters of Publishing that night as well, so I went to that and realised it was a potentially more stable career path!
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

If you think "everyone's a little bit Autistic", maybe ask yourself why you keep hanging out with Autistic people?

Girl dinner, when it's been awhile
I'm plating up in style tonight
Oh ease maker
You fast breaker
Whatever you're serving, I'll eat with delight

Two cheeses, olives & a pear
There's not a lot to spare, to eat
We're after the same carton's end
Dishing up at 10
My charcuterie friend
Girl dinner & me

Saw a tweet referring to MTG and immediately thought “Megan Thee Galleon” which is I guess a pirate themed Megan Thee Stallion drag act

If you live in a major city, you may have noticed more people wearing bandanas around their neck, as the accessory has made a small comeback. Typically made from cotton, the bandana — distinct from the ascot — has a long history in working class aesthetics, as it serves a practical function.

The result: a display inspired by our lush springtime Hallowe'en. It was a rushed effort in the end but something to build on next year. It's storming outside, incidentally.

I ❤️ meeting new people & having the fact that both my parents are 💀 come up & then they say "oh wow, that's a lot of trauma!" & then they look at me like how are you still walking around like a normal person?

Cause yeah, that's a lot of trauma! How am I still walking around like a normal person??

I hope planner organisers know that every time I look at a week-to-an-opening layout and you've given Saturday and Sunday half the space as the other days, I think "gross" and walk away.

What kind of hustle-and-grind productivity ghouls are you?

As I walked down the George St under the plane trees, chants around me interrupted by coughs, I realised urban planners had invented non-lethal anti-protest weapons before the police could

Flowers growing out of skulls. Cottagecore witches.
I'm already obsessed with this idea. If we did for Hallowe'en what we do for Christmas (seasonally adjust), what would that look like?
A sudden thought as I walk past a Hallowe'en display in autumnal colours: does anyone do/has anyone ever seen Hallowe'en done with full embrace of the fact it's late spring? I don't mean the kind that just sticks to pop cultural sorts of tropes.
