Proud of the garden I created from nothing 6-8yrs ago.
Been 100% neglected (no watering, pruning etc) for 3+ yrs. If you plant drought tolerant, location suited flora, you don’t need large amounts of work once established. All desperately need a prune/tidy up… soon hopefully💜😊

Moving Tip: 348
Sort & declutter (S&D) twice
1. Mid-level S&D every room into piles of items by type.
*Accept your home will look shit for a while.
2. Bring all items of one type together from each room, then high-level S&D i.e. I'd stationary in near every room.
So. Many. Pens.🤷🏻♀️🤣

New Australian hate-speech laws were rushed through so quickly that legal experts are still analysing them, trying to understand intended and unintended uses and consequences.

Palantir’s approach to privacy & transparency is terrible. The company specialises in creating detailed profiles of people by combining large databases about us.
The weasels gov must take steps to prioritise our human rights, privacy, over Palantir’s dystopian surveillance profiteering.

Sen. David Shoebridge:
Palantir, the far-right US data corporation, has just been given security clearance with access to secret Australian govt data.
They're enabling ICE surveillance and helping target the genocide in Gaza.
It's time ban them from govt contracts and all our data.

My fave lists are 'Auspol losers' and 'propaganda and political spam'. I feel like this gives a good indication of things.
