Had a not-so-fun xmas. Me suffering from food poisoning, my Mum going down with a nasty UTI, my dad getting an infection and that being the final straw to committing him to a full time care.

Maybe parliament should be forced to sit in regional centres during heatwaves. Then the prick lobbyists that have captured our government would at least get some taste of their efforts.
I’ve been in north-west Victoria reporting on the heatwave, but this one is a bit more personal

Smothering, bullying, stabbing: how it feels to be in one of the hottest places on Earth
Everything felt like it was swelling, and despite my diligent consumption of water and Hydralyte, I couldn’t quite escape the persistent, low-level nausea. Even thinking took longer

More authoritarianism and intimidation. This is not about 2020. That’s the smokescreen. This is about the midterms and 2028. There will be a lot more of this in the coming months.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this.

Anyone else finding it extremely difficult to focus on anything right now? Anxiety through the roof. I can’t do simple tasks, reply to emails, auditions, shower, watch a movie, play a game.
I can’t move. Bouncing between anger and despair hourly, it really does feel like evil is winning everywhere.

This really sucks. I bloody *adore* mass market paperbacks. I’ll go out of my way to buy these instead of trade paperbacks.
Yeah, I like handsome hardbacks. Of course. But an old pulp paperback that fits into my pocket and costs bugger all? Bliss.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

At the Neko Case concert we were asked to put our phones away prior to the performance, so this is literally the only picture I have of the evening.
Lovely concert, BTW.

When Trump insists something is great, know it’s shit.
When he attacks his adversaries for wrongdoing, know he is guilty of doing what he is accusing others of doing.
And no, he will never accept blame or admit mistakes.
Accusations are confessions.
