How in the fuck do we live in a place where John Laws insisted female staff wore skirts & had bare legs yet our own PM @AlboMP this morning still called him a “legend” who was an “authentic voice of Australians” and who “built Australia up just as you guys [Kyle and Jackie] do”???

Food security is fundamentally important, families must be so stressed. Shameful to withhold SNAP benefits
How sad is it that the richest country on Earth has a government that has to be forced to feed families with hungry children?

SNAP benefits shouldn’t be a courtroom battle. People shouldn’t have to beg for basic humanity. But here we are.

Quite cathartic leaving the app formally known as Twitter 😑 any value it once had has been destroyed by Elon Musk. Thought there might be value in being la resistance, but now think it’s like giving attention to a toddler having a tantrum.. relief, good boundary to set #mentalhealthmatters

Expanding LNG will increase prices and pollution. Proponents flog the stale idea that fossil gas can replace coal to generate electricity, but that no longer holds up when renewables are a far cheaper option. davidsuzuki.org/story/expand...

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Ahem

Today my debut novel #Gunnawah officially became the Number 1 best seller

That means I'll get a private jet, and a 10 year supply of Grey Goose and Tim Tams, and a marching team of cartwheeling dachshunds and . . . . .

(I'll just get a red sticker on the front cover 😎)
