Now here is somebody the world really should mourn

Here is a woman deserving of all the accolades and all the glory and all the stars we have in our heavens

One of the brightest, most compassionate, beautiful humans to ever walk our planet

May you fly high O Captain, O glorious Captain

Thanks for the email, Çentrelink. Seems like your emails are coming from an office in Paris now, but I’m confident it’s not a scam because of the big green ‘VERIFIED’ stamp.

My dog ate something nasty, and there was malodorous Linda Reynolds all over the backyard.

Tedoo is the new Amway.

Part way through reading an interesting post, bang! There it is.

Thanks #autoappendectomycommunity!”

If you’re mourning Meanjin, perhaps you could have a look at this tendril of a literary journal that has been started by some young people I know. www.varnishlit.com

I’ve had a real Linda Reynolds of a week, so TGIF.

The little Meanjin collection that I helped bring into the world as editor. Just a fragment of its 85-year catalogue. What an act of bone-stupid arrogance to kill it.

I've seen ABC refer to the Nazi rallies as "anti mass immigration rallies" over and over, exactly what Nazis want labelled as, legitimising them.

In contrast, not once have I heard the Palestine rallies called anti-genocide or anti-colonial. I wonder what that's about 🙄

I will do my very best to make Linda Reynolds’ name an insult of the worst kind.
When vets empty impacted anal glands, they will say “Ugh. That was a real Linda Reynolds.”

“You defamed me! I’m not THAT type of rapist.”
So he’ll lose this and isn’t he facing a rape charge in Toowoomba and car theft in Tasmania? - these appearances are little more than reminders he is probably the most hated man in Australia …

As you contact the Australian Special Envoy for Combatting Antisemitism to express your concerns about the manner in which they're using your taxpayer funds, this statement from the Jewish Council might be useful

The opening paragraph in Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal's Foreward ignores 65,000+ years of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander presence in Australia. Expunging a people's presence on the land, their culture and history? Deeply disturbing. #auspol #NAIDOC

Well, @qantas-official.bsky.social, I haven’t had official confirmation that my FF account was hacked, but the flood of emails urging action on overdue tolls, wayward Auspost parcels and bank account logins appears to confirm that it was. It seems the hackers are willing to pay their staff overtime

If you have Facebook, Insta or Twitter, witches, read our latest post about the creep in the pic.

He’s an OBSTETRICIAN AND GYNAECOLOGIST, and he wrote this letter to Victorian MP Melissa Horne.

WHAT A FUCKING ARSE.

And they wonder why we’re trying to stop #VileKyle???

We always hear that farmers will be smashed by the super tax changes.

But last year ASFA noted that "The reality is quite different"
"nothing to do with primary production or the only connection is owning a boutique winery that is run at a tax loss." 😬
