Laws was a cunt in so many ways.
We had lunch at a table near him in the Hunter Valley 15 years or so ago. He was so rude to the (mainly female) staff even his guests were embarrassed. Revolting.
On 19 March 2013, Laws interviewed a female listener, who described a history of sexual abuse between the ages of six and sixteen. 33) Laws proceeded to ask the woman if the abuse was in some way her fault and whether she had been provocative. 34) The following day Laws said on air that women who dressed provocatively were once viewed as "rape bait". 35) In 2015, Laws referred to a male victim of child sexual assault as a "wet blanket" and told him to "brighten up".

@albomp.bsky.social is completely tone deaf. He could just say nothing.
The death of an utterly vile cunt of a human does not require a comment from the PM.
The Labor Party is a travesty.

Not a DA but this Pierre de Ronsard is my pride and joy. These photos are last year. Just starting to flower again now.

This seems very appropriate here.

Fuck the cup

Every year we say #NupToTheCup. The gambling industry is the only winner.
#NoToAnimalCruelty
Cartoon by Jubly-Umph says "fuck the cup!" The Melbourne Cup is a famous Australian horse race and a real triumph for the alcohol and gambling industries - who obviously need the money. My feelings are reserved for the animals who are cruelly treated in the name of 'sport'.

This is from a book called Its Ok That You're Not OK by Megan Devine. I wish I'd known about it when Jordan died. But I keep this quote close by me and share it when I can.
Cry all you want, whenever you want. And call on us...
Long text screenshot that I can't bear to type out coz I'm crying already. Basically it says that you ARE alone in your grief.

I’m sure people were tired of the plague. And of wars.
But just because you are fed up with something, it doesn’t go away.
Great writing.
Quote from article “health authorities have thrown their hands up and rescinded guidance that would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives and prolonged a pandemic that, to hear them tell it, has been bested. It hasn't. Worst of all, the financial motivation that we all know is driving this premature victory lap isn't even being fulfilled. Long COVID and other post-COVID complications are costing the global economy one trillion a year. Meanwhile, article after article handwrings about nobody wanting to work anymore, about the sagging college application scene, about declines in military enlistment, and the strain on our healthcare systems.”

Happy 24th anniversary to the least successful one night stand in history.

It’s so easy boys. Even easy to legislate…..
Biff is an all-American man who cares very much about babies. He's been wondering: As a man, how can I prevent abortion? Good news, Biff. Men can prevent 100% of abortions! You read that right-every single unwanted pregnancy is caused by men. See, Biff, babies are made when a penis ejaculates sperm into a vagina and the sperm travels past the cervix and fertilizes an egg. And that microscopic formation will one day be a baby that you can deprive of nutritious food, a clean environment, a well-funded education, health care, and a living wage. But that's only if the vagina-owner doesn't kill it first, for a selfish reason such as not wanting to die or not wanting to be reminded of you every day for the rest of her life. How it works: Don't ejaculate into a vagina! That's right: if you don't want to impregnate someone and leave it up to her whether she will carry the baby to term or get an abortion, just keep your penis out of there! Facts: • Your penis can ejaculate in lots of places-but you knew that already! • A woman does not need your penis in her vagina—or anywhere!-in order to be sexually gratified! A woman can have orgasms every day but never run the risk of pregnancy until you decide to irresponsibly orgasm! • You can find pleasure with your lady friend in lots of ways that don't involve you launching sperm into her vagina! Places you can ejaculate without fertilizing an egg: • Mouths* Hands (your own or a friend's*!) Butts* Artificial vaginas Boobs* Jell-O** "requires consent *may require consent, depending on ucho ownas the Jell-O Q: What about a real vagina? No, Biff. That is literally the only place you must not ejaculate if you want to prevent abortions. Again, do not ejaculate into a vagina if you are opposed to abortion. Q: What if I already ejaculated into a vagina? Sorry, now it's up to the person whose vagina you ejaculated into to decide whether to value her own life or priorities over gestating your seed. Next time, control your boner if you want …

I have a 45 min appt with the nurse at our medical centre tomorrow. I asked for the nurse to wear a mask - I always wear one.
This is the unsurprising response. I sent back 4 recent articles about Covid but I guess that will do nothing.
If healthcare won’t pay attention, who will?
#CovidIsNotOver
Hi Chris, Johanne the nurse you will be seeing tomorrow is not working today so I am unable to verify this with her. I am here tomorrow morning and can suggest to Johanne to wear a mask but because this is no longer mandatory I am unable to enforce this. You of course are more than welcome to wear a mask yourself and as I said I will definitely suggest it to Johanne in the morning. Regards Exeter Reception Team

Dental “treats” are pretty useless for teeth cleaning anyways. Just a marketing gimmick. But aside from that…….

what doesn't kill you gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms and a really dark sense of humour

Although it’s through a not very clean window, I am loving the juxtaposition of pink waratah and California poppy

Also the first Cecile Brunner (not Cecil!), a lilac blossom and some brilliant pink sea thrift.

FYI
This account - with 8 followers - is a terf apologist. I responded appropriately and then muted him.
Have a nice life Jeff (by which I mean have chronic thrush and concurrent burning diarrhoea)
Screenshot of Bluesky interaction between me and jeffistweeting on a thread about the Keira Knightley video. First post is mine “What sauce I want on my chips is an opinion, Keira. Trans people existing and having human rights is NOT an opinion. I feel ridiculously smug that I never liked KK or those stupid books. jeffistweeting.bsky.so. @jeffist. 2h I think the "we need to work together" was mostly about protecting women's spaces from predatory men dressed as women. If you want to die on that hill of inclusivity and lose way more than you gain, go for it. Dr Chris Jordan-Clark @chrisjorda... • 1h • she/her Point me to a predatory man dressed as a woman. The numbers are vanishingly small. It's a stupid argument. Predatory men don't NEED to dress as women to harass, rape and kill us. Interaction continued Post a woman. The numbers are vanishingly small. It's a stupid argument. Predatory men don't NEED to dress as women to harass, rape and kill us. They just do it dressed as themselves. I'm not losing anything. And 'gain' as you put it, is decency and humanity. jeffistweeting.bsky.soc... Follow @jeffistweeting.bsky.social You know what else is vanishingly small? The trans community. So go ahead and stake an entire campaign on 0.0001% of the world and keep wondering why you're losing the 99% with every absurd policy. I was honestly impressed when trans went after women's sports. Talk about flying too close to the Sun. I did reply with a meme that included the e word “cunt” twice. Then I muted Jeff.

Can recommend the pink ones too although the plant seems to be smaller and slower growing.
Pink Waratah flowers half open Pink Waratahs duly open and with California poppies for contrast
