Mother, grandmother, I have a dog and 2 cats who rule the roost. Wishing the qualifying age for Age Pension for women was still 60. I hate mutual obligations but love the supportive people where I volunteer.
Absolutely no DMs please.

I’ve just finished reading Pheasants Nest by Louise Milligan. I had lost my love of reading in recent years, but I found it hard to put it down. Thanks Louise.

Why does the Church still want to do conversion therapy on gay people but it's never considered conversion therapy for misogynistic straight men who abuse women or men (and some women) who sexually assault children? 🤔 #Christianity #CatholicChurch

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content.

That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

Since I've been in Parliament, I have rarely seen the two parties cooperate on anything. Then along comes the Electoral Reform Bill. Now they suddenly agree. Part 1.
