is location in bluesky yet? if not: Burramattagal land, Australia
And polls have closed across Australia, with Western Australia just closing their booths now (don't judge me for taking a picture of a computer screen, ABC iView doesn't allow for screenshots and I need the subtitles on at least one stream)

I would've spent more at the cake stall on lolly bags & taken more picture of the sausage sizzle advertising, but my mum wanted to take Astro directly home, so oh well, have a dog just about to get up from his nap because he's noticed that a phone camera is pointed at his face & that means attention

I say "we" because I managed to drop one of the little sausages as I was walking uphill after the gauntlet of campaigners and my dog Astro got to eat it, so he did manage to get one after all even with all that whining and significant looks that he did #auspol #AusVotes2025 #DogsAtThePolls

Very glad that I checked with my local councillor when I saw her outside the polling place today that she wasn't affiliated with or endorsing one of the independents who'd also used the words "Community Champion" on her campaign website. #auspol #AusVotes2025

I've attached the NPS's photo here, for a point of comparison.
The alt text of _this_ photo ⬇️ goes into way too much detail about my interpretation of the intended imagined position of the viewer of the NPS's photo, TL;DR we are slightly to Lincoln's right

I think a screenshot might be better? Even if we leave out the part where tweets can be disconnected from a quote skeet, they'd probably delete that post if they did decide to repeal "don't be evil [with AI]" like Google did.
