Quirky Queer circa 70’s before it was cool. I’m drawn to the messiness of politics, the poetry of music and the power of refusing to neatly into any box.

The grifting cooker version. Coming soon to a dictatorship near you.
Hasbro is updating Monopoly by eliminating the luxury tax, charging astronomical rents, and waiving jail time for rich people.

If anyone gets a chance to hear Lzzy Hale sing live then please do. This song is good but her vocal range has these days matured into chefs kiss. #halestorm

@sarahschwartz.bsky.social on ABC talking about our ad featuring Jews calling to sanction Israel NOW for the genocide in Gaza.

The ad comes as the UN has released an authoritative report stating that Israel is committing a genocide.

We need this message to be heard by ALL Australians.

I hope they find the self-proclaimed Sovereign citizen murderer ‘Freeman’ soon. It must be agony for loved ones and the police service. I think sovereign citizens are a fringe mental illness mixed with a cult. Dangerous. #Australia

Sesame Street will be putting a huge collection of episodes on YouTube starting in January 2026

This is a fantastic way to educate children

It’s a form of resistance.

Shows like Sesame Street teach love, tolerance, acceptance & more.

These lessons are crucial for the long fight ahead.

What these protesters want is The white Australia policy reinstated. They are Australia’s MAGA. Fucking fools. Diversity is strength. #Auspol
#AusPol The cooker march was today and here is Mad Katter marching with white supremacists. If those runes look familiar the NZ mosque shooter/killer was adorned with them. I don’t know what they mean but it can’t be good. #Racist

I’m loving Dr Ann Jones she is such a treasure. One of Australia’s favourite nature nerds. Sometimes silly, sometimes a lil’ bit naughty but always entertaining and informative. Check out her podcast ‘What the duck’ and tv show ‘Secret Lives’ on the ABC #nature #spotlight

Each tragedy is a Republican Party sanctioned act.
There is only one political party responsible for gun violence in America.

The political party that has done nothing to solve it.

The political party that has blocked any efforts to solve it.

The Republican Party.

Does anyone else get the sense Israel is gearing up to attack Iran? 😕 I really hope not. Global instability in the Middle East, on top of Trump-driven inflation, could be a brutal mix for all of us. Even us in Australia.

My boy Hamish Fergus. He passed last year but gave us 15 wonderful years and all his heart. I still think of him daily. He was a very good boy. 😊 #Throwback 🐕 ❤️

These ‘Australia First’ protests on the 31st are frightening. They’re xenophobic and dangerous. The last thing we need is Trump-style supporters gaining traction in our politics or media. Kindness and compassion are far better goals than clinging to a 1950s white Australia fantasy. #Auspol

It’s poetic that a giant flock of seagulls have congregated and are 💩all over Parliament House. Could be a sign to do some meaningful action on climate change. #Auspol
