Reading, listening, watching, overthinking - and any day now once again baking and gardening. A dreamer and a sillyheart. she/her

Inspired by my two recent trips to the cinema, and having some free online access, I'm going to rediscover my life as a movie lover. #FilmSky 📽

A thread of what I watch:
This is a lovely thing. Farewell, Jane. Garden well. #GardeningAustralia 🌱

Just found out these wonderful tshirts are designed by Jack Evans himself and now I want one even more. (Yes, Gen X: Behind The News is still very much a thing!)

Come for the fashion, stay for the dance moves. I always enjoyed this one.

Every list like this is a trap
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

Using the term silly billy has reminded me of this, that I liked early this year. Good alt text is forever.

A silly billy on Chateau DIY just said that a wedding is the only time in a person's life when they can have a magnificent floral display.

So I have a new idea for how to celebrate my 50th birthday in a couple of years...

Tired of seeing arguments for or against AI that ignore its environmental impact as if it isn't chewing up Earth's resources like a freakin langolier.

It just hasn't been a good week for journalism or poetry.

Good morning! I've just finished a week of two long-awaited performances (the first organised by me, the second involving a massed choir at the SOH) and today definitely feels like a fresh start.

Well that was fun! My favourites to sing were Apple Tree, It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) and Don't Dream It's Over - to a rapturous audience including my parents.
Good morning! Hmm... think I might perform at the Sydney Opera House tonight.

Mamdani controlled the narrative, controlled the optics, looked charming, comfortable and confident AF and somehow managed to get Trump to speak *his* language -- prices, affordability, building houses -- all while standing on business, denouncing genocide and calling a fascist.. a fascist. Amazing.

People were arguing in my mentions today about whether the Earth is "round" when it's technically an irregular oblate spheroid and look "round" doesn't mean "absolutely perfect sphere" it means round. A soccer ball is round, a cantaloupe is round, a fluffy borb in winter is round, just go with it.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

@danietreg.bsky.social I'm so excited to finally be starting on some serious jewellery organisation this weekend - followed by scarves, taking my cue from your system. I forget to wear what I can't see!
