Writer in Melbourne, Australia. Always looking for good food and strong coffee.
The health benefits of my new bicycle are offset by the rancid rubber offgassing.

Real men mask up. Protecting ourselves, our community's, the elderly, disabled and not getting a GD cold, flu, Covid or any other respiratory illness.

Plus, I'm literally standing in a pollen soaked warehouse and didn't sneeze.

I grew up in a mid sized city with such serious air pollution the federal government threatened to withhold all highway funding until a vehicle emissions program was instituted.

It worked.
Literally just lectured about this!

In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.
Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.

It is endlessly frustrating to me the political theatre that accomplishes NOTHING.
Great, the Epstein Files.

How many roads, bridges or ports did this legislation build? Is water & food safer? Does it provide healthcare, esp. to rural communities? Did it create jobs?
Etc, etc, etc, ad infinitum

Australia's heavily promoted 4.3% unemployment rate conceals escalating underemployment nearly matching the loss of full time jobs statistically.

It ignores the reality of the CPI (consumer prices) skyrocketing especially in energy, housing & groceries.

Three new collections by mid-career poets lay claim to stories of identity, suffering and hope, to a kind of collective subjectivity, to the inner life of a country in the throes of deep pain and uncertainty. n.pr/4864WeG
New poetry stresses that our stories are more precious and urgent than ever

Watching a TikTok channel completely dedicated to 1980's VHS dating videos.
It's hilarious.
And disturbing

Just watched Jeffrey (1995) on @kanopy.com It's a favourite. I'd love you chat up Paul Resnick but I just can't get near the X sesspool.
