I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Some people are out there getting marriaged and having kids in their 30s, and others of us are spending hours watching edits of Kpop content.

Love the audacity of my landlord to raise my rent more than $200 in 2 years.

I spent such an amazing weekend in Brisbane for #GenreCon, with some of the loveliest, smartest and most inspiring writers I've ever met. Not to be genuine in main but I love this community. You make me believe that all my dreams are achievable.

Successfully made a gamble at ordering nachos 15 minutes before my flight boarded and was able to take the rest with me on the plane. You don't always win at Airport roulette but when you do victory is sweet.

Conservatives thought that if they made childcare more difficult for moms, women would stay home and not work. Instead, women decided not to have children.

Adventures in writing: sometimes when you spend 3 months trying to edit and rewrite a chapter, the simplest solution is to just delete it.

I'm being bullied into watching MAFS. Definitely not something about corporate culture they tell you at school.

Left the easy breezy streets of Adelaide to land in Sydney and be immediately jam-packed into a metro train with the cricket crowd. No greater reminder of the difference between my two homes.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

Folks trying to act cool and aloof about the TikTok ban sound genuinely idiotic. If you don’t get why it’s a devastating and dangerous precedent, that says way more about you than the people lamenting its loss. I learned so much on that app. I saw the funniest shit of my life there. Shit sucks.

Not heard a peep from Publishing on how the Tiktok ban is going to decimate book sales. Losing this platform is going to have huge impacts on so many authors careers.

As someone who's launch-week Switch is finally showing its age between persistent joycon drift and a chipped air vent, I'm keen to upgrade to the Switch 2 as soon as I can establish that I can re-download my digital games onto the new console.

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg’s desperation to be cool as they suck up to Donald Trump is so cringe it makes my skin crawl
I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this but everything seems to be going down the tubes quite fast. And not fun tubes, like at…

The great irony of being on sick leave is that you have all this time you could be working on your creative projects but are usually too tired/unwell to work on your creative projects.

Experiencing a regular medical episode: lame. Boring. Anyone can have high blood pressure.
Experiencing a medical episode so rare they put you in a study: sexy. Exciting. Sure you could have died but now you're a part of science!

I think we need to rephrase how we talk about work. Career? Corporate ladder? Yuk. Icky. A little task? Yeah I could definitely do a series of a little tasks for money.

my armchair psychological diagnosis is that the drive to accumulate as much wealth as possible eats away at the drive for self-improvement or the internal desire to cultivate any skills or tastes. these people build huge mounds of treasure and then essentially just sit around looking at it, empty.
find it genuinely delighting that people with enough money to never work again (and do literally anything they want anywhere in the world at any time) seemingly have nothing going on in their lives and are so miserable they are just spending the holidays frantically posting

When people advocate for new technologies - whatever they are - they paint a picture of the potential benefit to humanity. When the technologies are introduced they are used to maximise profit. The two things could coincide, for good reason, but there’s no guarantee and often don’t.
