Did you know that
someone here on the tweeters
drove to my place todayin the midst of very hot heat of the afternoon heat
and left a couple of RATs in my letterbox
🙏🙏🙏
Huge shoutout to the Sikh community for their selfless service in providing thousands of free and fresh meals to those in need in Victoria..
"Dhanwaad Ji"
This is Lang Hancock, father of Gina Rinehart.
Gina is funding the No campaign.
Gina is a multibillionaire, protecting her mining interests.
Just imagine, for a moment, that he is talking about your parents.
It is uncanny.
BHP
Qantas
The RBA
…and *hundreds* of other companies have “inadvertently” underpaid workers.
10,000s of thousands of workers.
Over many years.
Inadvertently.
Hundreds of thousands of innocent mistakes.
And never ONCE did they inadvertently overpay.
Uncanny.
Ever go to the supermarket and think that you’re too smart for lists?
“I only need 3 things. I can remember 3 things.”
As it turns out, I cannot remember 3 things.
Hey do you remember that time when the scientists said:
"oh, fmd there is a hole in the ozone layer and that’s fvcked"
And they said we couldn’t uses CFCs any more, and people said:
"Oh, ok.
Got it, no CFCs."
Good times eh.
Dear people who seem angry and confused by the Voice,
Do not worry.
You will not be deprived of anything should the Voice referendum succeed.
You will not lose your car, or your house.
You won’t lose any money.
In fact, you won’t lose a single sultana.
All your stuff is safe.
I completely lost it today.
Very unlike me.
But I just snapped.
I could not take it anymore.
Two men, in the Castlemaine IGA (Vic) standing around, talking.
One without a mask, the other wearing his mask on his forehead.
People are defacing/stealing and fvcking driving over Yes signs in my little regional town, population ~600.
This has been your unofficial occasional reminder that the N A Z I S were never a ‘German’ problem, they were (are) a human problem.
It’s always there, lurking.
😔💔😔
I am offering a new service:
Alcohol Offsets
Alcohol Offsets work exactly like carbon offsets.
Instead of actually reducing your alcohol intake, simply pay me to not drink for you.
This will allow you to drink twice as much.

5 years ago, today.
I took every cent I had, and bought a feral country block, with a dilapidated house.
I don’t go in the house, bad juju in there.
I live in a partially converted shed.
It’s basic, but I am grateful.
tbh, I did not think I would last this long.
5 years.
There are so many people suffering so much right now.
Some in hospitals, some sick at home, some drowning in their own pus. Sick kids, sick babies. People dying.
People with no incomes.
So many locked down.
And these two buffoons.
Fvck them both to hell.
Fvck them.
ok, little help please
I need to check if I am sane, you know?
At the shops yesterday.
Small town.
Victoria.
I was one of a VERY FEW wearing a mask.
I felt like I was in a cheap-arse zombie movie, just before the zombies were about to turn.
They watched me.
Am I insane?
Y/N
I feel thoroughly sickened, angry, and full of despair right now.
I hesitated before tweeting.
But I feel I should, so…
Our little town got lights installed on the oval.
The local member came out to the celebration.
Photos of happy faces posted on FB.
And on the far right…
I may lose some followers over this,
but dammit
that milkshake thing
Do you know how many preppy young white men DIE EVERY WEEK because they have been milkshaked?
DO YOU KNOW.
We treat anxiety and depression as though they are diseases.
But I can’t help but think that they’re both quite rational and reasonable responses to this insane way of living we have created for ourselves.
But that’s probably just my anxiety and depression talking, right?
So I just kept loudly calling them "selfish arseholes".
Then I got out my phone and took pics.
And I kept LOUDLY saying "selfish arseholes, selfish arseholes, selfish..." until they gave in and moved on.
Here are the cvnts:
Breaking:
Scott Morrison announces that he is also stepping down as Premier for Western Australia and as the Member for Rockingham.
“It is time for the people of Western Australia to have a new secret Premier.”
-S Morrison
Before you judge Ben Roberts-Smith, just ask yourself:
Who amongst us hasn’t had a judge say we brutally killed non-combatants in an insane, irrelevant war far away, and then drank out of one their prosthetic legs at a party with soldiers?
We were all young and foolish once.
I grew up in the US,
I never liked Halloween as a kid, for all kinds of reasons.
I liked it even less as it became the commercial monstrosity we know today.
Why Australia has decided to adopt this american nonsense is beyond me.
“20 lives lost”
As if we misplaced them somewhere.
As if they were bags we put down and forgot about.
As if there aren’t 20 families drowning in grief right now.
Fvck all your spin and marketing obfuscation.
Mother’s Day is not the same for everyone.
Many celebrate, many mourn.
But some had mean, narcissistic, selfish, ignorant, mothers.
Some mothers did things to children that would make you sick.
Not all mothers carry the caring gene.
Not all mothers are missed on Mother’s Day.
huh
I saw some tweets earlier about a coup in Russia, so I put on
@abcnews
while I cleaned the house 11-noon.
Apart from a very brief segment, and the screen crawl, they have said nothing.
I mean, they even replayed the King on his fvcking horse.
I’m sad about Sinéad’s passing.
But I’m also angry.
Angry at a lazy, delusional (insane?) society that continues ~~TO THIS DAY~~ to allow corrupt, perverse institutions like The Catholic Church to thrive.
Fvcking bishops living like multimillionaires in their red slippers.
Just a reminder that your Federal Labor Government spends:
SIXTY ONE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($61,400,000.00) every year on school chaplains
The tall one finally said "we’re right, thanks"
And then I lost it.
(Loud, outside voice)
"No, you’re not right, you’re arseholes.
People have to work here, shop here, and none of us need whatever it is that you’re breathing out all over us"
Put. On. Your. Masks."
More smirks
Yo,
@abcnews
Just a quick heads up.
Europe, North America, the North Atlantic, Antarctica, even FVCKING Tasmania are ALL EXPERIENCING HISTORICALLY HIGH TEMPERATURES.
Perhaps, just maybe, this is as important as sports news.
p.s.
Record ice melts in Greenland and Antarctica.
My old guitar has not been played for years.
I bought it at 15, with money earned working on construction sites.
I bought it after my mother took my first guitar, which I also had paid for, and smashed it on the ground for not washing the dishes.
I’m ready to play it again.
Gurner Group founder Tim Gurner tells the Financial Review Property Summit workers have become "arrogant" since COVID and "We've got to kill that attitude."
A smart country would offer free life-long learning to anyone who wants it, across a really wide range of disciplines and teaching/learning modes.
Because a smart country would know that it’s smart to be smart.
I cried a bit the other day.
I was listening to a podcast about changes in the acoustic environment - especially birdsong.
They played recordings of a meadow from the 90s, 2000s, 2010, and last year.
You could *hear* the decline of life.
Busy, full of birds at first, then…
😔
We are destroying the spectacular
#Murujuga
(Burrup Peninsula) art with heavy industry.
“…over 37000 hectares with a collection of more than one million ancient petroglyphs. It is the oldest and richest collection of rock art engravings in the world…”
I’m interested to see how this turns out.
I’m seriously considering sending a (registered) letter to the CEO of the hospital I have to go to for surgery (Bendigo) saying that I will expect 100% n95 masking, and that if I do end up with a HAI, I’ll sue everyone I can find.
@StVincentsMelb
I have just called to request that staff wear N95s for my upcoming procedure.
The way this has been handled is again not at the standard required.
When a patient makes that request, the response should not be "why." It should be, of course!
Planting a tree is like sending an anonymous love letter to the future.
I bought some native plants yesterday from an amazing local woman who propagates everything herself.
Today I will be sending a love letter to a future I can only imagine, a future that I will not see.
Here is my plan for everyone to be rich:
1) Starting tomorrow, we allocate everyone a Special Day.
2) On their Special Day, everyone else gives them $1.
3) And so on and so forth, until everyone is rich.
I will go first to test out the system for everyone.
A friend came to visit.
He had two days in the state, he spent one with his troubled son, the other with me.
He drove 3 hours, in a car rented for just that purpose.
He bought me lunch.
He wanted to make sure that I was ok.
I am not equipped to reciprocate such kindness.
I have always been an outlier - different and strange.
This rarely bothers me, I have come to regard different = good.
But I do admit, being one of a *very few* who are still masking is…
Very othering
Confronting
Isolating
And depressing, because I am surrounded by 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️
When the ambulance containing my sad carcass rolled into Bendigo Hospital yesterday late morning, there were *at least* a half dozen ambulances ramped.
3-4 had their lights flashing.
I was told that meant that they had been there for more than an hour.
I am grateful for every cent of the Disability Support Pension I receive.
Signs are there will be no increase (again) in the coming budget.
I am grateful for every cent of the DSP, but the truth is that there aren’t enough cents.
Did you know that
while asleep,
over the course of a year,
the average adult will inhale:
-1kg of dried skin
-2kgs dust mites
-1,000 spiders
-8 mice
-a pony
If you are in eastern australia right now and you aren’t looking at the moooooooOOOOOooooooon, you really need to ask yourself why.
Please post pics.
I don’t have any moon pic tech.
Why yes, I did just block you.
No, we never interacted.
I just saw your tweet.
And you were being racist/misogynistic/hateful/bullying/anti-vax/trans/peace, etc.
And I thought:
‘…I don’t want to waste a single breath on this fvck knuckle…’
So, I blocked you.
Your loss.
🤷♂️
Damn that’s hard.
I went to put on some music while tidying, and everything I looked at was so laden with memory, I ended up sitting on the floor and crying.
Big old sook.
They actually said on the news “…it’s not known what caused the implosion…”
And I’m thinking it probably had something to do with all that fvcking water.
I am feeling very grateful today.
Grateful for roast pumpkin and sweet potato soup.
Grateful to be safe, and warm, and out of the weather.
Grateful for days when pain is just a distraction, and fear only a memory.
Grateful for every moment.
It is not
arson
a hoax
a scam
a psyop
bad luck
greenies
sun spots
volcanoes
space lasers
a conspiracy
a natural cycle
solar maximum
an Illuminati plot
actually a good thing, or
a lack of forestry management.
It is our inevitable comeuppance.
I’m blocked by most of the Labor rustadons.
But nonetheless I’m seeing people pop up in my timeline defending Labor’s INSANE FVCKING decision to buy nuclear submarines.
“They were wedged”
“Morrison forced their hand”
“The media would have crucified them”
ffs
THEY ARE IN POWER.
@AlboMP
Yo Albo,
I don’t recall you saying anything supportive of Dan Andrews these past months, nor did I hear a peep of condemnation from you about the way the LNP has been acting.
But maybe you said it so quietly I couldn’t hear?
