Wow! That is totally epic!!! What a beautiful piece of artwork. I didn’t even know it was possible to do something so cool with bleach.

Hello evening friends! I wrote about Brett Sutton's resignation as CHO and how embarrassing you all were during his press conferences theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Farewell Brett Sutton, the silver fox chief health officer Victorians couldn’t keep their eyes off...

Like a superhero in an open-necked shirt and a vaguely sexy beard, he emerged during the Covid crisis to keep us safe. And now he’s gone!

Instead of a CEO sleep out, we should just put neoliberal economists, the RBA board and big business leaders on the average Australian wage for six months (no access to savings) and get them to show us how it all works - budgeting, finding housing etc, in this economy

Boy2: why are you all laughing? My dad: your grandma just made a joke. Boy2: was it a joke about a poo running away from a bum? My dad: it wasn’t that sophisticated.

Turning and turning in the widening dryer The mother cannot find the matching socks; Tbh everything is falling apart. Mere anarchy is loosed upon this house (it’s bedtime). The parents lack all conviction (tired), While the children are full of passionate intensity (overtired).

Best moment of #TheSummit was Jacqui smugly asking Kitty if she had limbered up and 60-year-old Kitty dropping into the splits.

Gabrielle Carey was fiercely intelligent: both prickly and generous. I crossed paths with her at Varuna and UTS, where so many students were lucky to be taught by her. Our mental health system is broken. We need to pay artists a living wage. smh.com.au/lifestyle/life-an…

A ‘social cure’ for depression: Can we afford it, or afford not to try?

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m 64? That was a question I was forced to confront.

That being said, it was pretty good. So long as you scrape out the stroopwafel and put it in the bin.

About a year ago I dreamed I invented the perfect jaffle. It was pickles, deep-fried Camembert and a stroopwafel. Today I find myself in possession of all the necessary ingredients and it is happening!
