I have to ship my desktop pc, I cannot bring it on the plane I cannot replace it for under $3000 in Australia. I need it relatively immediately and won’t have the space to build a new one - Can I please just get a consensus on the least shitty shipping company to air freight it?

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Not that I'm naive enough to think this will do what it says but, I mean, it doesn't take long to sign it: Petition EN7163 - Asylum for Gender and Sexual Minorities from the United States www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Liberal Party Launch: Peter Dutton continued to criticise recent immigration being at historically high levels. While that's true over a short timeline, over the last 5 years, we've had LESS people arrive in Australia than usual. He knows this. #auspol #AusVotes2025 #factcheck 👇 Bonus fact check

Happy #autismacceptancemonth ! Here's an old (like 10 years now lol) comic that explains the Autism Spectrum- still much needed, as I continue to see people- and most recently a book read out on bbc radio 4- think you're either 'mildly' or 'severely' autistic. Please give it a read 💖

If anyone from the U.S. is still in the UK from #KubeCon, you should know that COVID rapid tests at Boots are 5 for £9.90, which is a fraction of the price they are at home. Bring some extras back with you and give them to your neighbors

I explained it to several young teens today: imagine we wanted you to become more self-sufficient in the kitchen, so we decided to charge you $20 every time you got takeout. But also we have no food in the house, we won't let you go to the store, and also you don't know how to cook.

Ah, @atlassian.bsky.social you've outdone yourself at awful UX this time. A notice bar pushing some new features? OK, fair enough. At least it has a "X" so I can close it... oh, wait, the "X" does nothing.

In 1974 Australian workers (aka. the people who create all the wealth) received 55.9% of GDP in wages. Today it's 47.9%. If that share increased back to 1974 levels it would mean workers would, collectively, be $220 billion better off (more than $15,000 per employee, per year).🧵
