There’s an international crowdfunding site I gave to during COVID19. Since then I’ve been messaged occasionally for more donations. This morning? Two calls, the second of which I answered and said my circumstances had changed. Was asked for money anyway. Then a WhatsApp message. Then email.

Idly remembering the time we had our pizza/fruit/whatever it was morale treat *removed and not given* (replaced with a note that said “if you aren’t appreciative we’ll give it to someone who is”). It wasn’t that we weren’t appreciative, exactly. We were overworked and never got to it. Ever.

There is no way that a professional, formed body of troops is that bad a drill. This is what a No Kings protest looks like when you are constrained by your uniform. Make no mistake, this is protest.

I realised that I can’t be strong about today. For anything. So I’m not. 🥄🥄🥄

I doubt anyone will see me post, but this needs to be known... if you have a visible following please repost 💙🔥💙 Admitting he wants "his people... aka US " to behave like north Korea for Kim Jong Un.🤬

Apparently today is Neurodiversity Pride day… Hey ND family! Happy ND Pride day!!!! neurodiversityprideday.com

Also after the weekend (see earlier autistic thread)… …I realised again that I have no way of adequately discussing (even in minimal terms) the trauma of 25 years as a critical care nurse. How do you unpack that?

😂😂😂😂

@albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social it's time to advise Australian tourists that they should avoid the USA... there have been numerous reports of US Border force rejecting, detaining & interrogating Aussies everyone, everywhere should avoid the USA #AusPol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Two weeks ago I skipped meals for a few days to visit a *GP*. And when I was late to the appointment due to traffic and time-blindness, got hit with $50 out of pocket penalty and a cancelled appointment. Can’t even think about seeing a specialist.

Things no-one asked for: Yesterday I discovered that we are learning you can mask autism with an identity incongruent with your own - I masked as a female despite identifying as cis-het male. Sole parent mother, worked and socialised primarily amongst nurses since forever…who else to mask from? 1/

Australia, there is scope to do the similar to our worst Prime Minister since Federation. You know the one.

Honestly, he’s done it several times already. I’m predicting that the 47th dictator is going to meet his end ignominiously falling down stairs. Something without blame, without arrests, but with an investigative file bigger than Epstein’s. If he did it this weekend with witnesses, the better.

Seems like a good move when people aren’t buying and the brand is toxic. I wonder if the upgrade means the doors unlock now when they catch fire with people inside?

“Duet” was likely the strongest first series episode of any TV series I can think of.

Honestly, if the left ever got organised to do anything, we’d start with a BBQ for planning. Which would promptly fail because meat vs vegan.

Blocking is curation, so block often. It’s funny when you get blocked by an account with no bio, photo, or posts though. Is it the intersectionality? The anti-fascism? The dog appreciation? The occasional pro-health message? Who can say?

Can we still be friends with California if the US fails?

I deleted the photo of the smug bastard because we all saw too much of that punchable face. Morrison's birthday honour an insult to the truth www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

I haven’t been hit by less lethal rounds or weapons, but I know personally that tear gas is no fun for most people… This is fascism.
