If you can’t hide the secret, feature it. Need to steal a coin from your pocket? Dipping in looks suspicious. So make it deliberate. Reach in openly, emerge holding a handkerchief. All eyes are on the cloth; no one sees the coin now in your palm. You can steal anything this way. Even a government.

By beckibarni comic, for all the lovely people in US: “you’ve been in child’s pose for almost three weeks. Just checking everything’s OK…”

Why is Big Tech hellbent on making AI opt out?

Putricia the #SydneyCorpseFlower at RBG lived up to her hype, absolutely stunning. We got in to her special greenhouse in her 7th hour of being open and had to hustle through due to nausea 🤮😆 Girls decided that her smell was expired tuna mixed with dog poop. ✅ #Botanic

Big hitters at the touring 60 year nniversary exhibition for the Journal of Australian #Ceramics plus some faves by local teachers and artists.

The #handmade Christmas #crochet craft gifts this year were all time legendary. 🤠🐢🧶

At a time when so many powerful people are bending the knee to Donald Trump, it’s incredibly important that we lift up acts of resistance. Yesterday, the celebrated editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit the Washington Post when they killed the cartoon below. This is what courage looks like.

This close to the border, you gotta hedge your bets.

I had no idea that book club would motivate me to read so much more this year, here’s a few from GR wrap but still more to finish now it’s holidays. Almost all fiction and women authors 🙌🏻

💯 random fun moments with SO, laughing thru the good and bad times , is the point of the whole thing

Man listen i need extraordinary attorney woo to come back in the worst way

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it. The law only ever serves capital.

Another fun filled #AFLW trade season, there goes one of our best players for a bag of beans

Time again for the NYT’s Best Romances of 2024, as chosen by me: A single fallible human reader, admittedly widely read, but with a finite amount of time and energy after the events of this horrible year. In sum: lotta romances about grief in here. #Romancelandia 💙📚 #RomanceColumn

Me, to kids on arrival: “Who can find Di Brock’s beautiful #ceramic art in this whole gallery? It probably involves eggs or flat stones…” They both interrupt — “it’s right there, mum, check out the size of Di’s eggs” 🥚🤦‍♀️😆

Logging into my shitposting/pseud acts with a gov.au address , flawless option 👌🏻

This book has been a labour of love - 100 years of women's football, untold stories, and so much inspiration. Out in 4 days #WomensFootball

Fatima Payman has given “racist” Pauline Hanson the roasting of her life in Senate after Hanson tries to refer Payman for investigation on her citizenship. Payman offers Hanson proof & calls out her history of racist attacks. Payman “You bring disgrace to the human race!”🔥 youtu.be/EyVlZNVo5JY?...

Competently absurd the government drops its anti-gambling reforms the same week it tries to ram through the social media ban and we’re supposed to believe it takes “protecting kids” seriously. Both decisions are about delivering for Australian media companies, there isn’t much more to it.

had a couple free hours between things so impulsively took kid rockpoolng and body surfing , always worth it 💙🩵

Nobody, especially readers, wants thousands of terrible books in the market each year when so many good books already struggle to compete , so who / what are they trying to disrupt ?

Me, collecting data: HAHA YESSSS Me, having to analyze such data:

Useful answers to many of my dumb #Alttext questions 👇 thanks @veron4ica.com

Limelight Classical Artist of the Year is now open. I voted Jayson Gillham as Australia AOTY (and Yuja Wang for International ) 👉 limelight-arts.typeform.com/AOTY24 Jayson’s performance dedicated to murdered Palestinian journalists had to be the biggest jmpact on Aus arts scene this year

“I'm writing a first draft and reminding myself that I'm simply shoveling sand into a box so that later I can build castles.” This was probably my most viral tweet. I've seen it pop up in a lot of quote aggregators, sometimes attributed to a wonderful but definitely not-me filmmaker.

Love Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis, and babies are always joyful news but wonder how ready the world is for the Kerr-Mewis dynasty about to be unleashed of future Ballon d'Or winners / Brownlow medallists 😆🇦🇺🇺🇸🏆 #NWSL #AFL #WSL

Can we take a moment to admire the extraordinary attention to detail in the costuming for #WolfHall from the incredible designer Joanna Eatwell? A flawless interpretation of Jane Seymour’s bonnet and gown from the Whitehall Mural 🙌
