I love this 🙌

I am left wing. I am also disappointed in the Australian Labor Party. I’m allowed to be. #auspol

I don't want a lot for Christmas There is just one thing I need I want lots of book shaped presents Underneath the Christmas tree I just want to read all day There best be books on Santa's sleigh What more can I do-oo-oo Cos baby all I want for Christmas is booooooo (oks)

Do you ever get the feeling the world’s gone crazy? With this in mind, I play the Flintstones theme in the style of the Russian classics.

Such a wonderful quote ❤️💙

As David Crisafulli huddled with his MPs inside the 58th Qld Parliament, Path to Treaty supporters with Labor MPs rallied outside against the repeal of the legislation. Jarrod Bleijie declared a mandate & falsely claimed 5 million voted for repeal. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

After having spent an inordinate amount of time on X, one thing that is now abundantly clear is that WE ALL KNOW HOW TO SPELL OVER HERE. I wondered why the writer in me has been so calm these past few weeks. Pat yourselves on the back, people. 💙 😁 💞

Did you know BlueSky only has 20 employees? We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to those 20 warriors (who are working 24/7 to keep up with the incredible growth) for giving us a space to share. We escaped hell to be here. Thank you, @bsky.app & Jay Graber CEO (not a billionaire)

Today’s poem is called ‘Brie Encounter’. Sorry about this one.

Hi guys, it’s Phil and Margot. Just opened this account. Will do an occasional post. Have a sensational arvo and stay peachy😁

I didn’t get an advent calendar this year so I’m just going to open random cupboards and eat everything in them.

Move at your own pace rather than trying to enter a race, don’t let those around you be the reason you drown you. Don’t let other people hyper let you lose your goals or sight. (MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS)

The next few years are going to be tough, but just remember what Anne Herbert said: "Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries." The best time to join your local library is right now - if you have not already done so!

I'm a total go with the flow kinda person as long as the flow is scheduled well in advance and there are no mid-flow changes whatsoever

I love this.

Aaah the innocence 😊

Today’s poem is called ‘She’d Dance’.

Today’s poem is called ‘First Date’.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever. #books #reading #booksky #poetry

It’s a treat and honour to be asked to present my favourite Australian radio show, Saturday Extra on ABC Radio National. I’m following in the footsteps of two giants - Geraldine Doogue and Fran Kelly. I’ll be in the presenter’s chair from January next year.
