Since I've been in Parliament, I have rarely seen the two parties cooperate on anything. Then along comes the Electoral Reform Bill. Now they suddenly agree. Part 1.

Maybe bluesky is the revolution. Maybe this becomes normal and that infiltrates real life.

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this. Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

Day 85 - COVID cast a spell that turned me into a snail. The world on my back, the bank on my tail, I don't know now I'll manage if it keeps getting worse. It's not pity I need; it's help in breaking the curse #LC #LongCOVID #MECFS #Fatigue

Looking after the kids. My @smh cartoon.

for the women who are feeling defeated .. i know, we thought finally, this is the time for us. And now we are despondent. Take time, but we cannot walk away from this fight. Take a breath, suit up, call on the warrior women who came before us, and get back in it. Our daughters depend on it.
