american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

I will never apologize for a post

It's true that Russia invaded Ukraine, not the other way around. But liberals explaining this to Republicans reeks of smugness.

I'm fine with trans women in the bathroom. I am not fine with male cops in the bathroom inspecting genitals.

in a sleep deprived stupor yesterday i described brian wilson as "a man who tasted coastal kitsch and saw the face of god"

Today I have presented to Parliament the Right to Protest Bill 2025. It is a direct response to the creeping authoritarianism of State and Territory anti-protest laws. The Greens will fight for your right to fight for your rights!

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

check it out, you can now use your bandcamp subdomain as your bluesky handle

Landed back in Melbourne today only to be reminded why we just spent the last two weeks in (mostly northern) wintery Japan

Apparently this photo of mine is currently on display at the Australian Embassy in Berlin (yeah, Berlin, go figure) as part of an Everyday Climate Crisis Exhibition. I took it between Renmark and Mildura in Dec 2019 during extreme drought conditions. An example of desertification.

here come old laptop he come bootin up slowly he got broken touchpad he need one more update he got no space on this pc one thing i can tell you its got no warranty

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

Last night I drew a map of places of worship in and around Melbourne’s CBD w/ 150m exclusion zones around them. It shows that the new laws will make protests at common gathering places, parks, transport hubs and thoroughfares illegal /🧵

This is not ok!

This is the weirdest possible time to have a Peak Design backpack that I need to sell

"You've heard of elf on the shelf" Like, no, not really. It was invented in 2004 when I was already a teenager, and then at some point in the 2010s people just started pretending it was a long standing tradition

Tech bros know what every parent wants: children who sleep less

You'd think the article couldn't possibly be funnier than the headline, but it just keeps getting better and better www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

so funny that all the dingus 'alpha male manosphere' grifter goofs like to use animal kingdom for examples of strength being gained through domination. bud that is why THEYRE STILL LOBSTERS and WE ARE PEOPLE. humans evolved to the top by community and working together not who pinches the hardest

This is INSANE. Somehow we have decided as a nation that it's fine to give taxpayer funds to the very richest schools while sabotaging public education. How is this okay? How is this sustainable in any way? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Me: *double-clicks on an MP3 file* macOS: a music file? Great, I'll open Apple Music! Me: are you going to play my MP3 now? macOS: ...no

Laser focused on cost of living, but just happened to spend the last weeks of parliament introducing pantomime social media bans, cooked donations “reforms” and racist deportation laws

Some comments in a thread about a recent report stating 3 million people in Australia are at risk of homelessness

Seriously, this should be a poster on placards littered around Macnamara

This is my cat, Tweak, who clearly decided this morning that basking in the sun was much more important than my silly "don't sit on the balcony table just in case you spot a bird and decide to jump after it" time

Stem cell transplant breakthrough finally helps Australia to grow a spine & adds our support to now 147 nations out of 193 for Palestinian sovereignty.

it's been (only) two years since i drew this

My 6-gave old has decided to dress up as a, quote, “fancy mum”. This turns out to be leggings, a 3RRR tshirt, sunglasses and a tote bag, which I have to say is on-point

also don't buy guns. they are most likely going to end up killing someone in your household and they are not going to keep you safe from the government. just don't buy guns

As a kid I designed card games, programmed games, played with music keyboards, & made art. None of this was reflected in my terrible grades. I had no idea I was actually training myself for my future career. School does not define you, but your obsessions can, if you give them space & attention.
