That gal you know

@heymrsbond How old are sophomores? (Australian here).

@Death_Bow Yep. Had an old bar fridge for quite a while before I could afford a fridge. Took my single bed from my parents house. Lots of second hand donated bits and pieces from family.

@lesstenny Kind

When I mention Jacinda Ardern, what's the first thought that comes to your head?

@AndrewPStreet We put hooks etc in anyway and use filler and paint over before we leave 😬 Also, 3M for art (up to a point).

@FelicityCG @felicityward @Racey19 @Emsyanna I have vivid memories of opening the packet and finding it had gone slimey. Terrifying.

@felicityward Jesus how quickly did it turn bad too- that smell🤢We had so much chicken loaf as kids that we raided the petals off the flowering magnolia and “sold” it as chicken loaf in our pretend garden shop @Racey19 @Emsyanna

was anyone else subjected to the trauma of chicken loaf when they were a kid? asking for my therapist

@felicityward Yes!!! My kids say things like “get the good leg ham off the bone mum, not the shaved one”. They know not of the horror of that giant square loaf of cream coloured congealed “meat”🤢

@theDRAMAgoat1 Yes. In Australia, where I think teacher salary vs cost of living is better than in in the US.

Can a single person (without children) on a first year teacher's salary afford to rent a one bedroom apartment in your state within a half an hour drive to your school? Reply Yes/No and your state (or general area), I'm trying to see something...

@JaneCaro Agreed. She is an intelligent and driven woman who could have contributed so much to the Royal legacy, but it was easy to see that was never going to eventuate without the support of those higher up in the royal family. Thankfully they’ve built a life away from that toxic world.

This hatred of Meghan Markle is unhinged. It reveals so much about the haters - their cliched, sexist, racist, controlling, threatened & threatening view of the world - and precisely nothing about her.

@RHaselby @IfIRldThe_World @MathTeacher1123 Same. My mum would encourage me, even as a teen, to “put some make up on because you look so pretty with make up on”, especially if we were going to see her friends. As a result I try not to comments related to my daughter’s appearance.

@MathTeacher1123 I do that sometimes when my mum comes to visit. Reassures me at the end of the day that I’m not “imagining” the negativity and there is in fact a reason I feel exhausted and anxious around her.

@degtrman @slsandpet I’m okay with that.

@slsandpet A side effect of this 'mansplaining' phenomenon is decent men who are just trying to be helpful being reluctant to offer any help at all.

@slsandpet Yes. Well, no. Not thick. Arrogant? Self obsessed? Presumptuous? The entire world has told them “your opinion is important. You are important”. I think it’s conditioned.

@ToddJDavey Drinking fountains

@noplaceforsheep Has anyone tested negative on a PCR whilst symptomatic? I tested negative while symptomatic 3 days ago (had symptoms for 48 hours prior to test) and have today tested positive.

I’m sure somebody will know the answer to this: Do asymptomatic COVID subjects have a similar viral load to symptomatic patients?

@PSyvret The only dubious thing about my time at uni is my enormous HECS debt.

Proof that dinosaurs still roam among us.

@AndrewPStreet Oh and “that’s a paddlin”. I think I’ve discovered I talk in Simpsons quotes on the daily.

Important conversation you should immediately stop work to address: what out-of-context Simpsons quote do you deploy with the most cavalier disregard? For me, it remains a tie between "you better run, egg!" and "one with an *untwistable* stomach".

@AndrewPStreet Also sing “I gave my love a chicken, it had no bones” quite a bit.

@AndrewPStreet Mrs Hoover, you I’d like to get down now.

@AndrewPStreet Oh I’m not a doctor

@AndrewPStreet I am so smart. I am so smart. SMRT. I mean, SMART.
