just a gal, crying at the end of an AFLW game, watching little gals get footy balls signed by big gals who never had their footy ball signed by big gals when they were little gals

my recipe: cool the slices on the bench at room temperature my darwin kitchen: *ambient temp of 31 degrees*

@ben_nexhip @RenInOz @georgieparker @LMcKirdy7 Second, it’s odd as a woman in sport to imagine recognition purely from merit. I mean no disrespect to the Kelpies, but they wouldn’t be top of my list of hard-done-by national teams. Maybe my bar is too low but it seems common and it’s okay (and nice) to have casual/viral fans?

@ben_nexhip @RenInOz @georgieparker @LMcKirdy7 you seem to regret that it’s the mode of engagement, and I guess my first response is to say that comments and social following is inherently good for a growing sport. You seem cross that it’s the first point of contact, and that you’d prefer otherwise - I don’t necessarily agree

I think my favourite thing of the weekend is that all the fragile men triggered by this have to put up with the fact the Aussies actually went on to WIN the tournament. Doing the country proud! 🇦🇺 #FAST5NWS

@ben_nexhip @RenInOz @georgieparker @LMcKirdy7 2. To tell a woman in sport (a journalist no less) that she isn’t supporting marginalised sportspeople, especially given the absolute vitriol she receives for her journalism in the space, feels a bit tone deaf. Pick on someone who isn’t doing the work for the little guys/gals?

@ben_nexhip @RenInOz @georgieparker @LMcKirdy7 this is kind of an odd take imo because: 1. the dances at Fast 5 create a spectacle, and more eyes on netty- is this not the point of a charismatic tournament? A fun little dance at a fun comp is a good way to get more interest and attention, I don’t know why you’d dislike that

like fuck off as if this is where I get to live

today I am entering a plea at the local ct, moving house, doing a gaol visit, getting a tattoo, and it’s my bday 🫡💅🐸

a couch in the living room is worth four in the facebook marketplace

@EmilyGreenaway7 @libby_schwarz If you ever find a better one pls let me know I’m always on the hunt!!

@manthajane____ @libby_schwarz It’s weird bc we had the mini version first & don’t recall it tasting weird but got full sized one & such a weird taste 🫣

I’m so good at putting sunscreen on my face pretty much every day unless I’m rotting inside the house. But I really need to start getting better at putting it on my arms & legs 😅 especially now I’m doing hours outside coaching 😅 and repeatedly throughout the day!

@EmilyGreenaway7 @libby_schwarz omg I’ve noticed this taste too I thought mine just got too hot or something!

@libby_schwarz I haven’t tried their serum. I’m not a huge fan of their spf lipgloss. Just has a weird taste for some reason

@lavosaurus the bar is in hell I fear

I absolutely hemorrhaged Instagram followers last night for posting a reel about the GWS thing and it’s so funny because dudes are dming me being like “I thought you were different” as if I made some hot take that was out of my usual genre??

AND all this in the context of this clusterfuck:

A suite of NT bail changes known as Declan's Law is set to pass parliament. What will it do? - ABC News abc.net.au/news/2024-10-1…

Bold of the NT CLP to introduce legislation that makes it harder to get bail (as if there are more than a small few that get it in the first place). In case it’s unclear, this reform will not likely change anything other than having more Indigenous kids in gaol, for longer

also extremely late reply to this but I tried lots of these ideas, some worked and some didn’t for some balls. if you don’t have a loose needle, I highly recommend asking a health worker you know to nick a metal syringe (the ones with flat tips not pointy tips)

#netballchaos netty twitter, any ideas on how to deflate a netball? leaving the ball pump needle in has only worked to an extent! I need to transport 8 netballs to Darwin and it feels silly to take 8 balls of air in a box lol

being a criminal lawyer is so weird. working in a social justice focused role means that lots of people think you’re an ethically-minded saint (lies), and many more think that criminal lawyers do an awful and unethical job (also a lie)

@ChamberlainSc not sure if you know that I’m kidding or not but yes I don’t think Darwin would have capacity (at a venue that’s not a footy field)

@manthajane____ Is there a netball stadium that will hold 12,000 - 16,000 people? That's what is needed

YAWN. come to darwin

in Darwin, eating my body weight in Laksa, shirtless, like god intended

Just signed up to a loyalty rewards program for a prescription sock supplier…post-melanoma life is aging me real bad
