Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

@RoughTrade The Corrs. I wore a lot of black because of them!

Band/artist who most influenced the fashion of your formative years?

I need our male friends to understand how much Kamala communicated with her facial expressions last night and how every woman in America was having a telepathic conversation with her through our tv screens. A whole conversation was had that you all didn’t hear.

"Under Harris, a foreigner has been allowed to take over the minds of American children" says Trump

In school we have swimming lessons instead of active shooter drills.

Things that people who come to Australia are afraid of: Spiders, Scorpions, Snakes, Sharks, Crocs, Jellyfish, Blue Ring Octopus, Stone Fish, Feral Pigs, Giant bulls, Emus, and Kangaroos. Things that Australians are afraid of: Magpies.

@bne_lordmayor Frozen! (Kidding).

@drruthmitchell Definitely! You can’t buy a sign like that!

Well I’m pretty sure this is my new door sign. #neurosurgery #brainsurgery #paediatricneurosurgery

@CaraDillonSings Oh gosh Cara, how scary! Relieved to hear you’ll be okay. ♥️

An update x

@Trish_Corry @WeeFlowerLass I loved watching The Goodies after school!

@WeeFlowerLass Yes Goodies were 6.00pm and Dr who was 6.30pm Monday-Thursday. Sometimes they replaced a season of the Goodies with Monkey or Worzel Gummidge. There was also an Australian drama called “Home” set in a foster home. Tom Baker for me!

Does anyone else remember how in the 70s Dr Who was shown in Australia for about 15-20 minutes a day four days a week? (Trying to settle a discussion with a younger friend.)

@zoescaman Wow!

@GingerGorman That’s when I watch this TED Talk! youtu.be/zNBmHXS3A6I?si…

Those moments of crushing imposterism.

I think it’s pretty cruel that women have such a short window to have kids. Like what if you marry the wrong person and then a global pandemic happens and you get really sick and now you’re ready to go but you’re 36 and single? Like where is the room for error

Men’s violence against women is man-made, so it requires a man-made solution. Please fix it.

Truly devastated by the damage done by @Delta to my 20 year old martin guitar. So many memories just gone. Absolutely beyond devastated. Please repost. @Delta needs to be held responsible.

However bad your day was, it probably didn’t go this badly

A 30th woman has just been killed by male violence. A woman has been killed every 4 days on average in Australia in 2024. This is a national emergency. Join a rally this weekend across Australia to demand real action and solutions from our political leaders 👇🏼

This just fills me with despair - a society where men feel so powerless and entitled, they keep killing us. A woman is being violently killed in Australia every four days this year smh.com.au/national/a-wom…
