Little Treasures abc.net.au/gardening/fact… Thank you GA, for helping me to raise the profile of a little known, critically endangered Victorian grassland species.

@metrotrains why is a perfectly good train sitting at West Footscray platform 2, while we wait for a delayed train on platform 3 to take us to Sunbury? We just got off the platform 2 train and were told it terminates here, I’m freezing for 15mins……. 😡😡🤬🤬🤬

@metrotrains why do you always disrupt the weekend. Most casual train users use the trains on weekends….. to get to the city. I’m beyond over the bus replacing trains…… it happens every weekend I need them. It’s been 5 to 6 years now. When will this nightmare be over?

@SandyHorne61 We drove there there last time this happened in 2011, it’s was fantastic.

I just looked up Lake Eyre tours. Very expensive. And that large 'single supplement' is just another reminder of my singleness 😞

@marggilroy @SandyHorne61 😁😆😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 really…..

@SandyHorne61 It’s tough for all the wealthy folk…

While I - with bugger all super - will never be able to retire. Ever. I'll work until I drop. Cry harder, rich people.

@SandyHorne61 Hopefully one day I will, but so far still loving work….

@metrotrains If we ever get there taken 20mins to get from Footscray to Nth Melb praying it doesn’t take that long to get to Sth Cross 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

⛔️Craigieburn/Sunbury/Upfield/Werribee/Williamstown lines: Delays up to 30 minutes due to an overhead power fault in the North Melbourne area.

Passenger wanting a City Loop station, please change at Southern Cross and go to Platform 9 for an outbound Hurstbridge/Mernda service.

Great start but sad that Australia is not committed #ESAus2024

@metrotrains To Watergardens, wasn’t offered an express bus and just missed the train at Sunshine Station……. Currently waiting 1/2hr for the next train.

@wombatnatter We have a number of planned works at North Melbourne tonight. Which line are you travelling along?

@metrotrains get off the train at North Melbourne… 100+ people waiting no buses……

Please RSVP: Evening with the federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek nature.org.au/evening_with_t…

@SarahAllenFinch @MtRothwell Love this!

Eastern barred bandicoot inspired by a spotlight tour at @MtRothwell a few years ago. It was an experience I highly recommend. Bandicoots, quolls, bettongs and brush tail rock wallabies doing their thing in a feral predator proof sanctuary. Amazing.

@CarlBovisNature I barely look at X now. Ever since it changed to X I don’t find it is as good or easy to use. Sorry that you think this is the only platform. I prefer Facebook.

I'm a bit fed up. I work so hard with my little business, things that go unnoticed by everyone, but have got to be done. I need Twitter, but Twitter makes being seen much harder than it ever has been. Earlier I posted a link to my new blog post & asked for opinions on it... out of 182,000 followers, guess how many took a look? 44. No-one gave their opinion.. I don't blame my followers, who have always been incredibly supportive of me & my photography, I blame Twitter for making it so hard for creators to be seen. It never used to be like this. I was looking at tweets I posted back in 2021... despite half the following that I have now, I was regularly getting 2 times the level of engagement than I am getting now.. My replies are full of spam and bots, I never got them before.... Elon took away my Legacy Verified tick because it was 'the only way to tackle the bots'.... A lie. Things have got 10 times worse on that front.. It was all about monetizing Twitter & promoting his own political agenda. I now pay for Twitter. I have no choice unless I want my engagement to fall even further. From a business point of view, a fall in views equals a fall in sales which equals a fall in revenue... I'm tired of constantly trying to think of new ways to have my content viewed. Every Friday, I've started asking my followers to retweet a specific photo, to help to beat the restrictive algorithm... I hate having to do this! I know from feedback that followers who have lost contact with my account find me again thanks to the extra impressions the retweets bring... it shouldn't be this hard! Sometimes I wonder why I bother. My bird business was started in 2019, and it allowed me and my family to dream of being able to move out of our little shared ownership 'starter' home that we've been in for 32 years, and save enough to put a deposit down for our own home finally, something we could never have done with the wages from my stressful day job, they only just covered the household bills. Any profits from my business are saved with this dream in mind, after working all day and all evening, my partner often asks if it's 'worth all the effort', and I reply it will be one day, when we can finally move, to which she replies 'the only place we'll be moving into is a wooden box... 😒 We're not getting any younger.. I don't feel guilty about earning from my photography, or for sharing my Ko-fi account so people can 'buy me a coffee' if they want to support me... that might seem like a strange thing to say, but some people do try and make me feel bad for it... Millions of people all over the world earn from the talents they have... I'm useless at everything, but I can take a nice bird photo. I'm not saying that's a talent, but people seem to like them, and it's the only thing I can do, so I'm trying to use this capability to improve the circumstances for my family ... what's so bad about that? I'm just exhausted and very tired, I haven't slept well since Christmas which may explain my current melancholy mood... if you've read this far, you're a genuinely kind follower... thank you! I have to continue on Twitter, my main following is here, I'll just carry on trying to think of new ways to be seen...

Hardly here any more due to X.

@dog_rates That’s hilarious 🤣

This is Wayne. He closed the cat in his kennel. And he would do it again. 13/10

@MagdaSzubanski Me too…. 🔴🟡⚫️.

#Referendum2023 I’m so deeply saddened that this has been the result. To all our beautiful First Nations people…my heart goes out to you tonight I wish this had been different. Please know that there are millions of us who love and treasure and support you, that we hear your Voice and we will continue to walk with you 💔🙏🖤💛❤️

@CatMYoung Me too…. 🔴🟡⚫️. Just goes to show I’m not mainstream. Happy about that but devastating for our indigenous people. Angry at the government for doing such a terrible referendum job. It has created greater division & anger in all our communities that will leave permanent scars.

Days like today I'm reminded that I live in a bubble. Everyone I have spoken to this month voted yes, everyone on my socials (even Facebook!) voted yes (or said they did) and yet here we are..... Disappointed 💔

@davidcsimon Your very lucky. So beautiful 😍

@smokenapancakee @DieselthecatL9 That’s terrible, thank you for rescuing him. Love tuxedo’s we currently have 3.

@DieselthecatL9 Tuxedos are the best ☺️ this boy was dumped in the middle of winter as a 6 wk old kitten

My neighbour found a kitten that had been left in the road in Warrington on his way home from work, brought him home and has decided to raise him. Absolutely adorable 😩🥰

@DieselthecatL9 Sooo cute!

@GOLDCOUNCIL You can’t eat or drink gold….. 🤔

When the unexpected happens and the world is in turmoil, with gold, you could be protected.
