@AlanBaxter I slipped over while playing chasey around the house with my then 3-year-old (yes, I was running in socks). Split my face open, ended up with 3 stitches and a delightful scar through my eyebrow. On the plus side, my child now regards me as a cautionary tale.

@BothersomeWords Oh nooo!! Leaving the house is always fraught with danger. I hope it's short-lived. xx

All right. Which one of you punks gave me your cold on Saturday? 😡

@PatrickLenton Bass and Flinders in Dromana do great gin, and there's also Jimmy Rum (distillery) and Jetty Road (brewery with good food & vibes), along with a handful of wine and cider joints, within literal stumbling distance if any of that is your jam.

thinking of a day trip in Victoria, preferably to a whiskey distillery? maybe gin? any recs? I'd like to see somewhere pretty

@danielle_binks Oh my god, what new depths they plumb...

@Tim_Coronel A smarm

@roch_town Oh I'll drink to that!

I'm glad winter is officially here so that it can go fuck off.

@reddotscribble I shall not name names to protect the guilty but suffice to say that neither telling me about a meme you sent me nor confirming times for an engagement at the weekend constitute even a mild emergency.

Tweeps, I’m not the only one with these internalised phone rules, am I? 1. Before 10am = important (do Thing today) 2. After 8am but before 9am = mild emergency (A Thing happened but everyone’s fine) 3. Any time between 10pm and 7am = actual emergency. (Hospital, police, funeral)

@fionathehardy Oh Fi, that is the worst timing, I'm so sorry! 😥😥

@reddotscribble Vanessa my in laws have been in town since last Saturday and out of the five of us FOUR have been sick on and off and now here’s me with a cold, rounding out the five!! It’s not like they spent thousands of dollars to come see us or anything 😭

Hello I am not feeling very well so I am only looking at my list of nice accounts tonight. Unfortunately you must suffer through my retweeting of anything that made me feel good feelings instead of dramatic woe

@kylie_evolved Colour me shocked that those readers have a bad take. 🙄

@kylie_evolved 😯😯😯

@roch_town You are my people.

I'm so old I woke up today and went "what a spectacular day, can't wait to do the laundry."

@kylie_evolved oh god!! That shit is NOT helpful.

@kylie_evolved That opening scene absolutely horrified me.

@kylie_evolved Thank god for the good ones ❤️

@kylie_evolved Yep. And/or to pay back your savings, so it still doesn't feel like you have any $$. It's so frustrating. Freelance cash flow is the worst.

@kylie_evolved I am 100% with you. It's melting my brain, working my butt off but feeling like I'm going broke because, despite having a gazillion outstanding invoices, my bank account is almost EMPTY.

@readingkate I would definitely try - and if I saw it on your website, I would award bonus points for correct usage!

@reddotscribble because we’re entirely web & socials it’s feeling hazy about whether it’s a fight to keep fighting or not. But surely, surely we can keep the spanning dash right? Right? At least?!

making so many friends at work by being insistent to the point of pedantic about using en dashes
