Hanging out for a reprint when the cover (which won its own award) will have these stickers and the book will sell itself! 😂

It irks me that diet people are now saying they're biohacking. I always wanna say, yep, I know all about body mods & biohacking. I know my SF. Friends, they are not biohacking. They just want you to buy their pills, potions & superfoods. Health does not come in a pill. Also SF.

Can we just all acknowledge that MyGovID... looks so much like MyCovid... that we just don't want to log on and pay our taxes?

Tonya is a writer who just survived a second surgery and could use a hand in our healthcare hellscape. I've been here and it's terrifying to wake up in stitches knowing debt is waiting for you. Please chip in if you can.

I must remember to wear my support badges at festivals so young people like these know they can approach me to chat about their issues.

My mum: I'm exhausted. Had to do everything at work today, the (middle-aged) man has a sore back. Me: Poor weak little menfolk and their tender little bits. This is why NASA is only recruiting women for Mars.

Climate has really wrecked the winners / losers style of budget reporting because the losers tend to be anyone residing within Earth's atmospheric layer which tends to include all of the winners

Is there anything more ridiculous than Instagram's dismiss button. You block all the dat1ng & crypt0 bots each day, then they offer you the dismiss button to go to the profile you just blocked. How is that dismissing? I want a dismiss button that makes the profile explode!

I was on TV today, singing the praises of public libraries and calling on the Victorian government to #ProtectPublicLibraries

Victorian families facing a cost of living crunch are turning to public libraries to save money. The spaces are becoming an entertainment hub, a social centre and even offices for those working from home. https://t.co/lRKfjkjeio @SarahJaneBell94 #7NEWS

The current high-protein fad exists despite no protein deficiencies in developed countries and most people consuming double the RDA! Eating less animal protein is the easiest and cheapest way for you to help your planet.

Cally Black just put aside a whole 75,000 word novel and started again! It was the right idea... but it had too many wrong elements. She did it with In the Dark Spaces too and that turned out great. It might be part of the process! Maybe.

Wow! Drunk booking on @bookingcom has been a huge thing lately. Does the platform make it too easy? Promise free booking? None of the other platforms have as many tyre kickers grabbing up dates they can’t put a deposit on. So much work chasing them down.

Post covid lockdown every 2nd @bookingcom booking ultimately cancels. That’s a lot of wasted work/held days that legit people can’t book. I dunno why? Saturday am when I see bookings from 1am I just sigh. Drunk booking is a thing! Aus should just turn the internet off at night!

Protecting trans people IS protecting our children. They ARE our children. They didn’t fall from the sky. They were raised by us with the same love as all our children. All our children deserve a safe and stable world. Is that what will ultimately fix society?
