I'm an RN. Please don't believe the premier when he says hospitals are coping. Shit is absolutely cooked. Nurses are being forced to take a dangerous amount of patients because there is no staff. My advice to the public? Don't get sick right now. Also, don't vote LNP.
I am going to be thinking of what the police said about tasering a 95 year old lady until I am dead
"At the time she was tasered, she was approaching police. It is fair to say at a slow pace. She had a walking frame. But she had a knife."
I don't like when people call nurses "angels". I can't fly, I've never hung out with God and I can't perform miracles so please pay me and make sure where I work is adequately staffed, thanks.
Imagine going on a date, laughing, having a wonderful time, thinking "is this the start of something?" then he says "I think Scott Morrison is doing an alright job"
Does anyone in the entire country actually choose Coles over Woolies or Woolies over Coles, or do we all just go to the one closest to home. I’ve always thought their advertising is just a waste of money. Who would drive further to pick one over the other?
The premier of Victoria fell down and broke his back. Broke his back. Now he is being attacked by Murdoch media for not working.
Because he is on leave with a broken back. You can't make this shit up

Would you say that in Australia these days, being a fully qualified tradesman (or tradeslady) is no longer working-class but basically considered middle-class? More so than perhaps a lot of other countries? A lot of tradies out-earn a lot of traditional middle-class jobs
I just saw a story there were calls by some to stop sending women to Antarctica for work because sexual harrassment is so bad its "unethical". If men can't work without being deviants then they are the ones who bloody need to stay home!
Now Hornsby Councill are trying to claim that the bin stickers are only a problem because they may "cause confusion".
I feel bad for their PR person who has to try and spin this.
As a former nurse, I don't really see how you can "accidentally" give not one, but two doses of a vaccine in limited to supply to 160 private school boys.
Just got 100% for a uni quiz woot!
Sadly, as a single person with few friends, tweeting to the ether is the closest I can get to sharing my successes in life.
Just 8 days until I pick up the keys to my first home… I don’t own a stick of furniture so I’ll be camping on the floor, but you gotta start somewhere!
When this is over I'm going to dust off my backpack and travel the world on a shoe-string like I did when I was 23.
Feel free to come along. We'll sleep in hostels, travel by bus and boat and eat lots of street food and it'll be wonderful
Why lie and say your wife buys covid tests when you are PM? Whatever party you are, I think we all know that you get looked after if you are PM and, left or right, you don't need the wife to do a RAT run down to the local Chemist Warehouse. What a stupid thing to lie about🤦🤦
Just so I am clear on events in my home county - half the country is underwater. We have a mouse plague in Western NSW, a spider-plague in the Mid-North Coast and a wave of jizz of biblical proportions flooding though Parliment House?
I have no boyfriend and no man interested in me. I'm almost 40. BUT when I make a crap joke on Facebook, my little sister, who is the best person ever, always comments "bahaha"
I know people kind of look down at people who live with their parents but I'm 40 looking forward to moving home. I'm done share-housing, I get lonely living alone, I get along with my parents. I'm excited to be a loser 40 year old living with parents! 😅
Surely if we can build stadiums we can build public housing? Doesn’t need to be fancy, just practical, well insulated, with a decent bit of space but nothing wild. Why aren’t we prioritising this? Nothing else functions in society without housing. Nothing
Do you think funerals are for the living or the dead? My friend said it’s for the dead but I say the dead are dead and funerals are for the living to help with their grief and to say good bye. What do you think?
I'm moving back in with my parents in October. I'll be 40 years old. I'm actually looking forward to it. We get along, Mum is the best cook and they have a nice house a stone's throw from the beach
What’s the Americanism you least like to see replacing Aussie words? I don’t like to see bushwalking slowly becoming hiking and bush track becoming hiking trail. What about you?
Vaccine ads globally -"Yay, vaccines are awesome! Let's all get vaccinated and life can go back to being rad".
Vaccine ads in Australia - " If you don't get vaccinated YOU AND EVERYONE YOU LOVE WILL DIE. But we have no vaccines to give you. Lol. Soz."
When men message "what are you wearing?" what the fuck reply are they expecting? Satin pasties with nipple tassels? If I'm home the truth is more like "granny undies that have an old period stain under a loose, ugly old dress that my bra-less tits are happily flopping about in".
Weird how everyone in Vietnam is able to wear a mask without a problem yet all these people in western countries claim they can't breath/it makes them sick ect. Curiouser still is that all these mask aiments seem to only specifically effect those who lean politically to the right
My friend and I were talking about remembering buying some lollies for 5c and another younger friend was like "5 cents! WHAT THE FUCK? Did you live during the Great Depression?"
I don't like when people say audiobooks don't count. For most of human history most people couldn't read and stories were listened to and those stories counted. All stories count, whether you read them or listen to them
How did people in the 1980s have these boozy long lunches then go back to work? I just had two beers with lunch and I'm home and in need of a good lie down
So an ex-boyfriend, (not Australian ) recently said to me Australia hasn't really produced any world-class literature that people outside of Australia have heard of. I was miffed but then couldn't really think of anything other than "The Thornbirds".
Help, please!
Unfollow me for being soppy 😅but I’m 40 years old, if youve followed me for awhile you know I’ve been very unlucky with relationships and have been on countless bad dates, but I am here to say, don’t give up. I have finally found love at this age. First time I’ve been in love
I wonder if the lady who has gone viral for complaining quarantine means she has had to wash her own hair is starting to feel like a bit of a dill at this point?
@ErnozWest
@anneOkeefe7
As a nurse myself, I never expect staff to put themselves in danger, but I feel like they could have moved any other residents out of harms way and just let her wander until she forgot about the knife and dropped it
@ryan_jelinek
@lisa_iannattone
I was living in Vietnam for a lot of the pandemic. Yeah, explaining mask-meltdowns and anti-vac conspiracies to my students was met with odd looks, like "Ummmm, are Westerners okay?"
Dipped my toe back into tinder. Honestly, the sexy nurse trope needs to die!!!!!!!! I’m 41 years old, telling a man I’m a nurse only to hear “I bet you’d look good in a tight nurses uniform”, it just feels old and pathetic. I’ve heard versions of this shite for 20 years!
🤣Peak male delusion. Imagine thinking a 20 year old girl would touch a 70 year old. I remember being 20, we were grossed out when dudes in their early 30s had a crack!
If we can have demountable classrooms why can't we have demountable houses as something, a stop-gap, until more can be built?? We have so much land and anything has to be better than people living in tents and cars!
What do you think it means when a man says he has “old fashion values”? I always think it means he doesn’t clean the bathroom because that’s “women’s work”
Does anyone really think less of the PM for going to Kyle’s wedding? I think
@LiberalAus
came off as a bunch of wowser sooks when they tried to make a fuss about it.
Do the Americans saying “It’s not the guns, it’s mental health!!” realise mental health issues exist globally yet only one country in the world has these kinds of mass shootings so frequently?
Anti-vaxxers were harrasing people in Melbourne who were lining up to get a vaccine. You don't want to get a vaccine? Nobody cares, but fuck off and leave the rest of us alone.
Men piss and moan that it's hard for them to get sex while it's easy for us women. Yeah, easy if by "sex" you mean Barry two-pumps coming around to "pleasure you" by licking the least sensitive part of your vagina for 20 seconds before getting his leg over for a few thrusts
I love my old next-door neighbour. Hes 92 and we often pop over to visit each other. I’m on night shift tonight and he said “well you’ll be tired after work, come over and I’ll make you toast and Vegemite before you go to sleep”
I'm packing up to go back to Sydney and mum goes "so you need to go to the toilet before your go?" 😅 I'm nearly 40 I think past the age where I need to be reminded to go for a wee before a long car trip 😅
Looks like my laptop is stuffed. It’s out of warranty but that don’t mean shit (despite what companies might say). Under Australian consumer law things have to last a reasonable amount of time, and 16 months for an expensive laptop is not reasonable. Time for me to Karen-up!
This idea that women go on dates only for "free food". That we'd get all dressed up and sit with a stranger we have no interest in just so he buys us a meal at a mid-priced restaurant on a Wednesday night. Do some men really think we do this?
Seriously, if you are a bit of a horder, think of those that are going to have to clean your house when you die and get sorted. All that stuff you keep just in case that you never look at or use is going to end up in a skip anyway!!!! (We are cleaning a deceased estate right now)
If you were a kid in the 80s and maybe early 90s you caught the absolute tail end of a time where parents just let kids roam free.
It was an age where parents didn't even want to know where we were a lot of the time and I think we are all better for it.
Kind of morbid and kind of nice question - what's been the best funeral song you've heard? We played Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" at my grandpa's funeral and it was sad and happy and lovely.
@DieMadTerf
Do you reckon if two tough looking blokes were having this conversation hex would have approached them to “educate them”? 😂Something tells me he wouldnt have
What's your opinion on legalising weed in Australia? I think it's pointless having it illegal. Everyone smokes. It's one of those laws on the books but no one cares about, like how it's technically illegal to drive barefoot
Anyone else still RAT testing at the hint of a sniffle? I’m not that worried that I have Covid, I’m worried of having it and passing it on to one of my patients
This year I’m going to write the biography of my Pop who lived through the Great Depression. He travelled Australia by hopping trains and got buy with a mix of farm work and burglary. Before he died he recorded his wild stories on tape. He has some bloody good yarns
The earliest red flag I ignored was him screaming at a young waitress for her making a mistake (easily fixed). I stuck around another 6-weeks or so ‘cause the good times were good, but punching a wall in front of me was the last straw. Bad tempers are not worth the good times
Do people that believe that "natural cures" are best and tout the benefits of herbs instead of modern medicine realise that we tried that for about 100,000 years and everyone was dead by the age of 35?
Just picked up my stuff from my ex’s house and it was sad and awful. Now I’m in a room above a pub, drowning my sorrows on cheap wine. Tomorrow is a new day
Serious question - do you think at least one time, in the whole history of the world, someone told an upset person to, "calm down", and that person said, "Oh right, okay, good idea", and proceeded to relax?
My parents had a dinner party that involved lots of wine & merriment and ended up with Dad pushing one of his mates down the street in a wheelbarrow. They are all in their 60s and 70s, just in case you think there is a point in life that you need to stop acting fun and silly
Mildly freaking out about how much money I’m going to have to put into this house. Maybe I need to start dating a carpenter, and a plumber. Oh and a sparkie and painter….. just some tradie, polyamory group love thing until the house is sorted 😅
