Thrilled to be part of a bold new experiment of @BrainJarPress
We just announced pre-orders for @BrainJarPress's second release in February (and our first foray into crime/thriller). It's a very *transitional* release for us. /1

Cracking match and lovely to see better coordination for @brisbaneroar women’s BUT the @wswanderersfc Head Coach didn’t exactly cover himself in glory yelling in anger and carrying on like a pork chop. He clearly hasn’t got the message about women’s sport culture #BRIvWSW

Hey @BIRKENSTOCKUSA can you tell Birkenstock designers/manufacturers to stop stamping the size on to the upper sole of the left shoe? It rubs and causes a blister so I can’t wear them anymore. Lemme know kthxbai #Birkenstock

Fixed it “…it may be unethical to continue to send W̶o̶m̶e̶n̶ MEN to the stations if the sexual harassment can't be stamped out”

“The arts sector contributes around $15 billion annually to our GDP. That’s about the same contribution to the economy as the sport sector, but it provides about 70,000 more jobs,”
“Under the proposal, artists and arts workers would be paid $772.60 per week for one year.” Great idea, hell yes.
