TFW you are the one who organises the loan, executes the loan, is the larger shareholder in the loan, and when the loan documents come through are the person listed as secondary stakeholder on the loan after your male partner. The patriarchy is real and very fucking boring.

For anyone who saw my discussion on @BreakfastNews , think about the artists who literally donated their income to bushfire relief, weeks before having their income vanish for what is now 15 months and counting. Artists always step up. They need our support.

Absolutely big f*** off hugs to everyone in Melbourne today. We've just hit a record: the world's longest lockdown, reaching 235 days. We're rinsed, we're spent, we miss life as we knew it, but we're here. And the light is there. The light is there. Much love. x

Feeling like all the presenters who you grew up with are leaving triple j? I get it. triple j is a youth station. Our very existence is about renewal. Constantly aiming to entertain and inform 18-24 year old Australians. Older than that? @DoubleJRadio is tailor made for you.

I'm on week 7 of couch to 5k (something I started doing during the last/final Melbourne lockdown to grab hold of the days somehow) and I hit an 18 min jog this morning and it felt easier to keep going than stop and for someone who has always struggled with jogging, I'm stoked. :)

Here’s a tip: tweeting anything about coronavirus & city based outbreaks may likely come back to bite you. It’s a virus. It’s around for a while. We’re in a pandemic. Who knows what will happen over the next year or more until we get a vaccine (if we even do)? Be smart, and kind.
