I'm starting to think the worst part of dying young would be missing out on how fucked up everything gets in your absence.

Family, friends - I swear the drama is next level

So the man who kept his files in the shitter at Mar-A-Lago has had his former national security adviser charged for illegal storage of confidential information. Its true what they say, every act is a confession or a projection with this clown. #Trump #johnbolton

Why are people suddenly sending me voice messages? Are your fingers broken? I do not wish for ten minute monologues. This ain't Shakespeare

The messiest day in our house is the day AFTER the cleaner has been. They move through like locusts. Its like they want to make up for lost time 😭

My parents tried to tell me my kids are 'so much worse' than my brother and I were, to which I replied 'my 2 yr old doesn’t stalk the supermarket aisles saying 'fuck fuck fuck' (my brother did) and they had ZERO recollection and tried to deny it! Self-protection - adults' memories are suspect, too

My best friend died a month ago. My 2yo keeps saying, 'Philippa dead mum. In the ground. So sad.' Thanks for the persistent reminders, kiddo 🫠

Yuh. Seems like I come to BlueSky when I want to be depressed about the state of the world and Threads for the laughs, these days

Just having a quick midnight check in with my anxiety. Yep, still there.

I was sold on Ramona but my husband was a firm no. It's not even crazy? We have Edie Pip instead.

I know I'm petty but watching Peter Dutton lose is my kink. I just hope Labor does more with the gift it's received this term. Albo needs to find his backbone again on Gaza, housing, the environment to be a truly inspirational leader.

I just found out my son goes to preschool with a boy named Vivian, and I'm irrationally excited by this fact #theyoungones

Like the time my mother suggested my next career step, after newly-admitted lawyer, was judge. Sure, will get right on it

Once again, I was left to wonder: was Pete Hegseth signal chatting military attack plans to everyone but me??

Am I the one that’s insecure, or is it his communication practices that are insecure?

I know it's not the point of the post but a 9am birthday party?? I have kids (2,4) in Australia and that start time would be sacrilegious!

People saying someone in the Trump government should lose their job like they still don't know who Trump is. He's more likely to blame Goldberg and either allege illegal access, or threaten sanctions for failing to disclose he was on the chat. I'd expect an Executive Order on media obligations

These people are clearly not up for the job.

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social. theatln.tc/AmsjsuT6

I am hosting a bunch of great writers at the Newcastle Writers Festival (Oz) in April (it's my first time), and the program just came out 😻

Can you die from anxiety? Asking for my brain.

Abstalavista @abstalavista.bsky.social · Feb 5

My clever friend wrote a piece about why Trump can't just take over Gaza:

theconversation.com/trump-wants-...

Trump wants the US to ‘take over’ Gaza and relocate the people. Is this legal?

Trump’s vision of owning Gaza and moving the Palestinians would violate a number of tenets of international law.

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · Feb 3

Congress must take action to restore the rule of law.

When a toddler is in trouble they often laugh, confused and unable to process complex emotions. I raise this for no particular reason at all, Adrian #mafsau
