Should you be feeling that 2026 is irretrievably terrible just keep in mind that thanks to the beneficience of Daniel Andrews we were spared from having to have the Commonwealth Games in Victoria this year.
Ooh I love to watch The Box. These are scenes from episode 334, went to air in June 1975, starring Judy Nunn, Steven J Spears, Fred Betts, Jacqueline Kott, Peter Regan, Tony Barry, Paul Karo, Barrie Barkla, John Stanton, Ken James, Tracy Mann and heaps of other deadset legends

Please enjoy like and share my Booktok about the upcoming award winning media publication SNOGUBBENS ADVENTURE, hottest pick for book club season. Due to library mixup I printed 40 copies at 20c each therefore my media empire will make 200% capitalist profit on this, setting new records for Art!

Fucked up and went to the library 90 minutes before opening time so decided to check in on how things are these days with Melbourne’s most important physical reminder of the heritage and commemoration corner it’s backed itself into.

It’s marshmallow test season for Taylor and Hastie, I’m looking forward to finding out who loses (first [they’ll both get their turn]).

Bwahaha. Researching JA fandom in 2009.
Thought I had lost this photo. The dress finally went to the op shop last year. I used to wear it occasionally particularly when I felt like I was being got at. Last time I wore it was to East Brunswick Coles in winter 2020 lockdown

Right. Got that off my chest. Snogubbens Adventure, 16 page comic strip about what I think about when someone on the internet tells me that Hitler, like me, was a vegetarian. Designed to be colour printed on a municipal photocopier for 40c 🤓

As Nick Reece must know, the ‘pioneer’ monument pushed down in central Melbourne overnight was an ugly, boring, crumbling, radically disintegrating object, not repairable, and the sensible thing to do would be to reuse its plinth for something else
