Naarm artist. Frustratingly curious. Just Say No to empire, not even once. "It's a spectrum". I know I can’t spell, you’re just going to have to deal with it.
There are people out there who work HR for Foxconn. No one makes them do it, they are just cool with it.

This year alone Labor added another $6 billion to the defence budget for AUKUS nucear submarines. Now they want workers to pay for it by cutting $5.6 billion from the public service? Thats 10,000 public sector jobs, cuts to health, education, the NDIS - services already stretched to breaking point

"Use ChatGPT as a source" and "AI isn't perfect so just double check it" are two mutually exclusive statements that exist in this person's head without conflict only because there are no other thoughts in there, giving these two plenty of space

“Seppo is an abbreviation of Septic Tank, which is rhyming slang for Yank. As I understand it it came into use during WW2 when American soldiers stationed in Australia where often referred to as "Overpaid, over sexed, and over here!".

Many stories of yanks during WW11. Not popular. #auspol

#FindsFriday This fabulous little figurine of a woman was found in Egypt from ~3000BC

But based on the pose she was probably carved in Mesopotamia

Buuuut she's made from Lapis Lazuli from Afghanistan!

Quite a journey!

Something ancient and wonderful for the weekend! 🤩

The world’s oldest known sculpture of a horse!

This tiny figurine was carved from mammoth ivory by an Ice Age artist some 40,000 years ago!

NSW Police proudly wasting millions on this next-to-useless police vessel “Nemesis” which has been cruising Newcastle Harbour trying to intimidate climate protestors this weekend.

Your tax dollars being flushed. Ohhh and Labor wants to buy a new one for a cool $46.5 million.

I’ve lived off my art for my whole adult life. Yet i am constantly surprised by how little art is considered within its environment. Context is everything.

@iwriteok.bsky.social Shakespeare wrote for common people, who were largely illiterate. Those words he is credited with inventing are more likely to be slang and phrases of the day that just weren’t written down yet.
