Does this surprise any Tasmanian? This government is corrupt to the core and only out to enrich themselves and their mates. Then, when the debt is too big to service, the state will become a federal problem and they can wash their greedy evil hands and hearts of us all and fly away. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

I flinched at this but I think it’s true for a lot of marriages in, at least, western countries (which is my only real experience).

Ruby has ruptured her second ACL, 13 months on from the first. We are 5 days post surgery. The first 3 days were a nightmare but we have pain meds sorted and a chariot for our princess. Now if we could get some sleep…..

While I have you here, let me also link to an article I wrote years ago about how to talk to your daughters about sexual violence—without blaming them, shaming them, or restricting their freedoms.

This is the bit from Nyadol Nyuon that sent RW trolls into a raging meltdown last week, by exposing One Nation & Trump’s racist anti immigrant agenda, & calling out the selective outrage from anti immigrants, who won’t say things like “we don’t want ppl from the UK”💥 Spot on.

Honestly I don’t care how much they rip off anyone hateful enough to want to run as a candidate for them. You want to stand for racism, division and making other people rich? You gotta commit to the bit. We know you’re a racist, now show us you’ll make us rich. Play stupid games, as they say……

This is important by itself, but for the #Covid community it explains why the ongoing deliberate ignorance is promulgated. People don’t WANT to hear, just like with climate change. And in the same way we hurtle towards the point of HAVING to know. Just like climate, the damage is ongoing.

This is not criticism of Jim, just a general comment. The research is clear: male violence against women stems from an attitude of entitlement. We live in a society where men's words and needs are still more valued. Most men *don't* take that to a dark place.... but almost all men benefit from it.

This is what my socials are like. FYI people in their 30s are NOT perimenopausal. Kids are NOT usually “sick all the time”. That “mystery” thing your GP can’t diagnose? Most likely Covid related. But I guess you won’t ask about that, will you? 😷😷😷

Facts can be so uncomfortable. @dove333.bsky.social blocked me for offering facts in response to their “but don’t be mean to Ed Sheeran” post. Sadly I didn’t see their reply first tho 🤣🤣🤣
think you'll find the problem is that he has previous spoken out about Brexit, raised money for Ukraine and publicly supported Jeremy Corbyn. That's is NOT being apolitical. It's being a hypocrite.

If you are an #Austen fan, would this make you interested in my book? Also are there typos or things you would change? Thanks friends and #BookBluesky
Flyer design for my book promotion 
Text says " Jane Austen questions answered!
Who designed Pemberley?
What is a wilderness anyway?
Who is Humphry Repton?
What is the Picturesque really about?
Why is Mr Knightley a fan of enclosure?
Who is the “him” who Marianne says wrote with “taste and elegance”?
What is so good about owning timber?
Who is the real Emma Woodhouse?
Why is Fanny Price so hard to like?
then a photo of the book cover showing title - Jane Austen's English Verdure
further text says out February 2027 at all good bookstores or ask your local library

Violent patriarchy. The leveraging of Lindsay Clancy’s story to demonize all women is violent patriarchy. Society’s silence on the scores of women who die at the hands of men while hyper focusing on the actions of this one woman is violent patriarchy. We have to call that out. 5/5

#Publishing and #Book people! What does this message my friend received about her pre order of my book mean really? I refuse to believe that it means there is actual demand for a #JaneAusten book so what are they saying? Did they only order one copy? I’m a first time author, have pity!
:
Based on this update from the publishers, we now expect to deliver the books to your address by the following dates:
11th March 2027
Jane Austen's English
Verdure x1
You may be wondering why the dates above are later than the official market release date of the books.
This is because the publisher will not have adequate stock available on hand to supply us the books prior to the release date. We have to wait for them to import more copies into the country to meet demand.
