Had a stress dream that I had a job interview with Tarocash and the only prep I'd done was trying to memorise @dieworkwear.bsky.social 's entire post history.

All these tech guys going 'look, you don't need musicians anymore! We can just generate whatever music you want!' and it's the fucking POPE who has to explain to them that art occupies a space not replaceable by the products of machines.

The inflation problem. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social and @sydmorningherald.bsky.social
A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing a single mother, recently made homeless after defaulting on her mortgage repayments (as evidenced by visible paperwork), setting up a new home in a tent with her two young children. Surrounded by their essentials stored in storage and plastic bags, the baby crawls on the grass, his older brother heats some food over a camp stove, and his exhausted-looking mother blows up an air mattress. Watching her, the boy says, "Is this what they means when they say 'inflation is the problem,' Mum?"

Ok so 2 things keep popping up over and over for me lately in all sorts of wildly different contexts and they are the word "samasara" and references to the X Files episode Home. I don't know what sort of portent this is but gentle reader I do NOT like it.

I'm applying for a transcriptionist job because it's sitting down in aircon and I can type pretty well but they want a FOUR PAGE cover letter. WTF, how do you stretch "I need a job and am not completely insane, please take pity on me" to four pages??

I found a magic lamp, and when I rubbed it an AI genie emerged and offered me three wishes. It repeated my first wish back to me, got it wrong, apologised, got it wrong again, then everything went dark and now I’m inside the lamp and the genie is out there pretending to be me. Send help.

Apparently I don't have a very clear mental image of how much 500g is because I am now the proud owner of a truly unhinged quantity of food-grade lavender. Tea. Sweets. Cakes. Possibly salads. It's gonna be in everything.

Dominant curriculum. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social and @sydmorningherald.bsky.social
A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing a classroom at the front of which a female teacher has written a Gloria Steinem quote on the whiteboard - '"We need to raise our sons to be more like our daughters. We need to relieve them of this burden of the idea that to be masculine they have to be superior, which is what they get addicted to, and why both racism and sexism are crimes I call superiority crimes." - Gloria Steinem 1934 - 2026.' At the back of the class are two boys looking at manosphere content on a smartphone preaching such things as, "Men are the real victims", "Women belong in the kitchen" and "The best way to keep your woman in line is with a whip." Other students in class react variously: some enticed and amused, others unsure, and others (the girls) clearly uncomfortable. The student holding the phone says to the teacher, "Make us a sandwich, Miss."
