Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It's a bacteria that causes plague rather than a virus. Yes, I'm being pedantic! 2160
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It is a problem. Family with two parents working, already having trimmed down as much as possible, now struggling to find extra money for takeaway to celebrate a special occasion. So many working class Australians are now effectively slaves - working to simply survive with nothing left for joy. 000
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 17/09/2026It's capitalism. It was never going to be sustainable in the long term. It's reached the point where the death wobbles have started. The people at the back of the capitalism bus are being thrown around the most but it is now a rough ride for everyone but the very few left at the front. 140
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Well, they could stop paying the men to play community sport to make it cheaper for the kids. Just a thought. 000
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Looking at my tax return, thousands of $$ handed to a corrupt foreign government for obsolete killing machines (to protect us from our main trading partner) that will never eventuate. Peanuts for environment as thousands of birds die suffering on our beaches and we are told to simply watch on. 😭😭 0174
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Pretty sure it is the same with Woolies orders and it is clearly stated policy. I generally order on Tuesday night at the end of the pricing week for delivery Thursday. I know if I open my order to make changes on Wednesday the pricing will change to the current week and I will lose the specials. 010
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Just flipped over my calendar to find your photo will be looking over my dining table for the month! 010
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Mate, if you want to argue on bluesky you need to offer more than personal insults. My favourite part is you boasting about how advanced your country is based on *check notes* petrol tank size of cars... ...then go on to use the imperial system and describe rooftop solar as 'unusual'. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 100
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 03/07/2026In summary: *You comment on EVs despite having no personal experience *You drive very little but value range as the key feature of a car *You feel cars are best kept idle in a garage to avoid depreciation *You don't know what FF is, but parrot their propaganda Thanks for the 🤣. I have enjoyed! 110
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I drive over 30000k a year. I have solar panels. My EV would be cleaner than an equivalent ICE within months. You wanted a study showing that - you got it. I drive my car to get from A to B. Depreciation does not define the value of my car. It's neither a status symbol nor an investment. 100
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 03/07/2026www.reuters.com/business/aut... Drive 30000k a year and charge with solar and break even is in months. Reuters study.reuters.comWhen do electric vehicles become cleaner than gasoline cars?You glide silently out of the Tesla (TSLA.O) showroom in your sleek new electric Model 3, satisfied you're looking great and doing your bit for the planet. 100
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Producing an ICE is also far from clean. Studies show that the point that an EV becomes cleaner is after a few months of driving. Driving an EV makes you quickly realise how filthy ICE are. In the future ICE will be banned from underground carparks, school zones and CBDs because they are so dirty. 100
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Unfortunately you do have a pollution problem. Given you have a 4x4, you are producing more pollution than the average person driving. It is causing problems for you, the people around you and ultimately all life on the planet. The fact you do not care about your impact is a reflection on you. 100
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 29/06/2026A bigger tank makes fuel efficiency worse. Hardly a sign of being 'advanced'. You are jealous because you have to pay $$$ to fill up your large car which you bought to make yourself feel more important. And I power up my little car with sunshine 🌞 Do you want to chat about fumes and emissions? 100
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Yeah champ. You said 'small' car. Now you are talking 4x4. Maybe you need to state the size of your tank. Corolla is 50L 200
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 29/06/2026A fuel-efficient Toyota Corolla, the most popular small car in my part of the world, won't get you 800 kilometres let alone miles 🤣🤣🤣 Don't know what FF is? They absolutely own you. 200
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 29/06/2026I've owned ICE, Plug-in Hybrid and now EV. I drive a lot of kilometres every year - urban, highway, dubious tracks out bush. I am speaking from experience. You are just spouting FF propaganda, trying to slow down the transition. Truth - all ICE cars seems shit after you have driven EV. 221
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 29/06/2026What planet do you live on? You sound like a bot! Of course I can afford a better car now than when I bought my ICE. I'm older. 😆 Rather than shit, I would call my old ICE economical. I always choose small & efficient over fancy. And my service costs are cheaper in the EV. That's just reality. 110
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 28/06/2026You didn't. Less maintenance in an EV than ICE. Battery replacement myth is pushed by FF disinformation propaganda. Tyre wear true but by small percentage points. Again FF clutching at straws. Range is now nearly equivalent and will soon surpass. My current EV has the same range as my last ICE 130
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 18/06/2026There is a lot in this article. The fact that she considers an island with no people or no 'high-end' tourist facilities as worthless. Wanting to roll out a welcome mat to war criminals. But, seriously, why the hell would you consider 'giving' a trillionaire anything for free? #auspol 1101
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 06/06/2026This afternoon on the way home from work I dropped into the petrol station to fill my car up. Just an incredibly boring little task that I have repeated hundreds and hundreds of times over the last 30 or so years. Surreal experience to stand at the bowser and think it might be the very last time. 060
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Probably. And they don't all have short life spans. The one that came with my house died when it was nearly 20 years old...and that included surviving a major bushfire. 010
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 30/05/2026I doubt we will run out of fuel. We will no doubt keep stealing fuel away from the poorer south East Asian countries to keep going with 'business as usual'. I worry about the people in Bangladesh and Myanmar, etc. Keeping our oil buffer up is likely making life worse for them. 120
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Harsh on poor mozzies to be grouped in with the others. They are an important food source for lots of critters. If they all vanished overnight, I think it would create more problems than it solved. 000
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 28/05/2026I don't know about that. In groups I have been where there is a 'past president' position, you can stand down from the role and leave it vacant. It sounds like she still could be receiving communication from them and have access to info available to the board, even if she is not actively voting. 120
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 17/05/2026How sad for the goats. Bred for social media likes at the direct expense of their welfare. People are crap. 010
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Apparently I am classed as a 'winner' in this year's budget because I will get a $250 tax break in 2 years time... Given all the fossil fuel industry support and defence spending, how much higher do you think my insurance premiums will be in 2 years time??? So much 'winning' #auspol #budget 0132
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 11/05/2026You benefit a little with each red button press but at the expense of unseen others. But if enough people keep pressing red, the entire thing collapses. Civilisation crumbles and the world is destroyed. This is actually happening and people are still pushing red. #climatecrisis #collapse 010
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 11/05/2026The blue button/red button discussion is so depressing. People totally out of touch with the importance of community and what being human means. Is it really a hypothetical situation? Think lots of smaller buttons with incremental results. Capitalism whispers in your ear to keep pressing red. 1/2 110
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Has anyone else had their Instagram password appear on the dark web? It's the only place I used that particular password. 010
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 08/05/2026For now. Cannot help but feel this is the beginning of the end for them. 130
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Palestinian (& Lebanese) children do not have an idyllic childhood. They do not have the benefit of going to school protected by security. They are victims of horrific war crimes by a brutal regime. If you choose to support genocide don't get upset when people point out you are not a good person. 020
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Tailgating is never a smart thing to do. Tailgating in roo country after dusk during a cost of living crisis seems a particularly moronic move. #rantover 010
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 04/05/2026The quarantine centre at Mickleham was opened in 2015. It is where all dog and cats imported to Australia go for their quarantine when imported - so imports from most countries. But also accomodates bees, plants, horses, etc. The human stuff was built later on adjacent spare land. 110
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 29/04/2026To let any foreign government be successful in restricting the democratic freedoms of Australians is shocking. To let a foreign power that is currently committing horrendous crimes against humanity do so is disgraceful. We need to push back and call it out. Great article. #auspol 051
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 28/04/2026And what about the farmers not even in the US that are also getting crushed by rising fertiliser costs made worse by the idiots in Washington? They did not vote for the orange obscenity. They are far more deserving of sympathy. 0230
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Yes, it was definitely self-sabotage but one day I figured I would get lucky 010
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Wordle 1,774 1/6* 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Finally! And yes, that has been my starting word for years. I figured it would come up eventually and today I celebrate 🍾 150
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Does this mean poorer countries have less because we have snaffled more in this crisis? I don't want to go for a weekend country drive if it means a kid in Bangladesh starves to death... 000
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Is this writer as scared as a paramedic working in Lebanon? As a reporter covering the genocide in the Middle East? As a starving child in a tent in Palestine waiting for a bomb to fall on them? Enough of the constant crying of victimhood. Stop Israel's crimes and the world is safer for everybody. 0281
Kathy Mac @kmac-79.bsky.social · 13/04/2026It's such an isolated population and such a small niche ecosystem. This is awful 😭 010
