Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Please tell this also to the Australian libs-mockers, although they themselves are more likely to be in the so-called Liberal Party, or intending to vote for the dreaded Trumpian One Nation. 010
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I am always captivated by paintings of empty boats, because of the Zen parable on just that! 010
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 12/10/2026This is why religious indoctrination before the age of consent should be called the fourth form of child abuse, after the physical, emotional and sexual (see Richard Dawkins); also, where you find on form, you usually find at least one or two of the others! 020
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 09/10/2026More boomers than my son's gen X, imo, because I cannot recall him ever learning cursive, whereas i, as a boomer, did! 000
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Re Christa Pike and a botched execution: have they not heard of Babbacombe Lee and the English court's recognition of divine intervention in the event of a failed execution?

Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Cats have been getting away with this malarkey for way too long! 010
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Redactions and withholdings are by definition never sufficient 🙄 000
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 06/10/2026...and way better than the TV series, which I had to abandon, as keepiing up with the two of them was doing my head in! 010

Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Well, photography is also supposed to be an art, but I agree! 010

Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Feels much the same in Australia, and here there are those who want to blare their own alarm as well! 🙄😳 010
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Or how the United States and Kingdom are not really united? 🙄 000
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Try these two white, conservative she-bitches down under, the orange one on the left being our wannabe Trump and the plus-sized one on the (political) right, being our richest person: 010
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Such a little bird, so much attitude, deservedly popular! 💘😎 000
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 22/09/2026So nice; now I am going to suggest a banned books table, or shelf, also at my next public library Book Chat! 031
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Nice; great idea, should be in every bookstore... and public library! 000
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 22/09/2026What is this "British politics" of which you speak? Surely charities and cultural institutions are far worthier recipients of funding. 000
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Now I want to know why she and her date were asked to leave the performance! 120
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 21/09/2026...and even they are losing faith in their own sharia? 000
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Our PM Albo is also in the US at this time, re AI, so hopefully he will contribute something, showing Australian leadership in setting up the guardrails? 010
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 21/09/2026OK... but never heard of them, sorry; I was thinking more William Blake and the likes of the Beat poets, Jack Kerouac et al... different generation, I guess? Different generation, same "Jerusalem"... now there is a poem in that, somewhere! 110
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 20/09/2026...and Australia too, please, since we are already "associate members" of Eurovision 🙏 101
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Writing a (good, or even great) novel does not consist in compiling a certain number of words, imo... presumably any dumbass AI bot is well and truly capable of that, in a fraction of the time! 000
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Never mind the US; spare a thought for the rest of the world (I realise "rest of the world" is a concept many Americans may struggle to get their heads around!). 000
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Might as well shut the stable door after the horse has bolted! 🙄 010
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 20/09/2026...but not well done, Trump, because he is now officially a dictator, if he wasn't before!static.klipy.comDenzel Washington: This Is No Democracy, It's a DictatorshipALT: Denzel Washington: This Is No Democracy, It's a Dictatorship 000
Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I am pleased for you too, but isn't poetry more for savouring or declaiming (if not actually singing), rather than binge-reading? Which poets were you reading, dare I ask, because some of the greatest poets are actually songwriters, e.g. Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, to name a couple. 120

Claire @pedersen85.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Well, for 4c a day, or whatever that is at current market value, I figure our live- and other-streamed national broadcaster, the ABC, is still more worth it, than any of your other streaming services! youtu.be/xoEHf21KgFkyoutu.beClassic ABC News theme returns to the airwaves | ABC NewsYouTube video by ABC News (Australia) 020
