Yeah look. I generally can't watch him walking and climbing across the truss during the live shows. Too scary. But he loves it, and each to their own!

He and his colleagues do take every precaution... except on the very odd occasion when they're doing some kind of casual unsupervised gig and they don't 🙃 (fortunately pretty rare these days)

*barges in* HELLO my partner is a rigger for circus and live performance arts and the heights he routinely works at are absolutely WILD. I cannot let myself think about it.

Ohhhh thank you. Our furry companions are so significant, and I was unprepared for the grief. But it's been a couple of months now and that time has helped greatly. I hope you're well xo

I have a new user experience enemy and it's the "click again to exit" prompt. How fucking arrogant. Yes, I hit "back" because I did, in fact, wish to exit. Stick that up your bounce rate, idiot e-commerce retailers

In my first ever comms role, my manger (who was an exceptionally talented comms professional) would insert commas like most of us breathe. Took me forever to realise she'd been trained up in broadcast journalism so they were *literally for breathing pauses*, regardless of intended medium. Bless her!

She was my faithful best friend through so many major life events and difficult times. I don't have words for how grateful I am that she adopted me. Rest well, my lovely good girl. Thank you for everything you've meant to me. I love you always, and I'll see you soon. xoxo

Misty came into my life as a stray rescue. But as they say, she rescued me - from things I was oblivious to until she appeared. Most notably, her sudden and unexpected appearance in my life helped pull me out of a long-term episode of major depressive disorder.

A week ago I farewelled Misty. After 14 years of her unwavering love and companionship, I feel utterly lost and heartbroken without her - quiet devastation doesn't begin to describe it. While I knew saying goodbye for now would be painful, I was somehow still unprepared.

I absolutely believe your assessment. My employer was strictly psychosocial disability supports, so a different set of professional skills. But was (rightly) very strict with minimum qualifications required for any support role.

About 6 years ago I worked for a large, very reputable, exceptionally good NFP org offering services in the NDIS space. Only last year did I learn that NDIS registration is *not a requirement* for service providers to seek payment for NDIS services. Could have knocked me down with a feather.

Here’s 10 journalist Amelia Brace fact-checking Pauline Hanson’s claim that it cost $300M to pursue a case against accused war criminal Ben Roberts-Smith. When Hanson made the claim on Sky News, she was left unchallenged.

A Jon Kudelka cartoon showing then-PM Julia Gillard in wet weather gear inside a lighthouse with an apparatchik, switching to Off the lighthouse lamp, which says LIGHT ON THE HILL. Gillard says "It was attracting the boats."

I have many, many favourite Kudelka cartoons but this, from 2011, is possibly one of the best Aus pol cartoons ever drawn.
Scene is Julia Gillard and Chris Bowen (then Min for Immigration) in a lighthouse with "Light on the Hill: written under the bulb.
Gillard is turning the light off, saying 'It was attracting the boats"
