A fitting send off for Uncle Paul. A lot of stories shared and a lot of love on show at Wisos. One his friend’s son commemorated the event in paint on the wall near MacCabe Park. #Wollongong

Apparently it was ride to work day - didn’t know but still rode to work, and home again. #Adelaide

Painting that captures an abstract landscape. There is a sailboat and an indistinguishable landmark. But the painting seems to capture a perfect light.

[Australian language analysis - contains swear words] Every now and then, something perfectly sums up one of the weird facets of Australian culture that is almost impossible to explain. This was shared on Bluesky and thought about you guys here over on Masto.
Screenshot from Bluesky user Hannah Shelley - @hannahshelley.site "Here's a sentiment analysis of the most versatile word in the Australian vocabulary. Hope this is helpful to our international friends." image and alt text included next. A scientific sentiment analysis chart mapping Australian uses of the word 'cunt' across valence (positive to negative) and intensity axes. The diagram plots 16 variations including 'sick cunt', 'mad cunt', (very positive, high intensity) 'hard cunt', 'top cunt' and 'lucky cunt' (positive, high intensity), 'good cunt', 'clever cunt', 'funny cunt' (positive, lower intensity), 'soft cunt', 'lazy cunt', 'dumb cunt' (slightly negative, low intensity), 'dodgy cunt, gronk cunt, shit cunt and dead cunt', (negative, high intensity) and 'dog cunt' (very negative, high intensity). The neutral form 'CUNT' sits at the origin.
