Disability activist, feminist, exhausted. Love books, musical theatre. How many social media thingies is this now? I knit, garden, read, roll my eyes at politicians, yell at ableists, avoid cold weather, back up people making the world better, etc.

AKA Twice Baked Potatoes in some parts of the world. Whatever they are called, they are delicious and should be tried at least once.

At one point I knew so many Sam/anthas (so MANY Gen X Samanthas) that I put the first letter of their last name in front. JSam, CSam, GSam etc

So envious I could SPIT. It's one of my favourite film musicals, but I have yet to see a live version. If I was ever OBSCENELY rich I would spend a LOT of money shuttling back and forth from Australia to London just for theatre.

If you use the alt-text to just type in random garbage or make a joke, "I don't know what to put here, haha," stop being a dick and do it right or don't do it at all. Alt-text is an accessibility function that helps people with vision issues. You're saying you don't care enough about others to try.

If parents put their child in this situation they would be - rightfully - raked over the coals, and possibly convicted. But let the government do it... fucking CRICKETS. And the only consequences are felt by the victim. 😡😡😡

Chilled pea soup, using frozen peas, onion, garlic, chicken/vegetable stock. Cook it all up, whiz it in a blender, chill. It turns an amazing bright green colour after blending, and you can add lots of things to it. Delicious 😋

If we are the authorities on the oppressions we are dealing with, then people in power would have to listen to us, and that would be The Worst Thing In The WORLD!!! /sarcastic fainting.

I know it’s not cool or hip or whatever to like Hannah Gadsby anymore, but the most seen I have ever felt by my mom was watching the bit in Douglas about whether you can eat the box. That was 3000% me when I was a kid and we were both just delighted.

Hey fellow late Gen X/Early Millennial Aussies, If you're between 45-50, follow the link to get a free bowel cancer screening kit. The incidence of bowel cancer in younger people is increasing, so it's worth checking for peace of mind. Treatments and outcomes are better if caught early.

Everyone who worked on the 1922 film, Nosferatu, is now dead. Cursed film? Maybe. But you know what else? None of them read an Alan Baxter book either. I'm not saying it's definitely connected, I'm just asking if you want to take that chance.

Cauliflower cheese. My fellow white Kiwi/Aussie compatriots, HOW MUCH MONEY IS BIG CAULIFLOWER BRIBING YOU WITH TO KEEP PERPETUATING THIS HORROR??? Seriously. This disgusting dish should have stopped being made in the 80s. We deserve every bit of food mockery we get.

You are NOT weak. Hanging on even when your brain tells you that you would be better off dead takes extraordinary strength. It's so hard, I have been there too. Just get through the next minute and then the minute after that. Then repeat. 💜

This summer will mark a year into my project to read some of the hundreds of books I've bought, started and abandoned reading over the years. It has taught me something that feels significant. /1
