Australia's hiring over 30k people to work on the census, many positions are short term with flexible hours. I'm going to apply! I'm a civics nerd who really misses having a (paying) job 🤓

someone should have written "bodega," although this guy wouldn't know what that was either
Sidebar: if you ever are in the unfortunate position of needing to rid yourself of a bad-fit spouse, highly recommend flying to their hometown on your work's dime to cover a massive sporting event immediately after filing the motion, if circumstances allow 😏
I know I'm doing blue sky wrong but I can't bring myself to comment much on The News anymore.
It was my birthday, I had filed for divorce from the first guy I married, covered the Olympics, went home and adopted my soulmate dog, Conor Dogberst. Anyway I'm not crying.
My nostalgia train is only going back as far as 2012 when a little band I absolutely loved as a teenager, Blur, performed this song in Hyde Park for the London Olympics 🥰 music.youtube.com/watch?v=6Lj7...
She was not right for us, and I know she's going to be happier doing a lot of jobs on a farm, but damn I miss my dog 😭
Next please put a tram on my street 🥰
Half the price, twice the frequency: Melbourne's train overhaul keeps getting bigger share.google/NTMnuPG36ZHx...
Lost a dear friend to pancreatic cancer a few years ago. This news hits different. Fuck cancer. mRNA research needs all the funding it can get.
😯 no way! I need to read more about this, amazing.
Perfect Day is also a perfect song 😍
2026 can really take a hike
We've decided to rehome our dog. She bit my arm last night pretty hard. This isn't an isolated incident.
She's a gorgeous dog but her mental and physical stimulation needs are just insurmountable for us 💔 And I prefer my skin intact tyvm.
Watching So Long, Marianne, I realise I've got no idea about Leonard Cohen's actual love life but can recite the word to every single song 🥰
I also really want to hang out in Hydra someday. A gorgeous Mediterranean island that's also car-free? Yesss.
Imagine a society that cared for those who struggled instead of kicking them in ass.

That’s a pretty convenient path for a motherfucker who is partially responsible for bombing a school that killed 180 schoolgirls. You don’t get to pretend that morality shouldn’t be involved in politics and pretend to be a Catholic leader yourself.
OH at the playground: imagine if your name was *AI*!
He also heard the guys in Pearl Jam wanted to be famous. Poor guy, my partner, singing like a famous cool guy in the late 90s, but saddled with Tall Poppy Syndrome 💔
The most contentious band from this era in my house is Pearl Jam. I'm into them, my partner hates them. Note, my partner was lead singer in a band and apparently people thought he sung like Eddie Vedder.
Revisiting old nirvana lyrics brings me back to being 15 years old and wondering, did he really say he wants to eat my cancer? having no idea what it meant 😂 but getting the gist.
I still wish I had written a line like:
with eyes so dilated I become your pupil
Possum sitting on a wooden fence at night, not bothered at all by proximity to people or dogs.
My dog earlier yesterday at the beach in Port Melbourne Australia, prior to her afternoon with magpie staring contest. She's an Australian Shepherd puppy almost 8 months old.
Good morning bsky. Our local possum dropped in on me last night, after our local magpie spent 5❗hours tormenting the dog. We live in inner city Melbourne, Australia just won't be tamed.
Actually, screw it, I'm gonna be all in on 90s nostalgia. I had an awesome time, saw Nirvana play at the NY Coliseum, moved to San Francisco, had a job where I picked the shockwave site of the day, there was no social media, and Trump was just another local jerk real estate developer.
Though I do not buy Naomi Watts as Jackie O
"Before this show, I harboured absolutely no nostalgia for smoking in offices or anywhere else. Now, apparently, scenes of people blowing smoke indoors make me sigh with sadness."

I feel so seen.
Ok I'm bored and want to procrastinate work so let's do a thread instead. Wanna hear a story?
Alright then, story it is. So gather around, children, because now we're going to talk about the most important science book you've probably never heard of.
Ready? Off we go, then.
Dying at "the antecedents of cod" 😂
Do you think the US VP calls his wife OfJD in private?
I'm still a US citizen, but given that I am planning on staying put here, in the land of universal healthcare and not bombing Iran, and the depressing absurdity, ignorance, and idiocy of the US government... renouncing is starting to look interesting 🤔😔
Tfw your wife needs convincing not to jump out of an airplane
🤬
