On the 57 tram, a man clearly inebriated pulls one of several bottles of wine from his bag and skulls it down. Another man gets on with a can of Canadian club. They have made a makeshift pub amongst the seats.
OMG a recording of myself started playing while I was in a different room and I was like “who the fuck is this aggressively cheerful person having a chat directly outside my open window?!”
My new favourite tag on VicPol vehicles is “fighting crime does not pay”. Just, let your mind wander with where this one might take you.
I could have worked from home today. I chose not to yesterday when I left my laptop at the office. Now I’ve forgotten my necessary medication at home and woop that’s gonna suck.
Matizzle toes, I miss my foot.
Also funny how some places can feel like home even when you haven’t been there for ages and, comparatively, didn’t spend much time there. Trauma and safety sure do work differently on the brain!!
It’s funny how you can spend SOOOO MUCH time in a place only for it to become completely foreign as soon as you leave. More funny than almost vomiting at the sight of your former employer’s website.
Does anyone else remember when Cardi B came to NZ and AUS and was like “wtf why can’t I get on the internet?!” I feel like this is going to be a short lived market.
Why isn’t Florence Pugh my girlfriend?
Sooooo how does standardising a 6 hour work day in 2025 sound?
I’m open to more ambitious asks, but big change is harder to action and this feels like a scalable goal.
I wore my ‘emotional support demon’ shirt to see Nosferatu and yeah, wow, apt.
Now sitting in my locked car on a quiet street in Yarraville while shadows dance around me. Reminds me of binging The Walking Dead during lockdown then going into the dark alley to find my cat 😱
Monday evening Pilates class got me forgetting which side of the street I drive on 🤪🫠
Dear Galinda you are just too good (stomp stomp stomp) How do you stand it I don’t think I could 😭
This is the trouble with ADHD. I have multiple streams of thought going pretty much constantly and ALWAYS one of them is a song from Wicked 😩
Since seeing Wicked a few weeks ago I have had a song from it running through my head 100% of the time. Usually Popular or Defying Gravity, but occasionally one of the other ones. I loved the movie but its hold on internal monologue is too much.
Just saw a Vicpol car with “family or force?” written on it and I just, I just don’t think that’s quite sending the message they think it is.
My #autism means sensory issues often get in the way of the spontaneous adventures my #ADHD desires. But this morning’s impromptu adventure was so delightful, I’m going to make an adventure go bag to keep in my car 😎
YOU GUYS I AM CURRENTLY STANDING IN THE OCEAN WITH A BABY SHARK AND I AM SO HAPPY DODODODODODO
Honourable mention goes to WA! Yes, the whole state (and from a known Perth hater). I travelled from Broome to Bunbury and now I’m like “do I want to do a van life thing and drive around the whole of WA? Maybe!” I definitely want to see a lot more!

1) Alice Springs
This place is magic. The water is absolutely awful but if it’s off putting bits don’t put you off, just WOW! I want to move there, I am not kidding. It’s in my system forever now and I can’t wait to get back.

2) Uluru
What an honour to visit this ancient and sacred site! I walked the base of Uluru and shat in the most outback dunny imaginable. I’m absolutely enthralled by Central Australia, my new favourite place in the world.

3) Gold Coast
Ok these are all going to be first time visits. I was delighted by this boarder tourist town! I stayed with one of my oldest friends and we smoked blunts on the beach and talked shit about the clouds. Glorious!

4) Wilson’s Prom
Again, hadn’t been before. My Mom and I spent a couple days at Tidal River and it was glorious! I got thrashed by the seas at Squeaky Beach, saw SO MANY wombats (also a first), and just delighted in nature. I’ll definitely be back!

5) Canberra
I had never been to our nation’s capital before and was pleasantly surprised by its foresty beauty. I spent the day at the National Gallery Australia and now want to go back to visit the other museums and galleries.

2024 is the year I finally became an Australian citizen, and, fittingly, also travelled to every state and territory in the country (for work). So here’s my list of top 5 Australian places I visited (not all work related)…
#Bestof2024
I make people have meetings 🫠
(Secretly though, I’m hoping my emails never find you, that you have found freedom and are readying for the revolution)
Finally, Financial Feminist because even though at least half the book is too specific to America, I have not been taught how to do money and learned very very useful things in the first half of the book.
The Day of the Triffids makes the list because I realised it’s the original template for end of the world type stories, like The Walking Dead. Love knowing the cultural origins of my obsessions!
Your Utopia is a collection of short body horror/sci-fi stories. Definitely the kind of thing someone who spent 2024 rewatching The Walking Dead would enjoy, cuz, zombies in space with graphic face eating woo!
She’s A Killer is a sexy little cli-fi set in Aotearoa that tackles apathy and revolution.
