Got this barrel of oil for sale. Totally legit and did not fall off the back of a tanker in any strait.

That’s true. The stars that make gold were the subject of last week’s Substack and I can’t stop thinking about them. 🌟

Beautiful deluded corrupt city. I love/hate it.

What do we do when nobody cares and everywhere we go turns us away? What do we do when people don’t respond to our calls for help? When we really need help? What do we do to be heard? Falsely demonised, wearing tropes not ours and wrongly associated: we plead. #RaiseTheRate #auspol #HousingForAll
