Probably a dissenter but I like having all those stories in one place now. I think the community is too new to start subdividing it up too.

What an incredible moment. Loved seeing all the kids in the crowd so hyped up for the Tillies!
Because changing the terms gives ammunition to the people blocking climate change action. You’ve seen the discussion about “oh it was global warming, now it’s climate change, make up your minds”. This is the same. To them it’s wavering on what the problem is. Changing terms is ambiguity. It’s being unsure. Just stick with “climate change” and “we told you so”. Maybe what I should have said was “it doesn’t matter how it’s described to people who don’t believe in climate change bc changing terms won’t change their mind. “
Agreed that it doesn’t matter how it’s described. And there’s a need to ratchet up language more and more if you go down this path. What comes after boiling?
I’m glad the Greens keep bringing this up. Something needs to change.
Finance department hires consultant to advise on hiring consultants in move compared to ABC’s Utopia
It’s consultants all the way down.
Haha that’s brilliant.
Wow ok, I was hoping they’d reinstate the dragon coaster somewhere
Is there anything planned to go in there after Myer has gone?
Ah yes, I’ve just been through that Libby wait with all the Silo books! Hope it goes quickly for you. :)
From Australia:
Cloudstreet by Tim Winton. Two very different families leave the country for the bright lights of Perth
Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton. A story about growing up in Brisbane on the rough side of town.
For the Term of his Natural Life by Marcus Clarke. Very readable novel about Australia’s convict history. I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did.
I was too scared I would jinx it last time haha
