Every character in literature is struggling with what it means to be a good bloke. The Crime and Punishment guy, Frankenstein, Those little women. All I did was add in some sick waves. Happy holidays, Tim.

You can see why he's Australia's fave
Doing my Red Rooster run Sunday evening and a group of about 10 blokes step out of the chest-high bushes to demand I stop shining a light upon the frayed nature of Australian masculinity. It's just the Sunday blues driving them I know, and the boys soon scatter to the four winds

Can you just ask people on Instagram how they've managed to travel the world for a year without working or is that considered rude

Apparently they had to rescue a plains wanderer off a runway at Melbourne airport??? Crazy record, those sneaky nocturnal bastards probably have us surrounded

Something good definitely happening off to the left (beach stone-curlew, red-backed kingfisher, fan-tailed cuckoo, black-shouldered kite)

Taking suggestions for 2026 Aus Lit to add to this pile! Just read Patrick Hunn's incredibly fun and strange story collection, so pretend that's on the pile too

Read a bunch of positive stuff about this, and Patchett is obviously very skillful, but this is so sweet it made me mad

as someone who likes simple boring things, the phrase 'minimalism was made up by big small to sell you more less' has really done a number on me. im haunted by it every day

Donating blood feels like such an archaic thing to me - sure, milk me for my blood that you can then put inside someone else who needs it. Amazing we haven't found a simpler solution (still: you should donate blood)

Greens poll at 11-13% for twelve years: aha, they're finally emerging as a genuine alternative! (I really wish they were tbh)
Call me silly but I find it passing strange these allegations against jordon-steele have emerged just now as the Greens start to emerge as a genuine alternative to the zionist albanese labor govt+LNP+one nation triopoly. Anyway, let's see what facts are there!!
