I'm a policy nerd, studying Italian, trying to grow veggies and learning to be more tolerant and empathetic.

I like tea, libraries, jigsaw puzzles, fridge magnets, cooking, mountains, trains, rescue dogs, history docos and southeast asian islands.

When I grow up I want to be a train driver. Or a librarian. Or maybe a character in a William Gibson novel.

I only boost pics with Alt Text. My posts vanish after three months.

I suggest anyone planning to draw any conclusions from the European elections looks first at the turnout

Read your meters regularly and never pay estimated bills!

@MyView I am very motivated to not pay my energy company a cent more than I have to. Last year I had to fight them because the distributor had done an incorrect reading! Luckily I had date-stamped photos of the meter!

If the Tories do survive this election in any recognisable form, I wonder if they will come to embrace the benefits of preferential (ranked choice) voting?

On this first official day of the ski season, it appears that only Mt Baw Baw has managed to produce a skiable patch of snow

#VAD now legal in Canberra. Wooohooo!! It's been a long journey. I contributed a submission and was called on to speak to the parliamentary panel, as a nurse with a bit experience of the topic. And we're here at last! 🥳

@sister_ratched it's a critically important start, though I firmly believe it needs to be available to people with dementia so I believe we've got a way to go yet

Show me a phrase more cursed than “HR is thrilled to launch Workday for Microsoft Teams to all employees”.

I was just about to complain about a business I've requested a quote from in writing trying to call me then sending me both texts and emails. Then I realise they've sent me a fucking Whatsapp message as well!

It is a decent quote but I cannot reward this stalking-adjacent behaviour

luciedigitalni,
@luciedigitalni@aus.social avatar

@Old_IT_geek absolutely, and this probably works with some people, just not with me

@RHW another innovation I have just discovered is the text message follow-up that can't be replied to. Genius!

Not being responsible for negotiating a contract and publicly defending an obscene waste of public money during a cost of living crisis are very different things

Tony Burke on RN Breakfast discussing a 3.75% minimum wage increase then defending Bill Shorten's speechwriter getting paid $600,000 as "it's a matter of the independence of the public service". Read the room, mate

@samhkennedy I believe it's a she in this case, but yes, he's a mediocre speaker at best
