The most appalling part of this is that it's marketed as a breakfast food that you should eat every day. 

I know that she’s in her early 30s and completely fine dating a guy pushing 50, but in every photo he just looks like her dad.

American food is fucked up salads. Jello salad, cookie salad, Watergate salad. They all look like what a six year old pukes up after a birthday party.

I don’t know if my friends had actual physical glory boxes, so much as a huge collection of homewares, crockery, linens etc, ready for when they had their own home. I think the reason I was shocked was because I had never encountered that before high school, and because despite many of my female friends having them,…

I’ve worked in stationery shops for years, and I’m pretty sure most of this stuff never gets used, or only used for a month or so before it’s put to one side and never opened again. Stationery is weirdly aspirational for a lot of people; the idea that ‘if I just had the right planner or the right pen, then I could be…

I’m fascinated by the idea of Aussie debs. I didn’t even know they were a thing until I heard about Nakkiah Lui’s podcast on the history of Aboriginal girls holding their own debutante balls. I’m in my mid-30s, grew up working class in an Australian city, and I’ve never met anyone (to my knowledge) who was a…

This movie came out just as I was hitting puberty, and back when I read teen magazines. I never saw it, and literally the only thing I remember is everyone deciding Alicia Silverstone was too fat to be Batgirl. I specifically remember “Buttgirl” and “Fatgirl” jokes in those teen girl magazines. The gleeful cruelty…

I wonder if the merit of abolishing gendered acting categories is IN the fact that we’re used to them being evenly split in terms on nominees. Taking away the cover of a category for each would make the favouring of men far more obvious to audiences who will be expecting half/half, whether they realise it or not. That…

I have the most basic, easy to pronounce name ever. I was also raised with the basic damn courtesy of addressing people with the name they give you. The sheer arrogance of unilaterally deciding another person’s name should change blows my mind. Not to mention, the US, like Australia, is racist af but it’s also…

Shit, guys, what happened to Apart, Together and all that crap? You’re not there yet, California isn’t there yet, the US isn’t even close. Go home and sing Imagine to yourselves in the mirror.

Meanwhile, in Australia, Captain Cook gets a police guard, and statues of two of our recent PMs were covered and fenced off when it became apparent that statues of prominent racists were being targeted.

That IS the wrist of the lady facing the camera. Back to Camera is wearing a black top. 

My Dad died last month. He had dementia for the last few years of his life, and I’m just now getting to the point where I can enjoy memories of him without thinking of him as he was at the close of his life. He was a big personality, lifelong little brother, centre of attention, only adult I ever met who made a…

Imagine thinking of anything less than publishing an entire damn book about yourself as 'censorship'. 

It’s SO weird, and so foolish. Apart from the absolute irrelevance of this revelation to the conversation he was having, does he not realise that he can’t unring this bell? Anyone can see that Gaetz isn’t the brightest candle on the Christmas tree, but does he really think there will be no follow up questions?

I’m not sure if you're joking, but she died while hiking to a climb site.

Does she have a really small head, or does he have a really big head?

When people argue religious freedom for something like this, what is the burden of proof? Do they have to prove that they’re practising? How observant do they have to be for a transgender person’s existence to threaten their rights? Do they have to provide Biblical evidence, from a theological scholar?

And even if that were accurate, what chaos?

You have more faith in them than I do. I think they'll comfortably sacrifice any age group to their lobbyists demands. Do you think if there were monthly shootings at nursing homes, that would motivate them to change gun laws?
