With ers Without You

‪Wow.‬

‪I’ve just walked out of my apartment and there’s a whole archive of personal data just leaked onto our letterboxes.‬

‪Who’s going to answer for this information breach?‬

It’d be really nice if the solution to hundreds of years of racism, and the dismantling of system that gives people like me boatloads of privilege, could be nicely packaged for me in some kind of online store, maybe even with some bonus frequent flyer points, please.

Walking away from the playground with a screaming baby I tell the other parents, “it’s my first kidnapping, how do you get them to stop crying” so look out for my photo on the news.

Well before John Goodman screamed “you are wasting your time with this garbage” to Macaulay Culkin, and ever since, humanity has been struggling with black or white. Maybe this week we can start ending that struggle.

I saw an old friend’s name in my address book and looked him up on Facebook. He shares an account with his now wife. Rest in peace old pal.

If you have ever wondered what the day’s most awkward phone call would sound like, imagine that you’re a wedding celebrant calling a wedding venue co-ordinator to thank them for referring couples to you recently because you’ve had two bookings there this in the last few days. And the wedding co-ordinator not only doesn’t recommend you, but doesn’t know who you are. I am the one who knocks … awkwardly.

Wouldn’t it be weird if Washington DC protestors drained the swamp.

Lots of talk about censorship from this week from people who must think that its ok for me to come to their house, write hateful and/or untrue things on their wall, and because of free speech they have to leave it there when I leave.

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom of distribution.

Particularly when the speech is a lie or hate.

Take note of the businesses that get through COVID-19 alive. In the years prior, they saved their money, they played the long game, minimised debt, employed assets and fired those that did not bring value. The businesses still alive and kicking in 2021 were charging what they were worth, and then some, in 2019. They know how to run a sustainable business, and they’re worthy of your trade.

Lu and I spent some quality time watching COVID-19 press conferences today over bowls of porridge.

Posting this because there’s too many cute photos of her, so this one balances them out.

Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

And headline of the year goes to The Atlantic for “The Karen In Chief”

Post of the day

Is the closed borders thing kind of like a grown up version of The Floor Is Lava?

Asking for a friend.

Woah, ok, so sugar daddy means something completely different to what I thought.

Also, how do you get sugar out of your knit sweater?

One man’s rubbish is another man’s photograph

Big lights will inspire you, hear it for Gold Coast, Gold Coast, Gold Coast

I think it’s become abundantly clear that Bullock is holding up the general Sandra population.
