Living Life ☺️🌹

I’m not a bot. I am an X-Pat. I came to where the skies are blue to get get away from the insanity. Loving being in a less inflammatory space. I have MECFS and interested in all things that may help that condition. Also a sky / climate watcher, maybe even a wee doomer. Meet my dog lol

If you seek to lead people, you seek to influence how they behave through your thoughts, your words, and your actions. Politicians have to take responsibility for trivialising violence and normalising aggression. Our words matter.

so they're available for Israel.... ....but NOT for Ukraine....???

When public servants give evidence in a public hearing, about jobs that the public pays them to do, their answers should be direct, unambiguous, and detailed. That is the contract between the public and government. Any suggestion otherwise goes against that agreement.

Good night lovely people and lovely dogs. I hope that you have a wonderful day tomorrow.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Good night lovely people and lovely dogs. I hope that you have a fantastic day tomorrow

Doug Cameron:”In my view it is now clear that AUKUS is about militarising Australia in interests of the US, ensuring the grifters in defence and the arms industry are well fed. It is an act of self-harm and madness on the part of the Australian government.” pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/10...

We condemn the political threats made by Opposition Leader Jess Wilson on Sunday and reject her misleading connection between protest of Israel’s genocide and the horrific Bondi attack. Protesting a livestreamed genocide is not antisemitic. Our release: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/10/jewi...

Good night lovely people and lovely dogs. I'm wishing you the very best for the week to come.

Great to see an admission by journalists that the news media is part of the problem, and are partly responsible for turning the temperature up #auspol

America when are you going to do something, asking for the whole world ?

Good night lovely people and lovely dogs. I hope that you have a fun day tomorrow.

The violence we refuse to name theshot.net.au/news/opinion... “The ugly truth is that in Australia raging angry men have been running women down with cars, setting fire to them, bashing children, killing and raping, burning them, throwing their bodies in rubbish dumps and doing whatever they like”

Andromeda in Spring: Looking toward the north from Mullion, NSW, Australia, the Andromeda Galaxy never gets more than a few degrees above the horizon. During the southern hemisphere spring, Andromeda is highest in the sky around midnight. Multiple exposures were used to reveal the spiral galaxy.

I have a lot of respect for a lot of journalists trying to make sense of this week’s events. But what I’ve mainly taken away from the bulk of the analysis is how out of touch most of our media and political class are with the lives of ordinary people

Instead of candy this Halloween, why not pass out banned books instead? A sugar high lasts a short time, but knowledge lives forever.

Good night lovely people and lovely dogs. I hope that you have a really wonderful weekend

Watching the aurora dance over a street in Beaver, Alaska. WOW!

Good night, lovely people and lovely dogs. I'm wishing you the very best for the tail end of your week.

Early autumn morning at Takaragaike Pond. Watching the lush greenery slowly turn into gentle autumn hues, reflected on the glassy surface. Pure tranquility in northern Kyoto. 🍃🍂

Good night, lovely people and lovely dogs. I hope that you have a fabulous day tomorrow.

Just like Trump

Good night, lovely people and lovely dogs. I hope that you have a wonderful day tomorrow. (I'm sorry that it's late, we had a technical issue)

Hanson is a MAGA wannabe cancer on AUS society Just imagine how repulsive AUS would be with One Nation and the sycophantic, desperate LNP in power
