@lozyrosie Crazily I did the same. 2 years on JET Programmer, 1 year teachers degree, 1 year of depressing public school work then eventually I became a Learning designer!

Having a joint, brownie or a gummy with mates shouldn’t be a crime.

The Greens want to legalise it. We have a bill to do it nationally.

Let’s make this #420 the last before it’s legalised.

On Saturday in Ballarat, women marched to demand their safety after 3 alleged murders.

That afternoon in Bondi Junction, 5 women were killed at the hands of a violent man.

Too often, women don’t feel safe at home, work, or at the shops. The epidemic of men’s violence must stop.

@PVBrett Ooo exciting!
I find writing retreats to be such a double-edged sword. They fill me with ideas but also imposter syndrome

A very nasty earthquake on Japan's west coast today.

If you're in the area of Ishikawa Prefecture in particular (Kanazawa city), be aware there's a major tsunami warning of potentially 3-5 meters.

Stay safe and get to high ground if you're along the west coastline between Yamagata and Fukui.

[Why you should have a cat @ShouldHaveCat]

In 2005, a six-month-old kitten named Oscar was adopted by a nursing home in the US to be raised as a therapy cat. However, the workers noticed something peculiar about him.

While Oscar usually preferred to be alone, he occasionally crawled into a resident's bed and snuggled beside them.

The eerie thing about this is that the resident that Oscar would cuddle with would usually die within hours.

Initially, the staff didn't think much of it, but after this happened 20 times, they started to believe that Oscar knew when someone was close to passing away, and so when they noticed the cat next to a resident, they would call their loved ones to warn them.

Researchers speculate that Oscar could smell biochemicals released by dying cells and so chose to comfort lonely residents.

On one occasion, the staff was convinced that a resident was about to pass away, but Oscar refused to sit with them. Instead, he chose another resident who looked healthier, and that person passed away first.

Oscar died in 2022, and over the course of his life he accurately predicted over 100 deaths.
