Also I got a whole near week into this campaign before I got back on this platform with my feelings...

[Chelsey Potter @chels_e_potter]

Ahh yes the Liberal Party, still only speaking to male voters.

Learning those 2022 campaign lessons...

[Liberal Party @LiberalAus]

Friendly reminder, Dr. Ryan 😉

Ultimately people are complex and our experiences of them are complex.

I completely adored Birmo for nearly seven years as my boss but that relationship changed significantly over the ensuing years.

And that is what it is.

[Chelsey Potter @chels_e_potter]

Political passings are a lot like real deaths. We always feel compelled to convey our glowing regards and find nice things to say.

[Chelsey Potter @chels_e_potter]

@GeorgiaAHeath Thank you, beauty! 🔥💪🏽

[Chelsey Potter @chels_e_potter]

The greatest #IWD gift I could ever ask for is knowing that my male Liberal colleagues had to sit through that speech from @annabelcrabb

Thanks for amplifying what so many Liberal women are saying, Annabel. Nailed it.

[Chelsey Potter @chels_e_potter]

While I'm not on here a lot these days, it's the perfect place to share this lovely little note from @campbellclaret

Cannot wait to get stuck into this one after his very validating, refreshing talk today. I've been in dire - dire! - need of some inspiration lately...

[Chelsey Potter @chels_e_potter]

Sending love to all the peeps who have found ABC's Nemesis too infuriating to watch. I'm about to give it another go.

I could tag some moderate Liberal factional leadership but I won't.

However I will ask: where to from here? Can we repair the damage?

[The Chaser @chaser]

'Heroic', Scott Morrison leaves politics without ever shooting a protesting woman

[Chelsey Potter @chels_e_potter]

Happy days. I knew I had a good feeling about 2024.

[Josh Butler @JoshButler]

Scott Morrison quitting politics to spend more time with his other secret jobs

[Chelsey Potter @chels_e_potter]

Only I could walk into a Mecca Cosmetica, have a conversation that starts off with mutual eyebrow appreciation and ends with mutual agreement about burning down the patriarchy and all those who serve it.

[Chelsey Potter @chels_e_potter]

(Although she regrets resisting saying "We love you" and "You should've been Prime Minister" because "people were queuing" and apparently it would've been "weird")

(Or, ahem, more weird...)

Tis the season and I think this has made Ma's Christmas 🎉💃🏻

[Chelsey Potter @chels_e_potter]

My Ma just called me excitedly to say that @HonJulieBishop sold her some cherries in the Adelaide Hills. Apparently my Ma, who I must stress doesn't know Julie Bishop, automatically opened with "Hello, Julie!"

You know, like the old friends they are? 😅

The fan-girling was 👌🏽

[Chelsey Potter @chels_e_potter]

Sending my love and all I can spare to his family, friends, those who knew and loved him ♥️

[Chelsey Potter @chels_e_potter]

Terribly sad to hear of the passing of Barry Wakelin OAM. We last crossed paths during the 2022 Federal Campaign: him on pre-poll for, and me on the road with, the incredible Liz Habermann.

An absolute gentleman who yearned for a better kind of politics. More like him, please.

[Chelsey Potter @chels_e_potter]

Putting aside my personal connection to this and while I'm wholly convinced Bruce is taking the piss here, I can't help but think of all the women who have told me they can't run for Parliament because they posted one unfortunate photo on Facebook from when they were, like, 14.

@philhornoz01 I tend to think of them of people who were trapped in something and didn't know how to cope

[Chelsey Potter @chels_e_potter]

"I was really personally hurt by all these people that I loved, or, you know, worked with in my time of need when something horrendous happened, all these good people did nothing … can’t explain how hurt I was that I was just abandoned"

Brittany once again pinpoints the feeling
