Retired secondary English teacher defying the stereotype, I hope. A tad cynical. Left Impostor Syndrome behind. Compensations of old age. I know what I know.
GREAT MOMENTS IN PRESIDENTIAL ORATORY
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"-FDR
"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country"-JFK
"We are the ones we've been waiting for-We are the change that we seek"-Barack Obama
"I didn't have sex with a porn star"-djt
In Aust. Ms Dhu died in custody for unpaid fines. A victim of Dom violence. Asked for medical assistance didn’t receive it. No Charges. Mr Ward a respected elder, blew over the limit. Put in a police van & transported 4hrs without A/C. Was literally cooked alive, no charges 1/9
How To Fail with Elizabeth Day is an inspiring podcast. Why wouldn’t she be a brilliant fiction writer too? I’ve just absolutely relished her audiobook Magpie. Gripping narrative with psychological weight.
With a school reunion coming up I reflected on some of the bad stuff about being nearly 13. The Real Judith Middlemarch: Halcyon Days? Better keep your head down. https://t.co/LIBzKhllEp
@sueperkins Just finished ‘reading’ East of Croydon on audiobook. Any comment I could make seems banal given your insight, incisiveness, humour, brilliance. Laughed and cried. So appreciate what you’ve shared. Many thanks 🙏
Just a reminder for everyone, including people like @PeterDutton_MP, the @AusElectoralCom has a page that corrects the disinformation being pushed by the No campaign. So if you are speaking on the issue or a journo reporting on it, you have no excuse

I was asked if I was prepared for a “No” result; I said we already live in “No”. We’ve been told “No” for 200+ years. The High Court told Yorta-Yorta “No” in 2002; I was there. I’d sooner try “Yes” or even, “Of Course”.
