After electing Trump for a second time, how can anyone in the US still use the line “the greatest nation on earth”? And they all believe this rhetoric without question!
Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect. All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.
Traveling from Brisbane to Canberra this morning with my mum in her wheelie walker on @VirginAustralia . The staff at check in and gate could not have been more helpful, made it really easy
@VodafoneAU I just received a phone call telling me I could get 50% off my next bill for being a loyal customer if i gave them my account PIN. Honestly didn’t sound legit. Was I right in being suspicious or did I just miss out on a good deal??
Just a selection of random pages from @Kon__K’s cookbook that arrived today! It’s absolutely gorgeous, lovely design and it feels beautiful (does anyone else rub their hands over a new book to feel the texture of the cover and pages?) Anyway, what should I cook first?
@bdub60@USAquarium Well that’s interesting, because the author of the original message has no syringes next to their name, and you obviously read that. So what else you got?
@bdub60@USAquarium 1) because there is absolutely no need to fat shame. It’s such lazy writing
2) He’s implying people living of welfare, getting fat, eating fudge rounds are part of the problem, but that trope has been disproven over and over again
@CondimentWords And it goes back further….There’s a scene in Friends where Joey says to Ross “Looking good Mr Kotter”, and not a single person in the UK understands the reference because they also didn’t get Welcome Back Kotter.
@karaschlegl How about the silver brumby series? By Elyne Mitchell. I read them in primary school, can’t remember a lot of detail, it was a long time ago! But I know I loved them
@amayoco @karaschlegl The ocean at the end of the lane is a kids book?? Ok, well then you are 100% right that it holds adult attention, lol I didn’t realise it was a kids book when I read it, just that it was absolutely beautiful
