@vomalley @JoannaKidman Wow, what a great photo. Your photographer must have known their stuff! 😎

I met @JoannaKidman on Sunday and yes she is as cool in real-life as she is on here #meetyoursheroes✅

the monolith challenge on celebrity treasure island nz is discriminatory against the big kids … you had to dig a hole under a log in the sand and go under it

watching Queen sugar season 5 and they’re acting out 2020 - so triggering! I didn’t really realise how much I’ve suppressed from that time and still are dealing with. ✊🏽
