I'm a policy nerd, studying Italian, trying to grow veggies and learning to be more tolerant and empathetic.

I like tea, libraries, jigsaw puzzles, fridge magnets, cooking, mountains, trains, rescue dogs, history docos and southeast asian islands.

When I grow up I want to be a train driver. Or a librarian. Or maybe a character in a William Gibson novel.

I only boost pics with Alt Text. My posts vanish after three months.

Some doofus thinks my email is his email and mostly he just signs me up to spam but yesterday I got emailed a login and password for a medical patient portal for him.

@arose62 @damonism I have people in both the US and now the UK who think my gmail address is theirs. Today I've received an account setup email for a pension account and another email about what is now an official data breach incident relating to a police complaint (I actually replied to this one recently telling the police investigator they had the wrong address)

If you are feeling bad about how your life is going, at least it hasn't reached the depths of having people write about huge weirdos allegedly trying to find you friends.

@timrichards @ajsadauskas @danielbowen I bought a ticket there once, when my mum lived down the road. Around 1998, I reckon

Engage ass covering:

Labor MP Josh Burns has said he feels blindsided by the Albanese government’s support for new gas production and that he didn’t get into politics to “be a support mechanism for the fossil fuel industry”

@frogglin I mean, how would you prove solar power exists? It's a conundrum

Apparently 82% of first- time cruisers will cruise again. Which leaves me in the 18%.

@sister_ratched @Joseph I'm guessing that 82% only refers to people who did not die of an infectious disease caught onboard?

Doing everything you can would involve voting against the party line.

I look forward to Josh Burns voting with the greens!

@timrichards @danielbowen @ThermiteBeGiants there was an amusing little sledge in the local ABC news story last night noting that "Canberra was getting this done before Victoria", as though Victoria is some sort of benchmark in public transport ticketing system efficiency. I had a good laugh

Also happy to take recommendations for other banks divested from fossil fuels.

@noodle I use Bank Australia and Beyond Bank. Both good, use identical software platforms. Beyond is my preference as they have branches local to me and are good for the non-profit i'm involved with

"The gas giants won’t have to explore for new gas fields themselves. Santos, Woodside, Origin, Chevron, BP and Shell won’t have to spend a cent looking for new deposits — you’ll be paying for it instead.

@MorpheusB works for me

luciedigitalni,
@luciedigitalni@aus.social avatar

@MorpheusB independents, by definition, have to overdeliver for their electorates to get reelected. We're very lucky to have David Pocock representing the ACT in the Senate. He's not a Teal, he's actually a fair bit to the left of them on most issues, but the simple fact that he's not just another party apparatchik makes such a difference. The fact that he happens to have some real voting power on the Senate crossbench means he's able to get some meaningful stuff done

luciedigitalni,
@luciedigitalni@aus.social avatar

@sister_ratched @MorpheusB yes, i just saw the article in the riotact

@chrisg I think they had already lost their majority, but this makes it an absolute certainty
