The Wind is not to be trusted. A breeze is pleasant, but the Wind is chaos, mischief, malice. It moans and wails and then slaps you in the face when you check on it. It wants to get inside your hair, your bones, your house, and make everything untidy. Do not trust the Wind.
Congratulations to Benedict Cumberbatch: firstly, on mastering the pronunciation of "penguin" and, secondly, on narrating a 45 minute documentary about Antarctica (which has 18 species of penguin) and managing to say "penguin" only 5 times.

I’m seeing a lot of discourse on the difference between science fiction and fantasy today and as a professional sff book editor I want to clear this up: science fictions grow down from the ceiling and fantasies grow up from the floor. Easy. Next!

Ok so there are 2 boats, one intercepted by the Sri Lankan navy & one by the Australian Border Force. I was told April 26 there would be 2 boats coming, allegedly facilitated by Sri Lankan authorities, due to arrive by May 21. Described as an “election stunt”. I couldn’t verify.

Josh. A thread

What I know is that I'm one of nearly 3,000 volunteers for @Mon4Kooyong, about 80% of who are volunteering like this for the 1st time.

At my funeral, take the bouquet off my coffin and throw it into the crowd to see who is next.

I’m very sleepy when I first wake up and before I lie down, but there’s a period of about ten minutes during the day when I’m bright and alert and that's when magical things happen.

What's happening in Kooyong is both really complicated and really simple.
Power and privilege are being challenged by hope and integrity.

I feel like half the reason there's an epidemic of loneliness in our culture is because we set so much store on romance and have forgotten the beauty of deep, committed friendship.
