I mentioned Amy Sheppard yesterday in my post, and in browsing back through her Insta feed, I realised she’d released a single with accompanying music vid. As the pioneer of the #kissmyfatass tag, and given her wonderful IS feed, I thought the song would be good – but it’s actually better than I’d hoped. Catchy, […]

I’m tearing up a little as I’m writing this, because I’m writing this on Sunday, and my Nana is dying, and I fully expect that by the time this posts on Thursday, she will be gone. (And that makes four grandparents in four months. Can 2019 just stop already, please?) My mum has been going

A group of divers were out, well, diving, and stumbled (metaphorically, because stumbling while swimming is hard?) across a tiny lil octopus. Said octopussum had had a tiny lapse in judgement, and was attempting to use a plastic cup as a shell. The divers felt sorry for it, and spent a significant part of their

A partial repost, because I’d forgotten about this paradigm I spontaneously invented a couple of years ago until Saturday just past, when I managed to – such fun – lock myself out of my house. Harrumph. $160 for a locksmith is NOT how I wanted to spend money right now, thanks very much. I could

There’s this glorious big dogwood tree outside my office, and right now it’s in full and glorious bloom. Honestly, it’s stunning. I want to spend half an hour comprehensively photographing it every time I walk past. On my way out to the carpark yesterday, I overheard one of the head gardeners chatting with a woman
Reposting this because: topical. My friend’s daughter was told in class last week that she would never be successful because she didn’t speak ‘proper’ English. I got a story rejection recently with personal feedback (which is so nice to have!) that mentioned that the story was a strange combination of British and American English. Spoiler:

Today, random sketching. Finally finished reading Macbeth with my class and we had ten minutes left of class. They’d come in the day before from art all keen and drawing-y, so I was like, cool, let’s illustrate! As some of you will remember, Macbeth is described at the end of the play as the ‘dead

My Nana passed away in the night. I wasn’t extremely close to her, so I’m more grieving for my mum’s sake, but regardless, I am sad. On the way in to drop my son off to school this morning, it was raining. The ground was wet. On the way back out, I noticed a set

Ermagersh you guys. A friend sent me this the other week and I was just like. 7 seconds in, I was sold, and it only got better from there. This plus Malinda’s Fearless from the other week are my new “play them till the record breaks” song for the rest of the term. Yay! Aladdin

A repost, because apparently I needed it this week. Thanks, Past!Amy. Thanks. From 16 March 2015. There are days when you just want to wash your hands and quit humanity. You know the kind. Maybe someone (or a whole host of someones) was rude to you; maybe people were petty or spiteful or jealous or
