Word-whore. I write 'em. I talk 'em. Information, politics, media, and the cybers. I drink. I use bad words. All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris! Vive les poissons rouges sauvages!
A weekly summary of what I’ve been doing elsewhere on the internets.
My week of Monday 20 to Sunday 26 June 2022 was much like the previous week. A podcast and some planning and some socialising, but not a whole lot else. I’m sure this will come back to bite me. The weather was nice though.

My week of Monday 13 to Sunday 19 June 2022 was a short one, and relatively easy. Or to put it another way, I was lazy. There was a podcast. There was some planning. And there was clear, sunny weather — if a little cold. A nice change after weeks of La Niña, and a strange contrast to last year’s June snow.

My week of Monday 23 to Sunday 29 May 2022 was a strange one. A sense of cautious hope after the election result, although of course we still don’t know exactly what’s happening.

My week of Monday 16 to Sunday 22 May 2022 was of course dominated by Australia’s federal election. Before that wiped out my weekend — and the Coalition government — I finally locked in the next few podcast episodes, and kicked off a new way to waste my Tuesday nights, and yours.
