Just wanted to give a huge, huge, thank you to all the X family who helped out with sharing the Government Petition to save the Community Licensed Post Office Network. Hopefully Minister Michelle Rowland will reign in CEO Australia Post Paul Graham’s agenda of closures! #auspoł

It’s now more than 2 weeks since my beautiful Roxy died. I wake up in the night cos I can hear her snoring next to me in bed. I tell her to stop hogging the bed. I hear her scratching at the door to come back inside. But she’s not here anymore. Am I going mad? #dogs #grief

After nearly 28 yrs as the CEO of Women With Disabilities Australia (WWDA), I recently resigned from my role. I will take a well earned break, then return in some form as I feel I still have much to contribute. Thanks to all those who supported me. It has been a privilege.

I had a bad fall recently- broke 3 ribs & my hand. The Dr in the ED gave me a script for 10 low dose Endone tablets - to take 2 twice a day. So, basically a few days worth. Haven’t been able to get any pain relief meds since - due to “Govt crackdown on opioids”. So cruel.

Just one more week before my new puppy arrives. I never thought I could get another dog after losing my beautiful Roxy recently. But I was SO sad over many things, & wanted to feel happy again. Meet Kirby. Named after the amazing Justice Michael Kirby. #dogsofTwitter

Does anyone know if there is a ‘list’ of “foundational supports” and/or exactly what these mean in practice? Craig Wallace Sam Connor #NDIS

Happy heavenly International Dog Date to our beautiful Sunny Boy and Roxy. You are in our hearts every single day and we miss you both so much. ❤️🐶 #Dogs #DogsofTwitter #doglove

Thank you Michael Salter Jess Hill Annabelle Daniel OAM & Professor Angela Taft for your informative webinar this afternoon on ‘Domestic Violence: Why? What is to be done?’ Look forward to the link to the recording which I will promote widely. #VAW #DomesticViolence #CEDAW

If Gina Rinehart is now being referred to as “Dr Rinehart”, I’m going to start calling myself “Professor Frohmader”. Ronni🧂Salt

I feel so ashamed of our Govt re their stance on not including #LGBTIQA+ people in the Census. My only child is nearly 22yo. When she was 11yo, she wrote a letter to (then) PM Tony Abbott. It was about marriage equality, but her views still resonate. australianmarriageequality.org/wp-content/upl…

Why do broken ribs take SO long to heal and why are they SO painful? GP says I have to go get a bone density test. I already know what it will find, given I went through early #menopause at aged 39. I don’t want to take any more meds. OWN NSW #womenshealth

Meet Kirby. Our little 9 week old treasure. Named after the former Hon Justice Michael Kirby. Who sent us a lovely message when he heard about us naming our new puppy after him! #puppies #puppylove #besotted #healingjourney

Why are Uni students, like my daughter, being charged exorbitant fees, if Uni’s are simply providing “self-directed” learning? This is shit. I pay my daughter’s Uni fees up front cos I don’t want her to graduate with a $150,000 debt. What am I paying for? Jason Clare MP

So, here’s a couple of photos of little Kirby, who is now 11 weeks old. He’s a treasure. I love him. I have no intention of allowing anyone to eat him, Donald Fuckhead Tosser Trump. #dogsandcats #Debate2024 #puppylove #dogs

Prue MacSween Clover Moore AO I often wonder what happened to you Prue MacSween to make you such a bitter and nasty person. I wonder what your mother must think of you - I have no idea if you have one - but if my daughter behaved like you do, I would see it as a failure of my parenting. Try to be nice?

I got my 15yo cat Mem, a coat. For security reasons. I don’t live in Ohio - but just in case the cat eating thing becomes a thing….. Oh, and Mem thinks Donald Trump is a dickhead. Sam Connor Rob Arnol

Violence & abuse comes in many forms. From individuals, from systems, from & within organisations & agencies which purport to be leaders in ending all forms of #violence including gender-based violence. Many victim-survivors are silenced from speaking their truth. 😞 #VAW #CRPD

And what becomes of the broken hearted? When victim-survivors of organisational & systemic #violence are silenced from speaking their truth? #lateralviolence #CEDAW #CRPD #VAW #Disability #DisabilityRC #DisabilityTwitter #HateSpeech

Dear #Hobart I love you. Was born & bred here. But can you please STOP raining! It’s starting to do my head in. 🌧️💨 Rob Arnol Heidi the Hermit
