Melbourne children's book folk, we're rolling out the banner today at 12pm along with a bunch of great organisations who have not and will not give up the fight for an adequate government response to the climate crisis. Join us today at Treasury Place.

The baby has absurdly long eyelashes, sloe-eyes, and a pointed, elfin nose, so every time I glance down it looks like I'm breastfeeding a goddang secretarybird.

Get her, Billy 🔥

My partner teaches at a university and one of their students turned in an assignment written by AI, analysing an artist that doesn’t exist.

'I watch the baby’s face flood with shock and delight as he collides with the world. First ride on a double decker. First taste of pineapple. One day, I’ll tell him how he saved me.'

I SHOULDN'T HAVE READ THIS FIVE WEEKS POSTPARTUM 😭🥹❤️😭❤️🥹❤️😭❤️🥹
