And the other side of politics is having a field day, as if they have never broken a promise.

Anyone remember a statement that No government I lead will ever introduce a GST?

Not saying that this makes it ok, just pointing out the general hypocrisy

Nowhere near as much fun as I thought it would be

What’s upstairs??!!?

Gooseberry. The berries rarely get to be edible in wild seeded plants, but not poisonous

Absolutely. I was born overseas and am a white, middle aged, middle class man. The amount of racism that is spewed into my ear because I look “Australian” is horrific.

One of the few regrets I have in life is that it took me years to be brave enough to call it out as it happens.

Edit: deleted my standalone comment because it was supposed to reply to this one

See Spot Run?

All that for three books

No such thing as doesn’t pass. You tell me you’re a woman? Who the fuck am I to question what you feel in your bones? In the spirit of the republicans making shit up to disenfranchise, I hereby declare that you pass. As whatever the fuck you want, whenever the fuck you want to.

I will even print you a pass.

Serious question: if they are a myth, why the need to ban trans people from anything?

I hereby ban dragons from Starbucks! And the bank! And from driving! Muahaha, I’m so fucking evil!!

I fucken love that GIF

Yeah, I know the statistics. My crash I spoke about was off road, on private farmland, riding my enduro bike. I do ride on road, as well as on closed circuits when I can, but two wheels is no longer my only form of transport. I used to do over 100,000 km a year on road, on various motorcycles. Now it’s closer to 15,000.

I understand the risks. I also know what it does for me and my mental health.

I’ll never give it up. Well, unless I’m a danger to others.

Late 50’s and always been fit. I had a crash on my motorcycle (off road, went over the bars) which took three weeks to recover from. Serious bruising to both legs as they caught on the bars. Had trouble walking for three days. Limped for over two weeks. Still got legs that range from yellow to purple.

Finally figuring out that my teen years are behind me. Now reconsidering buying a Ducati desmo450mx. Might have to be a fucking golf cart instead.
