Heard that Gen Z are super into the "rocking chair" litmus test for figuring out if you should have kids (picture yourself in a rocking chair at 75, do you have grandkids at your feet?) but I have a much better one - do you love doing laundry? Because 90% of parenting is laundry.
An excellent and very clear piece. Bravo overland.org.au/2026/03/safe...
I can not believe how generous you have all been about Where it all went wrong - the response has blown me away. Truly. I have a couple of copies I can send to people who might be waiting a long time at their library or can't afford a book right now - please pop into my DMs and I'll do my best x
I've had several puppies in my life and only one toddler. I'm finding the only difference in toilet training them is that toddlers are capable of malice.
I'M NOT SORRY FOR YELLING THIS IS INSANITY
TWO YEARS IN JAIL FOR WEARING A SHIRT THAT SAYS FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA
The world uniting to hate on Timothee Chalamet is the type of thing that deluded me into thinking we would never have another world war. I thought the things that unite us (hating Timothee Chalamet) would be stronger than the things that divide us.
My mother called me lazy but actually I'm breaking down gender barriers.
There's a guy online who does advice videos for men about undoing social conditioning that says they needn't participate in domestic work but actually it's really good advice for me, a woman with ADHD, and Idk how to feel about that.
Woke up to an ominous fog surrounding the house, like the earth is inviting me to stop reading the news and become a mysterious disappearance someone will make a true crime podcast about one day.
Had to fill up for the first time since the war began and oh shit oh no oh shit and oh no
That's my dream rug, a bit out of my price range atm unfortunately. I think ruggable is above board??? Hopefully?? Everywhere else suuuucks
It's also a little devastating to see what's happened to Etsy. Where are all the weird creatives selling their shit. I'm sad.
I'm trying to buy a rug for the first time in ages, mostly looking second hand but decided to peruse the online stores... never have I seen more blatant evidence that the internet is one shop. Every store sells the same ugly rugs. The drop shipping is out of control.
Amazing ADHD life hack: get your card information stolen by scammers and your account suspended. Suddenly you are being automatically unsubscribed from all the services you forgot you signed up for. 👍
A perfect book
Two kids with cancer died at Westmead Children’s Hospital due to mould in the wards. This is unacceptable and unbearable. Sorry is nowhere near enough
Guardian headline: Gen Z men twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands
I'm sceptical of data that makes these broad generational assumptions but it's so funny to me that articles about millennials were like "these whiny bitches care too much about the environment and eat too many avocados" and now articles about Gen Z are like "they're aaaall Nazis".
To push myself back into writing, I'm practicing writing shit without thinking too hard, posting it and then not worrying. Two out of three ain't bad.
My job is watching ads, so I had to write about this monstrosity. I'm sorry. open.substack.com/pub/karaschl...
There's a pipeline no-one is talking about and it's high school jock to bitcoin bro to weird little freak who has an AI girlfriend and wants to tell you about it.
How unbelievably miserable
Lover by Taylor Swift is such a lovely little song, but I simply can't listen to it. "We can leave the Christmas lights up 'til January" takes me out every time. When else are we supposed to take the lights down if not January, you sociopath??? !!!
Been desperately searching for a podcast to listen to for days, craving something but not connecting with anything. Turns out the podcast was music. I wanted to listen to music.
When Smash Mouth said "the years start coming and they don't stop coming", I felt that.
It's like when your toddler throws your phone into the toilet and then after he gets into trouble he gives you a little cuddle and it's like, look, that doesn't fix the actual problem, but it's nice.
I can't explain it, but I think the universe is trying to right itself by taking Kyle Sandilands off air. It's trying to do a really really good thing to balance out all the bad. Might need something more substantial, but it's a welcome first step.
Middle East crisis love: Israel's military says it struck an Iran site aimed at developing nuclear weapons capabilities
If I've learned anything these past few years, this means they struck a preschool, or a petting zoo or something
*Astrology, Dan. It's a science, show some respect.
