There is no justification for owning a gun.
Unless you are a member of the military, law enforcement or a farmer there is simply no need for it.
We must rid our streets of every unnecessary firearm in the country. Enough. We can not be allowed to follow America’s morally bankrupt culture.
Whhyyyy do we have to hear Christmas Muzak in every space? Do people generally like it ? Most of it is downright awful.

Pippin the Cavoodle stands on carpet looking at camera. Her greenie is half eaten under her.
My dog started like that and it became evident she had some issues. It’s been very slow but now she trusts us but is still weary (we have had her for a year and a bit) however she is very quirky and silly and it’s been a great lesson for all of us.
Had a wonderful time at #anza25! I’m so privileged to have listened to so many fascinating talks and to have had enlightening conversations with a variety of different experts.
Melbourne has won me over with the spectacular Renaissance artwork in the NGV.

Today I learned that “Possession” by A.S Byatt is on the new English Extension syllabus as an elective.

Dan Brown is awesome. Angels and Demons is such a good book. (I read it when I was I was about 14 when I read it, but my point still stands)

A still life painting with dark background. It depicts a woven wicker basket piled high with plums - about 20 are visible - sitting on a wooden ledge or table. In front of the basket are about 10 apricots. At the left of the painting a white cockatoo sits on the surface, facing the fruit. In the right bottom corner is a plum cut in half, with the stone removed and the cut side up. At the top right is a blue tit, facing across the top of fruit.
