the feminine urge to finish every sentence with, "if that makes sense" despite knowing it absolutely makes sense

at the chemist and there is a man asking for a cream to get rid of his daughter’s nightmares, and the sales attendant is so resignedly repeating, “sir, please, listen to what you’re saying”

I genuinely think the sales assistant would have had to pull this trick on the man himself, let alone the child

today I learned that calling the store a chemist is an ANZ/UK thing, and doing so will have a bunch of people confused that you’re going direct to an apothecary for your pharmaceutical needs.

If your gut response to this is “just mute or ignore them” instead of holding them accountable for the disgusting things they say, you’re part of the problem. Nobody deserves to hear this, it’s completely fucked up.
I have never made a more desperate plea that what I am about to say right now. @riotgames @RiotSupport I need you guys to fucking do something. I am an incredibly strong person and I have been streaming for a very, very long time. But absolutely nothing prepares you for someone saying this to you
The suspensions are not enough. Nothing will ever stop these men from acting this way until hardware bans go into play. They should never be able to play the game again
I know you hear us. I know you see us. If this goes unpunished I am taking this as an active act from you that you do not give a single fuck about any of the women and minorities that play your game, and I will rally to boycott. This is just absolutely not on

This whole thing is a trash fire but the specificity of "PS5 ONLY!" has absolutely sent me. Honestly Alanah, how dare you stand in the way of console exclusivity, the gall, the cheek!

Cat’s out of the bag! I’ve moved into a new role as Editorial Lead at @NetflixANZ, and I’m kicking it off by doing one of my favourite things: talking about death 🐝
“If more portrayals of Death were like #TheSandman, maybe there wouldn’t be so much denial and revulsion around one of life’s only true inevitabilities,” said Panecasio. “Maybe in finally talking openly, it can help us be less afraid.”

Wasn't going to say anything about it but if your focus is on, "she lied about being married," instead of, "she's in an abusive and dangerous situation," you are the problem and everyone else can see it.

Well folks, I'm excited to finally be able to announce that this week is my last at Pedestrian Group. It's been a hell of a fun challenge writing spicy content alongside some truly 10/10 humans, but I'm off to try something new and I'm so incredibly hyped. Stay tuned ✨

Bit of news: Today was actually my last day at CNET! ✨
It’s been an eventful few years, with WFH transitions, a grand total of 6 days in the office, a bunch of wacky stories and a genuinely excellent team here in AU.
I’ll be able to share where I’m headed soon 👀

Last night’s 10 year high school reunion featured someone stealing the microphone to beatbox (badly), disgusting bathrooms and people trying to subtly hook up in the Photo Booth. So, high school.

imagine being so validly criticised on your handling of something that your advisors and PR people suggest, "hey, time to bring out the big guns -- you gotta go on radio and deflect everything by talking about a tired rumour that you shit your pants"

Fun fact: Today is my last day with the team at Netflix ANZ and Snack Drawer! I have had a hell of a time forcing LOTR memes onto everyone, but it's time to move onto the next big thing (which I'll be able to talk about soonish!) and I'm so keeeeeen

Earlier this month I published my first big feature for CNET. From mafia propaganda to moral outcry, here's why you probably haven't heard much about water cremation before. I'm really proud of it.

The Australian video game journalism piece is important and covers a lot of necessary ground, but if I’m being candid, as one of the few very lucky people to still be employed and trying to keep it going every day, often these articles make it feel like more of an uphill battle.

I finally got an official ADHD diagnosis last week. Feels like a weird time for it, given everything going on in the news. It's not that I'm not relieved. I am. But I'm also exhausted -- at the process, at the stress, at the surrounding discourse that has been ever-present.
