Congrats, Prime Minister Albanese

An older lady asked me yesterday what my favourite thing about living in Australia is. My strong temptation* was to say “A functional democracy.” 🙃 Mandatory voting; preferential voting; voting on Saturday; voting on paper with pencils; democracy sausages – it’s all wonderful. Last week when I was scrambling to get packed and catch my flight to the funeral, I ducked into an early voting place to cast my vote. I was in and out in < 5 minutes. And today I was delighted to wake up and see the outcome, an utter rejection of Trumpism… THANK YOU, MY FELLOW AUSSIES! ❤️🇦🇺

* I didn’t say that, of course. I’m in Indiana. I just mumbled something about preferring it there.

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
