Hello cringey new year’s resolution!

Hello hello. Long-time no see. Never fear, I’m here, and I’m back with my top 5 songs that got me through the month of January! I bet you all were waiting with bated breath for this one, weren’t you? This is the first time I will ever have to start one of these off with…
The highlights of 2021
Happy New Year friends! I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 2022… And by that I mean I am absolutely petrified for what the next year will bring. I feel like we are at the beginning of 2020 take 2. 2020 two? 2020 too? It’s gonna be a shit show. Can’t wait until it’s…
The story of Christmas 2015
It’s a tradition in my household to sit in front of Carols by Candlelight every Christmas Eve regardless of the quality of singing.

My top 5 songs that got me through November
Happy December! Happy festive season! Happy hot vaxxed (and hopefully not too rainy) summer! And happy Spotify Wrapped day! We made it to the end of November besties, and some things happened.

Mary-Anne’s story
“The Assembly has no power to make laws permitting or having the effect of permitting… the form of intentional killing of another called euthanasia (which includes mercy killing) or the assisting of a person to terminate his or her life.” It’s been 25 years since the Andrews bill passed in the federal government, disallowing Australian…
My top 5 songs that got me through September
Ah September. What a shit show. I really racked up the Spotify listening minutes this month, but that’s not unusual in the slightest. I spend so much time listening to music on normal days and in normal life, but having not a lot else to do over the past few weeks has only increased that.…
