    Sorry, just an awful day.

    one of the main newspapers I used to read , the washington post, has just gotten so bad I have lost all faith in it. This was the paper that brought down nixon

    now the internets is becoming more insecure, I’m finding it hard to trust

    i just want some real facts i can trust so i can understand the world around me

    and I’m moving house, which is a long term good but a short term pain ,

    i miss my friends overseas so much 😢

    maybe a rest then a cool shower then some me time to refresh myself before I keep at doing stuff

      I feel for you mate. When I was younger, moving house was an exciting adventure and opportunity for newness. Now the thought of moving is an ordeal. Also the decline in journalistic standards in many formerly great news bearers is bordering on criminal ineptitude and a bloody disgrace. If it helps, I read AP, Reuters, IA, Guardian Australia on Bluesky, SBS and ABC, Science alert, The Conversation, Crikey Daily, The Shot and Inside Story ( plus The Chaser and The Shovel because a girl’s gotta have fun sometimes). Michael West is also good but frustratingly the stuff I was most interested in was often paywalled and I cannae afford to pay 😔. I’ve found these sources to be generally reliable, with our own ABC disappointingly and sadly being the weakest link here.
