Applying for a USI - Unique Student Identifier
So I can enrol in a Construction Induction Training course
So I can apply for an owner builder permit
So I can apply for a Construction Certificate
So I can put a window in a wall
Fuck my administrative life😐

#robodebt here's what slightly nonplusses me about media's coverage: there's a lot of talk of how it broke the laws of the land, but more fundamentally, it broke the laws of *reality*.
If you earned $4 then QED you earned $2 + $2. Not $3 +$1. Or $2.7 + $1.3. It has to be $2 +$2.
That's not how arithmetic or reality works.

Jay Rosen"Not the odds but the stakes."
That's my shorthand for what we most need from election coverage in 2024. Not who has what chances of winning, but the consequences for our democracy. Not the odds, but the stakes.

Just wanted to complement NYT on their excellent choice of word. Glad to see that they've taken my feedback on board and are now exclusively selecting words from "Jane and Peter Go To The Seaside"
Chalk it up to my own ignorance. But Wordle again feels like the game of "Is this a legitimate Scrabble word?"

Fuck off
Then fuck off all the way
And then fuck off even further
And when you've fucked of a little further even
Then go fuck yourself as hard as you can
