@b0rk look to see if there's a structural thing that could make bugs like this hurt less! Example from this week was looking at a retry that went off way too hard and asking if we could get it onto a more controlled retry schedule

@mclayfield the outstation gallery and the northern centre for contemporary art in parap are worth a look. Skip mindil but do go to the parap and rapid creek markets (and possibly the other smaller ones) and arrive hungry.

@mclayfield cool!

@MondayStory I really need to get an ice cream maker so I can try these recipes

@MondayStory the one I heard about is their strawberry sorbet food52.com/recipes/12934-…, but they also have a lemon recipe with Secret Banana chatelaine.com/recipe/dessert…

@MondayStory have you seen the river cafe's "just blend the whole lemon" sorbet recipe?

@GabrielleBates Clouds of Sils Maria

@mclayfield which bakery do you get yours from tho?

@murpharoo I would love to know what "vigilant public health measures" looks like exactly

I'm gonna need @pedestriandaily to do an explainer on the capybara @GuardianAus bird of the year thing

@CaseyBriggs do you know if they have numbers internally about how the infectiousness in the community breaks down when it isn't under investigation any more?

@OmarjSakr is this what #justiceforamo feels like?!???

@vbhvsgr one of us! one of us!
