West Aussies, Cookie wants your feedback on changing public holidays to match the eastern states.

Tell him what you think (which of course is that we want more. Apparently we get the least in the country?!)

For purely selfish reasons I'd support celebrating the Kings Birthday in June and moving WA Day, so I can occasionally have a public holiday on my birthday.

This is not the #90s indie band that was on Sub-Pop. This is the Australian band from Perth with loose connections to the group Tame Impala.

Kind of a cool sound; way more screwed and psychedelically fucked than their previous efforts. It’s definitely my favorite album of theirs, and definitely the most engaging to MY ears. Lots of surprising musical twists and turns, and unpredictable.

Give this a try.

I masked in the supermarket this afternoon. KN95

Saw one other mask- surgical, worn covering only the chin.

2 local hospitals are "suggesting" to staff that they mask due to increased Covid and flu.
Not "recommending", not "advising", not "requiring".
Just suggesting.

My confidence in #PublicHealth has declined further.

My kid is on her way home today after a semester abroad at the University of Western Australia in Perth. We had a wonderful visit with her in March and I cannot wait to see her again 🥰

A huge thank you, Perth, for existing. I will see you again someday. Sooner rather than later I hope.
