'...a bit "how ya goin'?"'

I'm not sure as to the extent of spread of this phrase throughout Australia but it is common among the tradies of my family. It indicates a sorry state of things or poor quality.

Usage example:

  • Ray: g'day bob. I see we're tackling the front door today?
  • Bob: yeah. Door's solid but the jam's a bit "how ya goin'?".
  • Ray: won't hold a screw?
  • Bob: yeah, like me missus 😆

We must limit executive overreach.

# 🚨 URGENT: CALL TO ACTION 🚨

The current administration has made it clear: profits over people. We refuse to stand by while they dismantle our rights, our communities, and our #future.

We are not just numbers. We are not just #consumers. We are the #People.

We reject #fascism. We reject the #oligarchy. We reject any system that places #profit, #power, or #privilege over human #dignity.

50501 is not just a movement—it’s a national call for justice that’s already making waves. On February 5th, thousands of you showed up, proving that when we rise together, we are unstoppable.

Now, we need you again.

***This is our next moment. Our next stand. Our next show of strength.***

On February 17th, we unite nationwide for a Day of #Action.

A day to #resist. A day to #disrupt. A day to #reclaim our power.

We are asking YOU to take 5 Steps of #Resistance:

🔥 1. SHOW UP: Attend or #organize a #protest in your city. Make our #voices impossible to ignore.

🧠 2. STRATEGIZE: Meet with local #organizers. Strengthen our #movement from the ground up.

📢 3. FLOOD THE SYSTEM: Call, #email, and write to your representatives—demand action and #accountability.

✊ 4. AMPLIFY: Bring at least one new person into the movement. Grow our force.

💙 5. PROTECT YOUR POWER: Take a moment of self-care. Your joy, your rest, and your #resilience are acts of #defiance.

**📅 Mark your calendar. Spread the word. Be ready.**

🚨 FEBRUARY 17 – WE RISE TOGETHER. 🚨

Since #sermons are trending (well not exactly) and people were asking about having our #voices online, here is a link to my work YouTube channel in all its amateur glory, where the full service is streamed every week. This one is about slavery. It is on the book of Philemon. The sermon starts 25 min in. I #preach extempore, in the #Presbyterian tradition. So I don’t follow a lectionary. I do this week by week, it is my calling. But somehow on social media I am shy of it.
