Hello everyone. After a five month break, I'm back and settling in here. For anyone new, I'm a Melbourne postgraduate student with a background in neuroscience and peer support. I tend to write longer, reflective posts about faith and the small moments of daily life, and I love it when a post turns into a good conversation in the replies. For those who remember me, there is some news. I have almost finished my Master of Counselling and will graduate around July 2027. I have also stepped away from my choral scholar role after several years of singing in the choir. Church is something I'm rethinking at the moment, and I find myself drawn towards contemplative and liturgical spaces while I work out what comes next. Music remains close to my heart. Classical music and live concerts are where I'm happiest, and you may catch me chatting along during ABC Classic broadcasts. I'm also a longtime Apple user who enjoys swapping app tips. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new people here. #Introduction #CounsellingStudent #ClassicalMusic #ChoirLife #Melbourne

The environmental organisation I work for Trust for Nature is currently recruiting for a Senior GIS & Spatial Data Specialist. It’s a #melbourne based 0.8FTE role. The team is working on some interesting projects, you’d be working with some great people and the org is quite good about flexible working arrangements https://trustfornature.org.au/careers/senior-gis-spatial-data-specialist/ #GIS #spatialdata

Hej! Jen #AlternateFridayMusic kun la signalvortoj de: #malgaja ( #bleak ) Kelkaj vivoj estas pli malgajaj ol aliaj, kaj tiuj artistoj de Brisbano kaj Melburno bele esprimas tion en ĉi tiu kanto kaj filmeto. Granda aplaŭdo al @raevan@aus.social kies grupo estas ĉi tiu EKDE TIAM - Paĉjo por la anglalingvanoj: Some lives are bleaker than others and these #brisbane / #melbourne artists capture it beautifully in this song and video. Big shout out to @raevan@aus.social who’s band this is 🎉 (antaŭ unu el miaj instruistoj - bonvulo korekti min! 🤣 ) 🎶 Paĉjo donis al li pistolon Kaj ideojn pri homoj malsamaj al li Li kreskis konfuza, kalkulis kontuzojn kaj deponis multan malamon tre enen de si Je suna mateno li pafis koleron en homplena strato kaj mem manĝis kuglon Cent homojn li murdis cent vivojn abortis Sed kien ni metu la kulpon pri ĉio ĉi 🎶 @dgar@aus.social @electric_gumball@mastodon.social @Bishopjoey@writing.exchange @fc@universeodon.com #esperanto #muziko #ausMusic 4/4

Just now remembering how ten or fifteen years ago my best mate (a bit of a hacker, as well as my business partner) made a small device he'd carry around in his pocket that turned off every tv and display within a few metres. He hated the constant barrage of bright, moving images in public spaces. Anyway, he caused all sorts of havoc if we ever found ourselves in a mall, but it was nice to sit in a pub without big screen tvs blasting football at us. Thinking of him this grand final day in #Melbourne.

“Meta’s main office in Australia remains in Sydney, with its local operations led by British executive William Easton. The $550 million, 51 Flinders Lane building at the Paris end of the #Melbourne CBD was developed by real estate investment manager GPT and built by Lend Lease. An official opening function will be held next week.” “A source connected to the building’s development but unauthorised to speak publicly told this masthead that #Meta had secured the 15th floor of the building’s 39-level south tower for its Melbourne base. The tech group was previously based at 720 Bourke Street in the Docklands,” (paywall)

#Prince & #ChuckD Live in #Melbourne The reason why this is a personal #JukeboxFridayNight #History for me is I was there that night. Story goes Public Enemy had just arrived in Melbourne that day to start their Australia tour and got invites to Prince's gig. Chuck D was told during the start of this bass jam by one of Prince's people that Prince wanted him to come up on stage. This is what happened:

It's still #alternateFridayMusic 🎉 and the cue this week is: #parody Every city has had a band like this. This was the one #Melbourne had: The Late Show - No More Melbourne Clichés 🎶 We went down to a place, I think it was Captain Cook's Cabin. We're not all that sure But at least it rhymes with Moorabbin We've just run out of Melbourne clichés oh nooo, oh nooo ... 🎶 @dgar@aus.social  @electric_gumball@mastodon.social @Bishopjoey@writing.exchange @fc@universeodon.com #ausMusic 2/4

Had a look at the #Melbourne Royal Show showbag selection for the year. Planning to do a longer mockery at some point if people would enjoy that once I get past the initial overwhelm of how badly they’ve enshittified what used to be a fun tradition (Cultural translation: showbags are themed bags of snacks, toys or product samples sold at our equivalent of a state fair)

🐝 NEW: University of #Melbourne researchers logged more than 5,000 bee-flower interactions to map where five native bee species live across the city and which indigenous #plants feed them. Since #nativebees travel only about 100 meters from their nests, connected backyard #gardens can work like a bee highway linking parks and green spaces. 👉 https://phys.org/news/2026-09-vital-native-bee-highway-backyard.html #pollinators #biodiversity #gardening #wildlife #insects #entomology #bees #plants #nature #science #australia #ecology #habitat #conservation
