As is tradition we held our annual "Batshit Aussie Moment of The Year" poll on twitter this month, and as is also tradition it was a complete dumpster fire and we ended up having to delete our account again. Such is life, as the French don't say.
Nevertheless we had a lot of great nominations from what was truly a year full of the utmost topshelf batshittery which we shan't be letting go to waste. So we preset:
Batshit Aussie Moments of The Year, The Now Undemocratic Countdown
Leading the nominations there was of course Raygun, the little Aussie PHD breakdancer that couldn't. Recently she has trademarked her name and there was a whole lawsuit around using it so no further comment on that.
Dr Ray was followed close in second place by Australia's former Deputy Prime Minister being filmed drunkenly making phonecalls while sprawled across a sidewalk.
This glorious video saw the good people of Australia rise to the occasion with all the pisstaking the moment deserved, complete with chalk crime scene markings, a plaque being installed, and a candlelight vigil held by locals.
Also making a strong showing in the polls was Australia's richest woman Gina Rinehart pulling a Barb Streisand by demanding her unflattering portrait be removed from Australia's National Art Gallery, which of course made it immediately go viral.
Lol. Also noteworthy in the nominations was the horse that escaped its enclosure and tried to flee by catching a train, making national news headlines in the process.
But for all those big names/horses who we're sure would love the limelight, the crown title of this year's Batshit Aussie Moment of The Year is being awarded to a regular everyday Aussie (and tumblr user) who fought the system and (almost) won:
After 23 year old Aussie racecar driver Oscar Piastri won the Hungarian Grand Prix, our very own @the-prophesied-mouse "jokingly submitted an e‒petition" to Australia's parliament asking that the day become a public holiday, "assuming it would get thrown out".
Instead their request for a yearly national "Oscar Piastri Day" crossed the threshold of signatures required for a response, being then escalated all the way to the Prime Minister's desk after the responding minister decided it was of utmost importance.
After being sternly considered by no less than three government ministers, sadly in November it was declared that the petition would not be ratified, due to the small issue of the federal government not having the power to create holidays (it's apparently a state thing).
The government did however point out that many national days are celebrated without official proclamation from the Australian government, and so it is, with the powers vested in us by all you loveable weirdos, that we do solemnly declare from this day forth that the 21st July shall be forever known as Oscar Piastri Day, and may all non-believers fear our wrath.
Anyway, happy new year to you all from us here in Aus. Farewell to a truly Batshit year, and here's to no doubt more of the same in 2025. We will leave you with this heartfelt reminder of a true national treasure we lost this year, the progenor of perhaps the most iconic Aussie batshit moment of all time, The Right Hon. Mr Democracy Manifest:
Happy new years to youze all!
I’m so honoured omg
Happy Holidays! I hope you all get to eat an endless amount of good food like your stomach is a blackhole!
He was as tall as he was tall, and his eyes were the color they were. To describe his hair one would say that he had some. His face had all the features you'd expect, and none of the ones you wouldn't. "There he is," people would often say of him, but only when he was there. And they were right.

Things going well is pretty nice and all but by god does it decimate your excuses. You'll be sleepy at work and be like "by god, I'm not even besieged by the horrors currently. I just need to go to bed earlier."

@guerrilla gardeners, solarpunks and plantarchists of all stripes we need to make a good guide to growing food stealthy style
i'm talking growing in rental properties without alerting the landlord, growing on vacant/unused land, stuff like that
Blackberries are great for colonising legitimately unused and neglected (as in: NOT regularly Cut/mowed) Land in places where the climate Supports blackberries, they have a LONG fruiting season, their fruits have literal superfood properties, they are VERY ecologically impactful (as shelter for many Kinds of insects and songbirds), they can make Things disappear in less than a year (Like If kudzu was a bisexual Mom with a quirky but unobjectionable Hobby and a favorite Coffee mug, rather than an eldritch being, but with the Same superpower), they keep their leaves on for much longer than Most trees, Up to year-round If the Temperature doesn't drop much below -5°C in winter (which May be useful If you need a continuous supply of Small quantities of fresh leaves for some reason), and they are even reasonably easy to get rid of with the Help of goats and/or Power Tools. Not at all stealthy, though, but the best Part is they come in spiky and thornless varieties, so they are even suitable for signalling how "aggressively" the Person who planted them feels about their Solarpunk Values.
Last Summer I Made seed-balls by mushing fruits from the only thornless Blackberry plant in my mum's Garden, with Lathyrus and Oregano and Lemon-balm seeds, and drying that Up with powdered Clay.
Wild blackberries my beloved. Nature's razor wire. Reckless and wild generosity. They often protect areas like little creeks and thickets where birds live. "Stay the hell away! The lives of the small things are safe here!"
The blackberries in my back yard are so sour and bitter, but the blackberries in the forest at work along the trail are absolutely delicious. Maybe when I learn to be kinder to the blackberry, the blackberry will be kinder to me.
Heartwarming story: Little girl doesn’t have to do anything to fund her dad’s surgery because his expenses are covered by his country’s universal healthcare.
Human determination: Man bikes 18 miles to work every morning because he wants to and not because he can’t afford a car and would be fired if he’s late.
Spirit of Brotherhood: Neighbors host housewarming party for elderly resident who doesn’t need help in paying rent because his pension is more than enough.
SO INSPIRING: Local middle school students bake dozens of cupcakes because their home economics class is doing a baking unit. Their school is fully funded with everything they need.
[there is not a headline here about corporations doing something ethical and eco-friendly, because that should be normal rather than newsworthy]
Fun fact for our international followers: If someone in Australia cuts down a tree on public land to improve the view from their house, the local government will install a sign to block that view again
this is the sexiest thing i have ever seen
alright everyone, we’re picking ourselves up and going again. We’re putting ice on our split lips and busted knuckles. We’re doing our dishes and our laundry even if it stays hanging on the line for four days. We’re texting our friends back. We’re wiping the dust off our clothes. We’re booking and attending medical appointments. We’re taking the empty dishes out of our bedrooms. We’re sitting outside in the sunshine. We’re holding our heads up. We’re apologising to the people we’ve hurt. We’re forgiving ourselves.
sorry i haven't replied i dont feel like a person
How will you make a homunculus
Brewed from bodily fluids and fed with human blood
Carved from pine wood and blessed by the fey
Stitched together from corpses and kissed by lightning
Made from snow and ice and enchanted by a magician
Baked with ginger and allspice and doomed to be eaten
