In 2019 the Victoria Police’s Critical Incident Response Team raided Hares and Hyenas, a gay bookstore, in a no-knock raid.
They did not identify themselves as police and assaulted the store's owner.
In 3 years, no cop has seen any kind of consequence.

There's a beautiful, little-known island in South Carolina where mysterious pottery washes ashore and you can stay in Ted Turner's house. Read about it! (It was written by my Especial Lady Friend)

Vale Renée Geyer. I saw her sing 'Die Motherfucker Die' while dressed as a 19th century nanny in a bizarre production of Sleeping Beauty in 2007 and she was thrillingly terrifying. Extraordinary talent gone far too soon.

Hey , your For You feed (which, parenthetically I don’t want), just showed me tweets from a locked account I don’t follow because someone I do follow replied to them. This is a massive privacy problem, don’t you agree?

Hey , these are the investment ads using celebrity identities that you’re running in your story about scam investment ads stealing celebrities’ identities. You even name-check the guy in the ad you’re running as one of the identities being used. Maybe check that?

So there's a particular quirk of English grammar that I've always found quite endearing: the exocentric verb-noun compound agent noun.
It appears in a definite, remarkably narrow period - not more than 150, 200 years - before dying out, leaving loads of legacy words in its wake.

I loved it as well. The ending, especially, was a brilliant, joyous, madcap ride, culminating in sweetness. A really stellar book! We’re preordering anything you write, even if it were a parts catalogue!🤩💛🦎

Finally finished The Chameleon Thief! Perrin (11), said it was the best ending ever, and he loves Attica Stone and can’t wait to read more about her. He also thinks you should make merch: T-shirts, pins, Ian the Chameleon and Denise the Kraken plushies, etc.😍
