Thinking.
There are so many people I have a lot in common with and could get along with really well - if they would treat me with respect.
They’re always so shocked and angry when you set a boundary or leave, too. Like… you expect me to just take that?
ok guys, it’s bed time
good night, sweet dreams 😘😘😘
Got a new phone and now I’ve been locked out of my banking app in trying to set it up 🤦🏼♀️ Will have to sort it out tomorrow. I’m kind of annoyed.
Anyone looking for ideas for carpet?
here's an idea for you!
Just think, someone had to make that carpet, someone else had to decide to stock it to sell, and someone else had to buy it for this to happen. So many people you have to wonder “what were they thinking?!”
It’s giving suburban RSL or casino vibes
how did you find MILs 70s carpet? She had lovely matching shantung cushions and curtains.
looked like a cinema or hotel
I love that vibe
i like something a little more calming
Fair enough.
akshully , I do very plain walls and rugs and stuff , that’s so I can cover the walls with art prints, with reliefs and the shelves with object .
So 70s chic.
I have to admit I kinda like it. Then again, I grew up in a brown Berber and fake walnut veneer paradise so anything oddly colourful appeals to me.
Having some colour is definitely good. Especially atfer looking too long at the modern grey look everything is done in these days. But there can be too much of a good thing.
Walks across the room

Just saw first comedy show if the season. So so good. Saw: He Huang (absolute best of the night), Nazeem Hussein, Dave Hughes, and an Australian/African girl who’s name I sadly forgot who was second best for me - has her own show and is going to be on taskmaster this season. It was a work social club thing and I almost bailed but I’m so glad it didn’t. Buzzing 😊
I’m watching the festival supershow on telly atm - so many great performances
Partner officially diagnosed with ADHD, and a treatment plan now in place. I’m so proud of him!
We got back to Brunswick, had a couple of Doppel Ename from Mokum, and then got some beer from Blackhearts and Sparrows. It’s been a lovely birthday.
Thank you all so much for your birthday wishes and good vibes!! I don’t know where I would be without you all! 💜💜💜
Ooh belated happy birthday and congrats on the diagnosis for the spud adjacent human.
Aweeesooomee.
From a spousal perspective: you know how sometimes you feel like you’re dealing with a toddler and want to stuff them in the toilet? Meds will help drop that shit riiiight down
I feel it in my bones lol 😂
Is it wrong to call out for some spare dexies? Asking for a friend.
I found a bag of meth I’m not planning on taking.
I don’t need meth. I’ve seen what that does. No thank you.
Homeopathic that shit, put it in a litre of water, then put 10ml into another litre of water then take a few drops on sugar pills. Back yard dexies here ya go.
You ask a cancer patient for some spare fentanyl? Don’t dude that dude, c’mon.
Relax hun, it was a joke yeah. Relax.
“hook us up bruh, I have an exam tomorrow!”
I can’t spare a square.
On the reptile train today aswell.
Ol’ boy caught this (in the wild) on his trip to N. vic last w/e.
I’ve never seen one in person.
bearded dragon?
that’s so cool.
Suddenly have an absolutely raging craving for prawns. Nice juicy prawn heads drowning in flavour… maybe a nice prawn curry or tacos… that’ll be tomorrow’s treat.
Meanwhile it’s back to having the fan on full blast to try and get to sleep. Too hot in here!
Full moon this weekend. Plus hotter than expected weather. Expect weird shit to go down. Not liking the vibe rn. I will be avoiding crowds this weekend.
I’ve been on the fence about going out, but now my interest is piqued further.
Just a feeling in my bones. Don’t get these often but I’ve learned to listen. Stay safe everyone.
Aww man, I was gonna go see the Minecraft movie
You still can. Just be careful.
Awooooooò.
Gonna be a lot of bungholes out there
Nope
I am the great cornholio!
I need TP for my bunghole
Are you threatening me!?
Average conversation in my area…
are those those burrowing owls? So cute.
there’s a movie about 'em https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoot_(film)
Yeah burrowing owls. I wish I was cute and fluffy and could hide in a hole in the ground…
like a hobbit?
Exactly like a hobbit
Went to the gym at lunchtime today. It’s 2 doors down, then got some sushi as a treat.
I usually just wander around aimlessly on lunch breaks so I’m glad I’m getting my workout without having to wake up at 5am or get home late.
My kingdom for a chicken stock cube 👑
I’ve got chicken, beef and vegetable. And I’ll throw in some vegan stock cubes completely free.
My mash is forever grateful 🫡🗡️
Anything other than OXO is disgraceful.
I have some but can’t throw that far
I thank you squire! 🗡️ you are a knight of the realm. 🗡️
Hold on a minute…
Ok, catch!
Why can't we buy this style of non-permanent pet door in Australia?
Akshully, Bunnings has inserts with dog doors that can be put in floor to ceiling glass doors. Basically a long thin strip with a dog door at the bottom. The one in the picture looks pretty amazing though.
They do, I have one I use at my parent’s place. But if you don’t have a sliding door they are not much use.
anyone else got that “First hot day of spring” kind of high thanks to the weather?
Feels like summer, looks distinctly autumn through with the trees changing colours. It’s weird but I don’t hate not being cold.
A bit, but looking at the forecast, bloody hell it just looks like summer redux - 28-31 from Sunday through to Wednesday?! Throw some cool days in there mang… this isn’t the autumn I signed up for 😭
Nah. It’s more “last bit of summer” “what big items can I wash?” before hibernation starts for me.
Yep. Definitely wash-the-oodie weather
I’m gonna pressure wash a rug.
Very satisfying.
Melbourne black ibises.
Huh… different park, but the ones at mine were eating these…

When this under 16 ban comes in I’m going to lose all the collected art resources I carefully organised and all my YouTube playlists…
VPNs get you banned or shadowbanned but kids under 16 won’t care. They could just keep churning through a bunch of new accounts, the disposability encouraging them to do whatever they want.
But for me when I’m unwell and can’t do much else I spend a lot of time collecting and organising reference photos, art tutorials, and posts with links to free art books. There’s a few years worth that will be near impossible to back up.
And I don’t know what sites will be affected which makes it hard to even try to start migrating.

(‘Download account’ options never seem to work - I always end up having to go back and do it manually.)
Even if I buy a dedicated external drive then screenshot and paste links it will be hard to preserve sources or keep images and related information together. It’s a mammoth task to do manually and the old fashioned way. Archiving is literally a job. And you can’t go back to look at them without a login.
For the YouTube playlists maybe I can screenshot to be able to find some difficult to search stuff later, or paste the titles into a mega document, but oh man. Not a good solution.
It will also cut me off from a lot of other artists.
This crap isn’t going to do anything but punish disabled people who spend a lot of time online and people who care about privacy.
But that’s the Australian government’s way. Make grand promises (usually involving “protecting the children”) and then do something that doesn’t work - and has unintended consequences.
I have much more to say about that but I’m tired -_-
have you tried proton or Tor? They give privacy.
I could but at the moment it might be a bit of a steep learning curve for me. And if it gets picked up as changing where my traffic comes from I’ll probably be banned (so instead of inaccessible everything would just be gone)
