[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I guess since I was so late nobody saw so nobody claimed it. Rip

Useful shopping this weekend for some winter clothes which needed replacing. 2 hoodies and a pair of track pants. Looking forward to coziness. Although it’s annoying that things just don’t last like they used to, quality is so much lower than it used to be.

I think I prefer more time in the morning. I liked how it took so long to get to midday today.

I was thinking: maybe I could be one of those people who goes around to schools and talks to the students about the realities of drug addiction.

Maybe.

TIL that little flappy bird thing that seems to be everywhere is called Pam

I'm not clicking because like, it's the Harold scum, I'm not a boomer. But I've been wondering what the go is behind it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Cool. I love Pam. The little birds make me happy as I go into work on the train and I was looking at the long chain near southern cross on the weekend

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't really mind the ones that are painted on blank surfaces like on the backside of the freeway signs and near socro, but I do mind the ones painted directly on the trains. There's a few posts on his insta where he's tagged up an entire train with massive birds covering the windows, which forces trains to be pulled out of service and cleaned. He's even done a few directly onto the drivers cab windscreens, which forces the train to be taken out of service wherever it's noticed

Yeah agreed 💯

No idea, I haven’t seen one (at least that I took notice of) BUT, does that man have a dog or a goat with him? I mean dog makes sense, but it really looks like a goat.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Apparently the bird also has an instagram account. Yes its a goat. Don't even ask

I see it a lot around the city and inner west, usually along rail corridors. But apparently it's on freeway signs and such too

There's like 3 dozen along the fencing in front of the west melb alstom depot on the way into southern cross, from about here to southern cross

I'm pooped, did a lot on my list.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Don't be poop :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

TIL pooped and pooped are two different words entirely

I should announce that I am making a short blast on a horn when I go poop.

Stopping by after a very long absence to introduce you all to Mabel:

spoiler

and here’s a video of her being adorable

I am OBSESSED with her and I am just showing her off to every single person I’ve ever met.

7:30 and I’m ready for bed. Was awake at 6 tho.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I hear you.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Looking forward to the reunion for mafs, last few episodes have been a snore fest. Don't think I'll be watching future seasons though, been getting more and more obvious with the forced storylines by the producers and clear terrible matches.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Sometimes I read the mafs subreddit despite never having seen an episode.

It's oddly entertaining.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

It's so dark 😓

I almost want to turn the heater on for emotional support. But it's 19 degrees inside so I will refrain. But it looks cold.

It really doesn't help that I've just returned from 10 days in a tropical island resort. It's like being plunged into winter all at once.

tonight for dinner I am making tex chili

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (5 children)

Pretty sure I’ve had my last friend step down to acquaintance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Want to write something nice, but also I know the feeling so will just say hang in there.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Hugs. I prefer animals to people, no bullshit games.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Ouch, I'm so sorry ❤️

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

ooh that one will hurt.

We are here for you.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Thank you, collectively

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

oh no , so many hugs

I feel like life is slowly grinding me down.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

That and seems like it’s Groundhog Day. Definitely not just you feeling this way….

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think a lot of us experience something similar every now and then. A feeling of hopelessness and heaviness and inertia. Hopefully you can walk through it and out the other side. Hugs.
