Calm down people the Sun is just having a little tanty.
I'm getting the hang of using watercolours. It's exciting. πππsrsly, it's cool . I'll post some pics when I do full page.
So, I have a small guilty pleasure now: I downloaded tiktok and am loving all the videos with pets tbh.
TW: DV
But I watch one video by an Aussie lady about women's rights and whatnot, and now tiktok thinks that's all I want to watch. π Like, 4b movement stuff, the rate of homicides, etc. It's interesting but like, also triggering of course. I'm in the process of re-teaching the algorithm or whatever.
But I also feel like I don't have a right to talk about my experience, not because of what they've said or anything like that. But because my abusive ex was male and male presenting for the VAST majority of our relationship, until the last 6 months where they only came out to me about being a tran-woman. So, like, they're part of this super marginalised group, having told their friends I was transphobic. I don't feel like I can talk about it with anyone (besidesy dad and my partner), without, like, playing into that lie they told. I believe they are, of course, trans, but also that they use it as an excuse to not take accountability for their heinous actions. That if I did file a police report, that I'd be called transphobic and a false reporter. What a strange position to be in. Just needed to have a small ranty rant about it, because I haven't seen anyone else anywhere have, or talk about, an experience like mine without also being transphobic. I always feel like if I talk about it, if I don't use the right pronouns, or if I clarify "well they were male, but are now female" it's about women-on-women DV. Which, it wasn't, but is it?
Ugh, just gonna keep saving up for a psych appointment and hopefully I can start feeling better about being in this tiny bubble of one.
A dickhead is a dickhead, no matter what gender they are/were/present as. Bad behaviour/manners should be called out. There's far too much victim blaming happening. Not a situation I've ever faced, so please take that for what its worth, if anything.

Them being trans doesnβt mean that what they did to hurt you wasnβt also abusive. Women - including trans women - are entirely capable of abuse.
I believe you. You deserved better.

It's odd, I watch practically no hyper anxiety producing news anymore, had a bad nightmare about a big terrorist bombing in Africa
don't nightmares come after the stressful event is over?
@Seagoon_ So I really slept in this morning.
Is everyone's electrical gadgets still working? No big blackouts?
everything seems fine and normal here
Ted Cat is starving and complaining, he can't believe he's not allowed to eat Bill's food. They are both on a diet and slowly losing weight.
Just a reminder to everyone if people are asking you for free tech support you're good until monday just blame the solar storm.
Edit that didn't last long. Just got a call from mum.. netflix not working. She had turned off the wifi :(
Why yes I can clearly see your TV is unplugged but yes it is not working because of electromagnetic disturbances
Gym achieved. Gentle gym, but gym.
Now I can slow it down a tad
I know it's literally light rail but watching how far the other states will contort a sentence to avoid saying 'tram' is fucking hilarious to me
Is Biggest Morning Tea stuff happening at the moment? There's an event I might go to happening today and I think it's part of the morning tea stuff
Rebel Yell came on just as I got to the last hill this morning, doggo kicked into gear and started galloping instead of his usual trot, and I ended up getting a PB. Sub 25m/5k, which I'm very happy with.
Was supposed to go visit friends this weekend but the replacement busses will make the journey almost 4 hours one way.
Fucking hell. Was really looking forward to it as well.
I hate that shit so much. Makes seeing my Dad in the SE that much more difficult. Totally get ya, hopefully, one day, there will be actual PT at some point lol
Thumb wound day 6. I don't believe I'll need to amputate
spoiler
Draw eyeballs on it
A mighty fine scar! You have done battle with the GODS and have come out with an epic scar to show! Slay, King!
I couldn't have done it without the love and support of everyone here β€οΈ

Croatia have got this shit locked up with this year. Iβve only seen final 1 so far but nothing else was half as memorable as baby lasagna. Though looks like cypressβs approach of βrent an Aussieβ might pay dividends this year!
Finlandβs song is pretty memorable too, Iβve only seen semi final 1. Ireland was good. But Croatia is the strong favourite.
He does love me lol
Oh my god how cute!
He beats me up, out of love π
My reddit accounts got caught up in r/australia's ban evasion AI nonsense and I got mega banned, no more helpful comments for people bad at google I guess. I liked being helpful there. It'll give me more time to be helpful elsewhere I guess.
I'm sorry but why were you mega banned? Explain like I'm stewpid.
What I think happened:
- First account banned on r/australia only by AI for inciting violence on r/australia for technical discussion of BJJ. I appealed the ban.
- Second account, I messaged the r/australia mods to ban the account so I didn't get busted for ban evasion. Ban given.
- First account has AI ban revoked. I eventually make a comment on r/australia, ban evasion bots see the IP or email address attached to the account matches their shitlist, bots go into ban evasion mode, accounts get permanently suspended.
- I had about seven reddit accounts. A bunch of novelty ones made during lockdown. I requested bans from r/australia on these accounts, I only got temp 28 day bans on some. I eventually made a comment on r/australia, got the ban evasion message from r/australia auto-mod, replied impolitely that I'd already reqested a ban months ago and I was glad to be banned. All my reddit accounts got nuked. New accounts from IP or email get nuked. New account from temp email and vpn is fine.
i think.
Oh

Youβve described my relationship with carsaustralia perfectly. Just with a bit of added snark towards Mazda diesels.
Organised myself a car for the day. Organised my shopping lists...got to the goget bay...forgot the little swipe card thing.
An hour later back home and starting over again. Don't try to do things before your morning coffee kiddoes

I wonder if this geomagnetic storm is setting off fire evacuation alarms in the city, or if people are just extra unlucky burning their toast this morning.
There has not been a particularly high volume of alarms this morning, it must just be randomly near you.
Just an unlucky streak for the buildings near me I guess.
I can't call in any strategems.
That community basically cyber bullied Sony into retracting that requirement lol
Did the grid get messed up? I ran around plugging in all the battery packs last night haha
Yeah I wonder if there have been any anomalous readings at the peer companies. But as far as I know nothing much yet except aurora
