that was a looong sleep

what a weird dream, I dreamt I went to some not famous fashion designer in Rio of all places to get a party dress. I chose something simple and elegant in sky blue.

A person with the surname 'Hands' logged a ticket today saying 'Could you please assist me with [blahblahblah]' and I feel like she missed the greatest opportunity.

we're doing a welcome to country before every meeting now?!

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Is this any different to standing up and singing God Save the King/Queen/Whatever or the 'National Anthem' before sporting events? A ritual to be gabbled through before the real business begins. As such, it's a travesty of what such a welcome should be.

Yep, you'd find I'd have the exact same reaction to god save the king before each meeting. Are we really gonna do this 6 or 7 times a week?

I like when we have an elder do a welcome to country. It's different and always pretty cool.

Doing the acknowledgement before every meeting is basically tokenism at this point.

Welcome to country, or acknowledgement of country?

I'm pretty sure a welcome to country should only be done by a first people's elder (or representative)

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

they said "welcome to country" but I suspect they meant acknowledgment.

Stay safe Bac!

Surprisingly, the plants on the patio held up surprisingly well. One had been knocked out of its pot and ended up upside down (no clue where the pot is), but the rest are still there

Image ft. Plant reveal (even though like 90% of them are dead now ๐Ÿ˜”):

It's a bit chaotic. I inherited it all from the LT that moved out a few months ago. Unfortunately I'm still trying to figure out how to keep things alive and ended up killing most of them. Gonna do a spring clean next month though

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure I heard some things toppling last night but I have a trajillion other priority things to do today so I'm not even going to look at anything until tomorrow tbh
