Good lord now things are warming up again my m. deliciosa is cooking up a new leaf. This thing is already nearly touching the ceiling. If I stop shitposting on here it’s because it has claimed me as fertiliser.
Feed me Seymour
How’d you get this pic of my bedroom? 👀
It’s not in your bedroom anymore… the plant can walk now
Can we all just bask in the lovely warm feeling that hanson has zero legal recourse now if you refer to her loudly and publicly as a racist
Maybe she’ll stop getting a weekly spot on Sunrise now
There really should be more politicians of a working class background representing the interests of ordinary people… instead we get that. :(
Also it’s a bit rich for an Aussie to tell anyone to go back where they came from…
Also it’s a bit rich for an Aussie to tell anyone to go back where they came from…
It’s because those Aussies don’t see First Nations as actual real people with rights lol
Yeah, Terra Nullius and all that. It’s fucked.
Absolutely. The only good things from when I went to Uni was doing the aboriginal languages, and first nations culture. I have a lot of sources I saved to whip out for deniers haha.
There’s a harrowing recount of a massacre, written by a modern woman as a retort to another bloke who denies the genocides (they’re both academics), and I like to pull that one out for the shock value. I have it available but it’s nsfw
I once saw an interview on ABC of an old farmer from Gippsland , this was over 30 years ago, where he talks about giving local first nation families sacks of poisoned flour. He talked of finding the dead families, children included. He had no sense of shame or guilt. So the interview is about 40 years old now and the guy was about 80 talking about when he was in his 20s and 30s, so this was maybe 100 years ago, that’s still 20th century.
This is what it was like, individuals like this evil bastard committing murder.
I don’t know if there was any organisation by or talk among farmers to commit systematic genocide.
That is actually foul af, evil. I had not heard about that! Good fucking lord what the actual fucking fuck
I have heard of two instances from the mouths of the perps. The Gippsland one and Northern Territory.
It was farmers, always graziers.
They would run families away from natural watering holes too, ( who would then of course die of thirst or hunger. ) There is a chapter on that in “We of the Never Never”.
Went for a walk down at Point Nepean and checked out some of the old structures. Fascinating stuff. So bloody thankful to live here! Now time for some drinks, music and chilling out!
From this side (bellarine) we call that “the dark side”.
I will wave at you from across the bay :)
But… like… do you have cookies?
Ahh i fucking love fort Nepean. Fun fact: first allies shots of both world wars were fired from down there
That link literally says people who think the wwi shot was fired from queenscliff are wrong
Yeah but we called it. Point Nepean missed though not our fault.
Yeah the command and barracks were (and still are) in Queenscliff, who the fuck would want to live on point nepean. There’s a reason they put the quarantine station out there.
I’m going to revs tomorrow night.
Fuck it.
That doesn’t sound right. Isn’t there a 24/7 number?
I ran em. Need to present photo ID at a branch…
Dafuq, what kind of bank locks you out over the weekend??! Surely there’s a way through. People get stuck overseas at all hours AEST…
Need to present at a branch with ID
Oh man. The hops which they send you through to fix your account is atrocious.
My one beef is that they keep sliming down branch locations and opening hours and it’s next to impossible to get it fixed at times.
I hope it’ll be fixed for you soon. Keep us updated!
That sounds really messed up. How on earth would this be managed if you were overseas?! And with branches being few and far between this really sucks. After the commbank outage recently I’m starting to think it might be beneficial to have accounts with multiple banks as a backup.
If you were out east side I’d spot you some cash… will you be OK for today and tomorrow?
I really, really appreciate that. That’s incredibly kind of you ❤️ I reached out to a friend who was happy to help out.
But again, thank you :)
Have you got food and a little cash? Hoping the weekend flies by
Yeah I’m OK. I frantically messaged a friend and he was super cool about it. I feel really grateful for that :)
You gotta stop giving those drug dealers an upfront payment before getting the goods. Especially if they tell you to desposit it via cashapp or PayPal lol.
Always cash when buying, and no pre-payment lol
Nah jokes aside that’s fucked up! Like wtf? And the fact they did it on the weekend when they aren’t open is evil. There isn’t an after hours number you could call? Or something you could do via the online portal? Idk I’m sorry
Gibson must have been buying catnip and temptations treats from the dark Web lol
But yeah it sucks. Mate jumped in and helped :)
I did 3 pullups today
💪
I can’t even do one.
Yeah, but you’re juggling some manner of complicated health issue - I do not know what, and I’m not going to ask because that’s your business, but you’re very open about the notion that your health is complex.
The benchmarks might be in different places for you
Yeah that’s true.
It’s probably a good thing, if I had the physical ability there’s no telling what I’d get up to
It took me like six months
Go you! How did you train for it?
Pull up machine to reduce my weight to build up
And also just jumpng, holding the position, and then slowly lowering over time.
Strong! I couldn’t do one now but I went from 0 to 12 in about 9 months a few years back. I know how hard it is! Keep at at it 💪💪💪 Edit: don’t mean to one up you. The first one is the hardest, if you’re at three now it’s going to be easier from here to build.
Nice work!!! Better than not doing them at all!! 3 pull-ups are hard! I can’t even do one lol Very proud of you!! And you should be very proud of yourself too! 💜
Where is the sun?
Doo doo doo doo
Where is the sun? And I say
It’s not alright
🥶🥶🥶
(Maybe I have a fever because I am shivering)
peeks through the window
Nope gone.
Things feel pretty hopeless lately but I’ve got a furry baby asleep on my chest so I stick it out
I’m glad you two have each other <3
Ended up making a shit tonne of food, in addition to the dal and the slow cooked jackfruit, made a massive broccoli and pea and cashew curry that is bloody delicious if I say so myself. Not much progress with the jars and haven’t started pantry cull yet. But I don’t mind because I have momentum and a plan… and had a few nice family chats today so that was worth it.
Downside is I’ve picked up a nasty headache out of nowhere this arvo. I’m going to dish out this food, chuck everything in the dishwasher (I will fucking miss this dishwasher), finish the leftovers and call it a day. Gotta love winding down to Fresh Produce on PBS
Your food sounds awesome! Sometimes I get a mid afternoon headache from standing at a prep bench all day. It’s something to do with the angle of your neck. I hope you feel better soon!
Oh, I hadn’t thought about neck angle at all! That’s something to keep in mind. I’m really glad to read that you’re feeling better too despite the Dr being unhelpful the other day. Here’s to a restful and healing night for us both.
I hope you feel better soon.
Give yourself a gentle shoulder shrug or three and see if you can feel any points of tension.
Pop some nurofen or panadol if you have any with your meal and that might make you feel better.
Thanks. Had some Nurofen earlier which did nothing. I am gonna have some again, plus extra water as I think I’m dehydrated. I suspect it’ll be better once I wake up. Feels like it was a reaction to something. So tired! I’m going to take it easy when I get back tomorrow.
The pollen today is super fun. I think my face is actually exploding.
I think I lucked out either environmentally or genetically. I always feel so awkward when allergies pop up in convos.
The old man (who’s a sub specialist doc) says “that’s because i didn’t care when you were crawling through the garden or dog shit as a kid”. I mean thanks but maybe it worked.
I know how you feel. I’m also moderately immune to food poisoning. Long story.
Me too. I don’t fully understand the grief people go through over allergies, as I don’t have any myself. I too credit my lax (by current standards) parents who turned us kids out of doors a lot so long as we stayed in a pack. Also many childhood pets, cleaning with soap and water only (no anti-bacterial shit). And home cooking by Mum, a survivor of the Great Depression and rabidly anti-waste of good food. Tea yes, but no coffee or lolly water for us kids either.
Yep, partner and I went across the city and sneezed so so much! I should download that pollen app again…
Onions and mushrooms cut and fried. Massive bowl of it that should last a good few days.
Air frying chicken tenders to be all assembled with Turkish bread and some sauce.
Bon appetite!
Yumm.
I think that looks bloody good!
Late night brigade.
Salute! 🫡

Sir 🫡
Second batch of soap (the one I messed up and had to re-cook) is now out of the moulds and looking good. Now I just have to wait a couple of months for drying.
No shortbread this time, just fake brownies. Lies!
I would definitely accidentally eat one of those.
My brother totally did that with a Santa head shaped soap. No, not white choc. 🫧
You should notice they don’t smell right before you get to the point of taking a bite
Pausing for a snack break from painting, saw those and thought yum
I thought they were brownies 😦
That looks so much like fudge…
Super warm tonight folks.
Adjust it have your air cons for best sleep.
Temperature tonight.
hot like a sunrise
Back in one piece and now the process of operation de-bug guts begin…
They just love going kamikaze on me. Just me. ‘Cause I fully look like I love massive amounts of bug guts smeared across my line of sight.
What’s the plan to get rid of them?
Oh, it’s just cleaning my gear. Little bit of soapy water and elbow grease is usually sufficient for my gear. Bit gentler for my visor.
Still have to wash my bike at some point, so there’s that.
Went to a barbie tonight. Had a few drinks. Cleaning Sunday maybe compromised.
This brings me joy.
4 day weekend, you’ve got time baby.
We cleaned today in anticipation.
True.
I do not lie Habibi
Fridays are for cleaning, then you have weekend feee
