Student Amenities paid for, tuition on a payment plan. Totally fully enrolled! Holy shit!
That is so awesome. 😀🎆🎇🎉
Feeling better about it now?
Yeah I am, this is the right thing to do. 💜
That’s great to hear :)
Yay!
potatoes and fish in oven, fresh vegies on stove to steam , dinner in 10. I always cook an extra piece of fish for the cats to share. 🐟🐈⬛🐈⬛
How uncanny im having the same thing, except I’m also roasting pumpkin.
easiest dinner and still healthy 👍
I had another good idea. The infection my cat has is from bad gut bacteria and apparently weak to a good bacteria called Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, so I walked to go get her some plain yogurt specifically containing that. My knees are screaming and I couldn’t find a small tub, only a big expensive one, but got hold of a lactose free kind and she’s just eaten a spoonful. I might give her a little each day of her antibiotics and then hit things with the bought probiotics when she finishes.
Melbcat likes it a lot so if her stomach handles it she might have a snack of yogurt each day or a dollop with each meal for the long term. It costs and I don’t know if I’ll be able to eat it as well, but I could freeze it in cubes (if the bacteria will survive well) and it will be cheaper than spending hundreds every time she gets sick. Fingers crossed it helps. I’m really trying to avoid further antibiotic resistance 😬
this is a terrific idea, I hope it works 🤞🐈
I really hope it does. I’m not sure if there’d be enough of the good bacteria in there to have much of an effect, but perhaps I can find some affordable probiotic capsules.
Shit. Volunteered at a thing. Now I need to show up. And not be shit.
Shit.
Running in circles and screaming may be appropriate
I’ve never shit like that before, but to each their own I guess
Most people aren’t that scared about replacing a zipper, but you’ve added a new dimension to sewing repair club .
I hate zippers. I still take them to my Mum.
zippers are the worst…lol
I think I have covid - one of my coworkers came in with it, tested positive that evening, and now I’m fluey.
My partner is casual.
What the fuck do we do here? Are we just expected to take the financial hit in a COL crisis?
At my work we get an automatic 5 days off coming out of sick leave upon testing positive. Anything over that needs a doctor’s certificate.
You might be covered by something similar, not sure about your partner though.
Indeed - I’m fine in that regard for that reason. My partner on the other hand…alas, I’m not earning enough to cover us both to the extent I may have to
I think your partner might be able to get the sick pay? Not sure about that. Otherwise, check out Ask Izzy and/or Centrelink for anything that might help you if they cannot work. There are charities that can help with food and bills and whatnot
Thanks mate - looks like sick pay guarantee stopped being available as of 31 May. Centrelink doesn’t offer anything, will check out Ask Izzy though
Wow. It seems all the other social sites are in a competition for who can become the worst the fastest. Reddit has jumped on the selling data to AI bandwagon, as has Facebook and Instagram. Tumblr is still banning trans women while leaving up nonconsensual deepfake nudes and is also now crawling with minors. Twitter is uh… Twitter. Sorry, X.
Cursing my shitty body and dodgy area. Never have I wished to touch grass more.
That’s why I’m so grateful for this place. It’s like an oasis.
We got a royal welcoming committee in Donald. I think the entire town was here to greet us! All the school kids were lined up waving to us, all the industrial business we passed had nobody working - everybody was at the fence waving to us. Every level crossing there were 5-10 people waving
I’ve been on many heritage trains, but I’ve never had a reception quite like that
I’m not sure anyone told them we were running 50 minutes late and our 30-40 min stop was going to turn into a 10 min one though, so I think we disappointed them a little :(
They all lined up to wave is goodbye 🥺
I hit my head on a low hanging Donald town sign when I was there. So if you see the sign for Donald, duck.
Hah, that’s a good one!
Oh my gosh that’s so adorable. Donald has a special place in my heart, I love that everyone was excited for this!
I’ve stopped off in Donald a bunch of times coming back from bush doofs. It’s a nice town.
I was offered the role. Then I asked if my expected pay had been considered, that it was more than my current pay. I was told it hadn’t been, but that they’d get back to me shortly. Got back to me: "look I spoke to the big boss, and he says now your current role and the one Ur going for are considered equal (my current role used be considered lesser), your pay is appropriate and would remain the same. I told them I would consider that over the long weekend.
Also just learned that ANOTHER person quit in the role I’m going for, bringing the total to four open positions, and as far as I know, I’m the only internal applicant. The fuckers have the gall to not offer me anything.
Unless you want the challenge or you’re going to come out of it with some sort of advantage I don’t see why you would take on a role with more or greater responsibility and challenges with no change in pay.
Don’t take it. Make the fuckers work for an external.
So the new tip is to put the new job on your resume and start applying for similar roles with better pay.
Sounds like you have a bit of leverage there but also seems a bit worrying that people keep quitting…
I am in so many photos and videos now. So many! I need to start demanding royalties for the 3 whole pixels I take up in most of them
I just want to say how amazing this community is. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone for their support during this difficult time ❤️
Also cat:
I see your cat in bag and offer you cat in pot. And we’ve got a good bunch here.
Did you interrupt your cat having a shit?
In the biz we call it perching. Proabaly taking a dump but with more tact.
What ever you call it, that’s one sprung cat.
No poo. Just a happy cat 😺.
That tail is so goddamn floofy it’s ridiculous lol
Honestly the woolies bag is the most underrated cat toy on the planet.
Ah Gibson, you grace us with your presence, dignified as ever.
You got this bro, you are awesome! You are doing great! 💜
Ah we are just here for fluffybutt 😛
(No wukkers)
Lungs being fucky and my inhaler is empty. Need to go get a new one but the weather will make my lungs even fuckier on the walk there.
Bah.
I hate how it gets dark so early in winter. Only 13 days until the shortest day of the year I guess.
Or on the optimist side of things: only 14 days until days start getting longer
I moved around a lot growing up, and had some formative years in the UK. I love the winter, I love the cold, I love the early dark - as it reminds me of that time. Having said that, I also love daylight saving…ha
We are very different people lol I hate the dark. And the cold is manageable…if it’s sunny.
Movie Review. Bad Education. Just a normal well made movie. 2.5 hobbits
A bunch of high school students on the school newspaper investigate their school, exposing the biggest school fraud case in history.
The kids did nothing special, they just checked facts.
But doing things the right way seems to be too difficult for most or they are just too uninterested or lazy so maybe they are special. I have found this true in all aspects of life.
The kids should have gotten a Pulitzer.
Wolves of War. If I was a film student making a first real movie I would be very proud of this movie. It’s competent . 1.5 hobbits
Rewatching movies. The Razor’s Edge, 1946. I loved this movie and the book. Such grand sweeping ideas, relatable characters, of course I wanted to be larry.
It’s been at least 10 years since I’ve seen it last and I see new things. Mainly the pervasive undercurrent of politics, the upcoming class war, the fascism, antisemitism and decadence of 1920’s Europe and the complicity of religion. It’s a ticking time bomb.
But what I mainly like now is how human it is. No one seems to do much thinking about life and society, they just accept and drift. All the characters have deep flaws and nearly everyone is so forgiving. Maybe they shouldn’t have been so forgiving of the fascism, eh.

Banked RDO equals loooong weekend.
Happy long weekend calhound. 🍗
Calhound… How have I never thought of that…? haha
