When this under 16 ban comes in I’m going to lose all the collected art resources I carefully organised and all my YouTube playlists…
VPNs get you banned or shadowbanned but kids under 16 won’t care. They could just keep churning through a bunch of new accounts, the disposability encouraging them to do whatever they want.
But for me when I’m unwell and can’t do much else I spend a lot of time collecting and organising reference photos, art tutorials, and posts with links to free art books. There’s a few years worth that will be near impossible to back up.
And I don’t know what sites will be affected which makes it hard to even try to start migrating.
spoiler
(‘Download account’ options never seem to work - I always end up having to go back and do it manually.)
Even if I buy a dedicated external drive then screenshot and paste links it will be hard to preserve sources or keep images and related information together. It’s a mammoth task to do manually and the old fashioned way. Archiving is literally a job. And you can’t go back to look at them without a login.
For the YouTube playlists maybe I can screenshot to be able to find some difficult to search stuff later, or paste the titles into a mega document, but oh man. Not a good solution.
It will also cut me off from a lot of other artists.
This crap isn’t going to do anything but punish disabled people who spend a lot of time online and people who care about privacy.
But that’s the Australian government’s way. Make grand promises (usually involving “protecting the children”) and then do something that doesn’t work - and has unintended consequences.
I have much more to say about that but I’m tired -_-
have you tried proton or Tor? They give privacy.
I could but at the moment it might be a bit of a steep learning curve for me. And if it gets picked up as changing where my traffic comes from I’ll probably be banned (so instead of inaccessible everything would just be gone)
Went to the gym at lunchtime today. It’s 2 doors down, then got some sushi as a treat.
I usually just wander around aimlessly on lunch breaks so I’m glad I’m getting my workout without having to wake up at 5am or get home late.
Partner officially diagnosed with ADHD, and a treatment plan now in place. I’m so proud of him!
We got back to Brunswick, had a couple of Doppel Ename from Mokum, and then got some beer from Blackhearts and Sparrows. It’s been a lovely birthday.
Thank you all so much for your birthday wishes and good vibes!! I don’t know where I would be without you all! 💜💜💜
Aweeesooomee.
From a spousal perspective: you know how sometimes you feel like you’re dealing with a toddler and want to stuff them in the toilet? Meds will help drop that shit riiiight down
I feel it in my bones lol 😂
Is it wrong to call out for some spare dexies? Asking for a friend.
You ask a cancer patient for some spare fentanyl? Don’t dude that dude, c’mon.
Relax hun, it was a joke yeah. Relax.
“hook us up bruh, I have an exam tomorrow!”
I can’t spare a square.
I found a bag of meth I’m not planning on taking.
I don’t need meth. I’ve seen what that does. No thank you.
Homeopathic that shit, put it in a litre of water, then put 10ml into another litre of water then take a few drops on sugar pills. Back yard dexies here ya go.
Ooh belated happy birthday and congrats on the diagnosis for the spud adjacent human.
Just saw first comedy show if the season. So so good. Saw: He Huang (absolute best of the night), Nazeem Hussein, Dave Hughes, and an Australian/African girl who’s name I sadly forgot who was second best for me - has her own show and is going to be on taskmaster this season. It was a work social club thing and I almost bailed but I’m so glad it didn’t. Buzzing 😊
I’m watching the festival supershow on telly atm - so many great performances
Got a new phone and now I’ve been locked out of my banking app in trying to set it up 🤦🏼♀️ Will have to sort it out tomorrow. I’m kind of annoyed.
Thank heavens for portable power packs.
Getting through the day with them.
It’s still not back on? What’s going on there?
Line maintenance apparently.
Been off since about 8:30am.
Loaded some movies on an iPad and have podcasts downloaded on my phone for some background noise.
Just about to go play on my Switch to pass the time.
Thinking. :(
There are so many people I have a lot in common with and could get along with really well - if they would treat me with respect.
They’re always so shocked and angry when you set a boundary or leave, too.
Why can't we buy this style of non-permanent pet door in Australia?
Akshully, Bunnings has inserts with dog doors that can be put in floor to ceiling glass doors. Basically a long thin strip with a dog door at the bottom. The one in the picture looks pretty amazing though.
They do, I have one I use at my parent’s place. But if you don’t have a sliding door they are not much use.
I’ve been falling asleep to hour+ long videos on space, by Astrum Extra, so I don’t know why I had a nightmare about
tw blood
Living alone and finding blood everywhere in my house, running to the neighbours for help, then waking up to find blood everywhere in my house, running to the neighbours for help, then waking up to find blood everywhere in my house, then running to the neighbours for help… And so on. It was a good 15-20 loops before I woke up at 3am.
The cat came and cuddled me so I fell back asleep and was fine. I’m not upset, just tripped out lol.
Second ADHD assessment appointment for my partner today, so another trip across the city. Gonna treat myself with a cafe coffee, because it’s my birthday 😂
My beautiful friend came over yesterday, and made a delicious soup, healing for the mind, body, and soul. I feel so happy to have spent the day with them. They got to meet Mickey, we took a walk, it was great! They gave me their guitar, so I’ve been practicing last night - gonna practice more this afternoon when I return. I do wish I had slightly longer, thinner fingers so I stop flattening the other strings when practicing chords, but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it with practice.
Happy Birthday Spud! 🎂 have an amazing day!
Happy birthday 🎂

Sitting in the sun on my lunch break is good for my soul
Only
23 wake ups so far. Not bad.That reminds me. There’s several Simon’s at work. I’m very unaccustomed to having the same name as other people.
Ive only ever met 1 other person with my real name.
Feels odd to call someone else by my name.
I know some arabs that named their twin boys Jesus and Moses (in arabic) and then there’s little brother Adam.
Next one would be Eve?
The first three people I met with name, we’re all in my grade 8 class. Thankfully our surnames had different initials.
There have always been a bunch of Thomas’s around for me. There’s one guy at work also called thomas with the same initials as me, so that could get very confusing in the project management software
3 wakes, 3 recovering from migraine wakes because i have to pee
name, i don’t meet many people with my first name and have met none with my last
I dropped my weird religious name and am left with a John Smith grade common white guy name.
Oh I bet I had a more generic white guy name. I think my name was the most common boys name the year I was born. Couple that with one of the top 5 English surnames and every ID check I ever did failed cause it had to go through an extensive review cause no one believed that was my real name.
Got a better last name now I’m married though.
Almost sounds blissful. I’m the only person in Australia with my first name + last name combo. If you meet another person in Australia with my last name, I am 100% related to them 😂
I have my husband’s surname. If I met someone else with that surname, we are related.
same
both a blessing and a curse
Ezekiel?
Jebediah
That’s a cruel name
Could also be Job or Onan
They’re all pretty normal names as far as names go. Wrong religion too.
Ooh okay. I always thought that biblical names we’re especially weird.
Not familiar with names from other religions that much.
Wayan Darren Jones?
It took me nearly a month after getting my psych to fill out uni support forms (which she did within 24 hours of asking) to actually submit them to the uni out of paralysis/shame/anxiety/whatever - I did it this morning and then got a response from the subject coordinator eerily quickly… was out doing fieldwork and told myself I wouldn’t read it till I got home because I was fully expecting a “no”.
Turns out I got 10 days extension no questions asked. Fucking A. Sat with so much anxiety and avoidance for nothing.
Gonna celebrate by treating myself to an afternoon and evening of yet more PHM. Good good good. Thank!
Fuck yeah!
