Quickly looking it up.
Of course!

Petrichor is the name for that fresh rain smell. The inspiration for a lot of poetry too.

Start putting the dishes away, with a sincere enquiry about whether it is OK for you to be putting other peoples dishes away. Two birds with one stone.

@Deceptichum and @dumblederp
exchanged sporting riposte. It was so polite. Not like wikiedia editors who are reactionary libtards dressed as ‘neutral’ cyclopaedic lambs. Freedom of assembly being an Australian value I hold dear.

I am a newbie to the fediverse and a mastodon user, so I can’t see the original lemmy topic. just chiming in to say I am fascinated by the restraint of the combatants over legitimacy on the turf. I am not quite sure how one participates in the fediverse without comments. I can see how this would be considered interjections by some, not always welcome.

@Baku
on mastodon, it’s an emoji of a shark

That would allow James Bond type espionage at the poker table. No Martini :BlobHajMlem: will blow your cover.

Tabs are great to learn finger picking.
Not all arrangements great.
Solo Ukulele für Einsteiger by Winifred Von Welti free ebook is good and all on YouTube, if you like classics.

Apparently the revolutionary French visited Australia and declared Australia practised “Socialism without doctrine”. That was long ago and trades hall today is a museum of collapsed trade unions. Both left and right totalitarian systems are currently regarded as frightfully modern era and intemperate. I can’t wait to see what comes after post-modernism.

Municipal councils in Broome, Karratha, Geraldton and Carnarvon held closed meetings to promise various amounts in millions of dollars toward continued Qantas services during lockdown. In Geraldton, the amount was three hundred dollars for every member of the population, even though only about ten percent are ever likely to use it. No consultation. Appalling plutocratic governance. Thank goodness for road coaches.

I miss the old HECLA jug.

perhaps your bed is kryptonite.
Your self talk sounds like a super hero thought bubble.

I started out with dokuwiki but it unexpectedly stopped working. I caved and used the default wordpress. Wordpress isn’t actually popular, it’s just the default provided by most ISP.

One day, he may type something in the search bar and miss you. No guarantees, though. Solo time gives space to work out what makes you happy. 🤔 new hobby. New friends. New interest. Self care. Counselling. Metamorphosis. New butterfly 🦋 ✨️

@Zagorath @unionagainstdhmo
Allow me to focus on the anti-protest law.
How did that arise from the workers?
Isn’t industrial action a fotrm of protest?

@unionagainstdhmo
I was being sarcastic. I meant republican in the American sense of being reactionary. The Labor party seems compromised by the mining lobby.

@unionagainstdhmo
I’m not about to vote liberal, but feel disappointed by some Labor decisions. The anti-protest law in particular seem to have bipartisan support despite democratic resistance. Protests over freedom of association were once the backbone of union membership and strength.

@unionagainstdhmo
I’m not accusing the Labor party of popular sovereignty.

@Duenan @MeanElevator
I am grateful I can practise heartfulness.
It’s really important for me to engage with others at an emotional level. Too much mind interferes with the flow of feelings, so I try not to think while I’m at work.
