Mum got the Liberal Party’s postal vote application form in the mail.
“You can apply for a postal vote with this form,”
Goddamit
I got labour’s today.
All in the rubbish.
Can’t wait for the rest of them through the month.
For the snails.
😡
spose i betta change my postal address
Done!
My vote counts.
I got the labour one today too. Straight inna bin.
I worked such long days this week that I didn’t even need to take any leave last week despite not working 2 out of 3 days 🙃 that’s good though, gotta bank up that leave for upcoming uni stressout sessions.
More Project Hail Mary tonight. Only about 15% of the way in but this is a v entertaining read!
you are an inspiration 😊
Oooh you’re on the Project hail Mary hype train! Audiobook or book?
ebook, I’m hopeless with audiobooks but I could totally see this one being a cracking good one
Aw ok, yes the audiobook performances are so good 😊
Project Hail Mary
Yes Yes Yes!
Holiday time 😺 Have acquired paint sample pot. Have also been told I look like Madam Mim. Some may be offended at being called a fat, purple, witch. Not me.
Or me. I might object to the purple bit though - more of a scarlet girl here.
Well yes, my actual colour is more Beetroot pink. But such off track compliments are still nice 😺
I fully agree!
I think the interview went well! It was my first ever “dual” interview, so there was another applicant there. But it was a very casual interview with the owner of the cattery. Her dog was also there and just was all over me wanting pats 😂
I should know by tomorrow!
I ended up walking and chatting with the other applicant, and she was so freaking cool! She’s doing a PhD in archaeology, which I asked lots of questions about haha, and she was so down to earth - I walked her to her bus stop because she doesn’t know the area well, and we added each other on insta 😂😂😂
A dual interview sounds so weird. A group interview makes sense, but when it’s you and one other person it feels like you’re meant to compete with each other directly.
That’s what I was worried about tbh, but it ended up being quite nice! It was more conversational and relaxed than I expected.
I imagine it’s because we had the interview with the owner, who throws herself into her work and just wanted to make it a bit easier for herself - but yeah it was chiller than I expected.
Plus I made a new friend so nothing lost haha
Maybe planning on hiring both of you …
The other applicant and I joked about that when we were walking together, about how it would be awesome if we both got it!
I hope I get it but I’m trying not to get my hopes too high haha
yay , 🤞🤞🤞
Dark so early, the eternal nights approach. I will miss you daylight saving.
The poms go on and on about Jammie Dodgers like some Aussies do about Tim Tam’s so the kid and I decided to give em a burl. Well, they are the most boring tasteless biscuit ever. The jam definitely saved the biscuit. A just passable 3/5 yum yums.
Morning! Does the new bot pick the emoji in any meaningful way?
Broinglorid made it, probably so their lemmy feed wasn’t filled with constant notifications of
“Right sock, left sock, left shoe, right shoe.”
Which is the highfalutin content we’re here for.
Finally made it down the coast. Bus replacement from wyndham vale to geelong made it a lengthy trip. Bit chaotic, no one seemed to know which bus was going where (including the drivers lol).
But it’s always interesting taking that bus through those newish estates out west to see how they’re going. People have planted things, but not things that provide any shade. The amount of synthetic lawn is pretty crazy. Just a massive heatsink. Also the walking tracks are always empty which is a shame as they look quite nice.
Before leaving decided to borrow both Situationcake’s and Dumblederps ideas. Hoping the steel wool works, but if it gets through…
Behold, the ROTATING BOTTLE ON A STICK OVER A BUCKET 2000™ (that is pb not poo).
Let’s see how we go.
That is ACME fantastic! We had a rattus suicide itself by leaving the lid of the big green bin open.
Did you oil the insides of the bucket?
Shit… didn’t think of doing that.
😂
You may come home to peanut butter smeared on the floor and the bucket tipped over because it body slammed itself up against the side.
No water in bucket ?
Yea about 7cm high. Feel bad about that part if it works.
Don’t worry rats can swim.
getting all the adult stuff done 🙂
TW medical
I had my first iron infusion today. -_- Really hoping it helps. I’m so tired of struggling to get up or move. At least it was delivered in a bonus bag of saline so I didn’t have to get iv fluids from the hospital. (Been dodging the er no matter how dehydrated I get because reasons.)
Complaining about money
Trying to buy some basics for the community pantry because I haven’t been able to get there in a while and I’m appalled at the Colesworth costs.
$10 for a bag of powdered milk, get fucked ya greedy cunts. $8 for a bag of oranges. Generic milk bricks don’t cost much less than brand. I’m hitting up the cheap basics that stretch far like pasta and sauces, rice, noodles, oats, tinned soup spaghetti and baked beans, milk bricks, sugar, tea (also bar soap, toothpaste and menstrual products) but there’s not anything fresh.
I regret being so low income myself.
And my tiny garden isn’t stepping up hard enough. It’s probably costing more than the produce would in the shop.
Unfortunately I’m not able to shop in person and Aldi isn’t always cheaper on everything… but maybe when I’m less slammed with tests and appointments I can ask to go there and suss out what the best value items are. I really wish they had kept the old ‘shopping list’ feature so you could compare prices on items before going.
I feel frustrated and angry that all the focus on profiteering, price hikes, cost of living increases and thee relevant inquires and reports seem to have achieved bugger all.
Yeah. Maybe the inquiry fixed things for the farmers which is good but nothing has been done for people buying the food.
Same goes for everything else
Good morning!
Good morning :)
beach
BEEEEAAACH
Ooh, this one feels especially prehistoric!
it’s beach worn basalt 🙂
Why is Australia so fucked for poor people :(
because that’s what people vote for
Low key hate Australia sometimes
same
People only think about themselves and their taxes and it absolutely shits me
If there’s no poor people, then how will the shareholders and billionaires keep holding necessities over our heads? Won’t somebody think of the billionaires!?
/s just on case 😂
The Dutch used to have a very good solution for this
So did the French

Poor Gibson has spent so much time alone this week.
This weekend it’s just her and I hanging out.
Goodnight all ❤️
Goodnight. Sleep well.
Wow okay, so I’ve been watching yt (just trash stuff), and the political campaign ads for the election have started cropping up.
There’s one that I always skip, that feels like utter fear mongering - it seems to just focus on how awful the greens are, talking about inheritance tax and migration and alleged sexual abuse survivors talking about their time in the greens party (alleged of course, because I haven’t seen much news about sex abuse in the greens party, just the liberal party lol). But because I always skipped it, I didn’t know who was sponsoring it… It’s Advance Australia party 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Of course they don’t talk about their OWN policies, of course it’s all about how “terrible” and “scary” the greens are 🙄🙄
I rolled my eyes so hard I’ve sent them into orbit. At least the ads for the greens and for labor talk about THEIR OWN policies. Of course a racist bullshit party can only drag other parties through the mud and never have the courage to lay out their own agendas.
Fuck I hate the right.
