Now is the time to narrow my view, focus in on my own world, school, partner, Mickey, coffee, chocolate, beer. I don’t want to know about the world anymore, not for a while. I can’t let this drag my mood down. I have good things in my life idc about anything else lol
I reckon it could be a good time to read more books and avoid the internet.
I’m going to try to do the same as well.
Work, coffee, podcasts, bit of shopping, streaming shows and movies and video games.
Yes. Keep making choices that make your life and the lives of your loved ones and those around you stronger and better.
US election comments
I’m very dismayed by the US election result. I wouldn’t have been shocked at a trump win, I thought it would be close so was a possibility. But was not mentally prepared for a such a large margin. So many Americans want this? I would like to think they didn’t understand what they were really voting for. I have a sinking feeling thinking about what the next four years might have ahead both for Americans, and globally for places like Ukraine and the Middle East.
It’s apparently going to weaken the Australian economy too? Which is fun.
I want to rage and call Americans stupid, and to be fair a lot of them did buy in to the hate and spin.
But I think there was also a lot of gerrymandering and ratfuckery at play. And apparently voting in America works differently to Australia. Can’t imagine being a minority in America right now.
I really hope this doesn’t hasten the Americanisation of Australia or import more crazy bullshit
I don’t think so. The working class here are more compliant and don’t think in terms of rights like Americans do. Thus Australians have fewer resentments and less anger than Americans. They don’t need to bring in full strength fascism here to crush the working class and labour movement.
It will be more like English class oppression.
they have 3 months to set up systems to protect national security systems
it all depends on the defence forces and intelligence , they have to be protected from corruption
pull out the spies or hide the files real well because once he gets his hands on them they’re all gonna get sold out
Putin is writing his shopping list as we speak
World news aside, I’ve finished my first day at the new job. I think I need to get past induction and do some actual work, and start working from home, before I can decide if this was the right choice.
I think it will be. I need to remember how shit my old work was, even before things for really bad. Once I get started I won’t wish I got things right in the old role, because even when things were working, they were just barely, and things were still shit
I don’t like this reality can we reset the simulation pls.
Jesus christ.
the parallels with Weimar are chilling
Oh he ain’t saving them at this point!
If there is a God, where is he now, hmm? Riddle me that, batman
I’m now afraid for reproductive rights in Australia.
Nah. It’ll be alright. We don’t generally go backwards. We go at a snails pace forward unless it’s a pay rise for pollies then it’s all speed ahead.
We don’t generally go backwards.
This is generally true. Except for the destruction of medicare, loss of local manufacturing industry, no taxation on our mineral resources, expensive and half useless universities and no consequences for government corruption
I wish I could know it would be ok. We have our own fundies here so things could get dicey
Was pretty fucked up how close the votes were on this matter in South Australia recently - I mean what the fuck, surely that isn’t representative of how Australians really view the matter, but I realise more and more how out of touch I am
I really ought to look into a hysterectomy. I don’t want kids anyway, but this is certainly an incentive to advocate better for myself lol
My old family dog I used to look after.
So adorable 💖
“Why yes, I do apologise to my cat when she meows at me for not brushing her exactly the way she likes. Don’t you?”
I get a bite and a hiss . Tomorrow Ted will be held down by the vet while I brush out his knots. I have kevlar gloves.
Calling me ouuuut lol
Look at her sweet face 😍 I love her
So I put in a request to cancel my group fitness membership after the next billing. Will check out the local council gym and also another one to try and get my mum to come along.
to help with the mood, here is my son being adorable
This is the only good social media, right here. Thanks
Anytime! My camera roll is just pictures of Mickey and screenshots of ptv timetables 😅
oh my god I would die for those crossed paws. And that “heheh” look with the slanted eyes and uplifted mouth
He just sleeps like that when it gets a bit warm, he always does a little “rah rah” to say hello when we walk past, and will roll over he gets his belly kisses. So spoiled… I brush him and fur just keeps coming and coming. I wonder if he is a medium haired cat, rather than a short haired one 😂
I want a Mickey in my life ;_; What a sweet and beautiful creature. Maybe he is a medium haired cat! Sox was the same with the fur (and she was obviously medium haired from her tail - but the rest of her could’ve looked like Mickey)
He looks like he’s giggling
He certainly was having a great time munching my knees today, when I was wearing just my boxers 😭 he’s very pleased with himself I think
Oh my God!
Oh my goodness, look at those paws!
sky pretty
I wish I had a view of the sky lol
The joys of apartment living
ah feck
Ugh, that smug dipshit Elon Putzk will be positively gloating… ugh, the thought is personally repulsive. How could they not love Tim Walz? Did they really want to not vote for a coloured woman so hard that they voted for a racist rapist delusional carny sheisty pathological liar instead‽ Jesus Christmas cookie Christ.
Real talk, they didn’t vote for Trump because Harris is a POC woman, the reasoning seems to be much simpler, and dumber
- The economy isn’t great
- It was better under Trump (any thoughts revolving around why it was better cough covid price gouging and shit trump repealed don’t exist)
- Vote trump

I did see what you posted, just chiming in to say this is really putting a pin in my plans to visit my brother in the US next year after I finish uni :/
otoh he probably needs some cheering up…
You could always meet somewhere else that’s a flight for you both? That way you’d both get a holiday and something exciting to look forward to :)
If you haven’t done it, the climb up to Machu Picchu is beyond words level of beautiful, breathtaking and pure awe. It’s relatively cheap too.
I am partially doxxing myself with some of this so this is another message that will self destruct… Even though I know this platform is only a soft delete, but I could choose to change that if I chose to.
Good luck with Uni!
My words were a little more x rated but yeah.
Indeed
☹️
Round the twist again
Please no.
top comment on The Daily Show summary video is “I Prey for Ukraine”. No words for the feeling of when that registers in your mind. I hadnt even consdidered… Will the EU step up? God. I just… those poor people.
The EU stepped up a lot during the other bad trump years
My partner just said it would be darkly humourous if America delays entering another world war… Again lol.
I wanna see the other timeline ffs
I want to buy more seeds and garden stuff but the money… the limited number of pots and the invasive grass… the fact that it might get stolen or the garden destroyed/raided…
:(
have an indoor garden on shelves/rack in front of a window
and I really admire your ability to grow from seed, that takes real skill 🌞
I’m not really able to do that without exacerbating mould issues or taking up room I can’t afford, but maybe I can work something out.
Thanks. I’m not actually very skilled, the plants are just motivated to live and I give them what help I can
My cat’s heart isn’t working well and he doesn’t have a great prognosis, but he’s well and happy in himself and I’m focusing on that. We’ll be ok.
I’ve just ordered takeaway for the first time in yonks. Fried goodness is now on the way to me and in the meantime I’ve poured a glass of wine. I will enjoy it and not wallow.
And I’m putting my fingers in my ears and ignoring the news out of the US.
I’m sorry. I’m hoping he has some more good days and can soak up the love for as long as possible
Many hugs to you and puss. ❤️
