Ha! I love this! Enhanced pattern recognition for the win! lol 💜

The picture shows a moving box besides a green plush triceratops stool topped with a metal sign that was released to promote the 1994 version of “The Crow”. These sit on a field of hideous mission brown carpet.

I just feel like my current aesthetic lacks a cohesive narrative, ya know?!

Oh America, I’m just so bloody sad for you right now. 😔

Weird flex, but okay…

Well this is an unexpected plot twist. 🤔 This one scored a 9.2 on the cognitive dissonance meter.

😆😅😆

Two 1 litre UHT cartons stand side by side. They are the same shape and size, featuring yellow with only slightly different shades of brown to immediately differentiate them. One is labelled “Barista Almond Milk”. The other is “Chicken (Style) Stock”.

Well this will end badly… 🤨😅

Naomie Jean-Pierre (@saidharriet) on Threads This is actually so sad. This is how some men are out here operating. All the weight on the woman. They just one of the kids.

The process of (some) men handing over the weight of the world to women can be so gradual, we barely notice.

I remember waddling into hospital in labor with a bulky backpack, as my partner marched off ahead, scowling.

A nurse stopped me and called him back to take the pack. Allies matter.

They start right after they finish drawing up the plans for the new ground control building…

NASA recruiter: while we do appreciate your Masters degree in astrophysics, your impressive career as a champion triathlete and your tireless charity work, unfortunately we had to give the job to a better qualified applicant who had an online chainsaw certification. Sorry… 🤷🏼‍♀️😁

This is a screenshot of a page headed, “Chainsaw Safety and Maintenance”. Underneath, a box headed, “Discover Careers Related to This Course” features pictures of an architect and an astronaut with typical salary info so that certified chainsaw operators can realistically consider their future career options.

This chainsaw safety and maintenance course I’m doing really encourages students to shoot for the stars! ✨

Sometimes I whisper words of encouragement to the stuffed animals waiting at the op shop to be adopted.

Brown, multi-textured food punctuated with visible grains of rice, mushrooms, bacon and bright green, wilted rocket. It’s served in a bowl with an indigo glaze and part of a fork protruding from under the risotto. It looks VERY grown up.

Operation Eat Like a Grown Up: This mushroom and rocket risotto is so grown up it has a living will and just cleaned out the gutters.

The photo shows a close-up of a creamy dip served in a small white bowl, garnished with chopped fresh herbs (parsley). Next to the bowl are pieces of warm, soft (gluten free) flatbread—one piece torn to reveal its fluffy interior. The food is set against a blue-toned ceramic plate. The dip appears smooth and rich. (ChatGPT assisted description.)

I made baba ganoush with my veggie box eggplants. It’s a marked departure from what I normally do with eggplants (ie. leave them in the fridge until they liquify and then toss them in the compost).

Feedback so far includes, “It made me feel sick, because of the taste.” Trying new things is fun! 😁

A screenshot of a social media post by guidancerune that reads: “imagine you're frolicking in a field, prancing through long grass, singing "falalalala*", occasionally picking a flower. etc, etc. but a guy in the same field is watching you, about 20 paces away. he lowers his opera glasses (which he was using to watch you) and starts clutching his head and screaming with blind rage because of how much you're pissing him off. that's what it's like to be on the internet.”

This is how I feel just existing in 2025. And given the deeply troubled relationship I’ve had with existing over the years, that’s pretty sucky.

Text convo between me and my kiddo: Me - Noodles? Them - okay ig Me - What is ig? Them - like what it stands for? Me - I guess? Them - yeah Me… Oh, lol. I was just answering your question (laugh emojis x 3)

Messaging my ten year old. Never felt more like a mildly confused boomer. 😆

A still of Ralph Wiggum from the Simpsons sitting at a school dress in classic, double side bun cosplay of Princess Leia from Star Wars. The pic is captioned, “Everyone on the Internet today,” and shows Ralph/Leia saying, “I’m a Star Wars”.

…Also an accurate depiction of me at my May 4th, Star Wars themed wedding. Happy 10th anniversary to my ex-husband. They said we’d never last…and they were 100% right. (We really should have listened to them. They’re waaaaaaay smarter than us.) 🥂

My ex-husband and I had a May 4th, themed wedding 🙄, so this day is still close to my heart. I might just send this to him for old times’ sake.

May Babylon 5 be with you or whatever, babe. No hard feelings… 😘😬😆

I don’t think I’ve ever been so relieved by an election result before. 😅 #Auspol

I think this is the backlash against that small progression. 😔

But why is this the best explanation of preferential voting I’ve ever seen?! 😅

Feeling super proud at Tyrepower. I remembered to turn Bluetooth off so my graphic crime podcast won’t automatically connect and start playing from my phone when the tyre guy moves my car. #WinningAtLife

This is a screenshot from an ABC news article. The text reads: “On KIIS FM, three dogs were presented with treats on a Labor red or Liberal blue plate. One after one, they all picked the red one.” Under this is a photo of a buff colored, short-haired good boy or girl enthusiastically devouring food from a red plate. The plate is labeled, “Labor”. Beside it is a forlorn and ignored blue plate with some unidentified food on it, labeled “Liberal” The caption under the photo reads: “Anthony Albanese was chosen to win the election by three dogs on commercial radio this morning. (AAP: Jason Edwards)”

Another screenshot from the same ABC news article. It is a single sentence that reads: ‘By contrast, former prime minister Tony Abbott heaped praise on Dutton's stance, saying the ceremonies were "grating" and a form of "virtue signalling".’

I don’t want to accuse the ABC of bias and Lord knows, I wish Dutton would crawl back into the primordial swamp he emerged from, but multiple paragraphs (& pic) on 3 random dogs supporting Albo vs. a single sentence on a former PM’s support of Dutton was an interesting journalistic choice. 😆 #Auspol

Agreed! It’s repulsive behaviour.

This is a screenshot showing contact details for some wanker. It features a photo of a middle aged man with grey hair in front of some serious looking books on a bookshelf. He’s wearing a snazzy navy pin striped suit, a white shirt and a deep red tie. His mobile number is highlighted in yellow. The text reads: Mr Harry Fong Chambers Level 7 420 George Street Brisbane Qld 4000 E hfong@qldbar.asn.au T (07) 211-33068 M 0419 788 168

Bummer if you’ve been getting those unsolicited texts from Trumpet of Wankers™️. The head wanker has removed his phone numbers from his online profile. I guess he’s not a fan of unsolicited texts either. We feel you, bro!

Anyhoo, here’s a screenshot from before the deletion… #Auspol

A friend waiting silently in line to vote early was just harassed by other voters, because they weren’t holding a Liberal how to vote card. “Why is it that don't you know what's good for this country?” Remember when it was a secret ballot and we all minded our own fucking business?! #Auspol

You can’t punish people out of disability and/or disadvantage. Stop punching down to score political points. #Auspol

The cognitive dissonance is palpable. 🤯

Collingwood is where they breed them, I think. 😁
