Camera knows what's important.

This Pluribus ad on a fridge caused a schizophrenic woman named Carol to be hospitalized.

"Child proof" anything underestimates actual children, while vastly overestimating many adults.

Smells like cinnamon when your feet get warm.

🙏 The unposted skeet in me bows to the unposted skeet in you. 🙏

In breaking news my generic Ritalin has introduced me to a new terrible idea: child proof blister pack packaging for meds. Can't break the foil, you need to master The Technique first. 0/10 just put them in a bastard bottle.

Spotify Wrapped but it's how often and under what circumstances I started replying to a message, stopped, started over, stopped again, and gave up.

Congratulations and/or commiserations to your roof, as applicable.

Orange-ass weather. (The town, not the colour or the fruit or the president.) Christmas Eve we had to do an emergency K-Mart run to buy fans because we were dying in our shitty hotbox rental, and on Boxing Day we were huddled under a doona arguing about who was going to deal with the frozen taps.

OK, am I the only one nervous and discomfited by the lurking presence of a *fifth* DPN in the background? What is it for? Who sent for it? What does it want?

Bread and circuses, but the bread is $12/loaf and moldy and the circus is AI slop that stops every 3 mins for an ad break.

LinkedIn took one look at my background and decided the only thing I'm good for is scam AI prompt jobs, and I have never been so insulted by something that is probably true.

Who are we to say the librarians (and the animals) don't deserve a personal chef on site?

A quick recap of Santa's reindeer for you: Dasher, Rudolph, Sporty, Scary, Mr. Blonde, Doc, Bashful, Steve McQueen and Yul Brynner.

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”

Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

It varies council to council but yes, it's a thing.

Vintage illustrated postcard with a drawing of a medium haired cat tangled up in string with a bandage around its head looking quite pathetic. Text on it says I have troubles of my own. Don’t mention yours.

Postcard from my collection, sent 1912.

Pretty much everyone in #PoveratyXmas is also disabled, so for #InternationalDayOfPeopleWithDisability #IDPwD I'll share this thread again, feel free to add your paylinks or wishlists if you're poor and/or disabled in so-called Australia

Happy International People with Disabilities Day Australia!

We are also enjoying a lovely cool spell here, by which I mean it's 29 degrees at lunchtime rather than 39 like it was a week ago.

Is that arsehole still alive and not in jail yet? (I have been avoiding the news for my mental health.)

Also Decaders/TM fans/the Watson Autistic Army, but I feel kinda weird about my involvement in the group since I'm so much older than most of you and also not a Decader (came in after that) so I worry I've got the vibes of the old guy hanging around the kids trying to be hip and cool. :)

LOL same - mine always has a good dose of people I follow and like their posts but they don't know I exist (and that's fine) and people I had one reply-reply exchange with about some random fandom thing so the app's decided that counts as social interaction.

Me either, but I used to run a trivia night at the Berserker Tavern so I feel this on a deeply instinctive level.

I didn't even get a staff morning tea when I left. :/

Bloody hell.

This one maybe *two* dudes in a bear suit.

I can't get over bears being real. Even now I've seen some IRL. They're just *so* dude-in-a-bear-suit shaped.
