the lgbt swim team - they swim at various pools around melbourne. i'm on the adelaide dolphins swim team

prahran pool? visited for the first time last saturday for a swim with the glamourheads!

this is both sweet and unhinged on your cat's behalf

"there was no autism in our day"

ma'am your husband can't look me in the eye or respond when i ask how i can help them today

the could be

alpha bottom genes is this anything

"would you still love me if i were a wyrm?" if you read the NARNIA books you know that GOD would still love you were a wyrm

babes. i know you WANT people to not be worried about the toxic cloud, but i think that the time for that has passed. ocean swimming is not going to be on the cards for most people

there's a real "december 2019" energy to the SA state government in regards to the algal bloom

Tim Robinson behind the wheel of a car, looking out of the window, which frames his distressed face. Bottom text reads "I don't know what any of this shit is, and I'm scared"

this is one million percent more helpful for customer service people than any other confidently wrong approach you might have

"gen z stare" (fake concept) is just a customer service stare and exists because interrupting is rude, correcting is rude, and giving people space to make mistakes is, you guessed it, rude

i think fun socks (only) are for cowards. if no one can see your fashion choices unless you're at ease (which is at your discretion) then it isn't really a display, it's a dirty secret. fun should be neither of those things

sounds like something Mame would say

me, choking on the mucous in my lungs, having a puff: fire and air beats water and earth, though there are elements of earth in smoking unless hydroponic setups NEGATE the water element of smoking in which case has modern horticulture fucked up traditional medicine, do i need to smoke some new rainf

(doing it like this is actually very slow)

well
10d - sea levels
16a - 3+3 + 6 (hexa, probably)
48a - they're red vines
64a - lard, making 57d - bore

where are you at now, because i have a few

we misunderstood. man... kind 🥹

i am NOT going to start listening to CBB best ofs I am NOT

gasped when i saw the dream team on the reveal here and immediately went to watch. It was good

i've been loving how stupid High Potential is, especially since it's based on a french show called HPI: Haut potentiel intellectuel and turning a murder show into a little puzzle game for an explicit puzzler to solve is silly and fun

why would you write this thought into existence

ME: yeah could i get the impossible burger with cheese.
THE VIZIER WHO'S BEEN ADVISING ME: ahh, an excellent choice sire. an imitation of the genuine article. there are some "friends" of yours to whom it bears a passing similarity
ME: you want anything
VIZIER: [chuckles] what i want is of no import

it wasn't (just) asthma but i'm finding it strange that i've been truly unwell three times in two months merely a day after spending a few hours at the seaside

am i allergic to the ocean? are the brevetoxins going to take me first?

in the musical Mame, there's a song called The Man in the Moon and it's about a female astronomer who makes a universe shattering discovery. The man in the moon is a lady. A lady with lipstick and curls.

i like to think that's what this quote is referring to

anyway brevetoxins are terrifying and even if we solve this like NOW we'll be dealing with the issue for god knows how long

we've seen death for months on our beaches. Everything is dying. The strongest advice we've gotten from the state government is "prep an inhaler"

honestly I think they're flying blind and trying to avoid a "panic" that would reflect badly on polling numbers

I do everything right for my respiratory health - I have to, my voice is my job. I am functionally doing lung capacity tests two to three times a week

but just a few hours near the beach and my lungs are on fire

pretty fucking scary that spending three hours, indoors, near the beach, triggers my otherwise dormant asthma so badly that I have to pick up an inhaler

I don't think it's particularly conspiracy minded to say the state government is underplaying the algal bloom

yes! i keep getting too many messages about how many people want to date me! so frustrating!
