Graphic of a spider in a corner of a room under a beam of light.
All I want is someone to make me a cup of tea and pat doggos with me. Instead I keep seeing men who set a timer for aftercare <\3

I feel like I would have loved it, if the “tiles” weren’t so obviously fake :(

The internet that raised me was feral and deeply unhinged. But it was also the place where I figured out I was gay. The government's plan to delete that space for the next generation feels... ick.

Metro Tunnel? Football?

But how?
I have some opinions on getting to the footy post-MM1

I was in Sydney and rode everything* - metro, light rail, ferries, even a replacement bus - here’s my slightly chaotic, deeply opinionated transit diary 🚅💅

A sattrrical version of a PTV infographic
📢 From 11:59pm tonight, all public transport services will operate on an extremely limited public holiday timetable. 🚌🚋
We understand this is inconvenient. Thank you for your patience as we continue to ignore the way people actually travel on weekends and public holidays.
🚆 Caulfield Station is one of Melbourne’s busiest, but if you can’t use steep ramps, you can’t use this station. No lifts. No escalators. Just… this. Public transport should be accessible to everyone.

What is it? Some sort of event space?

Flemington racecourse platform. Passengers disembarking a Comeng train.

Officially visited all 222 metro train stations - finishing off at Flemington Racecourse on this glorious Melbourne day!

🚨Unfit for the Future!🚨
With the Metro Tunnel opening this year, Caulfield will get even busier - but it’s not fully accessible & passengers must tap on/off just to change platforms!
Time to fix this before it gets worse!

With the threat of debit card payments, she’s feeling very fragile. Be gentle!

Exterior of the train, the Overland logo on the centre of the carriage
Interior of the train, seats with faded fabric & stains, carpet fraying
The Overland is very odd, I have no idea who it’s supposed to be serving…
It’s not exactly cheap, about the same $ as flying, the ‘red class’ isn’t particularly nice either - the car was quite worn & dirty, not exactly a luxury experience.
Wouldn’t recommend 11 hours on a train…
Vibrant sunrise over the platform at Carnegie Station.

Looking down the newly refreshed Degraves St subway at Flinders Street Station. The walls & floors are tiled in neutral colours.
They built a secret tunnel under Flinders that no one knows about

A radiant sunrise behind the platforms at Carnegie Station. A HCMT pulled up to the station on the right.
Think this one-ups that pretty sunrise from last week 🌅
