Today has generally been shitty, but I have really enjoyed, "How dare you, that is not a 'hot priest'. He's Presbyterian. That is a hot minister."

A fake cardboard brick hanging in a window, with a yellow sticky note saying “40 years of windows”.

A wider view of the window display, showing the brick hanging in a window surrounded by a wall made of matching paper bricks. A ladder leads to the window.

Shh! No-one tell Winston about this window display in Cuba St right now!

I am required, REQUIRED, to use double spacing at work.

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

This is how my brain functions in spring. I have high anxiety and stress. Also, I have decided the wall of the garage that faces into the garden is super boring and should have an outrageous-level floral mural all over it as soon as possible.

“The alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.”

New VR has just transcribed "geriatrician" as "severely old paediatrician", and, I guess?

I did too much in the garden yesterday (my 50s CFS baseline is ridiculously low) and spent the evening for-realsies struggling to stand up.

Problem being, it is a GORGEOUS day and there are still forget-me-nots that need pulling out.

Heh, I have a friend who has one in his back yard he refers to as "that bastard".

Gorgeous. Is that pink tree a Chinese toon?

To be fair, I thought very little of her before she misquoted one of my favourite plays.

A play I wrote on for Honours contending that it is packed full of fuckwits and has no moral centre. I got an A.

You still have to have people with money to sell whatever your slaves are making to.

Turns out I can make it simpler...

Can't make money off people who don't have money.

That is basically the left side of my front porch. I love this time of year.

A mass of white jasmine with blue wisteria flowers visible at the top.

Further to “my garden is fucking bonkers”, the wisteria appears to have snuck all the way through the banksia rose and is making a play for the jasmine.

It is, effectively, the same as not having a GP.

First available appointment with my actual GP was in DECEMBER. I am never getting to seeing him again.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

I don’t know how to make this simple enough for our government.

Best way make economy go Brrrrrmmmm is give $$ to poors cause they spend it.

It also insisted that the surgery a patient had had for a hoarse voice and upper respiratory tract infections was "amputation", which I guess would make it stop.

Watching the new VR system's descent is just fascinating, and very much a group project. Yesterday it transcribed "Yours sincerely" as "six-inch screwdriver".

Aw, don’t make me go all the way back through my feed to find out how long ago “People who don’t want bricks thrown through their windows shouldn’t have windows” was.

It started raining quite steadily about 10 minutes ago. So today's game is, How long will the neighbours nevertheless persist with the chainsaw?

So, child support payments run until 20 now, right? I mean, otherwise this is just going to suck a whole lot more money out of the economy.

Also, there are no fucking jobs, you absolute shopping trolleys.

This Second Winter sucks balls. On the other hand, the diagonal rain slamming into the house is possibly cleaning the windows?

Min is currently really shitty with me because I wouldn't give him any glue.

Do you not think, if t'were possible to do this on the app, that's what I'd be doing?!

So. WINZ is requiring me to go see my GP again to confirm that my permanent health condition is still permanent, an enormous waste of taxpayer money and health system capacity.

I spent 20 mins on hold this morning trying to get through to my Dr's. Every 5 minutes, they suggested booking on the app

Boooooooooo
