Kalliste

Went to a new hairdresser today. I was nervous! But she was very good and she listened and did what I asked and now I have wisps of half flopping into my eyes, but that's ok, because it's what I actually wanted!

Perfect album that came out when you were 16:
MxPx - The Ever Passing Moment

Honourable mentions that were just the music of my teens:
Klinger - Grimshaw St
Bodyjar - How it Works
Blink 182 - Enema of the State - I was 15, but I'm counting it because All the Small Things came out when I was 16.

Same year for me! And I was learning to rage with RATM too :D

You say that, but you'll also know they have KPIs including call times to meet.
So, you are negatively effecting the person you're speaking with who has to follow whatever script/information they've been provided.

Hi Dave! I somehow randomly stumbled upon your account and thought "wait, isn't that Dave that used to post in Kimchica's Discord?"

Found this and knew it was!

Sometimes I think "I wonder how Dave, Billy and the sheep are going". Hope you're doing well!

Stag had been going through a lot.
Each day, he drew strength from something as simple as a breath.
As he faced the morning, he’d wrap himself in gentle mist, pause, and inhale the cool, earthy air.
Moments like this - gentle, quiet and still - he could rediscover his strength.

So, how do I find people to follow on bsky without getting bombarded with politics?
Sorry, I don't want to see what Trump did today, or yesterday or plans to do tomorrow.

Not indie, but I've been playing Assassin's Creed: Shadows and have spent a lot of time taking NPC portraits.

Who needs the main quest line 😅

Something I enjoy with Assassin's Creed games is the little interaction. Shadows doesn't have much of that, so I'm just making own.

Somehow, before ever playing the video. I knew it was this song and this part.

Yes. Being childfree at an age where most people aren't makes it pretty hard.

Ever since I first saw Tiny Chef singing Bad Guy, I wake up with it in my head every day.

I'm ok with this.

To end the year, I just wanted to post all four seasons of my artwork for Steam. This year was an incredible journey! 🎇

I bought mine specifically for Animal Crossing :D

Is there anywhere to see all of them together?

Screenshot from an article that says: Purpose is bullshit. What if I told you that your purpose right now is to be here. That’s it. All you have to do is show the fuck up. If you want to paint, paint. If you want to write, write. Bake bread? Do it. No wonder so many people feel like failures. Being told they have to have a \”purpose\” makes them feel like they haven\’t hit their KPI\’s for life and should just shove their head in the oven and be done with it. Put bread in the oven, not your head!™

As someone who has struggled with purpose and passion for most of their life, this article by @kateforsterauthor.bsky.social is excellent!

Time to go bake the cake. 🍰

Despite being a mid baker at best, this remains one of my favourite sticker sheets 🥨🥖🥐✨

Hah, I was going to reply the same! And while hugging, just take a little nibble.

Why do all the fun drinks have to be alcoholic? At the supermarket, it seems like there is no change or innovation in soft drink. Just the same old coke/pepsi offering, but alcohol seems to be booming!

I don't drink alcohol anymore, but would like to have a tasty drink treat occasionally.

I knew periods stopping were a potential with the IUD, but it didn't stop me being anxious.

I also wish doing a covid test (or any test for that matter), was as easy as peeing on a stick.

Gross. Now we have to interact with the ads before seeing the article?

Love the colour palette!

I'm guessing that means you thought it was a game worth playing? I saw that it had mixed reviews on Steam.

Did my first ever pregnancy test today. So many options and a bit of information overload on the packaging.

I also felt anxious looking at them. Like it's a secret to maybe be pregnant, but not to actually be pregnant.

Congratulations are in order though. I am not pregnant. My IUD is just IUDing.

Sneaky preview of the piece I made for the Growth art book!

I've spent the last few days up in Cairns. Whenever I mentioned to people that I was coming here, they always exclaimed "But it's so hot!" which was entirely the point.

It's been so nice to be somewhere tropical! Such a beautiful place.

Could have been more fresh pineapple though.

My condolences for day 4. Sounds horrible 🤢

Is this an Australian advent? Winter warmer seems like a strange choice for one, but it did seem like it had some good Christmas flavours!

We need photos! What do they look like before you open them? What do they look like once they're steeped? What does your mug look like? Are you using different mugs?

I'm definitely not playing a game that I bought more than 12 months ago instead of the games I bought this week!

Looks so serene and safe! I'm envious of her!
