Tasted so good
Delivering a gamefish Ed wine tasting in 76% humidity and you bloody bet I’m going straight for the alcoholic ginger beer. Bloody QLD. This Melbournian is just not cut out for such oppression.
When your friends shout your uber home on their profile…
The “DiDi year wrapped” is a little stalker-ish if you ask me.
Knowing my music tastes is one thing. Capturing all of my rideshare trips, locations and times is not data I want summarised and reported.
Capitalism 🤮
Obligatory “I’m wearing a dress and it has pockets” post.
Jesus Christ, Victoria. I spend one day out of the state, distracted, and wake up to a new bloody liberal leader?
It must be Tuesday.
After running Darkfield FLIGHT for a few weeks now, today I take an actual flight to run an event in Brisbane: a Gatsby themed casino with a nefarious art auction for participants to bid their winnings on. A long day, but a pretty sunrise to give me a send off.
but fail. It won’t start again, but at least the car is garaged until I can sort a fix.
Shoutout to a certain comedy enthusiast with an ascending laugh who brought jumper cables at an obscene hour, and respect to the few that stopped to check on me, community hasn’t completely died, but it’s close!
What a clusterfuck of a day yesterday. Got caught up in a bomb scare at work so stood in the rain for 2 hours waiting for that to resolve. And when I finally got back to my car at 10pm, the battery had died (nothing left on, so weird!). Cut to me driving an additional hour home to charge it up…
The area is reopening.
Don’t leave your bags unattended, kids.
#Melbourne #NGV
#Melbourne folks, best to avoid #NGV and Arts Centre, as police have shut down the area. Time to reopen as yet unknown.
Column A, Column B in equal measures.
When I arrived at work my colleague said “I didn’t recognise you, you look ethereal”
Is that just code for “you look dead”?
Tim Minchin at the Palais was everything my soul needed. Particularly special to share the night with an ex Butterfly Club colleague given Tim’s opening video.
What an incredible artist.
Mind the gap
lol. We just got the hail.
Back back back again helping to run Darkfield immersive experiences, FLIGHT and INVISIBLE in front of the Melbourne Arts Centre.
Rain, hail or shine, we here. And we’ve had 2/3 so far today.
I know I would be a much more creative, and prolific, artist if I wasn’t EXHAUSTED from doing all the other “rent jobs”.
Friends don’t let friends ‘Fox And Friends’
@justaan.bsky.social my god. Is it yourself? Hey stranger
Work trip to Sydney (and Noosa and Brisbane and….).
I might be a melbournite but this sign got me nostalgic for my regional nsw uni days
Tooheys old was my go to drink in uni days.

Right! What a find. I’ll definitely revisit this film in a little while.
Every now and then the algorithm leads you to something incredible, 5 yrs later than it should have.
I implore you to take 20 mins to watch this beautiful short film.
I miss being involved in projects like this, that to me are way more successful than a blockbuster movie.

Perhaps Wesfarmers should be using some of that profit to buy back the recycled soft plastics it uses for its products that cause the waste in the first place.

Went to get a flu vax a few weeks ago. Was told by chemist they’d just sold out, and had been hard to come by. Due to low demand / late seasonal uptake, manufacturers hadn’t produced as much this year.
Anyone else come across this?
Surely someone can use AI or photoshop to match the colour of their skin tone around the eyes to fill out the form fitting masks they’re wearing to get a decent photo fit like image. They’re not that well disguised.
Top phrases I’ve learned today, that I love:
“Theftosterone”
“When we break, we wake”.
And “anger is the new femininity”.
Like they give a fuck about their employees 😂
