oh god Bronte this is so awful, I am so sorry and hope you’re okay

that guy is just one of thousands to be “played by Mick and Keef”, or at least, the RS merchandising arm

hanging out with friends you’ve known since the 90s next to synths from the 70s before moving on to old booze in a bar with a Phil Collins/Breeders/Spin Doctors was very very good

I visited the new site of Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio and then had two drinks at the Whiskey Den which had the advantage of being wildly nostalgic and very on trend at the same time

I had a salad for dinner last night and I swear I heard the “Mario gets more powerful” sound effect while I was eating it

it‘s always tempting to disregard this stuff as hyperbolic rage bait but wtf

here I was thinking that debs couldn’t get more ick, but I’ve just been presented with “possibly for the for profit of an individual family“ deb and ughghhhhhhh

you’re laughing but he was basically forced to do this so John Cusack wouldn’t be jealous of him any more

so “feeding your family as a 38 year old“ is “splurging on rotisserie chickens“ now? JFC get a grip MSM

my favourite bit of this story is that she wasn’t born when Michael Hutchence died so it’s WILD to me that my musing that the narrative seemed very Farriss-centric and that it would have been interesting to see the conflict in the band relating to royalties unpacked made her so very cross

it’s the 12 year anniversary of my cousin being so angry about my opinions regarding the INXS made-for-TV biopic that she unfriended me on Facebook

🎶 thaaaaaatttt’sss Elmo‘s woooorlld 🎶

(Elmo loves you)

spent some time with a therapy dog today and our old dog is deeply intrigued by the scents I have brought home with me

been trying to tell my teen this

I am so tired and I tell you what isn’t helping is endless algo-pushed quizzes about menopause, therapy, emotional eating and adult ADHD diagnosis for women. All those things are important but at this precise time I‘d prefer to scream until my nervous system resets and then hide under a blanket

so good! Love this for you x

I wish her mum had had the presence of mind to say “yeah they're just having heaps of safe sex” but sadly she did not

one of my middle-aged friends was seen buying condoms at the local supermarket once and a nosy stranger asked her mother if ”everything was okay in her marriage“

plot twist: I accidentally rustled a paper bag and he’s back surveilling me for crumbs

hang on the little dog heard a fork scraping so he went to see what’s up over there

Harry has the nice pastry in the other room but the dogs know I am much more likely to give them some of mine so they’re clustered around me (the old dog is literally drooling onto my knee)

gosh I am absolutely loving the caring, supportive responses to Josie Scott from the Mark of Cain

just saw a marketplace listing promising Edwardian medieval sideboard made
in Beechworth and gotta say at least one of those things isn’t true

while the first efforts were haphazard (“Australian trees” rather than locally Indigenous species) there is now a thriving ecosystem, and a few years ago they even discovered a colony of Kreffts gliders!

the photo above is from the SLV collection and was taken in 1947. In 1962, TH was declared a state game reserve and reforestation efforts commenced. From a different vantage point, this is what it looked like two weeks ago (my photo)

a black and white photo of a stark agricultural landscape - a hill with no trees and a narrow road leading to the peak. to the left a low small body of water

A local history FB group posted this photo of one of my favourite places in the world, Koroitj (Tower Hill) in SW Victoria. The landscape was completely deforested for agriculture, despite being declared Victoria’s first National Park in 1892 (just 3 years after the world’s first, Yellowstone)

running the gauntlet of getting flagged by the school manager software for logging in too many times because I am anxious about the kid being anxious

mood slime?

Harry I can’t believe you got to mention both your hat triumphs in one thread, an exceptional achievement in the world of posts, 10/10 😎
