Joy

I have zucchini out the wazoo atm, so I threw together an eggy zucchini slice the other day (one day I’ll find a good recipe, but for now I just wing it.)
I love coming in for lunch after gardening & not having to think about what to eat. Washed down with a smoothie using overripe bananas. Yum!

One bold investment in an empty building transformed this country town's main street A few years ago, Charleville's main street had lost its spark, with storefronts empty and windows shuttered. So, what does it take to bring a main street back to life?

I love stories like this! I wish that the empty shops near me would lower their rent so that we could have a more diverse collection of shop spaces. We don't need anymore massage parlours or real estate agents! But landlords get a tax break for empty shops.

I love Corky & The Juice Pigs.
REMember was my fave song.

It was hot and humid playing tennis last night. When I got home, the Fam were watching the downhill skiing,and at that moment I wished I was in that swirling snow.❄️ (I love Winter!)

Your EMOTIONAL SUPPORT Bluesky friends approve this trend.

My elderly neighbour likes to keep me updated on her TV watching. She loves "I'm a Celebrity, get me out of here!"
She just referred to George Calombaris as George Columbias and he shall be known by that name henceforth. 😂

Yuck.

I’m about to go and whack some balls around a tennis court and honestly, it’s too hot & humid & my body is conspiring against me.
But as per usual, I’ll feel better for having done it. (And I need the social interaction with the ladies.)

When I was at the hospital with one of my kids, many years ago, there was a baby with whooping cough & it was heartbreaking to witness. Why would anyone knowingly put their child through that?
We need better campaigns to cut thru the bullshit anti-vax discourse.

Oh! My! Giddy! Aunt!
I would be hyperventilating as I carried that to the registers.
I’ve never seen a Bitossi in the op-shop wilds and never at that price.

😩

The forbidden stuffing is horrible stuff. I hope you have a hose/shower handy after that.

A person wearing a grey tshirt with a print featuring a tabby kitten face in a black triangle. There is a large wet patch underneath the print, from sink water.

I've gotta stop washing the dishes just before heading out to the supermarket.
Or wear a waterproof apron, because this always happens.

Same. I’ve always wanted “swishy” hair, but I have wavy hair that is sometimes ringlets, sometimes straight. And it never sits right.

I have lots of black in different textures so this will be a fun challenge. 😁

A large gothic lantern in a fancy wrought iron style, hanging from a metal pergola. There is a lush green garden in the background as well as two metal chairs with tan vinyl cushions.

I used to think my design style was heavily influenced by Mid-Century modern, but now I’m going to go with eclectic maximalism.

My daughter angrily recounts stories like this everyday. She’s a tradie in a ute and gets tailgated, cars speeding up when she tries to overtake, being cut off etc. It’s not good enough!

Hard agree!
Folks are so rude on the road right now. No courtesy to other drivers whatsoever. 80k zone for roadworks? Fuck it, they say. 100k cos they’re more important than anyone else.

"Refusing is actually the more hopeful expansive vision of the future than the one that they're telling you is already settled."
I like that!

Hotels and motels used to draw weary travellers in with the promise of Foxtel.
Now it's EV charging points.

😂

Oh dear! That could’ve been nasty!

Every time I see a creative person posting those stupid ChatGPtT caricatures on FB, I die a little inside.
And then I block them or unfollow their business.
Because it's right up there with the "Just let us have a little bit of fun"-buys another fucking Labubu, crowd.
There's no Planet B, people!

Ugh!
I don’t get it. Flame throwers were outlawed in warfare because they’re barbaric but apparently these weapons are ok?
It’s time for the warlords to be punished.

The questions that need to be asked are this.
1. Who manufactures these weapons?
2. Who supplies the components for these weapons?
Then boycott the fuck out of anyone involved.
If the company you work for makes bombs, organise a strike.
The $5 p/h wage is not worth it to obliterate humans anywhere.

It's a fake though. The eyes are glitchy and there's a strong whiff of uncanny valley-ness about the clip.

I'm not fan of JD Vance, but that footage is fake. It's obviously altered with AI or a filter of some sort. The eyes give it away.

I have a box of really bad song lyrics...

a stainless steel can opener with a bottle top remover and hole punch apparatus.

I bought this can opener from Muji a few years ago because my Magican opener wouldn't cut through the high lip of the beetroot tin. It's all I use now.

So Albo just admitted that he doesn't know the difference between the Zionist Federation of Australia and the Jewish Council of Australia. Do ya homework, Anthony!
