Ha, opposite here, 30’s C

Pretty good

I haven’t roasted anything in ages… need to do that once the summer heat has gone

That sounds really good!

Ooh I haven’t had that in ages!

I think there’s a lot of gatekeepers

My job at the moment is ok, but who knows if it will continue in a few months. It’s not bad, but I miss the challenges and vibrancy of my last job in unis

I’ve notices Kmart and target have also started using auspost which they never used to, so I’m taking that as a sign even the companies hate couriers please

It is odd because I feel there’s a large (though insular) disability community there too. Perhaps the insular is the problem. And that pwME are always the wrong type of disabled.

I got a new book coming.

Who likes historical fiction?💙📚

Set on an isolated island off the west coast of Tasmania - The House on Rookery Rock - will be out in the coming weeks and need YOUR feedback on cover design.

Stay tuned...

But you’ll find her swinging from the impressive ceilings anyway? 😂

A bold graphic reads “Celebrating Black History Month” with the DREDF logo above. Surrounding panels feature Pan-African or Afro-American flag colors of green, red and black with decorative patterns, including zigzags, curved lines with yellow stripes, silhouettes of raised fists holding signs, and two hands reaching toward each other.

Black disabled people have always been at the heart of the disability rights movement: organizing, resisting + building care. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we continue to protect the hard-fought rights and build a future of equality.

Nice

I miss the people mostly. Unis have a lot of wonderful people working within them. Fantastic colleagues. Bright, helpful people always willing to learn and improve. My last job was a tiny but powerful team.

But the bureaucracy is very unfriendly. Don’t think I’ll ever be back in one.

Permitted = must be able to perform non disabled.

Housebound doesn’t meet those standards.

Extremely pleased I am no longer permitted to work in the uni sector. Between this and the proliferation of AI tools, what is even left at a university anymore?

I literally can’t hear my audiobook over them. It’s fucking ridiculous. I should be able to listen to an audiobook in bed with my window open.

Oh good they’re back with loud music right as I want to sleep.

None I think. I find the villagers really boring.

Oh that would make anyone mad. That day in day out… she clearly has more patience than me 😂 I’d snap in half a day in that job.

Dear every website ever: I never want you to include “marketplace” results.

They finally left about an hour after I posted this. Now I can open my windows for air without my skull vibrating

People have been partying opposite my house for about six hours now and my headache (their thumping music) make me wish they would go away now.

Critique I saw a post on social media a while back asking if you preferred no feedback or constrictive criticism as feedback.
