Mama’s Mojo Dojo Casa House

They’re so pretty!!

Also, my favourite fun fact about this piece: I have it on good authority that “pipe” is French slang for a blow job, so you think it’s deep existential commentary on representation vs reality or something, and maybe it is—but it is also a dick joke 😂

(I have a vague feeling we were born in the same year, which I could easily confirm by looking up the painting that you posted, but I don’t wanna)

Everyone knows the original so here are a couple of memes based on the first one that came up 😂 idk if this is my very favourite from that year, but Surrealism as a whole is my most favourite art movement.

Hell yes this is perfect bc Surrealism is my most favourite movement!!

I’ve probably used single-dwelling wrong there but you know what I mean

(This also made me think about the beautiful brown brick Art Deco apartment buildings scattered around the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, with their rounded corners & purely decorative bits—people who can’t afford to live in a single-dwelling house still deserve beauty.

Why don’t they make beautiful things for everyone any more? This toaster *could* have been a beautiful thing made for rich people i guess, which we still have now of course, but it doesn’t seem like it would have *had* to be expensive, just based on what it’s made from.

Lmao my kids love it when I go shopping hungry bc I impulse buy so much crap

I made this meme ages ago but I only just wrote this “i lik the bred” format poem to go with it (based on actual quokka behaviour!)

my name is quokka,
and wen I fright,
or wen a danger
is in sight,
and all my thoughts
are just to save
myself alone
i yeet the babe.

Also discovered in yesterday’s heat: the slushie cup manufacturers won’t let me be great 😤😡

Yesterday when it was about 35°C here (95°F), these green pinecones I left outside got dry-roasted on the side that was exposed to the sun but stayed green on the underside.

In the English subtitles of the Comanche dub version, they don’t translate the French. I cannot fucking win lol

In order to watch Prey with the Comanche dialogue *translated into English* (at least at the beginning, admittedly i didn’t get very far in), you have to watch the Comanche dub version with English subtitles on. Get it together, Disney+.

Connect the ADHD dots here to guess what I keep singing to myself every time I play this song

“This song is about Eminem, did I tell you that? He was spreading rumours that he’d had sex with Mariah Carey & so she wrote a song basically making fun of him for it. As she should!”

Me infodumping at my kids in the car last week: “Beyoncé wrote this about her husband—that’s Jay-Z—cheating on her after she caught him. Wrote a whole-ass album about it!”
…

My dad infodumping at me in the car when i was a kid: [lengthy expounding on European historical events or Australian political history]
…

Gorgeous

Also, I’ve been dangerously vindicated for keeping all the little black plastic coated wire twist ties wrapped around the electrical cords of every small appliance I’ve ever bought 😱😎
3/3

This looks horrible, but at least I have a shade over it that I can put up and take down by myself, and it’s a hardcore tarp so I don’t *think* it’ll get ripped to shreds like the nice cover did.
2/3

The original cover for this gazebo frame got ripped to shreds in high winds, and it definitely wasn’t because it was weakened by being left on out in the weather for months like the instructions said not to do 😣
1/3

What you don’t know can’t hurt you imo. I only started washing the couch with the spot cleaner because when Pomette was little she peed on it

This reminded me of the absolute horror sludge results whenever i use my spot cleaner to clean my couch 😱

Love a good mocktail!
I’ve used elderflower cordial and normal tonic water in them before, it’s a good flavour combo! And/or lime cordial—but only the fancy Schweppes one, not the bright green kids one.

(The only person I had heard of with that name was Nene Leakes, a Black woman. We are not Black. Seemed unlikely he had heard of her, but I did not ask any follow-up questions)

Anyway, eventually I saw the toy in question… it was a dark-coloured horse, named Chocolate Neigh-Neigh.

Just remembered the time when Dude was about 5 or 6 & he referred to one of his stuffed toys at his dad’s house by the name he’d given it, which I heard as Chocolate Néné, & I was like wow that’s… creative? Borderline problematic? +

Pros of living in bushland: getting to see beautiful birds like this male Eastern Spinebill practically posing for his close-up in my backyard.
Cons of living in bushland: panicking whenever there’s a lot of wind on a very, very hot and sunny day (because 🔥)

“Humanity is a rich tapestry”, I say to myself whenever I encounter an opinion that is *puzzlingly* different to my own 😂

We literally had to cross the street to go look at this bc Pommie was so suspicious of it 😂
