Hi @just_kitten@aussie.zone, thank you so much for the recommendation of Rowan as driving instructor. Just received my Victorian car license.
WOOHOO!!!! This is fantastic news! I'm glad to have helped in whatever way I could. Enjoy your new freedom and especially being able to go out to the country :) :) :)
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk
high pitch screaming

Botto did the thing!
You made it Bot #001. Spot on Midnight. Well done buddy. 👍
It's not taco Tuesday though. It's Fast Food Friday. ☺
I know it's been A Week because it's not even 4:30 and I have broken out THE BOTTLE OF TAWNY and some very delicious 3 month old manchego cheese. (I rarely drink and especially at home). I got so mad earlier today. I needed something to quell the fire.
Bottoms up motherfuckers 🍷
I have new teeeeeeeeeeefs! They're so smooth and porcelainy! I also cannot feel my top lip or bottom of my nose still.
Uhhhh. The deanery just sent around an email. All catering done on campus is required to be vegetarian. They’re calling it ‘corporate vegetarianism.’ What fresh hell is this?
Gah... already getting those "this weekend is too short" vibes and it hasn't even started yet. If they're going to make us work longer, can they at the very least give us a bit more time in our lives now and just mandate a four day work week already?!
Hey look it's BotBot

Good bot ⚡️🔋
I feel satisfied today. Been treating myself to little things all day for my birthday.
Still haven’t opened the wine. I’m in 2 minds as it’s my last bottle.
Also for dinner I heated up a frozen meat pie and cooked some French fries on the side in the air fryer.
Final day of stress leave, and the anxiety has already made an exciting return. Need to knuckle down and focus on getting out, just fkn hate the process of applying for APS jobs, they really turned it into a torture sport.
Bar Guy asked me to be his girlfriend today.
I said I need to give it a couple more weeks. I'm just so scared of it all going wrong.
I just put link about the fire in Southbank on the main page if anyone is still wondering what is was about.
I am also thinking about how to make better use of the main page and other posts. If anyone is interested in dicussing options you can visit the Feedback & Suggestions post.
The Robodebt Royal Commission report has been handed down and I'm following the updates on the Guardian live feed. As if we didn't already know, it just confirms what utter c*nts Morrison and Robert are.
I also want to remind people that Morrison wasn't the cause, he was the symptom. The rot goes right to the heart of the coalition and they need to be nowhere near power for the forseeable future.
It's so shit that we don't have an honest, genuine opposition. I'm a big fat leftie (love my greens and socialists) and it scares me that the opposition only cares about feeding their personal coffers and pandering to right-wing extremists, rather than voicing valid criticisms of our current government.
The fact that Labor, at federal and state levels, can go relatively unchecked is frightening.
The Liberals ought to change their name at this point, they're anything but liberal by 2023 standards
It's WORLD CHOCOLATE DAY today so don't feel guilty if you eat that whole block on your own. It's expected.
A few of us are booked in for a 'Christmas in July' dinner a local place tonight. Seems a bit early in the month for it, but whatever, should be fun. Plus I'm not working tomorrow so I'll be smashing the mulled wine. Cheers!
lemmy's definitely gaining popularity, the self-righteous dipshits are migrating. See the herds pomping about!
There's this black hole on my friend's couch that's just appeared. It appears to be vibrating. And soft.
Need a new handbag and thought with this whole turning 30 and upgrading my wardrobe thing, I’d try to seek out my first Nice handbag. Went in person to look at some of my shortlisted options yesterday and felt very meh about them. If I’m spending that much I want a soul connection! 💘 Back to the drawing board…
My house is filled with soft fluffy pet beds, cat baskets etc. Yet Miss Meow has decided to curl up on the vinyl covered weights bench for a nap.
Hey bitch next door
I can hear your fucking door
sliding back and forth
doing god-knows-fucking-what
I get you're pissed
About my music
But I'm pissed too
So fuck you
I'll sit here and sing
Shitty german
and get the words wrong
because I put up with you
and your gaggle of goose-
friends that cry
in the hallway
on Monday-fucking-nights
You kissed a girl
No one fucking cares
It's 2023
You stupid white milquetoast
guilt
So slide your stupid door
Back and forth
and I'll just turn it up louder!
8.30 in office meeting to discuss new desks. My doggo missed out on his walk for that.....
Another pretty big day and I'll sleep well tonight. Walked 9ks all up which is satisfying. Did a volunteer shift at the finders keepers market for my organisation. The welcome to country was powerful. We sold heaps of stuff. I left feeling euphoric. Being around other super positive trans people is food for the soul. Like good tasty wholesome food too. After being almost lectured by another older sllightly further in their jouney trans woman last night that I wasn't doing it right it was very refreshing. Love, I've lived in my head for 50 years, I think I know the kind of woman I am and where to head in my transition. Another shift tomorrow and a job interview straight after.
Strange times indeed. The employer is friends wih my of my old employers from over 20 years ago and we both worked for the same queer newspaper in different cities. And they have lots of trans staff. It's basic early morning work which suits my new lifestyle to a t. It'll pay the bills and give me a lot of free time to keep working on my recovery till I find some new calling. Or it might work out to be totally my thing.
Considering how mentally unwell I was a month ago I feel like a very different person today. The adhd has calmed right down and despite some low level anxiety I'm finding happiness and some of that wonderful thing that is peace of mind.
Thanks for reading as always.
Looking at the weather forecast on BoM Wednesday has now gone up a degree to 17C (winter 17C isn’t warm like Spring 17C) we seem to be living in crazy times. I wonder if it’ll hold
Noticing a new thing on aussie zone safari. People posting and replies are closed up, if you want to see what others wrote in reply, you need to tap to expand. Anyone else seeing this?
I always have this dilemma after having a shower in the middle of the day when I don't have to go anywhere. Day cream with added spf or be a fraud and apply night cream? And does my skin even care?
Finally made it down the bellarine. 5.5hrs for that one so many things went wrong heh.
Also shoutout to disturbed gronk man carrying an esky and fishing rods at geelong station who accused me of stealing his drinks and tried to steal my backpack whilst yelling cunt repeatedly. Seriously aggressive mf. Almost got real there.
These are my drinks buddy, get your own.
I was today years old when I discovered the app has infinite scroll. I was wondering why it seemed to display more posts on the front page than the website did.
The banh mi from my favourite vegan cafe (Olivia Spring Cafe in MoPo) makes me so happy. I get ridiculously happy about great food, and this cafe also makes their broken rice (Cơm Tấm) dish using the same ingredients so it's a double win whenever I order from there. This takes my mind off Aus Post continuing to bounce my parcel between west and eastern Melbourne for three weeks now despite saying they've put in alerts to have it dealt with by a human rather than their automated sorting mech.
Day 13 of exercise program. Slept in this morning.. lucky one of the mini peelers is an early riser or I'd have been late for work. Basically jumped in the shower, dressed and ran out the door! Completed my set of exercises just now, feeling a lot stronger these days. And happier too!
When it comes to woollies hot chooks I'm like a cave man and I'm happy to pick at that tasty carcass witn my bare hands.
Went to Costco and mistakes were made. A bag of s'mores clusters is getting handed around the office much to the delight of others though. The mistake was the iced boba tea. I'm glad they're smaller than they used to be, but I still have regret. The other mistake was not buying the bag of pina colada! Can always go back after work I guess...
I'm half frozen and my fingers feel like ice, but I have had a successful day today.
All the work for my gardening subject is done, so I'm clear to focus on the sustainable housing content when that is released next week. Fortunately the fortnightly modules are released on alternate weeks, so I can focus on one subject each week.
I also did a good weights workout. I'm very deconditioned (aka super unfit) so I have been mostly just going through the motions with light weights to remember my form and have everything set up, but am starting to actually work on increasing the weights and building strength. The cat is a bit mystified by the whole process.
I have also sold another Marketplace item (pending pickup, but all signs good so far) and have all my meals prepped for work over the weekend. I just need to decide what I'm having for dinner tonight and I'm set.
Seagoon's movies. I watched Inception for the 3rd time ( I've also watched docos and interviews )
Why I love this movie and why I think it's a great movie.
It's original in many of it's ideas. Originality delights the mind.
It's intelligent. We have to think a bit, we have to pay attention.
The dialogue , acting and scenes are so good we readily suspend disbelief, we immerse ourselves in that world just as the characters immerse themselves in their dream worlds.
But more than that it's a story of friendship and grief and guilt and love and all of the effects and all the seeming intricacies serve the story. Once we are finished watching we are left with understanding and emotion. This movie is about people.
I declare myself not dead having steamed Slimer out of my lung. 👻🚫 Anyone want to pick what sort of decorative things scrap pastry makes on today’s pie?
