Yes... for those who want to vote No.. look at who else is voting No. That should be enough to tell you which way to vote.

If we don't get the Voice through this referendum I doubt it would ever get through at least for a few decades in a second one. It's either enshrine A Voice this time or nothing. Referendums are hard.

Got the sad news from my landlord that they're going to have to sell this house. They just bought it last year and have been lovely. They really like us as tenants so I know that it's not what they want to do.

Mortgage rate rises just mean they have to sell.

They given us a months notice.

But now onto the house search.

One of my friends started at my workplace. We work in an open office area and because of that I bought over ear earphones. It's generally accepted that when someone is wearing them they're trying to work.

My friend keeps coming over for a chat. Like not just a short one she fully sits down next to me.

I'm on a deadline so I think I'll just be straightforward and tell her that if my headphones are on I don't want a chat. Seems reasonable but I hate having these kinds of conversations...

It's Father's Day! I work at an outdoor venue and we predict it'll be chockers...

As long as it passed the sniff test...

Thanks for the supportive comments everyone. 🥹 I actually gave the FREE Nurse -On-Call service a ring as well, just because I started getting a bit worried after reading some other potential symptoms I might be having. Regardless the nurse was so thorough and amazing, and I didn't have to leave my bed. It's a free service and saves a trip to the doc (I'll still go to change my birth control).

But anyway, +1 for free Nurse on Call.

Been feeling like I have a massive constant headache lately, it's a semi regular thing. Went to the pharmacist to renew my birth control and get some aspirin for my headaches. The pharmacist actually ran back up to me whilst I was paying to suggest that maybe I'm having a bad reaction to the birth control, it's a potential side effect. I'm so grateful to her quick thinking. Heading back to my GP next week.

I know the decline of Twitter has been coming, but with Elon rebranding it as X, and reddits collapse, I bet many people (including me) are just waiting for a viable other option to come along.

Threads I only had like one look at and doesn't appeal.

Lemmy is OK but the layout IS confusing. Without the DT I'd be checking Lemmy less ..

I've finally succumbed to the reddit API changes.

Lemmy is still a bit strange to me, but I think I'm finally getting it to the point of being similar to what I was seeing on Reddit (albeit with much fewer users and therefore less content).

I'm glad to see the Melbourne daily thread be active here.

Seeing how few users there are on Lemmy also makes me feel like I want to be more active?! I was much more of a lurker on Reddit.

I've found a few communities like those I followed on Reddit, but it's quite depressing how quiet they are. Hope more people make it over.

Wow the mods were really working hard to make IAMA a special place. Hope the drop in quality becomes clear ..
