I saw a video of Australians chanting before the USA vs Australia World Cup game. All they were chanting was “we’ve got free health care!”

As someone who is from NSW, I’m not going to have a good time in my Brisbane workplace tomorrow, am I?

Thank you @maintenancephase.bsky.social, before your salt episode I was blissfully unaware people were salting their rice water. My flabbers were gasted.

I had a brilliant plan yesterday to go to the physio and dentist before work. I think I am paying for it today.

Donald Trump inheriting a situation that was suboptimal but honestly fine, deciding to personally intervene, and making everything significantly worse at great taxpayer expense is a perfect synopsis of every single thing he has done as president both times.

My superannuation fund: did you know you can make voluntary contributions to your superfund? Me, a person who has been doing voluntary contributions every single month of her working life: yes.

I’ve had like three hours of sleep.

today I discovered this incredible story of a minor league pitcher who is 6'4 wears glasses and a ginger beard who hurt his elbow and went to the doc for Tommy John surgery and was mistaken for a pitcher from a diff team who was also there for TJ surgery on same day anyway heres their pics and names

Why is Drew Pavlou on my TikTok running around trying to shut down allegedly dodgy NDIS providers? Took me a hot minute to work out who it was.

Given how many little "big animals on wheels" we've had from all over the world, I think the prehistoric equivalent of "Truck Kid" might be "Ox Kid." (Ukraine, Crete, Maharashtra, Anatolia)

The guy playing Beetlejuice in the musical was a lead on Law and Order SVU. I’m losing my damn mind.

I cooked beef ragú for dinner.

Reading about measles and the fact that people legit won’t vaccinate their children astounds me.

I’ve been thinking about the translation of παΐς. What do you think of a link between slave and child being not just thinking of enslaved people as childlike? What about the fact that enslaved people and children have often been considered property? Maybe that’s what links them? Idk, it’s 10:30pm

I liked @doctorow.pluralistic.net’s book on Enshittification, however some of it went over my head but I do have a cold atm and that does not help.

Britbox has classic Dr Who, Jordan is unimpressed.

Happy Anniversary to Jordan, thank you for my flowers and book. (He has an account on here just to lurk).

Sometimes I think I can’t be neurodivergent, and then I put on the air conditioner to drown out the sound of the light.

i was not prepared for how much of adulthood is trying to decide what to eat

Now is the time to tell @iwriteok.bsky.social that there’s a woman that does bardcore covers of famous songs called Hildegard Von Blingin’. It’s good stuff.

The air con is blasting full on cold. Rip.

I had a sneaking suspicion my dentist might be on the spectrum. I came in for my appointment and he has a diorama set up in reception with a working train.

Me, an Asian: please stop making One Nation happen.

They are rebooting Inspector Rex, which begs the question where can I watch the old episodes? Both the Austrian and Italian seasons?

Have they seen a penis on a Greek statue?

I have made the first hot chocolate of the season, on the stove.

Tai Chi Cat pins! Lilichin.com Look under CATS

University administrators two years ago: we can’t allow social justice movements to change the university as we know it University administrators today: in order to accommodate the new probabilistic bullshit generator no one likes we must change everything about the university

I barely slept due to being claustrophobic and having an mri. Now I have to wait 10 hours to have it. Remind me to book these things first thing in the morning.

I googled brain MRI and saw the head cage, trying not to have a panic attack on the bus.

Is the stress of having a brain mri for my migraines giving me a migraine?

Between the heart condition, migraine issues, and possible neurodivergence I fear I may burn out. Actually, the heart condition is the only thing that seems to not be going badly. It’s just always there.

Trump missing his son’s wedding is giving this:

Jordan and I are engaging in parallel play. He has headphones on listening to music and playing RuneScape and I’m reading the gay hockey romance novel. Favourite Saturday activity tbh.

People have suggested various Odyssey adaptations I need to watch, but where is my adaptation of Athenian law court speeches?

Bad migraine yesterday, ibs today. Winning.

The first formal use of random subject allocation is credited to Austin Bradford Hill & the 1947 streptomycin trial. However, he was scooped by ~2000 yr. In ancient Athens the klèrôtèrion was a randomized allotment machine for fair & secure selection of candidates for juries and public offices 1/3

Listening to the History of Homophobia and the law court speeches is how I got into reading about it. @k8lister.bsky.social I did my honours thesis on Against Timarchos.

I watch a lot of TikTok videos of people making dollhouses, furniture etc. Today I found an account called thelittlestfuneralhome and I am not disappointed. The attic morgue with fridge unit that you can slide the dolls into undid me.

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

I’m taking a mental health day today.

Every time I go see the cardiologist I drop lots of money and she drops lots of wild medical lore.

My co-worker is from Canada and has given me a teabag of Maple Tea. I don’t know what to think about it.

Last night I had a dream I was in Pride and Prejudice and it was World War Two, and all the Bennett sisters worked at Bletchley Park.

I hate having to ask for a seat on a full bus.

I went on a boat today.

It doesn’t.

All my books from my migraine induced book buying session have arrived.
