Umm remember when I was talking about being able to get pregnant without/outside a uterus... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This sums up so so many of my feelings. Gonna take a beat and then do a rewatch in the new year. evanrosskatz.substack.com/p/its-been-f...

Ok it's been 6 weeks since I left my job and I'm starting to feel ok. It's in the rear view mirror, I've been getting lots of deep sleep. Doing things I enjoy. I feel like I need at least a few more weeks to recover from this burnout but who knows how long it will take me to find a new job.

Hyperventilating, Heated Rivalry finale comes out in 2 minutes. Switching the projector on NOOOOEWWWWW.

Just my annual PSA - you don't have to buy Christmas presents, children do not owe you hugs or any kind of greeting/affection, you don't need to spend Christmas with people who make you feel unsafe, you deserve to eat and food is morally neutral. Love you!

to add to the Jake Paul schadenfreude, Andrew Tate also lost a fight to some reality TV influencer. most analysis of the fight I've read described his opponent as deeply untalented but Andrew lost anyway. Tate's endurance was awful and he was gassed after the first round.

The penultimate episode of #HeatedRivalry was, with no exaggeration, one of the best episodes of TV in 2025. www.slashfilm.com/2056398/heat...

Looking after this little baby has been so lovely 😍

you are not owed the affection of your children, but they are owed yours. if this seems unfair to you you are not fit to have kids. they don't get the choice that you do

We really are living through a time where megaphones are bestowed upon the dumbest cunts in the history of human endeavour

FACTS! The gay hockey show is CANADIAN CONTENT, kids - and it shows.

A Few Good Men. Best in Show. A Mighty Wind. Miss Congeniality. Barcelona. All three movies in Linklater's "Before" trilogy. Music & Lyrics. Michael Clayton. All films that were able to be made because of the production company Reiner co-founded in order to give talented filmmakers creative freedom.

As usual Jack has been working through my triggers & helping. Things are going more smoothly. I also got a proper training lead, why didn't I get one of these 10 years ago it's such a game changer. They feel like they're autonomous but I can keep them safe. It's key to getting them to toilet outside

Crashed out so hard about THAT needle-drop in #HeatedRivalry episode 4 that I wrote an entire article about it. www.slashfilm.com/2050452/heat...

I have to say fostering dogs when you have OCD is not a great combo. I'm so freaking stressed and anxious. I think this will be our last foster I just can't handle it. I'm soooooo sensitive.

Just got tickets to Dropout Improv in Melbourne next year 🎉

"Australia passes a shameful milestone: over one million children now living in poverty" #ThePoint thepoint.com.au/news/251212-...

After like a decade of horrific pelvic pain, a hysterectomy, then perimenopause changing my body again... I can't tell you how good it is to be enjoying sex like I did in my 20's. But way better because I'm not driven by an insane level of hormones & despair (& gender dysphoria if I'm honest).

Got a new little foster friend Parker. He is TINY, 2.5kgs. He's going to be staying with us while he heals from surgery and getting prepared for his new family (learning to be on lead, toileting outside, sleeping in a crate). We've fostered a lot and this little guy is gonna do great.

As lonely and boring December can be if you don't celebrate Christmas and avoid parties like the plague, it's still a bajillion times better than being out of your mind shopping for shit people will bin immediately. I do like cooking something on Christmas Day I would never bother to any other time.

Binged the Celebrity Traitors this weekend and it did NOT disappoint. I was literally screaming the entire final round table. I think I understand sports now.

I have finally gotten Morticia ready for long day trips. Rode to the station this morning & now on the train to Melbs & will cycle all over Melbourne & then catch vline home. I have desperately needed this level of freedom since I moved to the country 4.5 years ago. I missed being a cyclist so hard.

Started watching Heated Rivalry last night and the rumours of that guys bubble butt are 100% true and it's absolutely a master class in graphic sex scenes that doesn't show genitals. HBO schooling us yet again on how to be horny. Thank the goddess.

I’ve been rewatching The Simpsons with our middle kid and we just started season 3, the first season Conan was in the room, and the show accelerates to such an extent it feels like entering comedy hyperspace

I got a 256g SD card for my Switch.

What no one tells you about working in the public service is that you will be exposed at minimum to casual corruption... And in my case corruption at a level so staggering it's existentially torn me apart. I feel like I'm a teenager again learning how the world really works. It's completely fucked.

After 6 years of estrangement I reached out to my sister today. This has been a big step for me that I have talked about on & off in therapy for about a year. I wonder if she will want contact. I am trying to remain neutral. I would dearly love contact with her and my brother.

I've been off work 2.5 weeks and I've been so busy I'm sick of it. Got a proper job interview today and think after this I'm going to cool my jets. I want to craft! I want to go to the movies! I want to ride my bike around.

My dog Buzz used to LOVE having grass tickle his butthole to get him to poop. It was so funny, he'd run around trying to find long grass or weeds that would tickle that itch.

I had a life changing sleep last night. I guess after I had a 12 hour meltdown. I think I exorcised the last 10 months. Finally starting to feel after this whole ordeal.

Going to build a sci-fi religion around this dog, who is clearly the reincarnation of a galactic emperor.

The flaming cauldrons in Neelix's kitchen really stress me out.

Serious question. Every exercise thing I've signed up for (skate class, pickleball, yoga) eventually has me in a show down about being filmed. I do not want to be filmed or on their social media. It should just be a choice I can make, but I also have a history of DV & don't want that info out there.

Feeling for all the people who are having to be around family that makes them feel unsafe. Sending love.

Just putting it out there - you may be as shocked as I was to find out that even if you have your cervix removed you can still get CERVICAL CANCER. Thankfully I had never had HPV so I no longer need to get pap smears but truly having had female sex organs just keeps on giving.

Although I mostly find Pluribus uninteresting, I am impressed that the biggest show of the year centres a miserable areshole middle aged woman. It feels like a win for all of us 🤣🤣

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s. This is the power of vaccines. The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer. Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Two weeks since I left my job and I'm feeling less numb. I did a big bike ride yesterday which helped blow the cobwebs away. I've been so busy since I finished work I haven't had time to think. My sleep is still disturbed but hopefully that will settle soon. Man bad jobs can just wreck your life.

Regretting and not regretting doing my Criminology masters in robot industrial manslaughter.

Definitely the Soderbergh A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES with Zach Galifianakis.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

I'm so discombobulated by this job seeking process. It's been 5 years since I looked for a job. Starting over again is so daunting as a disabled person. Will I be bullied? Will I have to endure endless harms advocating for my access needs? Even just the thought of having to meet so many new people.

The reason the Steam Cube is a cube is because everyone gonna mod that thing in to either the Hellraiser Lament Configuration cube or the Portal companion cube. There are no other logical choices.

Didn't expect to ever read "felching poetry" in The Guardian. Keep it classy America.

Fuck me dead just had my first call in the quest to find a new job & it was a nightmare. I submitted my access requirements that I get the questions in advance & only one question at a time. They did not honour that at all and the guy on the phone was on speaker and typing at the same time as well 👎

For each day you go away you spend cleaning dog piss off the house 🫠 we have to wash every blanket, dog bed, our friggin CURTAINS, the rugs.

I got to sleep in bed with my dog last night 🥹 I love him so much.

Man Wise is such a fantastic product. We paid cents on every transaction in New Zealand and then I just transferred the remaining balance to my US bank account for a few bucks. If you transfer money between countries use my code for a free transaction wise.com/invite/ahpc/...

Such a wonderful holiday to Aoteroa. We planned on doing so much and did very little! Our accomodation is right on Throne Bay and has direct beach access. Lying in bed watching the sunrise over Rangitoto absolute heaven 😍 feel very relaxed and ready to go home actually.
