It took like 15 years, but my web host for my personal sites (1 WP, 3 static HTML, 1 Python/Django site I was just messing around with for kicks, 2 mailboxes) is no longer a good deal. I'm leaning towards VentraIP, but I'm interested in any other Australian-based options that are easy to manage […]

My lil shipping zine 1/2

mastodon.cloud is an abandoned server with open sign-ups, meaning that it's an easily exploited home for spammers etc. they're now limited from blorbo.social. we'll probably suspend at some point, because it seems like the admins aren't coming back. if you follow any accounts on mastodon.cloud […]

Fuuaark that is one hell of a storm #sydneyweathertooting

That Dark Ties ending tore my heart out. Excellent, just what I was hoping for, A+++

Things have finally settled down so I'm going to do fandom5k this year, pity it's the last one! Pls nominate your blorbos if we share fandoms and maybe you want a comic. https://fandom5k.dreamwidth.org/83233.html

My months of chaos gardening to figure out what works in the garden were well spent after all! I'm still glad I typed "quail egg" into the MakerWorld search when J asked me if I wanted anything printed. #gardeningau

I have to fill in an online form which asks for your ethnicity (basically the list the Australian Bureau of Statistics uses), but you can only pick one. I've been told to pick the one which I feel best applies. How do I tell my parents about this 😆

Elden Ring at the Sydney Opera House tonight. I'm definitely a fake Elden Ring fan but it was still a very good time!

Melbourne friends, you're getting 4 Final Fantasy X concerts in July! That seems like a lot, but hey, there it is. https://www.ffdistantworlds.com/concert/melbourne2026-23 #ffx

Eeeek I moved a coleus round the back this morning so I can repot it, but our resident teddy bear bee just came to the front door looking for it. I'm sorry buddy.... it's not that far away.... #gardeningau

What a beautiful sunset #sydneyweathertooting

I scored a ticket to the #ateez pop-up shop and am heading off there now to see if I can buy a light stick and perhaps some other merch. For anyone else in Melbourne who might be interested: https://events.humanitix.com/ateez-2026-world-tour-in-your-fantasy-melbourne-official-pop-up Tickets […]

A survey on readers' experiences reading wuxia (especially Jin Yong's works) in English: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/arts/reading-chinese-wuxia-fiction-in-english The researcher is a PhD student who says he's having trouble finding enough people to contribute, so let's help him out […]

Volunteering at the usual stand at the #sydneymardigras Fair Day tomorrow. We're near the bar and will be maintaining the paddle pool for doggos as a public service 🥰

Sure is raining out there. #sydneyweathertooting

This month has been trying in many ways but look at my lil baby watermelon!! #gardeningau

A handful of tomatoes from the compost volunteers I planted in Spring! The heatwave and wrong pH has killed this section of the patch so I'll have to rebuild and replant it, but at least these were tasty. #gardeningau

[Food, not vegan] I haven't made adobo in a while and we had company over, so I went all out tonight. The kids hoovered it up which is the ultimate compliment!

Fuark it's hot this week. But I've finally grown a very legit sunflower and cosmos in the new garden beds! #gardeningau #sydneyweathertooting

I will ask chat GPT I will boil the last of our drinking water Salt the soil of the scrub-lands Tear the pages from books and feed them to my fire I will ask copilot I will scramble your library maim the faces of your favorite paintings I will bury you in poor copies of your dreams I will ask […]

Quick Cao Cao doodle tonight, because playing lots and lots of Dynasty Warriors: Origins has definitely gotten me through this month

J and I went on a behind the scenes historical tour of White Bay Power Station today! The MHNSW tour guides were excellent and there is so much interesting (and sad) history in this building. I took a ton of photos, might dump more of them on Pixelfed later.

Ooherrrr someone at Woolworths IT is getting a call. I assume it's DNS.

I need to go harvest a cabbage from the garden so we can make okonomiyaki tonight but that means getting back up... aaa. Here's a cute lizard I met near the brassica patch earlier

Sorry(?) all. I caused the outage by ordering a non-amazon doorbell last night

Having a mountainously good time on this road trip so far. We're doing so many things, but I feel like this is just how J and I travel

Aaahhh it finally came together. I'll have 5 new zines tomorrow by me and the kids, plus a bunch of comics, anthologies and artbooks from my backlog! (And several from ex-Hayase peeps since it's on theme.) See you at the Parramatta Zine Fair tomorrow 🥰 www.schoolofzines.com.au/parramatta-z...

Sexy froggy leggy

Some nice spring #bloomscrolling from the garden in the past week or so. #gardeningau

It's official, I'm a stallholder at the Parramatta Zine Fair this month! Now I have to go find all of my old stock aaahaha... but I'll have (18+ BL) comics and food zines and possibly a new gardening zine! https://www.schoolofzines.com.au/parramatta-zine-fair-2025 The stallholder list is […]

We tried something a bit different for Science Week this year and headed to Mount Annan Botanic Garden with @leenabeans.bsky.social. Had fun talking to scientists and doing some science together and got some really cool freebies, some of which are already in our garden 🌱

I found a smol friend on the side of the green bin while I was gardening today, so I put them back in the hedge #gardeningau

Outdoor and indoor garden things

Aahh I need to plant my bare root roses.... If I dig the holes soon at least the rain will fill them up with water for me #sydneyweathertooting

I rehabbed my poor rusty Felco 4 today! The thumb catch screw took a beating when I undid it, but it still works fine. If someone puts a tool sharpening minigame in their farming/garden game I'll be there 👀

prove me wrong, medication names are all vintage Dr Who aliens, divided into: - friendly: Twynstra, Cymbalta - savage, villainous: Irbesartan, Effexor - cryptic, stand-offish, uncertain whether evil till Doctor dangling off a cliff: Propranolol, Esomaprazole - wears a copper-chainmail monokini…

Who the hell called it AI Animation instead of Slop Motion

Went for a nice little walk on a #glorioussydney day before the um, weather arrives this week. Spotted a couple of raptors :D

I neglected this rose all year, then I pruned it 6 weeks ago and it's burst into bloom again! Haven't had much luck IDing it but I'll try to propagate some cuttings this winter. #gardeningau

Elizabeth Farm last night / Cronulla Beach today

If I were queen I'd make dreamwidth hide community posts from users you've blocked.

Had a great time at day 1 of Sinpozium today! I can't believe the last in-person event was 8 years ago :blobcateyes: Hopefully I've convinced a few people to try out fedi with my talk, and looking forward to day 2!

First day of the long weekend and pumped for Sinpozium tomorrow + Sunday! Rewarding myself with MFG fanart finally

Finishing off the atchara this morning! Just waiting for the pickle liquid to cool down a bit. My dad grew the papaya and I bought the capsicum from an Easter Show district exhibit, so it feels a bit special :blobOwO:
