is there a single writing/editing jorb in qld that isn't for either a mining company or "defence"? it seems like the answer is no, but hell if i'm going to do any amount of work for either of those

Tag yourself, I'm macaroni camp style

People have been through worse and gotten back on their feet, lieutenant double-yefreitor.

BDS is good & all, but I do worry about how the pendulum has swung towards hassling fellow consumers for consuming unethically instead of remembering, yk...no ethical consumption under capitalism

Also how great is this 🙄 Pathetic, pathetic, this country is pathetic. Love living in QLD, Australi, where a 15 year old can be jailed as an adult but can't post on Instagram. So good.

So I really should be getting ready for work, but I have to quickly yell about The Ringer, in this dumb article of the top 100 TV episodes in the past century, vindicating what I've been saying since forever: 'The Constant', from Lost, is one of the best fuckin episodes of anything I've ever seen

Excellent thread 👌

In other news: I continue to be Correct about Music (tho not correct about platform for listening to it; I am working on it!!)

Thank you for sharing this wonderful opinion on human sexuality.

Gotta stop hiding from my emails/responsibilities with baking... on the other hand I made some banging melonpan today

The only thing worse than flash fiction is flash non-fiction. Madre de dios.

Absolutely horrific

Stopping for a moonlit drink

I'm playing Citizen Sleeper at long last & surprising no one... I kind of love this p.o.s.

allegiance always to the pornographers and the freaks. consider making a call to mastercard, visa etc in the run-up to big spending season, more info about how to do this at the link

We're excited to announce that the Frosty Mini showcase will premiere on December 10 starting at 8am AEDT / 10am NZDT (that's December 9, 1pm PT for our USA friends)! Tune in for exciting news and surprise announcements from 20+ of the coolest games made in Australia and Aotearoa NZ.

Oh Lordt

This reminds me of the one (1) good moment at our last concert & Brisbane's weird corporate Pride festival, as we were waiting to go on, when [insert local politician here] started banging on about how much they love the LGBT community--

Vibes bad so far this morning but trans twink in pink alpha male tshirt healing me. Thanks for your service

Relatedly, cosplay seems largely unchanged. Still a bunch of One Piece, Organisation XIII (still? in this economy?). More premade stuff maybe, & more comics? I've seen at least two excellent Robins so far 👌 Glad my boy is getting the appreciation he deserves (applies to all Robins & post-Robins!)

Walking past the convention centre this weekend makin me real nostalgic for the days when I was a weeb teen who got excited about things

I don't think I've ever heard anything less relevant to any investigation.

So looks like I will probably be continuing my track record of never keeping a job for more than 2 years 😂

No Noise November. everybody shut up

Genuinely thought this was a cover in support of Mamdani for a while there, because it looks so boss

The developers of Windows 95 look like a grunge band

Okay, fine. Go ahead. If you want to look like a walking mid-life crisis, then who am I to interfere?

Today's highlight so far: crossed in front of an aggressive car & told the folks waiting on the other side, "Pedestrians do have right of way, you know," to which one responded: "Yes! Thank you for enforcing it!" Me: "I mean, I'll get run down one day--" Them: "Oh, me too!"

This one is so real. Also important to note the coffee takes 20 minutes to make, but is fucking incredible.

Happy Halloween to Heidi Klum's worm costume from a few years ago and Heidi Klum's worm costume ONLY

Windows 98 Plus: Mystery screensaver

You wouldn't download a computer.

If by 'special' you mean 'marred by extreme dysfunction,' then yes, I suppose it is pretty special.

chrIST the increased acne part of t combined with the sudden HEAT here is hellish!! make it stop!

s/o to the neighbour who is constantly blazing it in such a way that the fumes float into our study... very cheap, risk-free way for me to relax a little as I tackle the email backlog 👍

i hate how good this waxahatchee (& some boring sounding dude called kevin morby) cover of 'you found me' is. so embarrassing. kevin dude is cringe earnest but waxahatchee is SO GOOD and the harmonies are banging;;

And what has the necktie been telling you, if I may ask?

These very true words from Steve Hely have given me tremendous comfort over the years.

psa to litfic writers attempting gritty, realistic prose: writing gratuitously and graphically about piss, shit, semen, pus, [insert bodily fluid here]—does not make your prose gritty and realistic just grotty. it makes it real fuckin grotty.

Good Morning, World.

i know this is one of those things you shouldn't say but as bad as my writing can be it's still a lot better than a lot of people who think they can write, hey

Vika WIP #sevika #arcane

Right. Okay. Anyway, I'm glad you told me your necktie has been speaking to you. That must not have been easy.

I do like the way it tingles, though. It's the only part of shaving I actually look forward to.

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

OK so I'm slowly watching Mob Psycho, my first anime watch since I moved back from Japan (lol), and Netflix keeps teasing me with a content warning for self-injury, and I just??? what??? how??? but most importantly: WHEN?
