Welp, my oven’s dead, to add to the list of broken things.

*sad train noises* The best thing about this season is that it’s almost over.

Begging the people at the handmade markets to stop stopping in the middle of the already packed aisles and move to the side instead 😭

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!

Going to need my Summer 9s game on Tuesday (last of the season already, somehow 😢) to be in one of the earlier time slots.

Obsessed

would you still love me if i were gergerger

Begging Joe to let Holly Mac loose on this NZ defence.

What a choice to not start a single natural striker

0 points for creativity

All set

Right where he belongs

It well may be That we will never meet again In this lifetime So let me say before we part So much of me Is made of what I learned from you You'll be with me Like a handprint on my heart #wicked #hisdarkmaterials

Hello, yes, the last 20-30 minutes of Wicked pt 2 ruined me

Unexpected find

Canberra v Sydney game rescheduled for 5pm on a Wednesday… HATE

I’m already over hearing about Michigan basketball and their fans

Sometimes I just have to chuckle at the fact that I’ve found chewing tough food difficult since I was a kid (and remember mentioning it to mum at the time), but it took me until 32 to be diagnosed with TMJD. Like, one of the disks in my jaw straight up doesn’t move back into place anymore

Twisty

Bring back Eureka

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.

A $1 refund from the tax office feels hilariously insulting

Sydney FC's #ALW game against Canberra has also now been postponed due to international call-ups. The only game that will now be taking place this weekend is Melbourne Victory vs Perth Glory on Sunday afternoon. Personally, I'd be postponing that as well now, but it is what it is.

And in a surprise to no one, Canberra’s game against Sydney has been postponed a whopping 3 days before kickoff. That means our next home game is against Melbourne City (scary, but also, Holly Mac in person!!!!!)

lol, just realised my household is all Cancers. Fiyero and I are both July 7, and Lyra’s June 25.

Over $13,000 taken off my HECS debt Down to $50k :’)

Me, organising my leave in March/April around March Madness and the Women’s Asian Cup grand final?

If it looks like this, please feel free to keep it.

A third infant in Kentucky has died of whooping cough this year. Reminder: The best way to protect against whooping cough is to get vaccinated. Adults should get a Tdap booster every 10 years, so please check, you may be overdue!

"Could the AFC Women's Asian Cup bring Matildas stars back to the A-Leagues?" Probably professionalise the game first, then we can talk. #ALW

Michelle Heyman has some thoughts on the dub being played during the international window

WFH lunch break, time to tell two raccoons to get fucked with those turnip prices.

1 month to Christmas??

People who pirate books: “I just think art and literature should be FREE to everyone!” Yes, I too would love to live in a world where art is accessible freely to all and yet artists are paid a living wage, but as this magical wagical pixie wixie land does not exist, please don’t steal from us.

Reminder that the vast majority of indie artists/super small businesses cannot afford to discount their work for Black Friday/Small Business Saturday/Cyber Monday. Do not complain about it. Buy from them anyway!

I'd never heard of this site until tonight. Both my books are on there. Did you know my publisher offers one of three lowest royalty rates in the entire industry? And that I didn't get an advance? Literally all I make is from royalties. Royalties I don't earn when you pirate my book.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

no it isn’t!!! fuck you!!!

This is Lyra’s fault (she showed him how to do it)

Kitten fell asleep on me, so I got some prime claw clipping time 😈

It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?

No games should be played during the international break, buuut, if they have to, I’m glad we’re playing Sydney.

I should get my car back next Friday 🙏🏼😭

… it’s exactly 5km from my place to McKellar Park. Guess I’ll try running it one day.
