If I had a dollar for every time I'd helped an autistic person find out they'd been secretly diagnosed with and treated for BPD I'd have $2. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

Since the powers that be are sleeping on this I'm doing my part by making sure my mates know that my cricket bat and I are ready to decommission any hands any man lays on them so he can never do it again I figure I paid my dues as a survivor and we have to look after ourselves out here

The structural integrity of the Squishwall has failed again I said "I need to get a hammock for my Squishmallows" My SO responded "I need to get a hammock for my baaaaaaaalls" and left the room Devastated

Just gonna quietly shadowban people to preserve the ✨ ATmosphere ✨ because AI moderation sucks at nuance and we hate our early adopters Hey chat can you get whiplash from cringe

Why doesn't kibble for humans exist yet I don't need enrichment, I need nutrient-dense crunchies

It's wild to me that media & public coverage of this legitimate attempted bombing has been so pissweak, compared to the collective conniptions when anything happens in the eastern states. Australia doesn't give a fuck about Perth/WA or First Nations people. #AusPol www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article...

He is the treasurer who should be known for signing the death warrants of the disabled people who will die because of $36 billion in NDIS cuts. That’s his ~idea of Australia~ What a clever sleight of hand to distract everyone with a few billion worth of CGT changes.

I would watch tf out of this sitcom

Flashbacks to playing Twisted Metal every time the ice cream truck goes full Doppler effect past my house

You can check out CHL's 2025 annual report and financials here. There's a bit in it about how they're reviewing the WA portfolio to extend the life of assets & improve support 😂 can confirm they've fixed a lot of illegal shit they were doing, but still do others. chl.org.au/wp-content/u...

Oh, also, CHL's finance team is reluctant to fund urgent catch-up reactive maintenance arising from failure to carry out life cycle & other maintenance because they're up to their eyeballs in new projects with not enough staff competent enough to manage the project load. But nobody regulates this.

Since Jan 2026 CHL's new State Operations Manager, former WA Housing Authority manager, has been trying everything to get my house fixed or redeveloped or us moved to a habitable property. She left WA gov because of these failures that persist to this day. Gov won't fund anything despite obligation.

The culture is still fetid at the WA Department of Housing and Works (there has been a reshuffle separating the MegaDepartment of Communities for obvious reasons). I've reported contractor fraud at my property & the ministerial office refused to act. www.governmentnews.com.au/management-s...

This contractor's fraud was discovered during the investigation of fraud by an executive-level bureaucrat in the WA Housing Authority. There have also been others. www.watoday.com.au/national/wes...

ACHL is a subsidiary of CHL, the non-profit the WA government paid to neglect my house in suburban Perth into being uninhabitable. This year CHL finally replaced their entire maintenance crew due to years of misconduct after my strenuous complaints. WA gov's remote contractor got convicted of fraud.

The fearmongering on this tax reform has been absurd, and social media is cancer. Stop listening to punters with vested interests who have no idea how tax systems work. #AusPol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

It's embarrassing (for them) how often people find out I didn't see/otherwise experience a classic childhood/adolescent thing & go "omg you haven't SEEN it?!", get a bit weird about it, maybe take the piss a bit so I'm like "yeah I had to sleep outdoors so... you know" Calm down sometimes, chat

“Poverty doesn’t just impact health. It signs death certificates.” Read @artistaffame.bsky.social's speech from @apnsa.bsky.social's budget response rally at SA parliament May 13

Amazing. Imagine being one of these men. It must make one feel giddy to hold so much power and be so very important that you get fuck all consequence for doing this simply because you're the only shrink out there. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Hi my name is Fred and I'm a piece of shit

Can't hang out laundry when the cat is outside because he hunts me the whole time and tries to kill me, it's just nerve-wracking

Labrador boyfriend running around the back yard with the cat who thinks he's a dog, this is life goals

Place your bets on what's got the zoomies in my wall/roof at 2am for the last 3 nights Contenders: - rat - possum - secret 3rd thing, possibly a cryptid

My toxic trait is almost dropping something and trying to catch it at the same time which often startles me and sends whatever it is flying across the room

Another day, another man allegedly murdering his entire family. We'll be seeing more of this as the federal government moves to kick kids with "developmental delays" off the #NDIS onto state programs that don't even exist yet. #AusPol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Not mentioned, for some reason, is that indefinite detention is also unlawful. If accused parties' matters don't progress they can't be remanded while awaiting representation if the period of detention would exceed any available sentence upon conviction. #AusPol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Just got earwormed by my IBS guts making sounds like the pewpewpew bit from 1990 party classic Groove is in the Heart by Deee-Lite

My SO has been asking Fred if he wants a brother so cat distribution system if you're listening please send Fred a brother

I am inside my private standalone house My neighbour is inside his private standalone house Why can I hear him from inside my private standalone house walking heavily on his stairs inside his private standalone house How dare he exist perceptibly

I love the Fairbairn boys, go watch their video linked in the article. It's a perfectly succinct summary of why Labor is a pack of virtue signalling class traitor circlejerkers with this grandfathered shit #AusPol #AusBudget2026 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Why do they never look at tools like this that would err on the side of benefiting punters rather than fucking them? Give us a tool that prepares a successful claim for DSP so disabled people can get off jobseeker, you mongrels. #AusPol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

TERFs STFU and die mad www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

I was informed today at 38 years old that it's not actually normal for ambient sunlight to make your eyeballs hurt like the dickens and I've just been living like this since childhood

It's absurd that we must rely on private corporations to maintain supply of essentials necessary to survive, like food, and that so often they engage in profiteering unchecked. #AusPol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

I sent an emiritus professor an email thanking him for his work on administrative law specifically around robodebt because it had helped me not only defend my own case but also contribute to dismantling the whole unlawful scheme. He was absolutely delighted & said academics aren't used to fan mail 😂

The inherent ableism in our system, meanwhile the racists keep spinning the myth that migrants "steal our jobs" and "leech our welfare" #AusPol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Wherein ABC fails to mention there's a major hospital an equal distance away to the major shopping centre from where she was dumped in broad daylight on a busy cafe strip. What the fuck www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Are there any writers here that have used the ACF (Australian Cultural Fund) platform, as an individual? How does it compare to other crowdfund platforms? Is it more productive than arts grant applications?

AuDHD labrador husband finds me quietly drinking coffee and reading the news to show me how his back makes fart sounds on the hardwood floor when he does sit ups and we're both cry laughing at it

Trying to be responsible, I bought the long life pouch of soup on special instead of the fresh soup at twice the price. Never again. I just got tricked into eating baby food. Fuck you, expensive fresh food.

I love cats so much it's frightening
