I love the Gibson posts - she is such a character.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I’m glad you guys like them. Wish I could post short clips. She’s quite animated lol

Goodnight everyone, sleep tight. 💖

Oi, whachu lookin at
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Jimmy unimpressed with you.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I get that a lot…
Eagle@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Jimmy looks like he could rough you up.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Jimmy two-tone
Look at that face. He’s telling you to stop messing around and think of your future
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Today has been a rough one. Melbcat guarded me while I sat in the shower and then curled up in my dressing gown with me to share a nap.
I don’t understand how people think cats are cold or aloof
Taleya@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Cats are neither cold nor aloof, they just don’t obsessively crave human approval.
It’s invariably self-identified ‘dog people’ who talk shit about cats. And tbh the way they do makes me think they shouldn’t have dogs either
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Hugs. I have never known cats to be aloof, they are just picky in wh they care for
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Pizza in oven. Beer in hand…planning to watch the game here at home and maybe potter around cleaning in between quarters.
I did want to go down to the local for the atmosphere but damn I am in pretty urgent need of introvert time. Went out this morning and managed to lose my favourite shopping bags on the bus among other brainfog disasters. Internet friends could someone tell me that’s ok to stay here on my own and it doesn’t make me a loser?
StudChud@aussie.zone 7 months ago
You are not a loser at all! I dislike going to the pub for GF, too loud, too many people, too chaotic. Then it gets rowdy.
It is acceptable and 100% reasonable and okay to stay home!!
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I’m doing alone time as well.
Busy week coming up, so I’m introverting in advance knowing that it’s not going to stop for about the next eight days once it starts. I feel okay with this
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
it’s cool to watch the game and chill at home in your own way ,
verdict; not a loser
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I was invited to a house party but have chosen to stay home with the dog and do washing and I’m not a loser so neither are you.
I’m sad about your bags. I’ve had that happen to me and I cried.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Oh I am devastated! That’s the problem with not being a shopaholic. Everything I own is special.
Thanks mate. Just had a moment of mind worms. All good now
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I think it’s fine to watch from home. I don’t really understand the appeal of going to watch the game somewhere unless you’re meeting people there.
Enjoy the comfort of your own home and the ability to do things for yourself whilst there
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Thanks. It’s sunny and quiet here
Duenan@aussie.zone 7 months ago
It is more than perfectly ok to stay and watch the game alone.
Nothing about it makes you a loser.
Im doing the same thing as I’ve done most years and I’m perfectly happy doing it.
Just enjoy yourself and the peace and quiet or if you barrack for them scream as loud as you want.
It’s your right to do so and not to feel bad about it.
Do not feel bad because there’s nothing wrong with doing it!
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 7 months ago

Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 7 months ago
You’re the only one who gives a shit so you do you
oztrin@aussie.zone 7 months ago
As an ME/CFS long hauler, I speak from my own experience in strongly suspecting that with that amount of brain fog, if you went down the local you’d be hiding in the loo to get away from the noise by the first goal.
Better to stay home and enjoy than go out and not enjoy.imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 7 months ago
This is very true. I have been wanting more social interaction lately but I have also been unwell and brain body just saying ‘no’. Thanks.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Had a radox bath last night but the liquid stuff. Turned into a bubble bath which I didn’t think would happen. last time I had one of those I would’ve been 5yo or so. 10/10. Now in the market for some little yellow rubber ducks to round out the experience.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I buy Epsom salts regularly and then use a tiny bit of body wash to make bubbles.
So good!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Surely there’s a rave choon out there for the duckies.

My neighbour started his Harley at 6am this morning. It’s like starting a chainsaw at that time - you don’t do it. Took me a while to fall back asleep and now I’m tired and grumpy.
Taleya@aussie.zone 7 months ago
To quote a certain someone “oh look. It’s a cunt riding a fart”

a rant about insecurities
I need to block a subreddit, because I feel called out lol. r/crappymusic, because the commenters just hate when people express themselves. Humans make music, idk what makes it crappy. I don’t make music of course, but I write, and I feel all my insecurities are heightened when I see those negative jerks shitting on people enjoying themselves on stage. Idk, I was considering putting some of my poetry to music or a beat, and maybe consider doing like, beat poetry - because I so desperately admire the people who do that - but I feel so stupid even considering it when I’m afraid of being utterly rejected. I suppose I need to work on my confidence and forget what people may think, but it’s hard to let go of all the voices that tell me that I’m already a failure. I probably just need to delete fucking Reddit too sigh
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I reckon Reddit works if you’re very purposeful in your curation. My feed is mostly cats, book discussions and recommendations, crochet, and so on. Fuck the mean people, seek out the nice spaces.
Your work sounds amazing. Have you checked out Australian Poetry Slam? That could be a way in with supportive, like-minded people.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Join the delete Reddit squad (but still add Reddit at the end of almost every Google search)!
What makes music crappy anyway? At my work, they played a live version of a Foo Fighters song over the speakers and a customer said it sounded terrible. But the crowd went wild! It’s all about taste at the end of the day.
You’ve got this! Go out there and express yourself, and most importantly, have fun. That’s the main bit. You are HOTTOGO!! <3
StudChud@aussie.zone 7 months ago
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Yeah reddit be judgy. Sounds like you want to get in with like minded people.
There used to be poetry slams many years ago at the Drunken Poet, dunno if that’s still going. It seemed friendly enough.
Just a heads up though that I did stop going because of some old dude making inappropriate comments. So like… check it out if you want and if it sucks the bricks
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Yes the Poet still does those!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
it sounds like a place where mean people go , so don’t go there :)
hugs
me, i do not care one jot if randos do not like my stuff , i do care if they try to stop me or impede me, I suppose destroying a good mood is in a way impeding me, defining me is impeding me
what matters is what my loved ones and my friends say, and this friend says expressing yourself is a beautiful thing 😘
and more hugs, it seems moving past negative voices in one’s head is a life long task 😫
StudChud@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Thank you Sea, I really appreciate your compassion and understanding 😭 you are the gem of the dt
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 7 months ago

It’s pretty good

Challah goes MAD with salt & vinegar thins jsyk
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
brain stuck, not sure what to do
think I’ll just put a few things away, put away another load pf clean washing and so the rest of the dishes
tone212_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Back neighbours’ party has been going since before the GF started. They’ve descended into drunken scream singing, add some screaming kids to the mix, it’s so loud. Got my massive speaker going to drown them out.
I need to throw my own loud revenge party.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 7 months ago
SORRY BOUT THAT. I DO LOVE A SING ALONG.

Pity it’s due to rain, 9am garden shredder on the fence line is my usual go to
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I hate it when I’m buying something and don’t realise it’s in US dollars until checkout and I have to re-evaluate the value of everything I’m buying.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Not even worried… Swans got this…

What a beautiful day. Finally feel like spring is here properly.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 7 months ago
$8 for a soy cappuccino, well fuck you too Perth airport. But I’m the sucker who paid it so can’t complain can I.
Developed a bit of a sore throat after talking myself hoarse to a friend yesterday, I shall be drowning it in the requisite throat lozenges + meds + hot water and honey when I get back because I’ll be fucked if I get the flu again…
wscholermann@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I feel like at some point Australia has become a very soulless country of paying off a mortgage and that’s about it.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Apologies to all football fans, I may have made a comment around the end of the first quarter about it being good to have a close match, which was apparently the Swans’ cue to completely stop trying.
I was pleased with the symmetry of the scores though, with the Lions’ goals and points both being exactly double the Swans, also everything being a multiple of three suits my numerical preferences.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Home now and hungry as. My aunt lovingly packed some leftovers for me but I definitely need more. Maybe with the money I saved on uber (and not touching on…) I could indulge in takeaway… or maybe not, I’ll have that as an option for tomorrow instead. I could throw in some air fried frozen fish to bulk out tonight’s meal instead. Tonight is time to just blob out and watch TV and relax, tomorrow I have to get back on the academic horse.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Wow Sydney.
I think I know where the Colliwobbles went. Grundy must have taken them with him
just_kitten@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Just landed on the tarmac but I have checked bags to wait for as well… Likelihood of avoiding footy crowds if I take the Skybus and tram seems low if the game’ll be over by 5…
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Went out for some sun before the game starts.
I returned with
- new hot sauce. This makes four distinct varieties currently in my pantry
- new tea. Eighteen distinct varieties
- vanilla choc top to counter the effects of the hot sauce tasting session
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Nothing on abc news about Tom Petty, but Dame Maggie Smith has died.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Sooo who are we rooting for today gang? I won a Swans mohawk hat thing at a work bingo so I’m going Swans

Eating a mysterious indeterminate purple icypole. What flavour is this?
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 7 months ago
The post-game stuff always gets me. Chris Fagen hugging Leigh Matthews had me in tears.
Several glasses of wine probably helps.

Hooked on this song. Soon as I heard it last week I could t stop listening.

And what grand final snacks do we have planned? I’m doing a nice cheese platter.

cat in a window
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I quite liked the cat near me last Halloween, that would often be seen snoozing in the window behind the bloody handprints on the glass.
