OMG THE PAWS 😍🥰
StudChud@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I love kissing them. I know I shouldn’t, but he always starts purring and kneading when I do.
I have discovered he also enjoys it when I give his belly kisses. Hands are for kicking when touching the belly, but my face is what he wants apparently.
Not happy when I blow raspberries tho heheheh
bacon@aussie.zone 6 months ago
i love how he hugs back
StudChud@aussie.zone 6 months ago
He was dream-hunting in the last pic, completely zonked out and twitching. I think his dream-hunting was ultimately successful 😂

How is it almost 3pm. Fuuuuuck
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Lazy Sundays are fluffybutt approved.
Which is good because I just woke up from a two hour nap.

Great turnout at the rally today. I love going to these every week, its overstimulating as hell a bit but I feel completely safe in the crowd. All the singing and dancing and kind faces.
I feel less safe around guns which the cops were running around flaunting but hey, can’t have everything.
StudChud@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I dislike you have been down voted. We are allowed to protest here, and as long as you’re not a Nazi, I have no issue with it.
I also don’t understand what protesting in Melbourne is going to do for the Palestinians. Aus isn’t the big manufacturer of weapons being sent to Israel or Palestine. I’m not saying you should t go, I just don’t get what it is trying to achieve here.
I get protesting in Britain, since they sort of set this up historically, but also wars and conflict over the holy land have been ongoing since, like, before Jesus. So. What does Australia have to do with this?
I do think there are way more relevant issues to protest - such as the rise of Nazis, cost of living, price gouging, and housing affordability, and the rights of First Nations.
I do not agree with either side, I dont want innocent people to be used as collateral damage.
But again, what will protesting the war do here, in Australia, in Melbourne?
Not trying to start a fight, I just don’t understand the goals.
Aradina@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
The Palestinian struggle mirrors the struggle against colonialism in our country. That’s why the protests always include chants of “always was always will be”. Colonialism is a worldwide system after all, its not just in Palestine or Australia. It’s the same struggle everywhere, and we need to fight it everywhere if we want it gone to the dustbin of history where it belongs alongside all other forms of racism.
Our government also does have the ability to pressure other governments. We have the ability to change things and improve things despite being a middle power. Even just condemning the genocide would be a massive move that could change things, it could encourage other countries to condemn it and stop exporting products that help it along.
Those other issues are issues and we should be rallying about those too. Someone just has to organise and lead it. On the Nazis, these rallies are anti-nazi too. The groups involved are broad leftist groups who are very much against Nazism and everything it stands for, like colonialism.
On top of that is just solidarity. If even one photo of the rally makes it to someone having a hard time in Palestine or Lebanon or wherever else and maybe improves their day, then every rally will have been worth it. I want it to be known that despite being on the other side of the world, I care.
“An injury to one is an injury to all.” Is something I take very seriously. As long as there are oppressed people out there, none of us are free.
Also the benefit of my account being on Lemmy.ml is that down votes don’t federate between instances so idk how many people downvote me, I only see one or two.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Imagine if our Governor General and Prime Minister were murdered and a religiously motivated gang took over.
Lebanon deserves a democratically elected government, not a corrupt gang.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Flaunting?
Oh boy.
Aradina@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
Guns are a thing you can’t really wear without flaunting.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Brandishing?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Imagine having 10,000 missiles launched at Melbourne. That would be terrifying.

There is physical health, and there is mental health. When you think about it, nearly all foods fall into one or the other category. Health is health.
bacon@aussie.zone 6 months ago
that is two food groups, is healthy

Do not be tempted by the green apple candles at IKEA. They smell like burning plastic when lit.

Synthetic shitty candles are a recipe for scent-induced headaches 🤮

Never light them. Stick them in a window sill in full sun to melt

Happy Daylight Savings to all who celebrate 🍾
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
it is? If I didn’t have a mechanical wall clock then I wouldn’t even have known
indisin@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Betting the oven, microwave etc will never even know too

Just back from the Pharaoh. Amazing exhibition. How they did stonework like that is mindboggling. Seeing it up close was awesome.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I would like to take a moment to claim credit for my forebears work.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 months ago
They did good :) was crazy to see just how accurate they were. I have two sheds full of modern tools and I couldn’t 1/100 of that.
mayo@lemmy.world 6 months ago
That feels good!
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 6 months ago
At the NGV? I was tossing up going to this.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Yep NGV. They did it really well.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Apparently I needed almost 14 hours of sleep. Feel fucking amazing though lol
Duenan@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Currently fighting off an emerging migraine. Taken panadol and nurofen.
Now all I’ve got left is to pray and maybe a heat pack on my neck/shoulders and maybe a coffee.
🙏
just_kitten@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Hope you’re feeling better. Migraine not a great way to spend a Sunday…
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 6 months ago
TIL that woolys will replace your shopping bag free of charge even if it’s slightly damaged or stainedz

Don’t dead open inside 😎 🌷 🌊

An hour, STOLEN
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 6 months ago
It’s not stolen, it’s a compulsory savings scheme. It does suck there is no interest paid.

Unless we finally get to live on this time all of the time.

You can get it back in about 6 months if you try and stay alive or move to QLD?

We have now entered capitalist time
Baku@aussie.zone 6 months ago
New pastime: leaving brutally honest feedback when companies spam you with feedback demands. Just rant at them about the unethicalness of their business models, and outline how their entire existence is essentially predicated on exploiting people in crappy circumstances.
They conveniently disappear if you leave your email :)
indisin@aussie.zone 6 months ago
You could totally automate that with a bit of dev (serverless with AI).
Question for you, market research for me: How much would you pay for that kind of service? Is it a million dollars a month? Please say yes, I want to retire.
bacon@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Hi Team! You must all be feeling relaxed and refreshed after today’s meaningful volunteering opportunity. As the kids say, touch grass. As a big family we look after your mental health. Doing yard work for the CEO’s parents benefits all stakeholders. Now please enjoy the rest of your relaxing weekend, remember to complete your optional upskill module due tomorrow before work starts. I look forward to seeing everyone’s smiles at tomorrow’s breakfast meeting!
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I for one am honoured to be working for our overlords at Hamazon.
bacon@aussie.zone 6 months ago
We are proud to be the top organic breakfast ham slices and artificial intelligent ham radio producer in the world.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Do we get a pizza and a coke?
bacon@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Coffee with complimentary milk and sugar.
StudChud@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I’m touching grass and it is blissful
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 6 months ago
It’s a shame cinnamon toothpaste is much less common than mint. Like a couple of options exist, but I don’t buy because they either lack fluoride (Grants), are way overpriced (HiSmile, Marvis) or are a hassle to buy from somewhere other than a supermarket.
If there were basic fluoride cinnamon tubes at Colesworth though I’d probably give it a go.
Unflavoured toothpaste with fluoride would also be a good thing to have.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I’d like more cinnamon stuff in general. Seems an underutilised flavour in Australia. Fireball is too sweet for me.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I agree. There were these tins of sugar free mints in cinnamon but those seem to have been discontinued. Big Red gum also doesn’t seem to be around anymore
Baku@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I’ve learnt from years gone past, and went to sleep at 1:33. There’s no better way to make me freak out then forgetting DST is happening and getting absorbed into a 20 minute YouTube video at 1:45 intending to sleep as soon as it finishes, and then it being 3:05!
On the plus side though, sunset is 7:30 tonight!
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Fire alarm. How nice
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
okay, I’m pooped
that’s the sewing machine base derusted, cleaned, primed and painted. Looks great. I’m only doing one coat.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 months ago
You are incredibly motivated! I’m still working on making breakfast lol
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Been to gym. Now I need lunch. Sushi or borek?
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Sushi? What did you end up getting?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I’ve been experimenting with dishwashing tablets for a while now and I’ll tell you my favourite tip of all time. I place one on top of my drains and let it naturally dissolve. Reason for this is old drains can get a bit stinky over time and this is the most easiest why to solve this and also maintain fresh smelling drains.
I use solid tablets. I have never used the liquidy ones.
bacon@aussie.zone 6 months ago
read first two lines, instructions unclear, took one with coffee, seeing bright tunnel
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Embrace the light (refreshments) for all eternity
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 months ago
That’ll clean you out and leave you sparkling.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Sunday roast is on.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I think I’m going to need extra coffee to get through today. I feel like I lost an hour’s sleep last night.
bacon@aussie.zone 6 months ago
What happens if I set my phone alarm to 2:01 tonight. Time to find out.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I want to go nuts at Bunnings but am so limited by my body and environment.
I’m trying to make the best of being stuck here but it’s really taking a toll on my mental health. (Unfortunately anywhere else I move is likely to be worse or I may never be able to move at all)
bacon@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Service Sunday is here! Join the optional company gardening team and serve the Board of Directors’ elderly relatives! At our company we are always family first!

It turns out eggplant and tahini dip is delicious with baked beans
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Alright I’m done.
The set is practiced and recorded. Time for some gigs again. I’ve got 20 mins worth of songs which is plenty.
Plus now I have a demo reel for band auditions which I’m going to get back into next week.
Ah man. I’m really looking forward to this. I’ve missed it so much.
Have a great night everyone ❤️

tombruzzo@aussie.zone 6 months ago
That’s awesome. Be sure to share a bandcamp or something soon. I’ve plotted some things out but I need to find the time to properly record them and try put something out
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 months ago
If you need a hand let me know man. I’ve been doing this for a very long time and am happy to help 🙂
