I get a bite and a hiss . Tomorrow Ted will be held down by the vet while I brush out his knots. I have kevlar gloves.

Anytime! My camera roll is just pictures of Mickey and screenshots of ptv timetables 😅

oh my god I would die for those crossed paws. And that “heheh” look with the slanted eyes and uplifted mouth
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
He just sleeps like that when it gets a bit warm, he always does a little “rah rah” to say hello when we walk past, and will roll over he gets his belly kisses. So spoiled… I brush him and fur just keeps coming and coming. I wonder if he is a medium haired cat, rather than a short haired one 😂
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
He looks like he’s having a giggle
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
He certainly was having a great time munching my knees today, when I was wearing just my boxers 😭 he’s very pleased with himself I think

I’m now afraid for reproductive rights in Australia.

Nah. It’ll be alright. We don’t generally go backwards. We go at a snails pace forward unless it’s a pay rise for pollies then it’s all speed ahead.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
We don’t generally go backwards.
This is generally true. Except for the destruction of medicare, loss of local manufacturing industry, no taxation on our mineral resources, expensive and half useless universities and no consequences for government corruption
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I wish I could know it would be ok. We have our own fundies here so things could get dicey

I really ought to look into a hysterectomy. I don’t want kids anyway, but this is certainly an incentive to advocate better for myself lol

Ugh, that smug dipshit Elon Putzk will be positively gloating… ugh, the thought is personally repulsive. How could they not love Tim Walz? Did they really want to not vote for a coloured woman so hard that they voted for a racist rapist delusional carny sheisty pathological liar instead‽ Jesus Christmas cookie Christ.
DuckyMcDuckface@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Real talk, they didn’t vote for Trump because Harris is a POC woman, the reasoning seems to be much simpler, and dumber
- The economy isn’t great
- It was better under Trump (any thoughts revolving around why it was better cough covid price gouging and shit trump repealed don’t exist)
- Vote trump

I did see what you posted, just chiming in to say this is really putting a pin in my plans to visit my brother in the US next year after I finish uni :/
otoh he probably needs some cheering up…

Jesus Christ I HATE watching this US news, but I cant look away! Some folks are already calling it and I think I might throw up. Thats not a joke or an exaggeration.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 month ago
The fact that it’s this close speaks volumes of the US population.
Salvo@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It is also how biased the US electoral system is to maintain the Status Quo.
Every time the Republicans get in, the cripple democracy a little bit at a time. When the Democrats get in, they don’t do anything to roll back the damage.
It has finally come to the Endgame for US Democracy.
All we can do is make sure that our elected officials are aware that it is not something that we want in Australia.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
thinking on it I am not surprised
for 100 years the press and influencers have been making race an issue as a distraction to class , money and opportunity issues ( to stop the working class uniting , and yes, race is an issue )
the working class have genuine grievances and want a voice, sadly trump says he is their voice ( even tho that’s a lie )
they don’t want to hear more race issues
we need unity
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
They need mandatory voting, at the very least
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m very thankful for our electoral system.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Like my gran used to say (she thought she was upper class)… “I deserve two votes” even though she never read any policy. I once flippantly said maybe charlie (her doggo pug) should get one too and she was thrilled at the idea.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yeah I’m starting to get a bad feeling about it all. About to turn off notifcations and try to bury in work for a few hours
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I have friends in the US 😭
Dalek_Thal@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It’s looking real ugly over there. People are talking about a red mirage, but…that seems more and more unlikely the longer this goes on.
Dalek_Thal@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Just saw someone talk about a republican house, senate and presidency altogether as a good thing.
Compared it to Obama. Obama had no interest in dictatorship. Republicans meanwhile keep getting real excited about Hitler.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It’s too early to tell
Nath@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It is too early to be sure, but it took four days in 2020 to get a result and things looked a lot more purple than they do this time around.

Oh joy. Impending major restructuring at my workplace. No redundancies, more like the drive-the-people-remaining-to-breaking-point strategy.
My 11th year may end up being my last, time to dust off the resume and get the hell out of here :| At least I hit my LSL eligibility beforehand… :\
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 month ago
have you taken LSL yet? I’d take it, disappear for a few months then take the redundancy they offer when you get back.
mysticgreg@aussie.zone 1 month ago
The LSL is banked with the intention of just taking the cash when I leave, on top of the 7 weeks annual leave I’ve also got sitting there.
They’re adamant there will be no redundancies, without coming out and saying it they’re definitely trying for reduction through attrition.
See what happens I guess.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
So one of the clients I look after, is cracking the shits about something that I have no control over.
I really hope I don’t get scapegoated over this.
Fingers crossed.

So there’s now literal children buying anti-aging products like retinol and a hair disclosing spray so women can completely defuzz their whole faces?
People are getting preventative Botox and giving themselves gastroparesis by using Ozempic and 20 year olds are either removing the fat from their cheeks or getting fillers?
Earlier periods of history got a bad reputation their beauty standards and rightfully so but I feel like it’s all more out of control now. Beauty standards are insane.

I don’t like this reality can we reset the simulation pls.

My cat’s heart isn’t working well and he doesn’t have a great prognosis, but he’s well and happy in himself and I’m focusing on that. We’ll be ok.
I’ve just ordered takeaway for the first time in yonks. Fried goodness is now on the way to me and in the meantime I’ve poured a glass of wine. I will enjoy it and not wallow.
And I’m putting my fingers in my ears and ignoring the news out of the US.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I really cbf making this potato salad but I know future me will appreciate it when I hear “What’s for dinner?” And I get to answer “it’s in the fridge. Help yourself”.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Now is the time to narrow my view, focus in on my own world, school, partner, Mickey, coffee, chocolate, beer. I don’t want to know about the world anymore, not for a while. I can’t let this drag my mood down. I have good things in my life idc about anything else lol
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 1 month ago
World news aside, I’ve finished my first day at the new job. I think I need to get past induction and do some actual work, and start working from home, before I can decide if this was the right choice.
I think it will be. I need to remember how shit my old work was, even before things for really bad. Once I get started I won’t wish I got things right in the old role, because even when things were working, they were just barely, and things were still shit
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Just as a little moment of grounding… What are we all having for dinner on this sombre evening? I gotta use up my other half tin of coconut cream, so I’m going to do a rich tomato curry with tvp balls that I also need to use up. Along with the leftover everything-in-one veggie and dal curry and boiled eggs my aunt gave me.

top comment on The Daily Show summary video is “I Prey for Ukraine”. No words for the feeling of when that registers in your mind. I hadnt even consdidered… Will the EU step up? God. I just… those poor people.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m trying to explain to the cat that he can’t have breakfast because the nice vet is going to give him medicine to go to sleep and do some special scans.
He’s just looking at me with his trusting little face, like ok that’s fine but can we have chicken now please? I did tell you I’m hungry?

The barometer’s dropping and my migraine’s rising. Storm probably incoming. Or rain anyway.

I’ve finally started at the new job. Let me know if you’re having trouble with your employer, I can send them an email that should scare them into shape.
I’m working for the sort of government department departments wouldn’t want to hear from, as long as they don’t dig too deep and look at my job title
