    I had a bunch of random fruits shoveled into my bag at the free food market today. Including gold kiwi fruit that I don’t really like, so this afternoon’s job will be kiwifruit chutney. I’ll also chop up the peaches for the freezer (they are generally a bit bruised and not great for eating fresh).

    I also got some chicken to roast and lots of salad kits, so meal prep has pretty much sorted itself out for the next few days!

    US election comments

    I’m very dismayed by the US election result. I wouldn’t have been shocked at a trump win, I thought it would be close so was a possibility. But was not mentally prepared for a such a large margin. So many Americans want this? I would like to think they didn’t understand what they were really voting for. I have a sinking feeling thinking about what the next four years might have ahead both for Americans, and globally for places like Ukraine and the Middle East.

      It’s apparently going to weaken the Australian economy too? Which is fun.

      I want to rage and call Americans stupid, and to be fair a lot of them did buy in to the hate and spin.

      But I think there was also a lot of gerrymandering and ratfuckery at play. And apparently voting in America works differently to Australia. Can’t imagine being a minority in America right now

        I don’t think so. The working class here are more compliant and don’t think in terms of rights like Americans do. Thus Australians have fewer resentments and less anger than Americans. They don’t need to bring in full strength fascism here to crush the working class and labour movement.

        It will be more like English class oppression.

    I want to buy more seeds and garden stuff but the money… the limited number of pots and the invasive grass… the fact that it might get stolen…

        I’m not really able to do that without exacerbating mould issues or taking up room I can’t afford, but maybe I can work something out.

        Thanks. I’m not actually very skilled, the plants are just motivated to live and I give them what help I can

        Indeed, I’ve been refreshing the news pages pretty often, at the moment it might be because of the safe seats and counting that has happened through the midband of the US, as it hits the west coast Harris should get more votes to balance it out but it’s not helping that Trump has won a few swing states already.

      Oh my god, as a woman unfortunate to be cursed with lots of body hair, ripping off the paper tape is worse than whatever required the use of the tape, most of the time.

    I’m undecided on whether or not I should cancel my gym membership and switch to the council instead. The gym I’m currently at is a group fitness gym which is a highly motivating and supportive environment, and great for socialising considering I don’t really have a third space. However, I miss going to a gym with machines and the council one has a pool. Plus it’s cheaper. Only the social aspect missing. I think it’s a case of loss aversion here.

    Got a huge nosebleed on the train, so that was fun. Spent a few minutes looking like I’d come fresh from the exorcist.

    Forgot to take a photo, but a bee landed on me and started cleaning herself, which was cute. Had to relocate her with a spare tissue so she didn’t get on the bus, but was otherwise the highlight of the day.
