Have refrained from sharing this before, buuuuuuuut …
Came to work this morning, and found that someone had set up camp in the portico of the building I work in. No-one in sight, but mega debris left behind. I would like to know, from a purely scientific basis, what possible scenario would include :
- 7-8 empty and semi-empty packets of Dine cat food.
- 1 broken bottle of cheap sherry.
- 3 used syringes (capped).
- a baby soother.
- many many cigarette butts.
- the wrappings from at least 2 soap bars.
- various items of discarded clothing including underwear.
- 3 empty bottles of hair shampoo.
- orange peel.
- 1 cigarette lighter (empty).
- the supports and foam packing from a small pallet.
- a secondhand paperback copy of Pride and Prejudice (much used).
- a couple of packets of jelly babies (broken and contents scattered).
- a whole onion (undamaged).
Can anyone enlighten me? And yes, I had to clean it up. Thank god for cheap woollies tongs.

This is someone who is most likely shooting ice. The give away is the collection of random shit.
Take it from me: if you’ve ever lived that life, it makes perfect sense.

I’ve read a bunch of comments from homeless people on reddit saying that after a while they lose respect for society ignoring them and both hoarding what ever is available and leaving garbage anywhere just becomes part of their life.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Good that they capped the syringes at least
SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I have no insights. The soap and shampoo quantities confused me.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Me too. I could understand most of it, the cat food, the syringes and butts, jelly babies etc. but the baby soother, and hair shampoo were a bit of a facer.

Going to the Perth zoo today for my last day here. Flying back home tomorrow morning 🌞

Say hi to Nellie. And tell her her newsletter is late.

I love Perth zoo. The pygmy marmosets are my favourite. They’re so cute.
Have a great day!

Huh, so apparently all that wind has been blowing over a ton of dust as well - explains why my car looked like someone had splashed a light layer of mud all over it today. Fieldwork went well enough despite the gusts, and it was nice to be back doing something I feel competent in…
Glad to be out of the elements this evening just as the wind hits. It’s nice to be spending my evening gazing at sox, who is still too slinky and elusive to photograph properly in the dim light of this apartment, and is still busy marking her scent on everything possible, including power cords, paper bags and plant pots. She herself smells remarkably of baby powder.
No more hissing, though I think it’ll be a couple of days yet before we get to snuggle time. She was a bit unsettled by the wind noise and kept glancing up nervously while eating, but I think my standing near her while she ate helped calm her down.

Last night, my dad and I went out, and someone my dad works with spotted his car and took a photo with it. He said he would do something to the car as a joke.
Fast forward to today, we see the mud on the car that looked like someone threw coffee on it. He thought that could’ve been what the work colleague did to the car, but it was just Melbourne weather.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Looking outside at this glorious sunny day - enjoy it while it lasts co it ain’t gonna last.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 days ago
clouds are moving in
I should dash to the beach now while I can even tho the tide is fairly high
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 days ago
sky very pretty 🌞
and whimdy, there is weather here, unlike in the weather shadow of carlton where we had little rain or blowy days
it’s so cool when pelicans fly over and there are birds here I don’t know
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Long day…
Need sleep but must have time to myself first. Cats have been fed.
Time for a bath, some dinner and maybe some music.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 days ago
The tide was very high today, the blue heron was walking through the dunes eating bugs, black swans were swimming and diving where yesterday the gulls were standing on rocks . I saw a flock of little yellow wrens. And found a little red toy pail with a starfish imprint on the base.

Cheetos for breakfast. The universe has not manifested a fedora, so far.

Eeep! I’ve a perfect visual of that florid doffing gesture.

god damn the right wing rags are really gunning for the state election. At this point I’d ignore the fuckers if they said the sky was blue.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I ignore them whatever they’ve got to say.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I wonder if they’ll roll out the ‘Tough on crime’ platform for a 3rd time in a row.
Taleya@aussie.zone 4 days ago
they seem to be playing the “victoria is going bankrupt and will take all your money” card. Which doesn’t even make sense ^unless you’re a liberal voter^

I am half way through the second Helen Forrester autobiography,
I am all out of sympathy for the mother. She is a cruel selfish grifter, sending begging letters for children’s clothes to all her old friends, her daughter’s friends and friends of friends.
Then when she gets the clothes , much much needed clothes, she pawns them and uses the money to buy cigarettes.
The children are dressed in filthy rags.
To top it off she mocks Helen for being filthy and ragged, poorly educated and unemployable. This is unforgiveable.
But there are two bright spots.
Because the children were told to look after each other they did and grew up close and supportive of each other.
All the children could read and write and had access to books.
This meant they were able to heed advice regarding education and take advantage of opportunity.

My sister in Christ, you (Helen’s mother) raised the child.
Taleya@aussie.zone 4 days ago
no she didn’t, she simply birthed her children. It was nannies and such for raising them until oh god what do you mean stock market crash
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Helena snapped back with that and got a hard slap.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 days ago
It’s just awful isn’t it, the expectation that Helen should just basically give up any chance at having a life so that she can be an unappreciated drudge and the mother can bludge and steal money. The first book inspired me to read the second one too!

Woke up at 3 and couldn’t get back to sleep, tossed and turned and grumbled. Then of course half hour before the alarm went off, my body just switched off and went into a glorious sleep. Grr.
