Cheddar passed his group training classes! Slowly building up his social skills ✨

I often imagine my life being commentated on by Kevin McCloud. I have grand ambitions, I underbudget, have no idea what I'm doing, I'm never watertight, I lack the proper permits and I'm definitely not to everyone's taste. And if you revisit me five years later, I'm still not finished.

Thank you ! It was delightful and works well for a summer Christmas ☀️

My family barely touched it but I was pretty happy with this raspberry limoncello trifle.

Honestly, it’s maddening to watch all the happy photos from the local Cyber Community Christmas party, knowing I no longer feel comfortable engaging given the inappropriate actions of some attendees.
I feel like I’m turning into a fucking ghost.

The face of someone who stole and ate half a kilo of butter and now regrets it.

Me: well at least I didn’t get the “take everything literally” flavour of neurodivergence.

Also me: Google wants me to confirm if the mobile speed camera is still 200m ahead but that is actually a ~fixed~ speed camera so I will say no.

Guilty as sin erasure 😢

One slip and i’m falling back into the hedge maze
Oh what a way to die
My bedsheets are ablaze
I've screamed his name
Building up like waves
Crashing over my grave

Some wellness girly I follow is giving up her cat so she can move to Bali and continue her ✨soul journey✨
She says that she saved the cat’s life by adopting him and he saved her life by giving her hope after a breakup, they’re now “karmically equal” so she’s fine to “move on”
I can’t even 😳

Been meaning to watch The Fall Guy (Ryan Gosling / Emily Blunt) for ages and i finally got around to it and it was genuinely super fun and hilarious. Would recommend 💯

It’s been 10 years since Hozier wrote
“When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her”
And men still be out here like “wyd 🍆💦😉”

Exactly what I was doing when I posted this.

Has anyone done a study on how much productivity is lost by employees getting distracted and doomscrolling for 5 - 10 mins every time they have to use Authenticator ?

Wait, TODAY is Black Friday?? Why have I been getting emails for like three weeks about Black Friday sales ? I thought it was done already.

Shocked that “a Christmas Duel” by the Hives and Cyndi Lauper hasn’t been suggested yet.

Functionally, does the difference even matter?

I read somewhere a long time ago that hot drinks are comforting because holding them in our hands simulates the human warmth we get from hugs.
In unrelated news, this week away from home for work / conferencing is going swimmingly.

What is this witchcraft ??

I did not get called an unqualified diversity hire for over a year just for them to appoint DOCTOR OZ????

Decorated my office to bring some Christmas cheer to my video calls and not a single person has mentioned it 🥲

I did almost the same last week - flew in to Canberra Sunday night, came home Friday night. It’s exhausting 🫣 hope you’re getting some time rest!

This is my cat.

Let’s make 2023 the biggest DDDPerth yet 🥂

I imagine the great part of being insufferable is the protective bubble of nobody even wanting to tell you when you're being a knob because it's so evidently not worth it. Just cruising in peace, the main character of everything.

Tricking people into liking me by being a genuinely kind person who cares about their wellbeing and whatever is important to them.

I’ve heard rhino, because they’re grey, wrinkly and horny.

The path from “This security thing is a worthy challenge!” to “Leave me alone to maintain my antique tractor and do not mention cursed calculators to me” was a lot shorter than I expected.
