They were making a great poster about giving up meth and then remembered they could still lick the baggie.

Someone put these posters up in Eastwood. I love how it starts off with a reasonable feel, but once you get to the bottom, it's just random words

Got a free mooncake from the Labor Party, and if Daddy Minns thinks I'm going to vote Labor after this, well, then he's absolutely right.

This is why I say Americans just shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the metric system. We should never have let them find out about it.

My favourite memory of Marigold was when I was supposed to be meeting friends but I went there on the wrong day. I was a vegetarian at the time too, so I spent an hour sitting on my own eating broccoli. As I left, the lady at the desk said "very healthy!".

En route to Eastwood to eat MEAT in celebration of the mid-autumn festival 中秋节 (which was yesterday, but I was far too busy yesterday). And in a week's time, we will be actually on our way to China.

I would suggest that interested parties should look up into the sky after dark. It will be the round white thing.

Essay submitted, which means I have finished my second year. And THAT means I have some decisions to make about next year. More coursework or the dissertation? We will celebrate the mid-autumn festival tomorrow.

Happy Kicked In The Head By A Horse Day, to all who celebrate. It's the 7th anniversary of this absolute banger.

A lot of the problem with online disability discourse, especially in America, is that the loudest voices are those who refuse to participate in society and then get upset when society moves on without them.

This is why the ‘Covid conscious’ are not to be taken seriously on accessibility.

So I looked at their website, and while it was technically accessible (‘round the back, past the bins), the bar area wasn’t. Disabled people could not walk through the front door and could not order a drink themselves, and this was seen as less of a barrier to accessibility than masks.

48 hours in I've just realised that Last Ditch is not wheelchair accessible...

Thursday is my food and drink night, and I've banged more half-price prosciutto down my gullet tonight than really I ought to have. That said, my doctor did agree this afternoon that I could postpone "watching my diet" until after I get back from China.

Taking a "fuck it that'll do" approach to this essay I'm writing, and I do feel a little ashamed, especially since some poor bugger will have to actually read it, but I have sadly run out of time to care. The deadline is tomorrow, an extension isn't possible, and I'm basically running on fumes.

I'll never understood entertainment at football matches. Surely the football match itself is the entertainment?

For a moment I thought The Guardian had suddenly pivoted on its stance on trans women...

Peter Serafinowicz reminds me a bit of the Croatian guy who asked me to run away with him to rural Croatia and open a butterfly farm. Occasionally, like very occasionally, I almost regret saying no to the proposition.

I don't take iced coffee to my job interviews; I take a McDonald's thick shake with a paper straw so the hiring manager will know I'm good for a decent blowjob if it ever becomes necessary.

One of my favourite genres of post is tallen whinging about not getting a free upgrade and being forced to travel in the seat they actually booked.

Late dinner is carrot and ginger soup with lentils and split peas. Late because it needed to sit on the stovetop cooking for an hour, and I was unconscious while 7pm following my allergy incident this afternoon. It's a bit bland, but I'm mainly having for the nutrition my body is craving.

The duck mousse is really delicious, so I'll have to be careful to eat it in moderation lest it gives me gout or something.

The Discourse continues over on social media website Threads, and I'm learning that it is ableist to share information about the world with autistic people so they can better navigate it and social situations, but it's NOT ableist to assert that autistic people are incapable of learning things.

Yes, the blades in the Ninja Professional food processor really are quite sharp. Ouch, sweetie, ouch.

Left work early because I had an allergic reaction to something. Not sure what. It felt like what it feels like when there are cats around, but I'm pretty sure there were no cats in the office.
