I may have been running in exclusively neurodivergent social circles for too long; saw these in the Aldi catalogue & thought “ah yes the autism plates, where the foods don’t touch” 😂 (Pretty sure they are just for kids 😂)

Frost in the grass outside my dad’s place this morning 🥶 Should be illegal in Australia imo

Diva and I have discovered to our mutual delight—and my bank account’s impending dismay—that I am willing to purchase (moderately) expensive skincare products in exchange for batches of delicious, chewy, sugar cookies. What’s your favourite cookie texture?

Literally JUST started watching Ride or Die (starring these two, who I love). Apart from the trailer making it look VERY good I have no real opinion of the show yet. HOWEVER… 🧵:

TFW mum tries to hold hands with you knowing damn well you haven’t forgiven her for taking you to the vet to get your allergy shots & letting the nurse put a thermometer up your 🍑 #jailformother #jailfor1000years

As it should be! (I remind myself over & over whilst rubbing my temples)

Yeah- in Australia they don’t generally look that different colour wise!

When I was little, my granny used to make peanut butter & Granny Smith apple sandwiches for me, & I’ve just recently introduced my kids to them. What’s your favourite unusual flavour combo? Bonus points if it’s a family tradition.

FYI I don’t know why persimmon soap @l4ur3l.bsky.social recommended to me works so well but it BLOODY DOES. I still sweat but I feel like I’m way less stinky than I was before. This is the one I got off Am*zon.

Apropos of nothing except I thought of the Wolverine parallel 😂 :

I enjoy that the proposed arch was just a slightly simplified AI slop ripoff of the Arc de Triomphe with some gold tat added on top, but I VERY much enjoy that the final arch looks like a concrete turd (with some gold tat added on top)

Idk what Dashcon is but from context clues I’m guessing smth like Fyre Fest? anyway I submit to u these images for comparison: 1. The apparently *proposed* design of 🍊🤡’s arch 2. The Arc de Triomphe (Paris, France) 3. 🍊🤡’s arch as it apparently currently looks.

The book was Chuk & Gek, for those of you playing at home: two small boys cross the Siberian taiga (snow forest) with their mother in an attempt to visit their father, a geologist on a research trip, & must survive in the wilderness for several days when it turns out he’s not at the base.

Looking for something else in my phone photos, found this extremely niche meme I made & am cackling like a maniac

Not “all over” the kitchen, but bad enough. iirc I cried a little bit & then ordered takeaway.

The face of a dog who was cruelly abandoned (at home, in her crate) for nearly an hour and a half while I went to my therapist appointment and will now need to be patted & fawned over for at least that amount of time.

I’ve never seen a stick insect here before—finally saw one tonight, only because Dimples spotted it on the way out the door!

I have been missing you all, btw! I’m going to try to be on here more often. Here is Pommie in her hoodie (she only tolerates clothes that keep her warm in cold weather)

I never knew porcupines could do this!! I figured they were built more like hedgehogs & echidnas (“Wow, racist. Just because we have spines?!”—porcupines, probably)

(I still don’t want to deal with mixing petrol and stuff though).

Got some local uni students in to get my neglected yard back into shape w/ their highly superior lawnmower & it has never BEEN so mowed. Pom is retroactively judging my past mowing performance: “how come YOU never mowed it this short?!”

And also this one 😂 feel free to steal these for reaction images btw

Me: 🎶Doot doot DOOT do do da-doot Doot doot DOOT do do da-doot Doot doot DOOOOO Pickin’ up the shits🎶 My dog:

This Matrix meme makes me laugh every time I see it, but I just kind of blew my own mind thinking about how well it applies to the originally intended trans allegory of the movie but also potentially to why we feel visceral disgust at generative AI crap. In this essay I will… no, but: +

Me: This unhinged amount of toe floof CANNOT be normal Pommie: zut alors, now she’s making me take feet pics?! Me: hey we gotta pay those vet bills somehow babe, time to start an OnlyPaws account

Not sure my windows have ever been this clean before. Also whoever invented the yellow circles glass can go straight to h*ll

OH GOOD another symptom of perimenopause I found out about from a Facebook reel instead of a fucking doctor BOTHERING to tell me

A pretty rose and a cool leaf skeleton from my backyard:

The unrepentant face of a baby who cried piteously to alert me to the fact that she had been left UN-PATTED for SEVERAL MINUTES 😱😱😱 *while I was on the phone*
