Looks like I've just made my first post ever! 😅🪭 Good morning and goodnight lovely people of the daily thread 🧵🪡
Good Morning! Thank you for posting! ✨
No problem! I was strangely nervous for some reason 🤷🏼♀️
A study of Pepper in packing paper. These make it look far calmer than it was.
What a stunner!!
Dentist complete. Have retained all teeth
Did you take any freebie toothpaste?
Tax time
Reference and police checks are underway for the new role. All goes well should have an offer shortly.
Excited, cause it's something new. Nervous cause it's something new. Anxious, cause I really don't want to meet new people.
Anxious, cause I really don’t want to meet new people.
I feel that. Deep in my soul.
Lucky Gibson has a vet appointment tomorrow. She's feeling a bit lousy poor Fluffball.
Took the day off work because fuck it why not.
Alfie has let me know that he plans on releasing books about the Grave Injustices That Cats Face, his first will be highlighting a particularly grievous instance that affects cats worldwide:
Mum Had Ham and She Didn't Give Me Any! (Okay, She Gave Me a Bit, But I Want MORE).
He feels it will be a Sunday Times Best-seller.
I have Seether by Veruca Salt stuck in my head this morning. No idea why.
Not complaining, takes me back to my uni days, maybe my brain is feeling nostalgic.
Well that’s enough news for today. Clive Palmer has a new political party, called Trumpets of Patriots. No this is not a Beetota advocate headline.
I needed to have got off this ride years ago 🤡
I really hope he fails in spectacular fashion, there’s no place in Australia for a trump like party to exist.
Also I’m sick of his ads on tv.
Edit: Just to add he was forced to use this name because he failed to register his United Party name in time.
ffs, that's like saying Hitler for Patriots in the 1930s
these cunts can just fuck off
What aggrevates me is that if you agree to do something, actually fucking follow through.
If you don't want to, then just say so, instead of fucking me around for days.
Fucks sake.
Some people don't understand that they're fucking with someone's life.
Wish I could print out my brain. Dreamt a manuscript/fresco I'd like to attempt painting, but seriously do not have time right now! Scribbled notes and crossed fingers for future memory it is.
I’m off to the dentist. Back shortly
I think I need to go shopping for a humorous coffee mug. The DT has inspired me.
I’m a great fan of supporting Australian endeavours in space
A lot of people in at work early, someone's playing music from their room and the sound is travelling to me. Usually not so noisy so early I don't know what's up today.
To counter it I'm playing Dua Lipa's Houdini before I go outside.
Night night
dear lord the internet is full of americans discovering "great new ways of growing food" that are just standard good practises.
their mindset and every day language usage is infected by advertising and now internet videos
it's not that bad here, yet
good people, normal people, usually self question and self blame and start to think that maybe they are the one who is narcissistic
sure, people who are victimised by narcissists might end up with psychological injuries but that's not the same as being narcissistic
here is a video by a therapist, that I watch regularly, to help us affirm that we are ok https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5X2Q2dunHU
you're ok 😘😘😘 love you all
On the subject of things that should really be taught in school, one of my top requests would be Identification and Management of Narcissists.
I've recently had someone go into defend me against a narcissist abuser in my life, and all the defender has managed to do is become a target himself and escalate the narcissist's rage towards me.
Narcissists in my experience are expert manipulators. The way they can turn things is quite breathtaking. I'm sorry you and your defender are going through this.
expert manipulators
This is my experience too.
I am still surprised at the depths of moral depravity a narcissist will sink to.
they would support nazism if they thought it would make me look and feel bad ( they tried that one )
but really, they believe nothing, tomorrow they could say they support the true teachings of Jesus
it's just fleeting emotion and words
so ignore it
best thing to do is leave them
unfortunately sometimes they get in positions of power , like trump
Brain dump swept up.
Much less stress in the kitchen. Made a kickass mushroom and pea curry with cashew cream, and finally cooked up the cabbage (with possibly too much of ajwain seeds). Everything is clean and tidy and I don't feel so overwhelmed. Success!
I'm going to have another crack at Juice... 25% of the way through and not that impressed, seems like a lot of heavy handed exposition atm. But I'll keep going
E: nice to listen to even 2 minutes of rain, so calming ☺️
Today I'll be cleaning the top shelf of my pantry. I wonder what forgotten treasures I'll find.
Person walking around co-working office with no shoes on. I've got no issue if you take your shoes off under your desk, but then walking around the place with no shoes, nope.
Not been feeling too well lately, resting and watching old stuff.
Shows like Extreme Cheapskates are just fake rage bait. Yeah, a woman with a full face of makeup, false lashes and an entire set of false nails is so frugal she uses dryer lint for makeup removal. She drives an SUV to the supermarket to beg for meat scraps. Pull the other one!
I hope that episode of Adults Adopting Adults was faker than it looked though. I’m aware that these shows are very scripted and heavily edited but Danny was seriously concerning. I actually feel like that situation was one of the rare ones the camera didn’t overplay.
I am overwhelmed
So I have to decide between uni A and uni B. I am currently enrolled in uni B. Uni A is 20 minutes closer than uni B. Uni A also will give me a scholarship which would be about half a year of pay at my casual retail job. They also offer paid employment a few days a week next year whilst doing a project that's part of the coursework. This is seemingly a no-brainer, but part of me just wants to stay at uni B? Uni B has a few perks in terms of subject selection which could help with employment, but uni A is pretty much guaranteed experience and employment. Uni A will only let me teach two learning areas, where one I wouldn't feel comfortable teaching unless I absolutely had to, but that learning area is more employable.
The Uni A option will allow me to support myself better financially, but I don't think I'm ready to be thrown into a classroom so soon without any supervision.
I also have to remember that I'm not stuck into any of these, but I have to make a decision on which uni for this year by the end of this week.
This overwhelming paragraph represents the state of my mind right now.
Then I have to pick between piano and guitar lessons because I can't keep doing both. I think keeping piano is something I want to do because it is relaxing and I wanna learn jazz piano. I can figure out piano more on my own, although having lessons will mean more accountability. But I feel like I shouldn't give up guitar because it hasn't been that long and I haven't given it my best shot? My pinky finger refuses to cooperate, and I don't know if it ever will.
