Bicycle

So I just found out my local Maribyrnong councillor has died of unknown causes in her home. This is quite shocking.

It was meant to be pedalphile, as in bicycle pedals, but I obviously mispelled it and I’ve chosen to stick with the name to constantly shame myself.

It was either that or spokesperson and I didn’t think that was clever enough. Ironically, I’ve ended up looking very stupid and I’m fine with that.

I’m having a pretty good day today. I hope everyone here has at least one moment of joy today.

One deluxe seafood curry with hot tea, please.

Blue ringed octopus. Tiny but deadly.

Set up automatic bank transfers to chop your income into % parts: 5% play money, 20% savings, bills etc. do what works for you. Get rid of unnecessary subscriptions.

I think (or hope) most of us know that nuclear is no longer an option for us in Australia and that there are many more sustainable ways to generate energy here.

Welcome to the new era of enshittification where you’ll eventually have to subscribe to access or make posts, and none of it will be searchable on any search engines.

Subscriptions.

When people find themselves in stress, they will always vote conservative to ensure their own survival. Right now, many young people can’t afford housing, they have to spend more time working than living. This is not surprising.

I’d love to get prints from the artist to hang on my wall.

How fast do download speeds in Mildura get?

Thank you so much. I hope you and your wife’s IVF journey was more successful than mine.

Agree - human health. I guess I was thinking about my surgery costs for endometriosis on top of IVF and how it wasn’t covered by Medicare at all. Medicare coverage has huge gaps and I hate how the government whittles away at it rather than expanding it.

I’m late to this conversation but I’ve gone 5 rounds of IVF and it’s cost us most of our savings. IVF didn’t work for us and we’re looking at egg donors. Did you know it’s illegal to pay someone or receive money for being a surrogate or egg donor? We’re having to look overseas because hardly anyone here will do it for free (understandably).

Clearly, the government isn’t interested in anything remotely related to female health.

Replace all roads with free mass transit. That should work.

My vote is for “Yes” by A.B. Original, DJ Total Eclipse and Marlon.

The lyric “I never swore allegiance to the crown” sends chills down my spine.

Woke up to the sound of some nutter with his hand on the horn speeding down my 40km/h residential street. Somebody obviously got up on the wrong side of the bed and is dragging the rest of us down with them! 😤

That project was an absolute disaster. Builder lost millions and then substituted everything out for cheaper products. I swear, there’s stuff there that’s not to code.

The biggest travesty of all? Closing off the completely accessible underground pedestrian tunnel, forcing you to wait at the traffic lights.

Storm in a teacup. Move along, nothing to see here.
