Found out yesterday I have officially been granted Italian citizenship - right before they changed the rules. 😅😮‍💨

I am excited to have an EU passport, and am thinking more and more about retiring to a beach town in Sicily. 😂

That might be why I like them? 😂

Also it’s mostly photos of Noodle.

Does anyone keep Facebook primarily for it to show you “memories” so you can see what you were up to a few (or in my case up to 15) years ago? Is that a weird thing to do?

Noodle asked me to pick her up tonight. Big deal given she tends to do this with the other human more. 🥰

Me, Amelia, a slim white human with a brown mullet stands in a kitchen wearing colourful Pjs. I’m holding Noodle, a big cat with green eyes. Noodle has black splotches on her nose and head that are akin to cow print spots or like she dipped her nose in ink. Her front paws are draped over my shoulder and her ears are turned sideways. This is for a few reasons 1. She doesn’t like her photo being taken (but will tolerate it) 2. The stove fan was loud and her ears were tracking the sound 3. We were cooking chicken adobo and she wanted to find it and eat it so badly. Like so badly.

Agree with @novelmode.bsky.social - anything by oasis.

Fuck your favourite song. Tell me your least favourite song. The one that makes you die inside the moment you hear the first 3 seconds.

Tattoo day! 🤩🌶️

Bunnie Tats, a very colourful femme tattoo artist concentrates while prepping a tattoo gun. I have my arm laid out on a small pink table and am in the middle of getting a tattoo. My smiling face is blurry and very close to the camera - I turned last minute to photo bomb as my wxfe took action shots of my tat.

The final tattoo! 🤩 it’s two bright cartoon chiles cuddled up to each other. The small one is a red Calabrian chile and the bigger one is a knobbly Anaheim that gradiates from orange to green. Surrounding the whole thing is lilac dots and yellow sparkles.

We also found a bunch of grants we are eligible for and we know what next steps are for access to work. So things are going in a good direction at least.

Also in good news, the leak is fixed, bricks are good and we have a solution for our washer that means we still come out of it with a new washer dryer (which is good because we’ve paid a lot of money).

Going to a nice restaurant tomorrow though. Maybe someday we can just celebrate without stress.

Today is @novelmode.bsky.social and my 5 year wedding anniversary. In true “us” fashion we are “celebrating” by having our washer fixed, a leak looked at, some bricks regrouted and looking for grants to make up for the ATW funds I’ve had quite suddenly cut. 🫠

First jog of the year. It didn’t suck.

Selfie of me, a slim white person wearing a black cap, purple shades, a white t shirt and blue air pods. I have a slightly goofy smile on my face because I just did a jog for the first time in ages. I’m standing in a sunny park.

The best thing though is the disabled community shows up immediately. I’ve already gotten so much helpful advice. It’s just going to require so much admin and time and energy to claw back whatever I can which will be less than I need. Fuck austerity man. And fuck the current gov.

Fun fact, because of internalised ableism my brain is telling me this is somehow my fault. (I logically know it’s not, but that doesn’t stop my brain from thinking things). This is just proof these systems fuck with everyone, including super politicised disabled people.

Access to work have decided to make every disabled worker fight to keep their support workers because access to work/govt think tech/ai can do all access, and they're making remaining access workers reduce their fees which is fucking WILD. It effects me because I worked full time as an access worker

Blessed with a shoulder nood. 🥹 #CatSky

I am a slim white person with a brown mullet and a purple hoodie standing with a cow print cat on my shoulders. I’m giving her a chin scratch with the knuckles of one hand and she is very happy.

Similar photo to the other but I’m in our livingroom and giving noodle a bunch of cheek kisses which she is super happy about.

Finally started the ribbing on my jumper. #KnitSky

I am a slim white person with a brown mullet sitting in a colourful and cosily cluttered living room. I have a large green pillow tube around my waist and am holding my knitting to my chest. Noodle, a cow print cat is sitting on said green pillow demanding head kisses. She was letting me know her comfort was more important than my knitting which is a fair point.

No I mean I encourage you to use your eyes for eye stuff if you can. Apparently people like that sort of thing. I wouldn’t know but go off king… quee… quing? Quang?

Current mood

Amelia, a slim white person sits with a colourful blanket over their head and holds a large green mug with the word “fuck” written across it in pink up to their lips. The mug has an effect on it that kind of makes it look like it’s melting. Amelia’s face is in a tired and resigned frown. Basically It’s very fucking February right now and it would be awesome if the sun came out again someday.

Went back to trapeze after a long break. Went really well!

I swear to god I spent years killing the nerves in my inner thighs so I could put up with trapeze - how dare they grow back. 😂

#CircusSky #Aerialist

Amelia, a slim human wearing a black t shirt and purple leggings swings on a trapeze hanging over a blue crash mat. Their face is in shock and pain as the rope and bar of the trapeze twists around their legs - but worry not… that is what is suppose to happen. It just fucking hurts. 😂

Close up of my face mid flight, mouth open, eyebrows furrowed, eyes shocked and a bit confused by the sensations I am experiencing.

**watched couple friends post cute things about their Valentine’s Day yesterday celebrations**

Al on the way to the gym: oh yeahhhhh… happy Valentine’s Day.

Me: oh yeahhhh… Happy Valentine’s Day.

End scene. 😂

I am convinced it is impossible for tradies to be reliable. We had a painter say she was coming at 8:30 last Tuesday. It is now 9:40 the following Monday and she’s still not here.
