Yeah, charge them 2 grand for fuel. That should cover it. 🤣🤣

This is every interaction with government agencies ever. And then time limits on top of that. Mere executive dysfunction is enough to put you behind the eight ball.

Byzantine systems designed by people who are never burdened by them.

The NDIS and DSP are not designed to be navigated by people with energy limited conditions. The paperwork and decision making is often insurmountable.

Less pain today but more ache. Feeling absolutely wiped out.

Sorry spider haters, but this was just the most beautiful beast & I knew (nearly everyone) would need to see it 😉. It sat frozen, up on its toes, on the edge of Leeman (WA) salt lake while I took pics. Unfortunately it was too big (body length 1.4cm) for my lens. #spider #Lycosidae #Tetralycosa

Most of a wolf spider, taken from directly above. The last segments of a few legs have been cut off by the frame. It is standing on holy salty sand, so the background looks like a solid slab of black specked beige. The spider is a mainly soft grey body with four black eyes showing. The abdomen is marked with a grey line and black rimmed blobs all over it. This made it incredibly hard to see if you weren't paying close attention. The legs are a more pinky white with diffuse black barring. If it was big enough people would be wearing the "pelt" as luxury coats. It's gorgeous.

The same spider taken from a low angle, looking at the face slightly angled. This shows the female palps and the entire set of 8 black eyes. It also showed how the spider was right up on its "toes" ready for a fast get-away (or maybe the blinding white salt was hot to stand on). There is a bit of a shadow from the intense sunlight. Spider description is on the other photo.

Good album that one. Seen him play live back in the mid 90s. Wasn't afraid to tell people to fuck off outside if they just wanted to talk while he was trying to sing.

I was told steroids take a few days to fully start working. Wish they'd kick in a bit faster. I managed with just paracetamol, but that was a bit of rough night. Pain was up to a 6/10 in a few places.

Probably my own silly fault for getting out trying to catch up on some work yesterday.

Degenerate artist @johnalees.bsky.social · 19h

It has been, but I ain't broke, my neck is now pumped full of steroids and I should be working again next week. So there's that. We do what we must and get by.

If only. Herniated cervical disc, no work for the best part of a month, medical bills and a tax bill. So I'm down about 6 or 7 grand. It's been awesome

I was surprised at how grey my beard got from being dark red at 40 to heaps of grey by 50. It was a stressful decade.

I should think that particular piece of vinyl would sound quite perfectly cromulent through a good set of speakers or a good pair of headphones. I was making do with earbuds and Spotify last time I listened to it.

Try and find the original version. The remastered version butchers the mix. Original thru headphones has a real sonic depth of field. George Martin knew what he was doing. Remastered version loses all of that space and jams it all up in your face.

Yep. A government run by and populated by religiously motivated bigots. You can bet if there was profit for them in gender affirming care they'd be all for it.

I can only to be an ally for all trans brothers and sisters and non binary comrades and offer my solidarity.

I never asked what field of work you're in.

All the best wishes for a successful interview.
