Seriously, you anxious white fuckers need to deal with your own shit properly otherwise you will self-sabotage in the worst way and drag the rest of us down with you.

White people in Australia are so exhausting. Most of them have no idea about the context they exist in. We just have to work around them, because we literally have no other option.

Australia does not revolve around your sookage.

One more wine and then home because I have work tomorrow and have to wrangle people in my agency into compliance (pretend this post never happened)

All those white people who think One Nation control Australian politics now are going to be very disappointed.
#Newspoll 58-42 to ALP (yep)

ALP 36 L-NP 24 Green 13 ON 15 IND/other 12

Albanese net 0 (haha) (47-47)
Ley net -29 (26-55)
Better PM (favours incumbents) Albanese leads 54-27.

This happened last night and I am still impressed by what happened today.
I have never been chased down by restaurant staff to eat a course of dumplings I had apparently forgotten I had ordered but there you go.

Trying not to judge and failing the middle aged Anglo male with a tattoo of Crux (the Southern Cross) on his calf muscle.

Turmeric is certainly acceptable in some contexts (I love my nasi kuning). But as a tea? No.

Me: I should try some of the other restaurants on Oxford Street sometime.
Me, ten minutes later: Hungry now. DonDon now.
November 23, 2025 at 6:51 AM
I am at Don Don again

Increasingly understanding that climate scientists have no idea about how politics work (not a SEKRIT, but worth reiterating)
November 23, 2025 at 5:31 AM
I just need to last here for 35 minutes more until DonDon opens.

1) yes
2) Americans have disgustingly poor diction.
Amazing incorrect lyrics on the karaoke machine yesterday

Absconding to the United States, let’s be clear about this. Possibly Argentina but that too would be related to the United States.
"Brazil’s former far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, has been arrested at his villa in the capital, Brasília, amid suspicions he was poised to abscond to a foreign embassy to avoid going to prison for masterminding a military coup."

I understand why mimosas exist, but also, no.

Whatever the bottom right one is.

I feel I need to give lessons to weekend train users on how to use trains well. For example, stand to the left and right of doors to allow people to disembark from the train. Do not stand directly in front of the door (how is this helpful?!)

I perfectly understand why people like Joe Hockey’s family anglicise their family names but I also wonder at what this does to their perceptions of their cultural identities. Also only people of certain backgrounds can do this - nobody is going to be convinced if I changed my surname to ‘Smith’ lol

Reading between the lines, I think pandering too much to the GenX and Millennial fanbase would be a mistake. But tbh I moved on from this series a while back.

Reminded that one of the most unrealistic things about Buffy the Vampire Slayer is that the cast didn’t have a single Asian character despite being ostensibly in Southern California and the main characters allegedly being mostly nerds (Willow and/or Xander should have been Asian, at least)
