rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild:
Yellow-footed antechinus
Lesser Long-eared Bat
Eastern brown snake
Pobblebonk
All depends what you count as the wild. I'm counting bats that moved into nesting boxes. Considered including reintroduced bandicoots.

I don't know what's up with the world, but my eyes feel like someone's been wafting sliced onions under them all day.

Caught up on Foundation and I'm still not over there being an actually good Foundation TV show, when it should be a nightmare to adapt. One of my favourite sci-fi book series, with the caveat that I haven't revisited it since I was a teenager. And 100% fine/good that the show is quite different.

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

I've hit the stage of thinking about turning my game collection into little campaigns. A simple example would be playing rounds of The Last Lighthouse until you lose, and then it triggers a game of Arkham Horror. Or chaining survival and crisis management games together into ultimate survival.

I have a pattern going with a food chain where they email me a survey, and my feedback is that the survey format is assuming what I want rather than letting me express what I care about. Did the staff greet me? Who cares. And no, I'm not going to recommend products/services to people, that's weird.

Boo. I was doing so well then got set off by a TV show. Now I'm angry, sad, and stuck in feelings from 2+ years ago.
Don't actually want to spend my day getting mad about mental health assessments, but here we are.

My arms have just realised I spent 4 hours carrying dishes back and forth yesterday (school fete volunteering). My ankle had its moment last night. Says something about excessive time chained to desk, probably, but I'm feeling good about coping given how much of a zombie I've been the last few weeks

Noise cancelling headphones are great for being able to hear things, especially at the train station. But if the podcast finishes and I'm left with a muffled version of the world it freaks me the hell out. Don't let my brain know I've been tricking it out of paying too much attention to surroundings

giving the "no, you go ahead" wave when you have the right of way is just as wrong as not respecting someone else having the right of way
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Aww, I got baby's first Facebook restriction. I assume because the bots don't like some art I was posting about (possible connotation of self-harm, but not really). Fuck off, censor-bots, it's far less objectionable than the AI slop.
