The National Library of Australia: Cool, so what you’re gonna have to do is come to Canberra and look at it on microfiche.

Anniversary gift traditions are outdated. We need anniversary takeaway traditions instead.

I’m going to start by suggesting that the 9th anniversary be Chinese, because it’s our 9th anniversary next week and I want Chinese.

I could go to work after dropping the kids off at holiday care… or I could come home and decimate the cooking sherry to get over the trauma of getting everyone dressed and out of the house on time.

Today I exchanged email addresses with someone I’d met into order to enter into social correspondence with them. If anyone needs me, I’m hanging out in 1999, it’s nice here, and I’m not coming back.

Kids have no school on Friday (a week before school holidays start, why are the school doing this to me?) so I’ve decided to take them on a trip to Hammerbarn to buy paint.

This means I will have the paint so I can repaint the roof before solar panels go on at some point in the next couple of months, and keep the kids strapped into car seats for two hours while I drive us to and from the nearest Hammerbarn.

Third data breach in six months. I shouldn’t need to replace anything, because I’ve already done that for the first two, but how the hell do we protect ourselves from this bullshit? When are companies going to be held responsible for their wildly awful data retention policies?

Trying to teach my kids how to go under the radar in hardcore Nationals country while being so bad at it myself that my boss asked me to “keep my normal stuff under my hat” is just… great.

Anyone got any tips for doing customer service work where you need to be a bit chatty when you got assigned an autistic brain with no conversational filter? 😬

I have not stopped eating today, and I’ve realised that they don’t call it shark week because of the blood, they call it shark week because you have the appetite of a giant ocean predator.

Living in a fat, disabled body as a queer, neurodiverse AFAB person makes being in most gym spaces absolutely hellish. I would love to be able to join in in a space like this.
