Hot on the heels of SASSPANTS SATURDAY I now present SHADY SUNDAY
Now that can mean something that is illegal or you can throw it at someone or something that isn't getting sun.
For me today it is the latter. my horizontal banksias are in the wrong spot and I'm going to have to dig them out this summer and we're not looking forward to that.
Edit: Which of course bring us to the rave:

I want to call out circadian rhythms for being so easy to change in one direction, and yet so hard to change back.
Fuck you rhythm.
Good shade
Fuck the suprachiasmatic nucleus
When all the servos in one area are selling petrol for the same price. It's not collusion just a coincidence alright.
Remember that "failed experiment" fuel watch? Well, it started in WA and never left. The servos obviously hate it, but they're forced to publish tomorrow's prices online by 11pm, and must stay at that price the whole day.
That means you can go to the Fuel Watch site, open map view and it'll highlight the cheapest fuel today and tomorrow if it's evening.
Pretty sure we have cheaper fuel as a result. It's something about WA that I missed living in Melbourne, and you've reminded me that I take it for granted now that I have it back.
Shady cartels definitely count.
I used to work in the fuel industry. All their point of sales systems are synced for a particular company so they can fidget with pricing in real time.
I fucking hate the different copyright zones. It means if i change my address on my accounts I lose most of my bought music. Fuck you itunes and amazon.
and fuck Netflix for cancelling so many series
I'll throw some shade at TEMU then, who are being very slow with my latest order. It's sitting in a facility somewhere when it is supposed to be here already.
I would like to be able to throw some shade at my garden beds, which get way too much sun in the middle of summer, but the package I am waiting for contains some vital components, so I can't!
