This is me today.
Went out for dins last night with fam + SIL. Nice place AUGELLO'S in balwyn. Place was packed and the staff did an incredible job managing that. Good pizza!
But turns out bro and SIL are trump supporters which came as a shock to the rest of us.
Back in the day around the kitchen table we'd get into heated arguments about Labor/LNP. Old man is heavy rusted on LNP (as in he'd leave the room if people we shitting on their policy setting). He just sat there in disbelief.
But this didn't turn into an argument. Just the sound of eyebrows being raised.
Everyone is entitled to their views.. but yeah.. wow. They're well educated aswell.
I'm not really the type to get upset with views but their views on the rona and now this definitely makes it difficult to think any better of them.
As a total outsider just based on what you've described about your bro and SIL over the last year or two... I am not surprised that they are Trump supporters. Selfishness is often correlated with that category of people. I'm so sorry you got another blow to your relationship with them...
Not my cat but my adoptive niece...
And the beauty of the house.... complete with ginger stalker
I just had that moment where a cat gets stuck with a plastic bag somehow wrapped around them, and they shamefully come to you for help.
Poor thing. But also, adorable lol
The anxiety lately is quite bad. π΅βπ«
I need me a nap like this

Just wanted to thank everyone for their rather raw sharing of feelings yesterday. I realized late last night what my biggest fear was: that something so obvious to me wasn't obvious to a majority of people. It was rather isolating and sobering. upon reflection, ya'll sharing your shock or grief or whatever helped a LOT. So thank you.
Just take one day at a time and the chance to focus on other things.
While it's half a world away it hit me harder than I thought as well.
Treat yourself and make yourself feel better.
You can only look after your own kingdom. β₯
I still feel raw and upset tbh, like a horrible heavy weight sitting in my lower abdomen.
I don't know how to get away from all the terrible news to come over the next 4 years. But I think I might start by actually following through and deleting the other place, and then just focusing purely on my own life and this place here lol
You always have a space to commiserate and find company here, this is a bastion.
Funny lil' guy I saw yesterday on my walk
No pets currently, but hereβs a pic of the nice maggie that spent the day in my backyard a while back
OMG what kind are they!? They are adorable!!!
What dog? I can't see it.
shoulder-cat
Mickey is a shoulder cat as well?!!?!? How much more perfect and lovable can this little man be (aside from the occasional leg chomp)
ted being cute
We all know you like to bite bums Ted. Don't act innocent.
An offering of this best boy I met on the street one day
I give you shoebox cat for pet appreciation day.
Pet day? Hello from the top of the cupboards where carrier avoidance due to V E T appointment is ongoing
Ok, old pic, but repeat incomingβ¦
Dammit! No vax today, have to go back in a few weeks.
I don't have a pet, can I post a picture of my sister instead? That's basically the same thing right?
sure
it's really just about reminding ourselves that there is good in the world π
Ok, wtf is going on?! Iβve heard at least 15 units, there are choppers not showing on flight radar, train line is down and nothing on VicEmergency.
As a general rule lots of emergency services + train + no info tends to mean someone hit by a train. Although I think when there was a suspected bomb at Ringwood the situation was much the same, although that had roads around the station blocked off too.
Yeah, I get that. Though one not long ago I managed to figure out it was a cow hit not a person. The choppers not showing up when I can clearly hear them is disconcerting.

We rent, so don't have pets. This is Cara:
She was a sweet old girl belonging to dad (and Mum before she passed). This photo is my kids saying goodbye to her - it was her last visit before she had to go.
I don't really miss her like she's shown here, but boy do I miss her when she was young! I could take her on a 10km run and she was so fast that she made me faster trying to keep pace. Jack Russells will run forever if you let them.

Good night everyone. πππ Today can be DT Pet Appreciation Day
