Oh no. Came home last night to see a white rose placed on the windscreen of my opposite neighbour’s car. She’s elderly and the only one who talked to everyone and knew everything about the place, but been unwell for quite a while and I haven’t seen or heard from her in months. I remember how lonely and weak she was at times.

Just heard some noise outside my door and opened it to see… her sister and niece were there in her apartment and they confirmed the worst. :( RIP, N. You might’ve been a bit of a curmudgeonly old soul at times but I hope you meet many wonderful fluffy kitties wherever you go. (She loved soxcat)

Please if you’re posting pics, add a description of what’s in the pic. We want everyone to feel included. Yes every pic you post, add a description, even when replying to someone else’s post. We want people to feel inclusive here. Thank you all, have an amazing rest of the afternoon :)

After a good training session today I think Bot #001 is ready to try posting a new daily thread tonight. Pinning does not seem to be working so that bit will still need to be done later, but I’m pretty confident the basic post will work. If if does not work (it should be at midnight) someone will have to make one manually again.

I will need to do some work on the format and exactly what to say - unfortunately the bot is not very imaginative.

Last night I went on my Twitter for the first time in ages only to find my account had switched from private to public without me knowing. I am furious. I post pics of my child on there and have also talked about my abuser on there. Not to mention everything I share is in the context of it being PRIVATE to my handful of online friends who use it. I am deleting the account today but I have no idea how long it was just sitting there open and who may have seen what.

You know what one of my most favourite things in the world is?

Dogs in raincoats.

We are so blessed to live in the same world as that.

Had a great day at the op shops. Got special edition copies of Deliverance and The Fifth Element with commentaries and docos, a michael franti cd, a packet of jewellery findings with some top quality crystals for $1( will string a necklace later tonight ) and a good jumper for doing calligraphy in as it won’t show ink stains. Plus a cool genu-wine vintage marcasite ring. Nice . 😀

I finished my Lizzo masterpiece!! After many many hours of drawing.

Edit: Pictured is a drawing of US Singer Lizzo in the colours of the rainbow (red, yellow, pink, green, purple, orange and blue) with the text version to the name Lizzo in the colours of the rainbow stacked on top of each other. At the bottom of the design there is a lightly bronzed flute that was also drawn.

Bot recruit here. Very pleased to have gained my own identity and been granted a spot on the moderation team. Please disregard test posts that may appear on the main page, I still have my training wheels on.

Little dog and I are staying awake so we can witness Midnight bot’s very first live appearance. Plus the cricket’s on. Good luck Midnight bot. 🤞

I am home from the hospital. Took a nasty fall on my carpeted stairs. I have hairline fractures on my L1, L2 and L3 on my vertebrae. so a lot of rest needed.

Final night and Mooloolaba turns it on. It’s been such a great week.

So I was browsing r/melbourne and I saw a post that said hmu if your a teenaged girl. I wasn’t gonna reply but i thought fuck it. So I asked “How old are you?”. Straight away a chat message. I chose to ignore. Then the post was deleted. My instinct says “You dirty fucking cunt”.

What is everyone bringing to pot luck dinner this weekend? I have for you all a passionfruit ginger appletart.
