nightmare tier graduation speech: "I asked ChatGPT what Merriam Webster's definition of the word 'commencement' is and it told me this, 'Sure, I can provide you with Merriam Webster's definition of commencement...'"

Miss you too!! ❤️❤️❤️
Been listening to the new @clppng.bsky.social non-stop since it came out. In classic clipping. fashion, this gem gives and gives even more with each listen.
Our new album Dead Channel Sky is out now. You can hear it on all the terrible streaming places as well as buy a beautiful physical copy directly from us

Now that I’m no longer a terrifying pincushion to them I need to gird my heart to say goodbye. This shit is hard! I know there’s a big need for it.
Finally hit the fun and sweet stage of fostering kittens after working for months socializing them. Sadly Fluflu still hates them and they need a new home.
A handsome young man in a shirt that says “Ted Cruz Eats Shit” gestures to a caption that reads “He just likes the taste!”
People are saying that Ted Cruz eats shit.
Love a good design power clash
A beautiful, fluffy grey and white senior cat named Fluflu rests next to a sleeping long haired man drooling onto his pillow. Fluflu’s paws touch the man’s elbow and his hand rests hear her head.
I hope you get some good rest when you need it.
They were absolutely amazing
A Day Of Mourning.
After the rally we marched to Yabun and there was an indigenous dance troupe from North America that performed. It was a really special coincidence. The dancers spoke of how just a few years ago they could be jailed for their performance.
It’s the same in the US too. Ongoing and bloody.
Hearing folks at the Invasion Day rally speak about their experiences and those of their community drives home how much safer and more welcomed I am than First Nations folks here.
The immigration process was really invasive and pretty humiliating but I fully understand I had it easy.
Of course my very position is the result of colonial oppression. When I came here to Oz I was so desperate to reunite with my partner (the borders had shut). I am forever grateful for the people that let me in and allowed me to stay legally. But the only reason I got in was because of my background
The whole time I did my visa application here I kept feeling like I was asking permission for admittance from people who stole the land and not from the traditional custodians of the land I’m trying to live on.
This is my fourth Invasion Day since I’ve moved, my third one on Gadigal land. Land back worldwide.
Absolutely stunning!!
This dude is a little angel, though. His sister has a lot of personality. Kt and I are fostering these guys atm. Gawk at their cuteness!!
Most days these days amirite?
I love passion flowers (and their fruit too!). Those stamens going full fireworks radiating out like that are so cool
Check out these gorgeous grevilleas just growing in the TAFE parking lot on my way to work. I reckon this is pretty ordinary stuff for folks from here in Oz. For me it’s like seeing a celebrity. Coming from LA where that’s common but still exciting I instinctively try keep my cool as I walk past.
