Got served an ad for a tiny watercolour set and now I'm trying to figure out how to create it for less money and/or shipping within Australia.
Have I ever painted watercolour before? No. But have I always had a burning desire to watercolour? Also no. But look, that palette was really cute okay?

I just saw a reel from an influencer who pops up on my explore page every now and then. They mostly talk about topics relating to their field of expertise, which is admittedly a professional field.
Anyway, in this reel they said they owned SEVERAL Hermès bags. SEVERAL.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

At the start of last year I had to replace my work bag and, friends, I bought into the anti-backpack spin and bought a tote bag instead.
Ne'er was there such a fool as I! Tote bags are for suckers, not serious people.

Did zoomers embrace the middle part because the side part flipping on the video call was too weird?

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

I love watching someone solve a mystery, but why does it always have to be a murder? I want to watch an investigative savant solve a jewel heist, an art fraud, a con job ...

Saw my GP today (new year, new mental health care plan) and our conversation made me realise I know all the things I should do to look after myself, -- it's just that when you're in a deep pit of depression, you don't have the energy to climb the ladder out (if I can even find it in the dark)

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that.
We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs.
Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I’m reminded of watching two old ladies ask a teenage goth for directions and she politely told them and when she was out of earshot one lady said “You know where you are with a goth”
