Me to me:
What if I stuck eyes on a croissant?

(This is from a few years ago, but the result still makes me cackle)
A plate of croissants. Orange paper eyes have been stuck onto the top one, transforming it into an edible reptile-like delicacy.

From the garden - candy pink roses. They look gorgeous, and smell like soft musk sticks... and hope.

So we're at the POTUS is bored/lawless/demented stage and wants to test a nuclear bomb stage of the dictatorship.

I'm not surprised. Thought it might take another year or so to get here.

Gentle reminder to add alt text to photos!

It’s an important feature to ensure this place is inclusive and accessible

If you need help remembering, you can change your settings to prompt you to add it before you post

I’m seeing a lot of disability content lacking alt text which is disappointing

I'm "in bed by 9.00pm" exhausted... this week/month/year has drained my brain, body, and soul.

Better days ahead?
Effing hope so!

Destruction of the East Wing of the WH is this quote:
"They were careless people... they smashed up things & creatures & then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, & let other people clean up the mess they had made."

The Great Gatsby
East Wing of the White House partially destroyed by demolition equipment to make way for a grotesque ballroom.

If you see any unattended fires, report them immediately to Triple Zero (000).

Tuggeranong ARTS centre "Discordant" The unscathed are boisterously relieved. Their raucous laughter ruptures our grief. Mocking our mourning amidst the burnt land. We've no need for singing dirges they call. We're bloody happy to be alive they call. But we are weary of their unseemly cheer. Our loss is larger than their laughter. We yearn to heal in silent solace. Too soon we sighingly whisper back. Too soon. Susie Walsh SOLASTALGIA POETRY EXHIBITION 10-26 ОСTOBER 2020
