Ooh I got to share this with Nick earlier, now you can have it too!
A screenshot from Instagram. It's a picture of a white ferret surrounded by stuff that looks like packing peanuts and foam stars in different shades of pink. A person has their hand in the frame and is pointing at the ferret. The ferret has calmly captured the pointed fingertip in their mouth. The caption says "Congratulations! You made it thru another day, you deserve to bite someone!"

We just opened the curtains for the first time today since the 'cool' change has come through. We're quite close to the CBD and there's ash on our balcony.
The sun, but there's smoke clouds in front of it.

So this is what the state looks like today. Stay safe Victorians - get the Vic Emergency app, have a safety plan and take care of yourself and your loved ones 💖
An emergency alert map of Victoria. About half of it is shaded red, indicating catastrophic fire danger. Scattered across the state are a bunch of danger icons. There are red fire icons, indicating fires in progress. There are orange fire icons, indicating "watch and act" (there is fire nearby, be prepared to leave) warnings. There are yellow fire icons, indicating people in the area should stay informed.

No-one is a model employee the first week back from break, but working during these temps is an absolute struggle.
Screenshot from Weatherzone of Melbourne temperature today. It's currently 38.4C, feels like 33C and will get to 42C at 4pm. The text is all sorts of hot orange and red tones. Send help, I'm melting.

The politicking that has happened since the Bondi massacre has been completely disgraceful, but kudos for whoever gave me this little moment of schadenfreude today.
A screenshot of The Guardian's live news blog: "13.32 AEDT Sussan Ley queries resourcing of counterterrorism and intelligence agencies Ley says questions need to be asked of intelligence agencies. "These are questions that need to be asked, and much of the reporting over the last few days has indicated that there are genuine concerns when it comes to the resourcing of our counterterrorism and intelligence agencies on our side of politics, we have always leaned in, this government has leaned out." Asked if the Coalition was told about one of the gunmen going to Asia in 2019, when Scott Morrison was prime minister, she says she cannot comment on operational matters."

Melbourne makes a beautiful sky 💖
Sunset in Melbourne. There's some scattered clouds all backlit by a pinky orange sunset.

We get a 'supermarket rejects' delivery box and while it's mostly to inspire us to eat more veg, there's the added bonus of TINY ADORABLE REJECTED AVOCADOS 😍
A hand holding an avocado that's been cut in half. The avocado is slightly larger than an egg and it's so cute! A personal avo all for me!

Thank you Victorian Anaesthetics Group. Way to slide into my DMs 😂
Screencap of a text message header. The sender is listed as VAG. Just VAG, nothing more. I reckon Victorian Anaesthetics Group would maybe want to rethink this but apparently not. So many jokes to be made here!... Tfw she just keeps texting you. Yeah that's it, I'm done 😄

Thanks lovely! I had rainbow cake and I met this cat 😄
A tiger sitting in a bed of straw, staring directly into the camera. He is so beautiful omg A tiger with his giant murder mittens up on a metal mesh fence. They've trained him to do this so they can check his paws and belly! The treat he gets for this is a large syringe of supermarket -purchased kitten milk. Giant kitty is a giant baby.

Update: footy not as good as previously mentioned. Lost the game with the help of some truly atrocious refereeing, but we won the series so suck it Queensland 💙💙💙
A pretty crappy photo of the NSW Blues women lifting the shield for winning the State of Origin. There's sky blue confetti exploding out of a cannon and some decorative fire jets on the background.

We bought this goth af cat tower for our children because we're grown-ups and omg look at these pictures of our baby on her dragon's hoard! 😭
A multicoloured tabby sitting on a selection of knitted and fluffy cat toys. She is so beautiful I can hardly stand it. A stupidly large cat tower (about 180cm) sits in front of a sliding door window. The cat tower is made of plush red and black panels. One of them is black with a red spiderweb on it. There is a tabby cat peering out of a round hammock bed near the top of the tower.

Things you love to see in the seat of Dickson:
Figures from the seat of Dickson. The current count is 53% to Ali France of the Labor party, 47% to Peter Dutton of the LNP. It's early in the count, but it's fucking delicious.

Comfest time! Saw Rosie Jones tonight - she is spectacularly filthy, highly recommend 💖
An ad in the Melbourne international comedy festival guide for Rosie Jones. Her show is called "I Can't Tell What She's Saying". There's a pic of her in the ad - she's laughing with all teeth showing, and she's wearing an awesome shirt with a lobster print on it. Her favourite things are gravy and tits, but that's something you find out at the show, not by seeing this ad.

We are Sydney!! The queerest Sydney FC!! @sydneyfootballclub.bsky.social thank you for making rainbow merch and winning on Pride Round 💙

Green Day in Melbourne last night! Dookie, American Idiot, a brand new bisexual anthem (Bobbysox!!) and Time of Your Life 💚
Green Day on stage in Melbourne. Pic from the right of stage. Billie Joe and his delightfully scruffy hair are on the giant screens on both sides of stage. He's a 53 year old punk and he barely looks 21. He's either fae or got a beauty secret people would kill for. Tre Cool rocking both the drums and some spectacular blue eyeshadow. Mike Dirnt doing a rock star pose - body of the bass on his hip and holding the neck out at full reach. The orange prison jumpsuit he's wearing just completes the look. Close-up on noted queer pixie Billie Joe as confetti falls around him. He's looking up in wonder with his arms wide.

Feel like pure shit just want them back @sydneyfootballclub.bsky.social
Cortnee Vine and Jada Whyman, both looking happy on their Sydney FC kits. They are both so good that they're playing in overseas clubs...and Sydney FC is Suffering without them.

Introduce yourself with four albums (and reaffirm that your tastes parked the bus in the mid 2000s).
Fall Out Boy's "From Under The Cork Tree" album cover. Fleetwood Mac's "Greatest Hits" album cover. The Used's "In Love And Death" album cover. Machine Gun Fellatio's "Paging Mr Strike" album cover.

We are now the proud owners of a 1.6m skeleton. It represents both Halloween and what we'll look like when the Tigers finally win another premiership.
A life-sized plastic skeleton sits in an IKEA rocking chair. The skeleton has a red blanket draped over their lap to hopefully entice our cats into a spoOoOoky pic. The skeleton wears a beanie featuring the logo of proud threepeat NRL wooden spoon recipients, the Wests Tigers.

The feeling when you had an alarmingly upset belly and now you're completely trollied on The Good Shit and you don't even care that your parents are laughing at you.
