Alright I’m done.
The set is practiced and recorded. Time for some gigs again. I’ve got 20 mins worth of songs which is plenty.
Plus now I have a demo reel for band auditions which I’m going to get back into next week.
Ah man. I’m really looking forward to this. I’ve missed it so much.
Have a great night everyone ❤️
That’s awesome. Be sure to share a bandcamp or something soon. I’ve plotted some things out but I need to find the time to properly record them and try put something out
If you need a hand let me know man. I’ve been doing this for a very long time and am happy to help 🙂
I’ll let you know when I have some demos where everything is actually in time and you can tell me what you think
Sounds good to me man!
How is it almost 3pm. I did however accidentally figure out something for singing I’ve been trying to do for literal years lol
Also, the eyes say it all
Lazy Sundays are fluffybutt approved.
Which is good because I just woke up from a two hour nap.
And now for something completely different

But I thought you shouldn’t mix whites and Colours 🤔
He abolished segregation, starting with his own coat.
next you’re going to tell me he likes warmth
He does, but it leeches his colour into his whites
in another instance this would be criminal, but a cat can do no wrong
they say dogs go to heaven and cats go to hell, fortunately i love cats
Oh Mickey you’re so fine you don’t understand
You take me by the heart with the beans of your hands
His neopolitan beans give me life
His beans bless you with holy feline grace
i love how he hugs back
He was dream-hunting in the last pic, completely zonked out and twitching. I think his dream-hunting was ultimately successful 😂
a dreaming cat is the best entertainment, especially when you see them dream eating
OMG THE PAWS 😍🥰
I love kissing them. I know I shouldn’t, but he always starts purring and kneading when I do.
I have discovered he also enjoys it when I give his belly kisses. Hands are for kicking when touching the belly, but my face is what he wants apparently.
Not happy when I blow raspberries tho heheheh
My neighbor made this cake. Everything is edible except the doll. Simply stunning. It’s just a “hobby” lol.
I know breakfast is meant to be healthy, but…
There is physical health, and there is mental health. When you think about it, nearly all foods fall into one or the other category. Health is health.
that is two food groups, is healthy
Sunday is the day for sweet breakfasts
Do not be tempted by the green apple candles at IKEA. They smell like burning plastic when lit.
Synthetic shitty candles are a recipe for scent-induced headaches 🤮
Reading this is making me sneeze
Never light them. Stick them in a window sill in full sun to melt
Happy Daylight Savings to all who celebrate 🍾
it is? If I didn’t have a mechanical wall clock then I wouldn’t even have known
Betting the oven, microwave etc will never even know too
They are never right anyway
Currently fighting off an emerging migraine. Taken panadol and nurofen.
Now all I’ve got left is to pray and maybe a heat pack on my neck/shoulders and maybe a coffee.
🙏
Hope you’re feeling better. Migraine not a great way to spend a Sunday…
Just back from the Pharaoh. Amazing exhibition. How they did stonework like that is mindboggling. Seeing it up close was awesome.
I would like to take a moment to claim credit for my forebears work.
They did good :) was crazy to see just how accurate they were. I have two sheds full of modern tools and I couldn’t 1/100 of that.
I often hit my hand with the hammer when trying to drive a nail in lol
That feels good!
At the NGV? I was tossing up going to this.
Yep NGV. They did it really well.
Apparently I needed almost 14 hours of sleep. Feel fucking amazing though lol
Don’t dead open inside 😎 🌷 🌊

New pastime: leaving brutally honest feedback when companies spam you with feedback demands. Just rant at them about the unethicalness of their business models, and outline how their entire existence is essentially predicated on exploiting people in crappy circumstances.
They conveniently disappear if you leave your email :)
You could totally automate that with a bit of dev (serverless with AI).
Question for you, market research for me: How much would you pay for that kind of service? Is it a million dollars a month? Please say yes; I want to retire.
An hour, STOLEN
It’s not stolen, it’s a compulsory savings scheme. It does suck there is no interest paid.
Unless we finally get to live on this time all of the time.
You can get it back in about 6 months if you try and stay alive or move to QLD?
We have now entered capitalist time
Great turnout at the rally today. I love going to these every week, its overstimulating as hell a bit but I feel completely safe in the crowd. All the singing and dancing and kind faces.
I feel less safe around guns which the cops were running around flaunting but hey, can’t have everything.
I dislike you have been down voted. We are allowed to protest here, and as long as you’re not a Nazi, I have no issue with it.
I also don’t understand what protesting in Melbourne is going to do for the Palestinians. Aus isn’t the big manufacturer of weapons being sent to Israel or Palestine. I’m not saying you should t go, I just don’t get what it is trying to achieve here.
I get protesting in Britain, since they sort of set this up historically, but also wars and conflict over the holy land have been ongoing since, like, before Jesus. So. What does Australia have to do with this?
I do think there are way more Australian-relevant issues to protest - such as the rise of Nazis, cost of living, price gouging, and housing affordability, and the rights of First Nations.
I do not agree with either Hamas nor Netanyahu, I dont want innocent people to be used as collateral damage.
But again, what will protesting the war do here, in Australia, in Melbourne?
Not trying to start a fight, I just don’t understand the goals.
The Palestinian struggle mirrors the struggle against colonialism in our country. That’s why the protests always include chants of “always was always will be”. Colonialism is a worldwide system after all, its not just in Palestine or Australia. It’s the same struggle everywhere, and we need to fight it everywhere if we want it gone to the dustbin of history where it belongs alongside all other forms of racism.
Our government also does have the ability to pressure other governments. We have the ability to change things and improve things despite being a middle power. Even just condemning the genocide would be a massive move that could change things, it could encourage other countries to condemn it and stop exporting products that help it along.
Those other issues are issues and we should be rallying about those too. Someone just has to organise and lead it. On the Nazis, these rallies are anti-nazi too. The groups involved are broad leftist groups who are very much against Nazism and everything it stands for, like colonialism.
On top of that is just solidarity. If even one photo of the rally makes it to someone having a hard time in Palestine or Lebanon or wherever else and maybe improves their day, then every rally will have been worth it. I want it to be known that despite being on the other side of the world, I care.
“An injury to one is an injury to all.” Is something I take very seriously. As long as there are oppressed people out there, none of us are free.
Also the benefit of my account being on Lemmy.ml is that down votes don’t federate between instances so idk how many people downvote me, I only see one or two.
Makes sense to me, thank you for explaining! 🙏🏼
May we see an end to all settler colonialism and move forward to a peaceful existence with each other.
It might not be in our lifetimes, but one day good will win out. It’ll be great.
these rallies are anti-nazi too.
That may have been the goal originally, but I’ve definitely seen more swastikas than I would like…
There’s some bad actors who have latched on, maybe
Nazis aren’t really going to rallies where the chants include “always was, always will be!” “Aboriginal land” or “no justice, no peace, no racist police” because they support the cause. But they might rock up to agitate and divert media attention away from them.
Any amount of swasticas are too many though. I got a cheapo kogan thermal printer so I can cover them on the fly with pictures of my cat. Haven’t actually had to use it for that yet though.
I’ve seen them. Remember I live in the CBD, so I see basically any protest that occurs.
It’s not many, but since (like you) my preferred number of Nazis would be zero, I find it a tad concerning
Nazis love to be where they aren’t wanted. (On earth)
I agree, we should protest Shia imperialism/colonialism. Shia Hezbollah has slaughtered 10,000s of Sunni democracy protestors in Syria. Shia Hezbollah persecuted and slaughtered Lebanese Christians. Shia has slaughtered and denied rights to women in Iran. Shia Hamas kills Druze and Bedouins and Christians in Israel. Shia wants to have a caliphate and destroying Israel and all infidels, including all Sunni, is part of that.
Yes. Extremists are bad on both sides…?
Imagine if our Governor General and Prime Minister were murdered and a religiously motivated gang took over.
Lebanon deserves a democratically elected government, not a corrupt gang.
Flaunting?
Oh boy.
Brandishing?
Guns are a thing you can’t really wear without flaunting.
A gun in it’s holster is not brandished and is not considered a threat.
A gun in its holster carries the implication of it no longer being there. Its a threat, and I feel threatened. Though I grew up around cops who were much more verbal with their threats of violence, the quiet ones make me nervous too.
I feel threatened when leaders chant River to the Sea and the followers scream at me “Kill them” .
You’re arguing at a strawman and I don’t know why. I’m clearly not going to step in to defend a scarecrow.
I personally experienced it and wrote about it here on the day it happened. Was in October last year in front of the State Library.
Or are you saying my lived experienced is not valid?
Yeah nah. Flaunting would be waving the thing above their head. Ok the show’s over now. Home time.
Imagine having 10,000 missiles launched at Melbourne. That would be terrifying.
