I love my cat so much. I wish he could understand me just enough to hear me say it.
he absolutely does
Cats can understand human speech, similarly to dogs. They know 💜
My boyz wiggle their tails when I say their respective names. They know. 😺😺
I say I love you to Melbcat or kiss her little head and she purrs at either, so they know. Also the cuddling lets them know.

Hun. Not after a relationship. Just a root. Urrrt no. Kick.
He understands, he just doesn’t want to accept it. It’s not about swaying you it’s about making you so uncomfortable that you’ll say yes just to get it “over with”.
He doesn’t care about your feelings or consent. And do not let him into your house again.
This.
It is such a good idea to have your own transport arranged to get home
No means yes or possibly yes to some people, no matter how clear you are.
No is yes because some men get off on non-consent as well. Ugh UGH
THIS.
be so careful
What is up with men who can’t take a hint? Unfortunately not uncommon with some meetup groups :(
Yikes.
This guy was being wilfully oblivious, ignoring all boundaries and just trying to take advantage ⛳️
He thought you’d be swayed by his confidence.
Maybe next time don’t ask boundary challenged guys in to meet the cats
Ugh I have no idea why you are downvoted - I agree wholeheartedly with this.
Do not allow men into your home who have already ignored your consent. Not victim blaming, but people perceived as women must be careful in today’s world what with the utter disrespect and violence towards AFABs/women/femmes.
exactly, don’t invite trouble in to your house
What’s for dinner, mum?
Poor man’s ceviche
aww, they are adorbs
They are!
Delicious!
They need to get a little bigger yet
Long day… cranky… not a drop of moisture all day, but I just managed to miss the rain and got to come home to silky kitty and a bit of silliness (=much-needed energy expenditure) with the feather toy. Thank god I have food in the fridge… rest my tired soul with the sound of rain and a nourishing meal. I’m spent.
It’s mandatory Fun 👏🏻 Family 💕Friday 🎊!!! Team Group Hug!
HR policy expressly forbids any shows of affection in any form. Now please, go back to your desks and continue to sob quietly.
Remember, there’s no I in team, but there is a U in unemployed!!!
Happy FriYay 😉 everyoneeeee 🤗 thanks for all your GREAT efforts this week gang! 🙏 Get some well earned rest 🛌 this weekend so we can all be full of Zing ⚡on Monday, ready to smash our targets 🎯 next week! 🥰
I am hearing this in smarmy American blonde
The male version has a loud comedic tie, the female an impractical manicure in something named shimmer
No touchy! I bite.
Please be warmly advised that you may only eat during your meal break 🙂
Hiss!

Fed the kitty this morning and we went back to bed, cuddling sweetly… she stretched her arm, dropped it and punctured a single secretly sharp claw into my eyelid like a fishhook.
After a delay of refusing to get up it was washed with antibacterial hand soap and dabbed with Betadine so fingers crossed. I have a spare box of antibiotics ready to go.
But yeah, that was literally half a centimetre from my actual eye.
Reaching out
Touching me, clawing youSweeeeet Mother of Jesus
Fuck fuck fuck 🎶🎶 Bedtimes never felt so sharp
My WhiteBoy used to wake us up by delicately inserting a single claw into a nostril
You can pick your nose but you can’t pick your alarm clock
Zelazny quote about many legged furry alarm clock
My dog was having cuddlyboos on my chest and he reached out and touched my bottom teeth with his nails. 🤮
That makes me feel sick because I can’t have anything go near my eye ( like I can’t wear contacts because I freak out about it )
My painful cat encounter story is, I was trying to save someone’s cat in a tree so I climbed way up and grabbed it.
It got scared and wriggled and thrashed around so much that it fell…almost. It managed to hook a single claw into my forearm and was just hanging there…stretching my skin.
I could only freak out and scream and shake it off. Of course it landed on its feet and just sauntered away.
It’s ok, it was just the top eyelid near my eyelashes. Nothing actually went in my eye.
Yup, they’ll do that. Cerys sliced my left nipple in half once.
Keep an eye on that shit. Uh. Pun unintended
I clip her claws but she always secretly sharpens just a single one so I don’t notice. It’s her stiletto.
Wondering about those colourful nail caps but they seem like they’d cause distress
Edit: And yes, I’m watching it because litterbox paws and will start the box of antibiotics that’s on hand if anything changes. It would be a nasty spot for an infection
Tbh i just gave up. It’s what happens when you live with a cat.
Considering sleeping with eye protection now
Congratulations Mumma and Pappa Peregrine Falcon on the safe arrival of chicky no.3 only minutes ago. Cheers 🍺
However some of youse here have disappointed me greatly today. Lucky I don’t hold a grudge. Cheers 🍺
What have I done now 🥺
Nothing. You’re lovely the way you are. ♥
And the chick’s are a lovely fluffy grey. Much like the white tshirts of most of the dt.
Oh bang! Spot on sista!
Haha I came here to make sure you knew! So cute
Yeah I watched it being hatched on the big screen. A bit of pre game entertainment.
Dad just came back with a food hamper.
Tonight it’s singing practice. I cancelled my plans so I could have the evening to myself to get my voice back to a usable state.
I miss performing so much. I just love the vulnerability that you feel when you’re giving a part of yourself to strangers for a short while. Putting yourself out there.
Music had been such an important part of my life. Every step of the way music has kept me going when I felt I didn’t want to. I could always rely on making music for catharsis.
And I think that’s what makes it such an important part of my life. I feel like everything is bottled up unless I’m playing regularly.
/end over sharing rant
😭 we love you fluffybutt
Can I ask what your favourite song is to sing?
This one. I fucked up in the middle but it has the most meaning to me. https://on.soundcloud.com/hY4gZ
Just had a company meeting about raises. I don’t quality because I just started, but they gave everyone:
2%
You should have seen everyone’s face. The mood in the meeting plummeted instantly.
I’m expecting some resignations in the next few weeks.
The beatings will continue until … every employee is 18 and doesn’t know any better
We love an effective pay cut
Exactly. I’m staying for 12 months and grabbing the certs I need then I’m out.
That’s barely covers inflation these days. It just make sure you’re taking home the same realised income as the year before
I’m here for 12 months to up skill. If I get a real promotion and it’s equivalent pay rise, cool. If not, other plans will come into play.
The only way to get a pay rise these days is jump ship, it seems. Unfortunately
100%. That’s worked for me whilst I’ve been in corporate.
That’s how it has become these days. Companies don’t invest in their people like they used to, so you have to become the master of your own career
Wow! And I used to get upset about my 5% yearly raise at my last job.
winds howling
Blowing pollens directly up my nostrils
having trouble breathing here
Had to pick up a few bins that had ended up on the road. They were all terribly drunk.

Looks like rained
Clothes are drying in record time!!!
Ive got the wash going.
I’m hoping I can still make it before the sun goes away!
Today was all about mixing whites and colours. Two large loads. Done. Fuck the labels and warnings.
I have never ever separated clothes by colours or anything, just throw it all in.
Nothing bad has ever come from that, even throwing new colourful clothes into a wash with old white clothes. Never had colour leech, nothing has ever broke or whatnot.
But it may also have to do with the fact that I wash everything in cold water, not hot 🤷🏼♀️
Dyes have greatly improved the past 20 years
Ah that’s also good to know!
😠
Stay mad lol it’s worked for me so far and it will continue to work for me until it doesn’t 😂
I’m waiting for one normal person to tell me they do things correctly. Just one and I’ll be happy.
👋 here! Not normal but I do know how to separate my loads.
All I can offer you is that I don’t put StepOne undies in the dryer, they get hung up to dry per the label haha
😠
I did the same thing. For whatever reason my whites stay white so not much to complain about.
😠
😛
and then i dry everything in high heat, so far all good
My whites are still white…those labels are full of lies!!!
You’re an animal!
Suns gone but it’s sort of warm outside.
I wonder if it’s still worth putting something outside?
I have never separated whites and colours
No need when 98% of your wardrobe is black
I have been exposed.
I resemble this comment
😠
I was flash flooded down here on the bellarine. Holy fuck I’ve never seen rain like that. Every gutter was overflowing. Here was the start:
Been spending the last 2 hrs having an intimate conversation with a bucket. I have not seen this level of water down here before.
we had 10 drops and one flash of lightening
It was pissing down hard in Heidelberg but only for 20 minutes or so. It looked like the Bellarine and Mornington got all the extreme stuff.
Hope you don’t have much damage.
Well that’s a first. Found a stick insect on my subwoofer. I don’t think I’ve actually seen one before in the wild:
It has been put back outside on a tree. But glad to see there’s another real junglist saying wicked.
This most definitely calls for a rave choon:
Considering it was on the subby… Suicide bassline!
Looks like a rude boy with long limb by limbs.
Today is reports day. Excel and PowerBI can fuck right off lol
1 down, 4 to go!
shudders in solidarity
Speaking to my therapist last night. We were talking about my anxious mind craving distractions and the amount of screen time I’m racking up on my phone. He was talking about just sitting, no noise or anything and just taking in whats going on around us. I’ve never been so proud of myself cause I stopped short of shouting “RAWDOGING! Gen Z call it rawdogging when you just sit on a flight and do nothing!”
Fuck i’m weird ey.
I’m looking forward to seeing Seagoon translate today’s word RAWDOGING into emojis in tomorrow’s thread.
🌭
🚫🎈🍆
I’m 47. This is not an option yet.
So am I, but I got fixed. 😺
😂
Roar dog? 🦁🐕
Dunno. We’ll have to wait and see.
They call it rawdogging? (I ask, as a Gen Z person)
Also hard relate. I’ve noticed I’ve been watching YouTube and scrolling through Reddit to try to numb anxious feelings.
I hope they don’t call it rawdogging because I know it as another thing.
Lol we all know it as the other thing 😂😂
Been awhile since I’ve heard it been used.
Thought maybe I had forgotten.
😂
Reddit only seems to exacerbate my anxieties. Too much bad news coming from the world, condensed into a toxic cesspool of misogyny, racism, and arguing in bad faith.
I prefer YouTube, but avoid the comments.
And yeah apparently some people use “rawdogging” to describe going without their phone/music/whatever when travelling or doing something - which is just… No.
Rawdogging is a gross term to use colloquially in those situations. But language is language and youth will create slang as they always have done since language became something utilised by humans for communication.
This is something I’ve been working on for about 18 months now, and it definitely helps.
When I get home from work my phone goes in a different room and I don’t touch it at all. No laptop or iPad either. I usually read once our 5 year old is in bed and the dishes and chores are done and I get the chance to sit down.
I flew to North Qld and back a few weeks ago, no devices or screens.
My ‘online’ time is during breaks/lunch at work and that’s it. I deleted Instagram a couple of years ago and haven’t had Facebook since 2008.
I drive to work and back with NOTHING playing, no podcasts or music or anything, 3-4 hours of driving per day.
Being ‘in the moment rather’ than being attached to a screen or ‘content’ has really helped. Although I’ve found it DOES make me irrationally angry when I walk around (or even am at other family member’s houses) and everyone is glued to their screens. Not to mention the at least 1 person a month I see watching YouTube while driving on the freeway…
