    So @[email protected] posited an unorthodox application and orientation of onion to a sausage in bread, whereby cutting the onion in rings and encapsulating the snag results in very anchored onion in a sausage in bread situation. Useless Modern god was onion goes under as did the stud, GoonSeagoon was to the side I was on the fence but generally it goes on top. Or so I believed.

    Ravens’ method has proven to me tonight that us mere mortals have been doing it wrong the whole time. it is now a 360 degree experience.

      This looks like work. Put the onions underneath, on top, I don’t care. It all goes in the same hole.

    My brain is fried from speaking in Japanese all night with old acquaintances I haven’t seen in 12 years. But it was good to do something different. I decided at the last minute to pay for everyone’s meals because I so rarely get interstate/international visitors and I had chosen the place to eat. No regrets, it felt good to pay it forward and leave them with a pleasant surprise. I’m sure they’ll do the same when I visit them.

    We saw a group at the restaurant (quietly) singing happy birthday for their friend - one of the people I was with looked on wistfully and commented on what a lovely group of friends that is. It made me think about how some things we take for granted are less commonly expressed in other cultures. But we all want that feeling of connection

    TW suicide

    Man… I am so deeply in crisis. I’ve massively avoided talking about just how severe things have been living here but with the crime and untreated mental illness/substance issues ramping up again it’s really affected my mental health.

    I have really severe ptsd developed over the years from repetitive harassment and stalking, attempted or semi-success break-in’s while I’ve been home and credible physical threats. (The pocket I live in is a hotspot for untreated mental illness and substance abuse issues with a lot of resulting crime, and I’m considered an easy target due to my size, disability, isolation and gender. The cops do little to nothing because it’s so entrenched.)

    It is still constantly being triggered by further threatening incidents with no end in sight. I just don’t feel safe living here and yet I’ve been trying to escape for a very long time with no luck.

    People are trying to help me but it’s getting nowhere soon. I’m afraid that my physical health is going to give out, my mental health will end things for me, or my luck will run out and I’ll no longer be able to avoid the threatened physical attacks.

    I may be forced to move from public housing into dedicated disability accommodation or mental health housing but I don’t know how long that could take or if there would be any suitable places.

    I’m using all my coping strategies but they’re just not enough against this.

    I have a psychologist but she seems to have hit the limits of what she can do for me and is now giving really minimising and toxically positive responses that are incredibly stressful and unhelpful. There is a secondary support worker I have who is much the same and I’m getting so stressed out by them that I’m just canceling appointments and withdrawing.

    The psych ward is not an option. I explored that option years ago in response to intense suicidal ideation/planning due to this and found it is both ineffective and genuinely dangerous for an AFAB even somewhere with a ‘women’s ward’.

    I can’t afford the private rental market, can’t go to any family, and can’t cope with share housing so there’s nothing anyone here can do for me.

    I desperately don’t want to die but without safe stable housing I really don’t see a future for myself.

      Rather than projecting far into the future which you can’t predict and can’t fully control focus for now on making it through hour by hour.

      Ask yourself, can I make it through the next hour? If yes, keep going.

      If your current residence doesn’t feel safe, while you can’t flee from it completely, stepping away from it might be helpful. For example go to the library, hell even a shopping mall. You don’t need to buy anything.

        That would be nice but I feel genuinely unsafe to go out (for good reason) so not really the best suggestion.

        I have been frequently sexually harassed in public (yes, even in the library) and the closest shopping centre is at the epicentre of the roughest part of town. I’m not interested in ‘overcoming’ my aversion to going out in public while living here, soz. The people here are trash and it takes a toll on me both physically and mentally.

        I will absolutely be working on expanding my comfort zone if I make it to somewhere better.

        Thanks for the rest of it. I’m doing the best I can to make it through bit by bit.

            I can live with that. For some unknown reason I can’t make music during the day. I’ve tried many, many times and it just doesn’t work for some reason.

            I’ve tried 7am, 11am, 3pm and I pick up the guitar and fuck around for a few minutes then put it down out of frustration.

            Plus during the week I go to bed at 8pm lol so this is a treat 😂

                I have chronic insomnia (been about 8 years) so I have to take a sleeping pill.

    Hanging out on the back porch eating lunch with a mishcat while she rolls around on the concrete like a fat beige whore, finish up, do my usual call whistle and she obediently trots back inside.

    promptly hear from over the fence “Bloody hell, how did you manage that??” And apparently we was watched.

      I had a nice bit of time in the sun. Had a chat with my neighbour about our fence which is on a lean and threatening my water tank.

      She is lovely and has lived there for 51 years.

      I think a fence repair or replacement will be out of my pocket.
