    Went out for dins last night with fam + SIL. Nice place AUGELLO’S in balwyn. Place was packed and the staff did an incredible job managing that. Good pizza!

    But turns out bro and SIL are trump supporters which came as a shock to the rest of us.

    Back in the day around the kitchen table we’d get into heated arguments about Labor/LNP. Old man is heavy rusted on LNP (as in he’d leave the room if people we shitting on their policy setting). He just sat there in disbelief.

    But this didn’t turn into an argument. Just the sound of eyebrows being raised.

    Everyone is entitled to their views… but yeah… wow. They’re well educated aswell.

    I’m not really the type to get upset with views but their views on the rona and now this definitely makes it difficult to think any better of them.

      As a total outsider just based on what you’ve described about your bro and SIL over the last year or two… I am not surprised that they are Trump supporters. Selfishness is often correlated with that category of people. I’m so sorry you got another blow to your relationship with them…

    Just wanted to thank everyone for their rather raw sharing of feelings yesterday. I realized late last night what my biggest fear was: that something so obvious to me wasn’t obvious to a majority of people. It was rather isolating and sobering. upon reflection, ya’ll sharing your shock or grief or whatever helped a LOT. So thank you.

      Just take one day at a time and the chance to focus on other things.

      While it’s half a world away it hit me harder than I thought as well.

      Treat yourself and make yourself feel better.

      I still feel raw and upset tbh, like a horrible heavy weight sitting in my lower abdomen.

      I don’t know how to get away from all the terrible news to come over the next 4 years. But I think I might start by actually following through and deleting the other place, and then just focusing purely on my own life and this place here lol

      You always have a space to commiserate and find company here, this is a bastion.

      Mickey is a shoulder cat as well?!!?!? How much more perfect and lovable can this little man be (aside from the occasional leg chomp)
