....I'm very clearly completely asleep and not doing brainthink, appreciate your pointing that out. You're right about noise-cancelling earphones, although cost is always an issue, but yeah
That's a damn good point that hadn't occured to me, and that definitely speaks to the privilege of being (mostly) able-bodied. That said though, wouldn't a hearing loop or similar achieve the same purpose without the headache?
Not free, but I swear by Scrivener as a word processor - I've been using it for both my novel and Uni essays for years and it is just a total lifesaver, as it makes document management so much easier. Strongly recommend
Anyone have any clue what the fuck PTV were thinking when they added the "stand clear" voice. There's a tone for stop buttons, we don't need a voice to tell us it's stopping. We can see the doors opening, we don't need a voice to tell us that they are and to stand clear. The doors always close immediately after opening, so we sure as hell don't need a voice repeating that the doors are closing. We don't need a tone to emphasise this point. Especially when the bus is stopping every. Fucking. Stop. Anyway.
Yeah, been on PT for an hour and a half for a trip that should've been an hour, and that voice has played every time. I have a headache. Fuck PTV.
This is a shit outcome. It's not surprising, but it's shit. To the Indigenous Australians amongst us: I'm sorry. I hope one day Australia will show you the respect and care you deserve.
Ultimately, I'm angry. Angry at this country, really. We need to be better than this.
We need to fucking do something about our media. That's the problem. Misinformation and propaganda outlets control almost all of the media, and tbh I think News Corp needs to be completely shuttered.
The No vote will be a terrible outcome for the Indigenous Australians, and the children of colonisers irresponsibly ignored their wishes because of a perceived "risk".
When every constitutional law expert has been ignored, then you know there's a real problem
Anxiety right before work; fighting off a panic attack. I suddenly feel like I'm in real danger of homelessness in the immediate future, related to my apparent inability to get a damn grad role.
I agree, although the anxiety doesn't. I'm always feeling like there's more I can be doing. And whilst it is true, I need to learn to actually deal with that feeling without hating myself
