Oh shit, is the election tomorrow? And the ballot has to be completed on or before it? Even with the constant spam texts that snuck up on me. I’ve been really sick for weeks.
I guess I just do it tonight and mail it tomorrow, and hopefully even with the weekend it arrives within 13 days.
Edit: I’ve filled out the ballot slip and voted above the line with 6 candidates. Already second guessing my choices but it’s done.
Tomorrow someone comes so they can witness my signature and take me to post it.
And if it is too late then they can just fine me. I don’t care. I’m struggling severely with my health and am doing my best.
If it’s just starting you can wedge a little bit of cotton wool underneath the corner of the nail to lift it clear of your toe, which will allow it to grow out normally.
If it’s a proper ingrown you want to douse it in Betadine and get to the doctor. Trying to do things yourself can be an infection risk
Tooth brushing isn’t going well so far. Melbcat’s gums are inflamed and sore so she pulls away. I’ve ordered some oral gel that can be applied with swabs (their version of mouthwash) which should hopefully soothe the gingivitis down so I can go back to trying the brush.
The dental cleaning food and treats all contain chicken so I’m trying to give her pieces of freeze dried meat as treats instead of the ones that contain sugar. (Which is otherwise the only kind she can eat.)
Edit. I’ve let her taste the beef flavoured pet toothpaste from the brush and done a few token swipes at the right front fangs where the gums don’t seem sore. (Issues are at the back.) Hopefully I can do that sometimes to get her used to it while waiting for the gel
I need to clean but am not feeling great. It almost feels like it doesn’t matter too -_-
Yeah, someone else offered an explanation that made more sense and I think I was definitely wrong on the internet. Which is annoying because normally I’m the one being really picky about sources and reading comprehension.
All I can say is that I haven’t been sleeping and have been vomiting today. The past few days have been rough so I wasn’t thinking too clearly when trying to get something that seemed important out there.
Also I’m a bit defensive (when normally more chill) because others (not on Lemmy) have been stirring me up. 😑
Ah man, I’m getting nitpicked over a news title when the site wouldn’t offer a suggested one for the link.
Like damn dudes, I don’t perfectly understand something that doesn’t apply to me. But I do know a law changing that could invalidate a lot of drivers licenses overnight might be something people should know about? Preferably before they get pulled over?
If I made a small mistake in the title they can go read the article that will tell them the exact info.
A title suggestion refused to pop up so I tried to paraphrase my imperfect understanding of this.
“The EDR allowed international citizens permanently residing in Australia to transfer their overseas licence to an Aussie one without sitting further exams. However, this will end in most states and territories across Australia on Wednesday.”
I can change it but honestly the finer points of what this article is saying are confusing to me - someone born here who does not drive.
A law just changed overnight so I threw this article out there so any affected people can know.

Yeah, having high speed rails between hubs could help with urban sprawl and housing affordability, job deserts… (if that project actually gets delivered)
Plenty of people would want that. So many.
But it’s the ‘wholesome’ foot in the door for some very nasty stuff. “See, we’re the ones that care about your housing and your jobs! Now look at who is taking them away from you!”
And not everyone will spot that :( Particularly desperate lower income people in times of recession. Particularly if the message is delivered repetitively in simple words and ‘telling it how it is’.
I sure hope he publicly falls on his trumpet. But yeah. Nobody is immune to going down a pipeline.
“Fascism arrives as your friend.
It will restore your honour,
make you feel proud,
protect your house,
give you a job,
clean up the neighbourhood”
Culture wars are already being and have been imported to Australia from America and now also the UK. All I can hope is that it doesn’t get as big here.
Ugh. As if the texts weren’t enough I got an 🍑🎺 ad that was dogwhistling against the acknowledgement of country and passive aggressively doing the ‘all lives Australians matter’ crap. And openly saying that they intend to emulate Rump.
I have an old android around here… when I find the charger I can install Revance or whatever the latest thing is and watch videos with that.
Edit: I am feeling kind of scared that people will buy it though, especially when they hammer on really salient issues like housing and cost of living and offer a scapegoat.
Do it, a warning gives you the chance to start medicating pup ahead of time (some recommend taking it a few days before a stressful event) and make sure he’s inside when the noise begins.
I’m not sure how effective it would be on a kennel without a door but you can buy stick on soundproofing foam intended for musicians. Perhaps try it inside an enclosed space like built in wardrobe or a ‘litterbox cabinet’ so there’s a quiet place to hide?
I remember as a kid there were syrups at the milk bar - we must have been lucky as ours had blue heaven
