thanks, i'm gonna go and buy me a book of pithy one-liners to compensate

i had one of those once, it was from the 60s, i think one-liners were different back then

this flat went troppo, 'er indoors was a complete mess

I was skyping with my gf in Melbourne and she had me check she wasn't imagining it. I didn't realise Melbourne had earthquakes as often as it seems to.

best quake-related gag i saw: "My first thought was 'Godzilla' and not 'earthquake', which is troubling"

i thought it was our house disappearing into the sinkhole growing beneath it tbqh

Im amazed ours didnt collapse like a pancake. It is the shittiest-built cheap 80s building ive ever seen.

It *did* start mnaking a bunch of odd "settling" noises over the next hour or 2, tho, but I couldnt tell if it always does that and I just tuned it out, or what (cupboard frames making low kinda crack/pop settling sounds)

qld just introduced a state bill to repeal surrogacy rights for singles and same-sex couples

i really really fucking hate this country

there's a reason the world thinks we're regressive fucking neanderthal bigots, it's because we're regressive fucking neanderthal bigots

things are going to get very very worse up here, that freak is making daily proclamations of his plans for us. it's a horrible preview of the next federal government.

huge hugs

I know people ~say~ this without acting, but if abbott gets in and pulls the same shit nationwide I will actually find another country

he must have some strong plans given the psychotic effort he's put into getting labor out.

you can bet a huge amount of federal coalition (and also qld lnp obv) funding comes from the bigoted christian groups

on top of everything else that's wrong with that picture, so very many christians want nothing to do with those bigot factions

/!\ TAXI RAEPS: FORTHCOMING /!\

yeah that's a bit... weird

if the taxi lobby wanted to be taken seriously they should probably pay their drivers a decent living wage instead of sucking all the profits out for themselves, knahmean

Not that I used them that often to start with but 13cabs have lost my bizness now thanks to that unamusing campaign (tho really we only have the Age to go on - has anyone seen the poster in action? I havent)

I think I personally know three girls that have been sexually assaulted in regular cabs, so I can't see how this is any worse.

Yeah thats my thinking. Same here. And how many assaults in hire cars have their ever been. Any? I wouldnt know, but somehow I doubt it.

I thank cthulu or whoever you like that ive never been myself, but I have sure had plenty of very unsavoury comments or questions from taxi drivers before. Are you married, why not, good lookin lady like you, you need to start having babies, do you live with your boyfriend, bla bla bla uuurghh.

yeah i've lost count of women i know who have been propositioned by taxi drivers, it's pretty damn common
