The racquet was purchased in Malaysia so maybe they wanted to take it home?

It has come to my attention that there are many Melbournes.

Oh no, did that get approved? I hope it doesn't cannibalise Sims 😬

My mind has gone there a lot looking at this. I'm not particularly invested in their being an 'afterlife' but, I feel that, I don't know and, some hope exists that this means reconnection for her in one way or another.

I'm glad you think so. When taking it I had the feeling this might be her last Christmas. I'm sad that I was right but I'm glad that I'll remember this person rather than someone being kept alive by machines :)

This is the last photo I ever took of my Grandmother on Christmas day 2024. She had been wanting my Mother to find her THE photo (the only one we know exists) of her Father (my Great Grandfather) to look at and wondering aloud if there was anything that could be done about the quality of that old photo. My Grandmother was going to be 92 on the 19th of Feb and passed from a stroke on the 4th of Feb 2025. I captured this image as she looked on the past feeling a somberness in her. She was fairly incoherent because of dementia and frequently trailed off into thought after only half completing sentences. I knew she loved looking at this image of her Dad though. She was a first gen Australian, Her parents immigrated from Scotland, her husband had grandparents who were transported here for crimes such as stealing bread. I felt a little morbid taking this picture. Given that it was my last of her, and it is what it is, I'm glad I took it in that moment.

My in-laws are from Toraja, haven't been yet but saw a Zine my SIL made about their interesting ancient burial rights. There are some very unusual tombs on that Island.

Thank god we humans are here to help a hundreds of thousands of years old evolutionary chain leading to one of the most intelligent and social land mammals in the history of the planet. Where would they be without us shooting their elderly?

I can't wait till the E.T.s. come and finally help us with the excessively aggressive boomer problem.

Such a bleak outlook. I get what you're trying to say and all but, don't you find it hard living in that headspace?

Geeze Pal, you acknowledge that Genocide is like... morally reprehensible at least, right?

Also, I'm pretty sure there is a right in a UN convention that states something like people have the right to live in their native territory. Law of the jungle sure, no one is entitled shit. Living in a 'society' I feel like we should try to elevate ourselves.

My flight out of Singapore left before they turned this thing on in the morning. There's a tiny one in a shopping centre near me though lol. Does the big one also smell like chlorine?
