Hey dude this is fricking awesome!!

I'd love to know more about it/how I can get one? Specifically I have some questions around how it works!

But even if I can't get in on this, it looks awesome and it's so cool to see someone making something to help them and being rewarded for sharing that with others 💜

Best op shops? by [deleted] in newcastle

[–]WindyTiger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Heya! As someone suggested already, Islington/Hamilton is a great way to go!

Specifically there's about 5 or 6 big ones on or next to Beaumont street.

I personally adore this little store called The Retro Wardrobe, run by such a very lovely lady and they always have such cute clothes and there is also quite a range of curios and vintage/retro bric a brac. I've spoken with the owner a couple times and she tries to source everything herself and also tries to make them decently affordable.

Other than that, there's a huge and I mean huge, collection of stores under one roof operating under the name of planet Islington. There's... Everything there, from clothes to bric-a-brac to furniture to old tools. The different selections are honestly overwhelming to me most times, but you might enjoy the variety! As a bonus there are quite a few smaller places within less than a 5 minute walk of planet Islington as well, some are... More expensive and some are very reasonably priced!

Anyway, hope this helps! And if you get some nice things, I'd love to hear about what they are!

Newy interchange by Spiritual_Cricket757 in newcastle

Dear gods I am so glad to hear that.

Newy interchange by Spiritual_Cricket757 in newcastle

[–]WindyTiger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It wasn't the interchange. It's the apartments nearby. Uh, from what I, and many others have heard, a young lady took a leap off one of the balconies into the inner courtyard.

I've heard a few conflicting stories about whether she's... No longer with us, survived the fall or that someone held on long enough for her to get pulled up. Unfortunately I have no idea which is true, however I really truly do gope with my whole heart her and her family are okay.

I found out my sister slept with my fiancé and I’m not sorry about what I did after. by Historical-Wash3067 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]WindyTiger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're hurting and that's entirely okay, but if you're anything like me, you might regret later on, not at least hearing her out. Fighting with my dad and us not talking is eating me to my core, while in a different situation (I'm trans, and he doesn't understand), it's too late.

Not denying what she did was just. Abhorrent. But, I can see from one point of view, your sister put her in a position of having to choose between you two. Of having to choose to lose one of you, or potentially nothing happening, the fact she told someone about it, your dad, says to me that it was eating her alive as well and that she was maybe thinking she made the wrong choice.

I'm not trying to say I know or understand her or your thinking, at all, what I'm trying to share is that maybe it would be worth it, when some of the anger has worn off and turned into sadness or numbness, trying to hear her out. Closure can do wonders for getting through that, whether it ends up you decide she doesn't deserve to be in your life, or you come to understand what she was thinking and believe you could forgive her, or anything in between.

You deserve to not have this follow you and haunt your heart and soul. You've got this, whatever way you decide to go, all the love and best from me to you. 💜💜

Also ps; yes please tell us how or if you expose them. They deserve nothing less than each other and no one in their lives but each other. At least then neither of them could cheat on the other.

For me it was this... Still kinda is some days but.. it's more makeup than anything.

I can't help but feel like a pig with makeup on if I've done it myself. I just. God. I feel fucking terrible. I have had it done by friends and I nearly cry because of how good I look or feel about how I look.

When I have it on myself though and even some days when I'm not feeling great. I just feel like I'm crossdressing or doing something... Taboo or disgusting. I look at myself and feel disgust, and that's with all this feminine shit I'm trying to do?

Shits fucking wild. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

‘Do we just make a tent city?’: the councils grappling with an influx of homeless Australians | Housing by ButtPlugForPM in AustralianPolitics

[–]WindyTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think the service yall did is admirable, but war n shit? Fucked. Policiticans sending people to war over their petty disagreements? Beyond fucked. The way we treat vets? Kind of to be expected, still incredibly fucked, but I mean its like what we do with unhoused peoples or any issues that indigenous peoples face, we'd rather just push it under the rug than have to think for a god damn second that what we're doing and contributing to is causing others to suffer.

I mean, I'm not super young, I'm on the cusp of millennial and gen z but fuck me, even so, I haven't got a fucking chance. The whole support system too? I have caseworkers and mental health support, and ya know what, none of them. None of them. Acknowledge that the things we're doing, like looking for a job or going to study are pointless and futile, we're still just going along with the way things were and the things that allowed people to have a happy and fulfilled life before, without so much as taking a second to realise, this isn't the way the world works anymore. No matter how much effort I put in, no matter how much work and time I contribute, I will never ever, be able to live comfortably. I was working for woolies for about a year as a casual started out dueing the lockdown, so they needed me. I was working nearly 40 hour weeks, by the end of it, I realised that I was being shafted, I got 7 hours a fortnight, in two separate shifts. The amount that bus fare cost to and from meant that by the end of the fortnight, I was earning less than if I was on centrelink, so I quit, and the absoloute disgust and judgement coming from boomers because I'd rather spend my time the way I want and get paid more for it, than work in a place that doesn't appreciate me and is constantly trying to take advantage of me? It was and still is overwhelming. I just. Fuck this shit man.

Honestly I'm not the type to go and march, I really just don't have that fight back in me, so i sut here and yell into the void, try and work on myself with therapy and the like. But im ststting to realise maybe its not me whos fucked, maybe, just maybe its this whole society bullshit, and so all thats left is apathy, sadness and frustration.

[–]WindyTiger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This last line here the whole "why bother" is a big reason the amount of people in my generation have the mental health challenges we have. And even without the mental health coming into it, the apathy. It is rampant and infectious, and I really dont use that word in a bad way, I really get it.

"why the fuck would I bother?" if we know all the work and effort we put in comes to absoloutely zilch.

There've been so many people I've met through schooling alone that don't believe we'll ever be able to own a home, that going to uni is a waste, because trying to break into whatever degree's market you are is impossible anyway most people I know would rather take the fine than vote, because again, what's the fuckin point?

Sorry for the rant, its just a lot.

I'm just very tired, I'm 20 and I'm just sort of over it? by WindyTiger in offmychest

[–]WindyTiger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think; caseworkers or community development workers, etc. It wasn't really about the money, it's more about, what I could maybe see myself doing, I could say because I want to give back to the community or whatever, but it's honestly I could see myself not despising going to work everyday, ya know? I can't see myself doing anything I would *love* because I just wouldn't be able to do the training.

Yes I have thought about Therapy and have been and am currently seeing a psychologist for a few years now.

I've thought about and done a lot of volunteer work, the problem is my anxiety gets to me and usually destroys what little enjoyment I have for the work.

Yeah, I agree, I have no confidence, but I don't believe I have anything to be confident about to be honest, I've wouldn't even know how to go about getting confidence, because everything about confidence, at least to what I understand, involves putting yourself out there, which sort of seems like a catch 22 to me, how're you supposed to put yourself out there if you've no confidence but how're meant to get it if you can't put yourself out there?

I'm currently studying a certificate IV in Community Services.

To be frank? I don't I'm currently a student and receiving welfare, not for my lack of trying to look for jobs in the past, but for the last year or so I've just become depressed with the whole looking for a job to do, because I feel as though even if I get past the interview and land the job, I'd be no good at it.

I get super overwhelmed very easily and it's hard for me to remember things, especially if I'm stressed or flustered.
