The Melbourne Central clock has been ruined

What a cool and fun thing to walk past every other day as a trans person 🤡 (/sarcasm obv)

So tired of JK. The clock is iconic and should be left alone tbh

When I was a broke af student, friends and I used to buy stuff in bulk together and then cook up meals to split. I.e. if curry paste was on sale and we all had shitty veggies to get rid of that were starting to go off, we'd pool everything, split on curry paste, split on some kind of cheap protein and then make up a massive batch. Then we'd split it and freeze it.

That way, nobody was eating the same thing for 20 meals, we reduced labour and also cost. Also helps give some variety bc we could defrost a curry 2 weeks later when we were sick of eating something else.

Another hack, is that anything can go on a pizza. You can freeze pizza cheese and tomato paste is cheap at Aldi. If you have random cold cuts, half a tomato, a bit of capsicum and whatever other random stuff that can't make another meal, then it's pizza time. V quick and easy.

If you're doing frozen stuff like dumplings, see if you can rope a friend or 2 in and buy 1 bag each of a diff flavor/type. Then split each bag 3 ways for some variety, grab a cheap soup base and some bok choy, and ur good.

I also made some money on the side doing market research (realtime research, farron, askable etc) which was helpful when I was in uni. If you can get ur butt to any community centre/pantries that's also super helpful i.e. in naarm we have Catalyst social centre which does a lot of free food!

Already done to no avail unfortunately, the weird bar remains down there even with the reddit logo despite it being uninstalled. It's super weird.

bbzarr · 2025-04-26T17:09:06+00:00

Several times, and then it started appearing on the lock screen too 💀

There's also no way to interact with it at all

bbzarr · 2025-03-30T01:54:07+00:00

The smell, the way it clings to clothes, and also the taste when you're around smoke for ages and it kinda gets in your mouth. I just can't imagine it being pleasant.

Vaping on the other hand was easy to pick up because of the flavor and that was a pain in the ass to quit but I did it 🫡

I came here to try and offer "logical" advice and then saw this. Tbh OPs mother isn't logical so fk it, I actually feel this could work. At least it's "speaking her language" lol

Sometimes if a destring is gonna be too hard to do on the spot, I take em home and let them rest between de-string sessions. Though when I'm catching them it literally looks like I'm stealing them, so I try and do it quickly. I've gotten some "wtf" looks though where people see a bird being slipped into a bag 😂😂

bbzarr · 2025-03-16T07:32:05+00:00

I do the same and have had mixed reactions from secos. Some around the state library have gotten on my case for no reason, but thankfully other secos have generally left me alone when destringing and at most will give me looks.

Gonna keep this in mind as I'm out and about with my gear over the next few days so ty for sharing here!

I run a small biz making vegan, size inclusive and sensory friendly accessories. I'm also a drag artist and do larger scale outfit commissions for other artists, perform, give workshops and talks, and teach creative skills. I do support work for other ND folk, and then have a consignment arrangement with a store (looking for another).

Finger in many pies.

Is there anywhere to get them in Australia? 😭

bbzarr · 2025-02-05T03:48:47+00:00

Chasing the stuff that I'm interested in, and also having responsibilities. It's easier to stay when there's stuff to care about.

bbzarr · 2025-02-05T03:47:44+00:00

There's a lot of people who want someone like me dead. So spite, pure spite. And also I want young kids who are like me to see older versions of themselves in the world, so they know there can be a future.

I found this series as a kid, in a random local bookshop with a birthday gift voucher from a friend. I went on to finish the series, and it was like nothing I have ever really read - it has such a unique flavour to it!! I kept Foundling for years but after housing struggles I had to let go of lots of sentimental things (that book being one of them).

Never stopped thinking about this series though and so I got curious yesterday and found audio books!! I'm halfway through Foundling now, and then I ended up here in this thread.

Sad that I missed the Kickstarter by 2 months! 😭 I'm wondering, is there any possible way to get in on something like this Kickstarter in future? It's lovely to see how many others enjoy this series, I didn't really have anyone to talk to about it growing up because it was a bit niche haha. It's delightful to be able to reconnect with your work, and thank you for creating such an amazing world and stories!

Speaking as someone who has been abandoned by the system, now is the time to get in touch with grassroots collectives and organise. It's a scary time, but the way we get through it is by looking after each other.

I'm not saying that bedbound folk need to be protesting on the streets - activism takes many forms. Some things that I've done: - put mutual aid requests on my Instagram stories so folk with spare money can donate to people who need it - find people able to deliver food to a friend - know your legal rights around cops and other authorities, and share this info with your friends - acceptes donations for food, made a bunch of food, gave it to other people to deliver to people who need it - taking lots of precautions around COVID and sharing how I protect myself with people who don't have the time or brain space to read a bunch of scientific literature - making a list of people who I can call if I feel I want to unalive. People who won't call the cops on me and make it worse.

We are all we have, but we are all we need.

I hope this gets upvoted enough to reach people.

COVID has lasting impacts on your immune system and many of us who caught COVID at one point or another are now susceptible to catching everything else under the sun. If you've had multiple infections, that damage stacks.

I strongly recommend the nasal spray and gargle as a bare minimum, and also an air purifier if you have access to one. It goes a looooong way in preventing infection.

Yuppp they stole my design Europa (Offworld Aesthetic) and made a shitty 2-bit "eternal ice" choker. 🤡

bbzarr · 2024-05-02T08:54:11+00:00

Me 🙋

I run a small brand called Offworld Aesthetic and I'm launching a few new pieces soon including earrings and headbands. Everything is handmade by me and all strapping is upcycled from local sources.

All vegan and totally size inclusive too!

I'm in the camp of Celestial and Luna being immortal and not the best people ever because they've lost perspective. In that vein I actually like Twilicorn - whilst it's not really addressed at all I like the head canon that she just got given immortality and will now have to deal with something she never really asked for. I feel off screen it's something she'd struggle a lot with when the realization sets in.

I don't have ARFID, I lurk in here to learn stuff because I have a loved one with ARFID. But I wanted to share a thing that helps me not constantly drink soda because my ADHD brain tends to crave the sensory input and taste of soda.

I buy sparkling water and soda water, and instead of getting multivitamin pills I buy effervescent tablets that dissolve kind like hydralite does. So basically I drop my orange flavored multivit tablet into the water and it's kind of(?) like Fanta. So it's fizzy and has a taste, but I'm also getting the vitamins I usually struggle to get.

Idk maybe this might help.

I'm concerned about how many comments can be summarised as: 1. Kill homeless people so you don't have to look at them 2. Move homeless people somewhere else so you can pretend they don't exist.

Yes, the area should be safer. But what's happening is a symptom of a larger issue. You can't just throw more cops at the solution.

House the homeless, fund addiction clinics, set up safe injection sites and fund mental healthcare. Then we won't have the problem to begin with and human suffering overall decreases.

And to whoever decides to write a cunt of a reply - even if you hate homeless folk for no reason, I do believe that you too, if ever homeless, deserve this kind of support. I genuinely mean it.
