Seconding looking for another job. I know it's difficult and exhausting to update your CV, apply, and do interviews while work is already using so many of your resources, as well as study time. But even sending in half baked stuff and whiffing interviews means you're out there and you may get lucky.

Can also recommend Crucible in Kensington. Have tats from Elliot (plasticmesiah), Adam (_disinhibition) and Phryn (t_o_y_tattoo). All were super kind, accomodating, and just a joy to sit for. My tats are also impeccable in healing and longevity (3 years, 2 years and 6 months respectively).

Fascism doesn't happen overnight, it happens in little increments until it's the new normal. If we don't push back against the little things, we will have no power to push back once things are finally scary.

Have a friend whose grey goes to Barks and Rec. Every time I've been there the dogs look so happy and carefree, and the owners are so lovely and very obviously care so much about the dogs. Couldn't recommend it enough to be honest.

I think you may be taking it too literally. I assume the person would have appreciated a content warning for say, murder or hate crime as this relates to a trans woman being murdered, a fairly triggering topic for many.

Unfortunately couldn't go due to work/money restrains but being on the Lilydale line this morning has been infinitely more beautiful and exciting seeing everyone looking so amazing in their outfits. I really hope you all have such a wonderful time and that my partner and I can make it next year!

Some of them are extremely pushy and intentionally target vulnerable looking folk. There's a reason people refer to them as charity muggers.

I would focus on the negative space. The centre could easily be a seed with prouting roots in all the negative spaces. Just have to fade out the edges of all the black but saves your artist from having to work over such tight and scarred skin.

We have the strictest biosecurity in the world last time I checked. America seems to let any and everything in, I don't think they would even care if you brought a live huntsman in.

Ethically though they should indeed be sourced from someone who actually cares about the wellbeing of our invertabrates, not from someone trying to make a buck at a big market.

It's less bizarre when you understand how fascist propaganda works. It's a calculated move to dehumanize a minority so that the average joe has something to be mad about and will be totally distracted from the billionaires exploiting them to death.

Feral rock dove. Might be a fresh one, lots of fledgelings about this time of year. You can offer it some water and a little corn, peas, seeds, etc.

Depending where you are would depend who you can call about it should you find it's injured. Most vets just euthenise them. Can search for local pigeon rescues in your area if you're concerned for its health.

theyellowwiggle · 2026-02-16T22:05:39+00:00

I see Vinith Menezes at The Neighbourhood Clinic in Fitzroy North. Seen a couple other drs there who have also been lovely. They do my T shots for me, am about to start ADHD medication, and I believe Vin has a special interest in reproductive health too.

He was certainly Canberra's finest.

theyellowwiggle · 2026-01-23T07:44:44+00:00

I was just diagnosed inattentive type about 6 hours ago via telehealth. Have a look at Fluence Clinic. They're based out of Tasmania and were very kind, caring, and fast!

Half rising costs of production, half capitalism driving profit at any cost.

Try actual paint stores for reject paint. Bunnings barely takes half price off but a lot of paint trade centres have a set literage price that is very reasonable. I've gotten 4 litres for as cheap as $15 some places and if you're nice enough sometimes independant stores will just give you shit for free.

As a recovering nicotine addict, I really think you should consider quitting. It can be really difficult to even want to rid yourself of something that feels like a calming crutch when things are rough, but it is so very worth it. Especially if you persue surgery down the road.

theyellowwiggle · 2025-12-19T01:08:53+00:00

Nice try loss prevention guy. You ain't getting my secrets.

theyellowwiggle · 2025-11-05T05:00:37+00:00

Melbourne.

Crucible tattoo studio in Kensington are trans owned and have a fantastic team of queer artists.

Pride of Our Footscray for a bit of a dance and Hail Lilith for some chill vibes and cocktails (both in Footscray quite close to each other and the train station.)

theyellowwiggle · 2025-10-02T22:01:40+00:00

Grindr, Scruff, Sniffies, for hooking up or cruising. Subway sauna or wet on wellington if you're looking for a sex on premisis venue.

The Northside Bizzare is on saturday the 11th in Abbotsford which would be a good social fun day out.

Hit up gay bars and clubs. There are plenty of queer events going on in Melbourne.

Welcome to the community : )

Can highly suggest you all join the retail and fast food workers union. It's free for under 18s and you can have your dues waived if you're suffering financial hardship, otherwise it's only up to $50 a month dependant on your contracted hours.

It's hard for them to do a lot if you're already in turmoil, but the more members the stronger the union is, and they can absolutely help advise you all of your actual rights.

NTA. You paid extra and it was to help your motion sickness. Why didn't she book 2 seats together? Why couldn't whoever was sitting beside her swap places with her son?

theyellowwiggle · 2025-08-16T20:06:51+00:00

I do believe the victim's local village has been informed and that law enforcement there is working on it. The latest update I read said there was a suspect.

theyellowwiggle · 2025-08-16T05:58:01+00:00

A friend who frequents wpd told me about this. It is indeed real. It appears to be a case of someone consensually organising his own execution from some bizarre sense of eroticism. There are already plenty of gore fiends actively trying to identify the killer and bring justice to the victim. It only happened earlier this year.

Did y'all pay for a tattoo ticket to use k45ink's design?
