I’m not really able to do that without exacerbating mould issues or taking up room I can’t afford, but maybe I can work something out.

Thanks. I’m not actually very skilled, the plants are just motivated to live and I give them what help I can

It’s apparently going to weaken the Australian economy too? Which is fun.

I want to rage and call Americans stupid, and to be fair a lot of them did buy in to the hate and spin.

But I think there was also a lot of gerrymandering and ratfuckery at play. And apparently voting in America works differently to Australia. Can’t imagine being a minority in America right now.

I really hope this doesn’t hasten the Americanisation of Australia or import more crazy bullshit

I wish I could know it would be ok. We have our own fundies here so things could get dicey

I’m now afraid for reproductive rights in Australia.

I want to buy more seeds and garden stuff but the money… the limited number of pots and the invasive grass… the fact that it might get stolen or the garden destroyed/raided…

:(

He looks like he’s giggling

Please no.

I’m still fairly limited in what I’m able to have but a few squares of dark chocolate just climbed into my mouth

I’m sorry. I’m hoping he has some more good days and can soak up the love for as long as possible

I feel like TikTok is weirdly disconnected from reality

So there’s now literal children buying anti-aging products like retinol and there’s a hair disclosing spray so women can completely defuzz their whole faces?

People are getting preventative Botox and giving themselves gastroparesis by using Ozempic and 20 year olds are either removing the fat from their cheeks or getting fillers? Celebrities with slightly crooked teeth are getting full veneers or caps?

Earlier periods of history got a bad reputation for their rigid beauty standards and rightfully so but I feel like it’s all much more out of control now because internet. Modern beauty standards are insane.

Screw that I’m crawling back under my rock

Can you get a casual pass to visit the council one a few times to try it out? Idk maybe there’s something that would sway your decision.

Or maybe even get a casual pass to use the pool and machines whenever you want to.

That’s if they still offer that

If it’s coconut cream you can sweeten and whip it like vegan whipped cream.

But for that you tend to refrigerate it then scoop the solid fat out so it’s thicker and more whippable. (I’ve done this once but think I made it a bit too thick. Guess it depends on if it separates a lot, and if skimming the coconut cream would leave much thinner liquid for the curry.) Coconut milk wouldn’t work for this.

Otherwise you can use it up as coffee creamer or freeze it in ice cube trays for later

Or double the curry recipe to use the whole can and freeze the other half of the food in portions

Seriously don’t forget about yourself because invisible informal care work without your own supports and boundaries can and will fuck you up.

Ah… yes, physical limitations. At least one of you take a break

lol I was suggesting it for you so you could care for yourself as well. But yeah buy another so both get one.

Maybe go out to check on the plants and fish. Outside is a great help (assuming it’s safe to do :/)

I’m really sorry. I haven’t done this but may consider it when needed… it seems like a lower stress option
