at the chemist and there is a man asking for a cream to get rid of his daughter’s nightmares, and the sales attendant is so resignedly repeating, “sir, please, listen to what you’re saying”
guys whats the first ever ship that you obsessed over? like fully absorbed into your veins. couldnt get out of your head. would physically react to their scenes on screen and watch edits of them for hours on end.
today I learned that calling the store a chemist is an ANZ/UK thing, and doing so will have a bunch of people confused that you’re going direct to an apothecary for your pharmaceutical needs.
If your gut response to this is “just mute or ignore them” instead of holding them accountable for the disgusting things they say, you’re part of the problem. Nobody deserves to hear this, it’s completely fucked up.
I have never made a more desperate plea that what I am about to say right now.

I need you guys to fucking do something. I am an incredibly strong person and I have been streaming for a very, very long time. But absolutely nothing prepares you for someone
@Charalanahzard
This whole thing is a trash fire but the specificity of "PS5 ONLY!" has absolutely sent me. Honestly Alanah, how dare you stand in the way of console exclusivity, the gall, the cheek!

I wondered this!! But when I was leaving he was super adamant that he had definitely seen it before, so I imagine whatever it was was at least in some kind of tub?
Wasn't going to say anything about it but if your focus is on, "she lied about being married," instead of, "she's in an abusive and dangerous situation," you are the problem and everyone else can see it.
Well folks, I'm excited to finally be able to announce that this week is my last at Pedestrian Group. It's been a hell of a fun challenge writing spicy content alongside some truly 10/10 humans, but I'm off to try something new and I'm so incredibly hyped. Stay tuned ✨
Bit of news: Today was actually my last day at CNET! ✨
It’s been an eventful few years, with WFH transitions, a grand total of 6 days in the office, a bunch of wacky stories and a genuinely excellent team here in AU.
I’ll be able to share where I’m headed soon 👀
Last night’s 10 year high school reunion featured someone stealing the microphone to beatbox (badly), disgusting bathrooms and people trying to subtly hook up in the Photo Booth. So, high school.
I am SO EXCITED to finally announce that my piece was selected to be a part of this! This is easily the highlight of my year by far, I can’t wait for you all to check it out 💕

imagine being so validly criticised on your handling of something that your advisors and PR people suggest, "hey, time to bring out the big guns -- you gotta go on radio and deflect everything by talking about a tired rumour that you shit your pants"
I am wildly excited to announce a project that I've been working on for a while now. Introducing Tell The Bees, a fortnightly newsletter covering all things death and culture 🐝

Parking myself down wherever the hell I want (middle of a marketplace? sure!) to meditate undisturbed for hours at a time before somehow waking up completely healed.
Fun fact: Today is my last day with the team at Netflix ANZ and Snack Drawer! I have had a hell of a time forcing LOTR memes onto everyone, but it's time to move onto the next big thing (which I'll be able to talk about soonish!) and I'm so keeeeeen
Last weekend I caught the same shitty train that I used to catch every weekday, commuting two hours each way into the city and back. How the fuck did I do this for a whole year?

Earlier this month I published my first big feature for CNET. From mafia propaganda to moral outcry, here's why you probably haven't heard much about water cremation before. I'm really proud of it.
I finally got an official ADHD diagnosis last week. Feels like a weird time for it, given everything going on in the news. It's not that I'm not relieved. I am. But I'm also exhausted -- at the process, at the stress, at the surrounding discourse that has been ever-present.
therapy should not be as ludicrously expensive as it is when such a significant portion of the population need it to be able to grow, learn and function

hack: instead of making endless cups of neglected tea, just drink hot water instead. forgotten to drink it when it's hot? no problem! now it's a refreshing cup of cold water. time to hydrate, bitch
