Hey bi kids! A) there’s nothing “skin curling” about you, whatever that Maxibon of expressions is supposed to mean. B) if you’re 18 soon, you get the pleasure of voting ScoMo the fuck out. If you’re not, then allow me. C) Bcoz this adult-sized bisexual loves the hell out of you x

Hey everyone else in Australia, Melbourne is not at the “accepting feedback and suggestions to deal with the problem” stage of this lockdown. We are stuck at the “we just need sympathy and visa gift vouchers” stage, and will be until further notice.

It’d be cool if kids in single kid households could nominate another kid with whom to create a 2-kid bubble. For many reasons; for kids’ mental health, for their parents’ mental health. But mainly so that they’re not so starved for company that they conjure demons into existence

At 3am the cat woke us with periodic, very angry meows. Turns out he’d bitten the cactus on our dresser & meowed because it hurt. Then he kept biting it and meowing, on a loop for several minutes. We moved the cactus. He found it and continued biting. No idea what that was about.
