Somebody at work: People in this country are smart enough to see through the propaganda coming out of the Middle East.

Me, eavesdropping, into the fist I have reflexively shoved into my mouth so I don't say anything stupid: THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT, BERYL

-

unfortunately I was not in a position to call out this one (I really wasn't, you will have to trust me) and I am fuming about it

so instead I will have to try and bring about change by less direct methods like "modelling kindness" and "gently prompting people to examine their own prejudices" and even "reminding everyone that we should all at least attempt to care about other people"

oh! apparently nobody in this country should be protesting unless they actually are palestinian. doubly fuming that i can't call anyone out

Neighborly Wave & Understanding

What makes a good neighbor? According to an Aussie soap opera, it’s all about waving and getting what’s going on, you know…If I waved at my neighbors, I’d cross my fingers they’d get that I’m in some serious bother. But what if they reckon I’ve gone bonkers? Some folks think that, you know.I’ve got no clue what makes a top-notch neighbor, maybe taking in a parcel and having a natter about…

Dude, a LOT of people use 'boost' and 'signal boost', it's the 'i'm sharing this on tumblr' tag. Don't incriminate people or say that's suspicious especially in a psa, it's really not at all.

Hi! That wasn't my intention, my bad. I myself use boost/signal boost on posts plenty. What I was trying to get at was that the only engagement on the post was distant to estranged, with lots of people boosting it, but no one indicating a connection to the poster or that they themselves had been able to contribute, or had vetted it.

Signal boosting IS completely normal, but it struck me as odd that those were the ONLY engagements on a post from a blog with at least the veneer of having existed for a while and having connections of its own, especially combined with the stark reblog to like ratio.

Watching Lego Grandmasters again and lemon slice shirt boy is wearing a shirt that at first glance I thought was spotted with strawbebbies but on a closer look I realised is spotted with ladybirds which I think is if possible even cuter

Aditya has trouble understanding Damien's Australian accent and phrases whenever he speaks (took reference from your video of Damien with Graves LMFAO), I'm pretty sure the Lieutenant would have a hard time but Damien helps him!

Khushi I swear you and I have the same brain bc as ur ask came in, I was genuinely wondering if people on here understood the slang I use HAHAH

Look, Australian slang…there’s so much of it that even I, an Australian, get confused. So I don’t blame Aditya at all! It can be very overwhelming to hear all these random phrases and words.

Damien kinda forgets that the words he uses…not everyone is going to understand especially when english isn’t their first language or if their not Australian! So naturally when Aditya and him meet for the first time to discuss plans, Aditya is like…

“what is this guy talking about? ‘This is unreal?’ What does he mean…this is real though…??”

“‘Yeah nah, nah yeah’?? Is that a yes or no??”

Luckily, Arjun has gone through and experienced this before…dealing with both Damien and Lachlan. So he essentially tells Aditya to just “smile and nod”, and it works! Until Damien asks him a question that Aditya just nods at leaving him confused. It then hits Damien that Aditya has actually no clue what he has been talking about for the last 10 minutes LOL

He feels bad that he has been just talking his mouth off with all this slang, leaving poor Aditya confused! So he decides to teach him a couple of commonly used phrases.

“Okay so…g’day is hello…hooroo is like goodbye…reckon is think and….yeah nah is no?” Aditya scratches his head.

“Yep! Spot on mate.” Damien says with a smile. “I reckon you’ll be a true blue Aussie soon enough.”

“A what? True blue Aussie?”

“Yeah…look we’ll get to that later…”

When they’re out and about, Damien will just throw a random phrase at Aditya and ask him to translate or just a new word for him to learn! And Aditya does the same, language sharing buddies 🤝

Hope you enjoyed 💞

if martyrdom was actually a perk for Splatoon, would it be able to take out Maws? because it's supposed to be after you die.

i think i would say no, but it would do 1,000. not useless, and it wouldn't take out a boss fish by just dying.

I've heard you got lost luggages and I'm missing mine. Might have them here though, can I check?

... Oh here you are, well thanks I'm off to SYD airport, thanks man! Meeting my personal trainer to start my new routine.

You slavishly followed your trainer's instructions for packing the bag. But it seems very silly to you to travel to Australia for two months with only a small piece of hand luggage. Allowed were a pair of boarders, a pair of daisy dukes and a pair of workout shorts, two tank tops, two jockstraps, two pairs of white socks, a pair of flip flops. One pair of boxer shorts to sleep in. Razor, shaving cream, toothbrush, toothpaste. And for the flight, shorts no longer than a hand's width above the knee, tank top and desert boots. And that silly bandana. But you put it back in your pocket. You look a little silly.

After the flight, you feel surprisingly fit. Somehow it's as if you've had a few really challenging workouts. Good thing you decided to wear the really short shorts. Your legs need air. And the muscles are coming out really well.

The bloody immigration fawrmalities drag on. But since ya only av a little 'and luggage, it goes relatively fast. 'n luckily ya speak the language of the customs staff. Root, the bloody 'air is annoyin'. Weah is the fuckin' bandana? The bloke at the bloody customs control can't believe that ya ahah not from heah. Ya take that as a compliment.

'n behind the bloody baggage claim, wich ya can just walk past, yah personal trayynah is waitin'. The bloody pictures didn't porkie. A mixtah of natah boy 'n surfah cobber. Ya shake 'ands liyyke fahkin' old buddies. But yah trayynah awrders ya ta take off yah tank top 'n gives ya a chayyn instead. Now ya could be brothers.

off ta the bloody gym, the bloody next trayynin' session awaits. 'n then off into the bloody surf! Fair dinkum cobber.

“Fair dinkum”

I desperately had to get this depiction of Razzia out of my head, so I sat here and gave myself 20 minutes to scrawl. Now I leave it with the council to review.

Her dynamic with Abyssinia will always make me clutch my heart, the loveliest deadly duo of the series.
