The investment bank I work for is doing a deal with a Canadian firm and I swear to god they are the nicest people on the planet. It doesn’t matter what the issue, they are unfailingly polite, plus I get to spend my days on calls to Montreal while singing Moulin Rouge in my head and daydreaming about Scott and Tessa and it’s taken all my strength not to break in to meetings and ask if they have ever seen VM skate.

This is work goals!!

It’s crazy right once your sell your soul to VM anything to do with their programs/where they come from etc.. it’s like constantly playing 6degrees of separation. When I first got ‘back into them’ (fangirling out over them as a full time job) I asked my work friend who had lived in Montreal for 12 years if she knew about them.. Disappointingly her answer was ‘yeah but they’re not together’ which makes me kinda sad that seemingly the media environment around them over there was about the BS/ gossipy stuff rather than what terrifying athletes, ANGELS and king and queen they are of their country! So after that I kinda stopped asking people or bringing them up.. even to my mum the other day.. there was an ad for DWTS on and I told her that TS vehemently oppose the idea of going on that show bc they are so fiercely loyal to each other in the sense of never forming a competitive/performance/dance partnership with anyone else because what they shared what’s so incomprehensibly special and the idea for each of them of skating/dancing (performing) without each other quite frankly scares them.. and I said how there was a similar show in Canada called ‘BOTB’ with the same idea but pairing up a FS and a hockey player and that VM wouldn’t even do that and my mum goes ‘but isn’t she marrying a hockey player?’ And I’m like ‘OH MY FUCKING GOD it’s NOT ABOUT THAT..’

Anyway yes I’m so with you on associating anything and everything with them- I make art based on their costumes, I use their music when I’m teaching ballet classes.. I have a tattoo that says ‘come what May’ (in cryptic, artsy text I designed myself) they are so a part of me and I’m fully aware that sounds creepy but as I’ve said in the past it’s in a really positive sense that inspires me on both an artistic and human level.

That’s soo cool you should defs ask one of them or just say something like ‘I didn’t pledge allegiance to Chuckie III👑 I pledged allegiance to Canada’s king and queen’ and see if they know what you’re talking about hahahaha

The Albanese Prime Ministership So Far

Anthony Albanese was an unlikely choice for Australia to elect as PM. During his campaign in 2022 gaffes were front and centre. The press pack descended upon these like hungry wolves in search of blood. If Scott Morrison had not been outed as such a compulsive liar and his Coalition government not soiled in Robodebt and Brittany Higgins’ merde, well, you know the story. Albo waltzed into office on a fresh bouquet of wattle bringing with him the hopes of Aussie progressives. Nearly 10 years of LNP incompetence and corruption had left us short of breath for an optimistic future. The Albanese Prime Ministership so far, however, is losing its shine, it seems. “In April 2023, 52% of respondents in the Guardian Essential poll approved of Albanese’s performance as prime minister even while inflationary pressure prompted 61% of respondents to say they were either squeezed or struggling to pay for groceries and food. But more than half a year later, Albanese’s approval is net negative in Guardian Essential and 76% of respondents are frustrated with what they see as a lack of action on food and grocery prices, while 77% want more done to reduce power bills.” - (https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/dec/27/this-year-brought-labor-back-down-to-earth-what-does-2024-hold-for-albanese-and-dutton) Photo by vectors icon on Pexels.com

Albo Leading The Way On China

Albo’s government has done a host of good things in fixing up things with our largest trading partner China. The Coalition had stuffed up this fragile balance and had us in the frozen wasteland over ideological attacks about blaming them for Covid and sucking up to America’s exclusion of China over security arrangements. Economically, the Albanese/Chalmers policies are treading the cautious RBA approved road to fiscal recovery. We now have the NACC, a federal ICAC, although nobody has seen nor heard of them since their inception. Many cracks were exposed during the global pandemic in terms of those not supported by our institutions and societal safety nets. Albo has sought to facilitate these sections of the community being better looked after. There have been modest wage increases for care workers and the lowest paid Australian workers more generally. PM Albanese Too Much Talk Is Cheap & Deafening The phrase ‘Australians have been doing it tough’ has been wheeled out more times than a sausage sizzle tent at a Bunnings store. Unfortunately, the use of this faux compassion has realised its triteness in the minds of many Australians. The general feeling is that not enough has been done to assist those being smashed by unaffordable rents and high CPI inflation food and energy costs. The ALP government's desire to be seen as good economic managers has lost them, over time, the empathy of the nation. Meanwhile, there has been a changing of the guard, at least in gender terms, at the head of the RBA. The much maligned Philip Lowe has been replaced by Michelle Bullock – a new bull with tits in Australia’s China shop. Steeply raised interest rates have been smashing the economic hopes of new home owners and the Aussie economy more generally. Only the rampant rates of immigration have kept the country out of recession over the last 12 months. A severe housing crisis has some families living in tents on the fringes of their cities. Rents have sky rocketed due to a shortage of housing stocks. The popularity of things like Air BNB has eroded the long term rental market around the country. The housing crisis is the result of successive governments over decades embracing the neoliberal new world order. Markets will take care of everything we were assured by these Reaganite/Thatcherite economic advisors to governments. Social housing became something of a forgotten concept from a bygone era. Governments stopped doing things and became opinionated observers instead. Photo by Mudassir Ali on Pexels.com Beware PM’s Bearing No Gifts The electorate blames whoever is in government despite the fact that these things take years to manifest. Voters don’t have the perspicacity or inclination to view things in the long term. Albo has inherited a real can of worms, which is often the way when Labor finally gets into office in this country. Governments cannot so readily bribe the voters with tax cuts and hand outs during times of high inflation. The controversial Stage 3 tax cuts are a clear example of this from the Morrison era. The fact that they have landed upon the Albanese government at such an inopportune time is symptomatic of the lot of Albo as PM. Another Victim Of An Aboriginal Massacre The defeat of the Voice to Parliament for Indigenous Australians is the heaviest albatross to hang around Albo’s neck. I suspect that Albanese thought that the Voice would be carried by the new mood of the Australian people upon his election. The Uluru Statement from the Heart had such a poetic ring to it, pity Australia has such a tin air. The decision by the Nationals and then, by Peter Dutton to oppose the Voice killed off any hopes that this would be so, as no Constitutional referendum has been carried without bipartisan support in the history of this nation. From the progressive point of view, I think that Albo should be applauded for his attempt to move the centuries old failure to recognise our First Nations people in the right direction. On the political front, however, it opened a serious wound where there had not been one in Albanese’s leadership of the nation. The racist history of this former British colony has been white washed over again and again. Right wing conservatives got organised and funded American style to run a successful No campaign against the Voice. By comparison Indigenous Australians were not a united body in favour of the Voice and this was telling. Photo by Catarina Sousa on Pexels.com Albo Could Do More On Climate Change The Albanese government is getting a lot done with many policy initiatives legislated. Positive changes to worker’s rights have been made law. Saving the Murray River has been reinvigorated after a decade of Coalition backsliding on this important environmental matter. Climate change initiatives have been accelerated and things are moving in the right direction to lower emissions after years of LNP neglect. Australians are faced with a challenge on this to realise the urgency and stick to it. Populist LNP campaigns readily appeal to short sighted back pocket concerns over the global commitment required. Regional Australia needs to stop sticking its head in the sand and grow up on this existential issue facing all Australians. We are all fast running out of time to do anything about global warming and the disasters coming. Albo needs to wake up to the reality of what his government faces across the aisles in parliament. Dutton and his mob are not going to do him any favours. They have voted against every initiative proposed by the Labor government. Together with the rabid Murdoch press they have fear mongered over Hamas in Israel and banging anti-China war drums. Hysterical alarmism over refugees released from indefinite detention who having served prison sentences for crimes committed were ordered free by the High Court of Australia. Dutton has sought to bully Albanese over all these storms in tea cups. Sky News Australia, the Fox News of Oz, is a totally biased mouthpiece for right wing demagoguery. The media landscape in Australia is dominated by conservative corporate interests. The ABC has been emasculated by a decade of LNP bullying. There is no progressive media network in Australia. Radio, newspapers, and TV all sing from the same song sheet. Protecting property is paramount and everything else is seen in relation to this overarching concern. Indigenous youth crime is a problem but no solutions excepting tougher penalties are proposed. The fact that these kids have nothing to do and have been neglected by governments and their white communities is hardly ever raised. The Voice may have given a voice to this and something may have got done about it – but it was defeated by racism and a ‘do nothing’ ethos. Albo is going to have to toughen up, as the people want to see him fight for what he believes in. At the moment he and his government look weak. He needs to take a leaf out of Paul Keating’s playbook. Every nation wants a bit of a hero every now and then. Standing up to bullies like Dutton would inject some much needed punch into his leadership. Consensus is hard to do if the other side refuses to play ball with you. 2024 needs a new more steely approach.

10 stycznia 2024 (dzień 5)

Od rana łapią mnie skurcze mięśni - to znaczy albo PMS albo jestem chora, ewentualnie z zimna. No i to dobry reminder żeby brać witaminki. Mimo, że ubrana jak prawdziwa polska cebula - 2 pary spodni, 2 koszulki termiczne i duża bluza (+ oczywiście kurtka i cały zimowy pakiet) to za mało na pogodę -5°C. Powinni nas wysłać na zdalne nauczanie a nie kazać czekać na autobus w wypizdowiu gdzie nigdy nie masz pewności czy nie zrobił salta i czy przyjedzie. Nienawidzę mieszkać na wsi, nie cierpię!!! Dobrze się żyje tylko, gdy jest lato. No tak, nie może być zbyt łatwo i w lato trzeba przygotowywać drewno na zimę - rąbać układać i suszyć, potem znów układać, wrzucać do piwnicy i znów układać... Dobrze że nie muszę narazie się tym przejmować.

Kolejny mało produktywny dzień, pograłam trochę w kąkuter i obejrzałam film ze znajomymi, ale to chyba jedyny powód dla którego nie idę w kimę po przyjściu do domu, bardzo cierpię w taką pogodę. Meteopaci łączmy się w bólu 💗.

Nareszcie dorwałam mochi w biedronce i to o smaku pistacji!! Uwielbiam wszystko co jest o tym smaku, najbardziej lody! Nie mogłam się powstrzymać. Dziś nadgoniłam kalorie i jest g.

☁️Witam ponownie motylki!☁️

Chcę bardzo podziękować za tak miły odzew pod postem powitalnym, te kilka komentarzy i wiadomości prywatnych naprawdę sprawiło uśmiech na mojej twarzy i jestem za wszystkie wdzięczny, nie wiecie ile dla mnie znaczy tak pozytywne ponowne przyjęcie do tego community.

Kusi mnie już bardzo aby zacząć jakąś bardziej rowiniętą dyskusję lub rozwinięcie samego tematu jednak nabrało się ich tyle w mojej głowie, że mi samemu jest ciężko od czego zacząć. Przyznam się szczerze, z lekka mnie to męczy ale gdy nabiorę siły to na pewno coś dłuższego do czytania wpadnie na mojego bloga. To jak dużo jest naprawdę do omówienia od takich tematów jak dzieci i młodzież vs manipulacja jaka jest stosowana w tej społeczności po to jak motylki niszczą swoje organizmy nie tylko przy pomocy przyjaciółki any jest na tyle rozwinięte, że aż intrygujące jak to wszystko doszło do takiego stopnia. Każdy rozsądny motylek wie, że to community niszczy jednak sami wybraliśmy sobie taką drogę. Zanim ujrzycie jakikolwiek post ode mnie chcę jednak nadmienić bardzo ważną rzecz o sobie, która nie pojawiła się w moim introduction; moje poglądy i zdania na pewne tematy mogą być dosyć sprzeczne z moimi niektórymi zachowaniami, które stosowałem w przeszłości albo, w najgorszych momentach mojej any, nadal stosuje. Krótko mówiąc, dla niektórych mogę się wydać hipokrytą, i jeśli ktokolwiek mnie owym nazwie nie zaprzeczę mu pomimo, że nie mam nad tym kontroli.

Schodząc trochę z tego tematu, jak wam minął dzień? Mój spędziłem na nieudanych eksperymentach w kuchni z mug cake dla moich najbliższych. Szczerze się przyznam, że kuchcik ze mnie nienajlepszy, ale może dla motylka to dobra cecha.

Jeszcze raz, jeśli ktokolwiek kto się odezwał czy w komentarzach czy na pm, dziękuję za taki ciepły odzew. To było przekochane, takie wiadomości dają mi chociaż lekkie światło nadziei, że to community nie próbuje się tylko wykończyć wzajemnie :)

Lekkiego dnia,

Dawid

Your PM also deserves to die

If only for the fact he has a super villain name

Anthony Albanese

No.

Bros got that alliteration name

Y'know what we call him? Albo.

Look I do not like him but at least he's not going to Hawaii mid bushfires and forcing random people to shake his hand when he finally comes back.

Not yet anyway.

[happyg-olucky]

Chyba pms nadciąga albo nie wiem. ALe wkurwiona chodzę.

Wczoraj wstawiłam pralkę, która już jakiś czas za głośno chodziła, a wczoraj to zuj słyszę, ze tam kulki z jakiegoś łożyska chyba latają.

No to mówię do D. żeby się zaczął na you tubie doszkalać, bo ja juz sie boje wiecej tej pralki właczyc, trzeba w koncu naprawić.Przyjął do wiadomosci i w sumie tyle.

Dziś teściowa wpada i mówi, ze ona juz umówiła tego mechanika, ze będzie jutro bla bla bla

Ja sobie myślę WTF? nic kurwa nie wiem o planach umawiania jakiegoś naprawiacza i dlaczego on z tym z matką rozmawia a nie ze mną??? I nikt mnie nie pyta czy mi pasuje?

Tym sposobem odbyliśmy awanturkę telefoniczno sms i nie wiem czy nie bedzie kontynuacji jak wróci, bo nadal mnie trzyma.

Mam rację, czy przesadzam?

If you respect trans people so much, consider doing a little bit of research instead of complaining that it’s “mean” for trans people to ask for representation. Also… “hot asian guy” and “some kind of asian language” — you sure you’re not racist? :/

Aw I knew I'd get hate for this. First of all, I'm sorry.

Second, please don't take words from a post out of context. I was trying to make a point that he had given a nice kind lovely gift of a durian lolly to a white person. If you'd read my other posts, I have a crush on him and no I am not worthy of him and am trying to find ways to convince myself to stop liking him because he won't like me back (not because of your racist allegations, Anon, just because... Anyway if you knew me, you'd get it)

Also what do you mean research? I've read a lot of books on this topic (another thing you wouldn't know from just like one post) and it's fascinating and interesting but understanding it enough to write about it is another level. The post was insisting people write about it and--- anyway I'll delete my reblog, I'm sorry, I'll shut up, I know nothing.

Enjoy your day, Anon, I'm responding to this at 4am because I can't sleep. I hope it's nice where you are, in my country we're meant to be "celebrating" a day where white people invaded. Our PM is too busy worrying about some tax cuts that he said he'd do but never did or something (yeah we get it, Albo, move on, also yes we call him Albo), anyway maybe he'll announce today a change of date. Oh Anon, he's not all bad though, he tried to do a public vote to get an indigenous person in parliament (would've been handy for matters such as today's) and the other party ran a scare campaign to make people vote no. This country isn't really great and--

Why am I giving this anon the entire history of Australia
