oh if Georgina vibes with you I'd also check out Delilah Bon as a modern artist who tackles that a lot in her music

it's the time of year again to fall in love with Chumbawamba's 1994 album Anarchy.

Homophobia is an (unfortunately) evergreen sob/cry/frfr track but other still relevant ones that I'm glad to be giving more listen time:
- Love Me (fuck liberals)
- Georgina (vengeance song for every DV survivor)

"HESTA, which has been mostly offline since April in a planned seven-week outage"

@shmouflon fuzzy, startled, ready to leap away if Teams makes one more bloody sound? guess we're back to work.

doing a intro group email to a few of the ones i know, providing a small bio and asking if they're happy to do the same so we can work out from context who might be an intended recipient.

also so if any of us are in a bind or have questions in another's wheelhouse we have a little rolodex of "i might know a guy" and it's just another person with the exact same name.

Man writes ‘Final’ in the version control table of the document, God laughs

the problem with getting an early gmail account is i have the firstname.lastname@ for my old name and i often get misaddressed email for other people with my (old) name. I've worked out there's at least four of us and I'm trying to find out their correct emails so I know who to forward what.

@jpm yes! and to people who say the Adriatic doesn't count then arguably Spain might not be Mediterranean (Balearic and Alboran seas) or Monaco (Ligurian sea)

some people don't consider Portugal a Mediterranean country, there's obviously solid arguments for that.

in that case, the only country in the Indochina region that historically has not been Mediterranean (at some point) is Thailand!

Portugal shares no coast with the Mediterranean Sea but does share a land border with Spain.

France shares a coast with the Mediterranean sea (thus undeniably Mediterranean, much like Tunisia and the United Kingdom). France also shares a land border with Suriname in South America (Guiana being a French state) and Suriname only achieved independence from the Dutch in '75.

if you consider Portugal a Mediterranean country, until 1975 the Netherlands was also a Mediterranean country.

@shmouflon chillin' in sunbeams? is it okay if Cushion and Snowy come to join?

thinking again about how Sherlock Holmes is the easiest IP to keep re-adapting because you can always have Dr Watson be a veteran from a war in Afghanistan.

@Ex_spurt took me a while to get back into it, but having an automatic watch has been good - both so i'm not checking my phone as much and also so i can be a smug prick when someone says "my smartwatch battery is flat"

Top Secret implies the existence of Bottom Disclosure

@jpm yes! that one and your Top Secret / Bottom Secret post got me thinking :P

people came to the defense of Ben Roberts-Smith because he was a "top operator" who in the heat of battle made some mistakes.

but since the defo trials it's pretty obvious he's a bottom operator with a massive humiliation kink and his incredibly submissive attitude towards Kerry Stokes.

@az Warming up for your performance of Pink Pony Club?

@shmouflon Standing tall, looking out into the weekend, floppy ears ready for for chats and listening out for ice cream van to give Puds an early heads up?
