This will be my final post on twitter (has never, will never be X!)
I am angry that I'm having to give up a platform I spent years building but due to the state of the site and the person at the helm-- I can't in good conscience continue using it.
You'll find me on Bluesky โ๏ธ๐ฆ
Logging back onto X purely for wholesome purposes-- this is my darling boy Doug who I adopted late last year and who has swiftly become the light of my life ๐พ
To support rescue dogs like Doug, I've joined an RSPCA fundraising skydive taking place in Feb, see the link below โฌ๏ธ

Any & all support is appreciated! I feel so privileged to be giving Doug the most spoiled and joyous life I can, one that every rescue animal deserves and should get the opportunity to have. ๐

@allenlikeshorse Greyhounds canโt be let off leash in Victoria in any public area. I live in an apartment building so I think it would be unfair to a dog to only ever be able to take it out leashed and not let it run free at the beach/dog park etc
Why is it so hard to get a dog, I swear they hand cats out like candy but Iโve applied for multiple dogs from rescues/shelters/orgs at this point and nothing ๐ฅฒ everyone says adopt donโt shop, but it seems actually impossible to adopt?
@JadeBlairxox Aww thank you, heโs beautiful! ๐ฅบ
It is frustrating that apartments are instantly seen as negative when every apartment dog I know lives their best life going to dog parks and beaches daily but Iโve known plenty of suburban dogs that get shunted to the backyard and left there!
@twittyjx I live in an apartment so I canโt chance the pound unfortunately as if it ends up being a heavy barker or anti-social then I canโt keep it away from people easily. I need at least some knowledge of its temperament.
@HornyMaleA Lots of times they just donโt reply, or they reply quickly and say the dog has already been adopted which like.. why is the ad still up for days then? I havenโt had an outright rejection, itโs just hard to even get to the point of meeting one

@TheJesseMoretti @MsBambiLaBelle Universal healthcare has absolutely no drawbacks when compared with a system where people go untreated and unaided due to affordability.
Source: Australian living with a standard of healthcare that means if I need a brain operation tomorrow I get it and pay nothing at the door.
Why is it seemingly not a hate crime @AlboMP for a pregnant muslim woman to be bashed in a shopping centre? Why is it not a hate crime for @HashTayeh business to be fire bombed and then his house subsequently firebombed with his children inside? Why is it not a hate crime when Mosques get attacked and buses are fire bombed? Why is it that Muslim Australians are gaslit, denied of justice? Why is there such disparity of empathy and justice? Itโs because Australia does what it does โbest.โIf there were olympic medals handed out for racism and bigotry Australia would win Bronze after USA (gold) and Israel (silver). I canโt wait for the next election. #auspol #FreePalestine
A disgusting man. Great news to hear the jury's decision. I'm sure sentencing will disappoint, but these victories are so meaningful to individuals and to the community.

@AmandaValentina I guess I just donโt get writing off a city of 5 million people as slow. I donโt know how cities like Sydney would be any better if the size isnโt enoughโ and thatโs a city where you have to work twice as hard just to have the same standard of living as somewhere like Melbourne!
If you make a post talking about how slow a certain location is for work, just remember itโs gonna be a skewed perspective because the only replies youโll get are normally commiserations from others also struggling.
@AmandaValentina Iโd be curious to know what the factors are that you feel have influenced it. Iโve personally never struggled at all in Melbourne and find clients here are pretty decent, but then I keep my rates mid range so as not to price many out and stay in that sweet spot of busy-ness.
I think my days in the broth really steeled me to this notion of it being slow. It always used to be one girlโs slowest day but another girlโs highest earning day. No rhyme or reason to it so you just keep on plodding along.
Which is 100% fine!! We all need to vent sometimes absolutely. This industry can be brutal. But just remember not to despair too much because anyone doing well isnโt gonna comment it bc itโd come off cunty but whole cities arenโt slowโ people just have slow periods
