โWhy arenโt people making the kind of old-world classical sculptures and oil painting I like anymore?โ I dunno dude why arenโt you providing an artist with a full time salary and residence on your property so they can focus on nothing but making one painting for three years.
@ShelCalopa They did the same thing at our local Coles last year.
It feels like they (shops) squeeze the bejesus out of everything that used to feel a bit special and magical when we didnโt spend the 4 months beforehand getting it shoved down our throats ๐ซค
Not only did I have the joyful experience of prising a manky old bit of kangaroo tail (I think) out of the dog's jaws on the way out for our walk, but the little ratbag managed to grab it again when we got home so I had to do it a second time. I'm sure it won't be the last time๐
@UKHamlet @erryn_lee Iโm in Australia too and itโs been used for โdisreputableโ for as long as I can remember. I donโt think Iโve ever heard it used in anything American
@glendalarke I've always been fascinated by the bark of Australian trees, ever since I was a kid. There's something about the colours and textures that I find really magical, especially gum trees.
#AusWrites Dec 14 The best writerly thing that's happened to me this year was having my short fantasy story "Saltbush Blue" published in the @DeadsetP spec fic anthology #WhereTheWeirdThingsAre
It's one of my favourite pieces of 'own writing'
#AusWrites Dec 10, my go-to grammar check? Well kind of myself and I do use Word as a bit of a guide.
I tried installing Grammarly for a while but it couldn't handle Aussie slangauge and fiction writing style, so I ended up ditching it.
#Auswrites Dec 12 family tradition. Usually driving halfway across the country in one direction or other eating pieces of Christmas cake that one of my dearest friends sends me every year
