Australia

My life is pretty great all things considered. But in about an hour I'm walking down to the local primary school to cast my 'yes' vote for the referendum.

Info here: https://www.yes23.com.au/

The 'no' vote is tipped to win.

So, later this evening I'll get confirmation that nothing has changed in my country. We're still a backwards, racist society who doesn't give a fuck about our indigenous population.

For me, as an indigenous person who is also upper middle class and in one of the most affluent cities in the country, life is pretty good. But the same can't be said for many others who don't share my privilege. And my country is about to tell them, loud and clear, that they don't care. Didn't care 40 years ago, don't care now.

I think you're busy having an argument with yourself.

I put interstellar on when I feel like a good blub. Very cathartic.

I swear my friends look at me differently after that game. I'm far too good a liar.

Someone posted a survey they'd received in regards to a beef stroganoff recipe, asking them when they wanted to received notifications. One of the options was 'only if something big happens' (paraphrasing from memory).

Absurd and ridiculous, so it's been picked up as a meta thing (you'll see people commenting about whether something big has happened), but others don't know the origin so now we're just seeing general beef stroganoff themed memes and puns.

But I love this meme format. I've no beef with it.

Fair dos. When I'm swimming proper I'll look into a fully contained waterproof option. Thanks for your input!

Yeah so I won't be underwater with the bones phones (they're only resistant) I'm just using a kickboard for leg rehab - phone will be pool side and I'm hoping the 10m distance allows me to use them. If not, waterproof option for the emitting device is ideal
