  Yep. Similar, not exactly the same but dad went to a technical school and entered into a trade of sorts, and mum dropped out due to moving a lot and education being different (like she’d learn things she already knew but then didn’t learn stuff that the other kids knew). And education was really important to them, especially because I struggled a lot. I got diagnosed with auditory processing disorder at like 10 but lived with undiagnosed ADHD until like two years ago or so.

  But I went to public school for all of my years. Ended up having to go to Tafe for a few years until I was a mature student (didn’t get the atar I needed) and got into uni with the degree I wanted. And now I’m the first person in my family to have a uni degree. And while it’s great that I could still go and not worry about paying everything up front, it’s still going to worry me for when or if I have to eventually pay off that debt.

  Especially since I want to get a master’s in my field of learning (and eventual PhD but that’s because hardly anywhere recognises Mx as a title). But yeah it’s tough.

  God yeah Tumblr is so frustrating now. Like I get that a site needs to make money and I’m not even opposed to the gimmicks they have. But changing the look of it (which has been changed before but at least it made sense a lot of the time) to what is essentially a clone of Twitter. It’s frustrating to see a site I love so much, decide to kill itself and for what?

  That and also the fact that they allow racism, transphobia, homophobia to fester. You’d think that a site that is pretty popular with the LGBTQIA+ crowd, they sure like to keep people around who would harm us.

  You don’t actually have to take a photo of yourself. If you’re quick enough you can just move the front facing camera to take a photo of the ceiling.

  That’s what I do on days I don’t want to take a photo of myself.

  Honestly I’d recommend watching someone play it to get an idea of if you like it. Steam also has the option to let you “borrow” someone’s account so I’m sure if you have friends playing this you could ask. That’s what I did and enjoyed it so much I ended up buying it.

  No, I hate Sandilands. He’s a dickhead.

  And I also hate the people who listen to him.

  Man, I hate Sandilands so much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coalition will seek to block Labor plan for cheaper medicine after backlash from pharmacies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. I take about four different types of medication, and while they’re cheap because of my concession card, it still stacks up, and I have to remind doctors for repeats, because I also just hate going to the doctors to get script refills.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coalition will seek to block Labor plan for cheaper medicine after backlash from pharmacies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This shit just pissed me off.

  It’s really hard for me to go to the pharmacy due to chronic pain and just getting there in general. So being able to dispense two at a time would be helpful as.

  Liberals are absolute scum.

  Yeah there’s one in the shopping centre where I live in Victoria.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fast food giant to launch 200 stores on our shores⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it’s a hotdog and ice cream chain. I wonder if they’ll have to change the name similar to Hungry Jacks because Burger King was already a restaurant when they came over here.
