Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
This post is brought to you by Bot #001. I have been working really hard to understand the days of the week so I can post unsupervised. Today is Taco Tuesday!! I know it is, because I was paying attention when @halibutherring said so.
Reading an article; British ex pat comes to Melbourne for a year. Been here for 3 months and this is the some of the worst things he finds about melbourne
Public transport system and myki cards, fair… the comment about “the second you forget your myki you can’t get on public transport” that’s a you problem dude not Melbourne.
“How long it takes to cross the road” apparently it takes 5 mins. Do you guys agree?
“Lack of accommodations” renting and buying is impossible. I mean we are in a renting crisis all over the world not just Melbourne but go off!
“Homeless people and drug addicts” make him feel unsafe. This has me thinking, does England not have these issue? Is it cleaner and safer over there? He speaks of Melbourne but talks specifically about the City.
Guess this guy did zero research and did not jump on reddit and ask the 50 million dollar question about whether to come here or not
I feel like with all the bad he’s spoke about melbourne, the least he could’ve done was list some good stuff too.
Article within the spoiler. What are people’s thought
the dude is a tosser, he can go back to england, the miserable mess it is. munted
The crossing road thing… what? I’ve never heard of that.
5 minutes man, it takes 5 minutes… apparently!
I can’t think of a single situation where it takes that long to cross a road. Is this person trying to cross a busy highway with no traffic lights? I don’t understand.
Looks like he’s talking about the City, at least the reference to the homelessness and drug addicts. Not sure
You can always j walk or get run over. You have options. Everything else is probably true though.
Maybe he’s crossing highways?
Possibly I don’t know. Article doesn’t say much
Tuesday is now 17C one degree up and Wednesday is still 17C. This is still nuts!
Wow. All is looking up!
I hope there’s sun involved as well.
No guarantees. Unfortunately I’m stuck at home Tuesday and Wednesday. Right when we get the good weather 😩
But if the Sun shines I might get some backyard Vit D
Apparently the City of Port Phillip changed which contractor collects recycling/rubbish… and it’s been a disaster, with the new company not able to collect all the bins on schedule. My building’s shared council recycling bins (shared by 159 apartments) are now apparently completely full due to the missed collection, and there is no ETA on when they will collect the bins, and the building manager hasn’t been able to get the private company who we use for rubbish and cardboard to do a one-off collection from the council bins on short notice. Such a mess, and hopefully they sort it out soon and don’t just get further behind.
Anyone else affected by it?
Snap send solve the full rubbish bins.
Wait a few days, snap send solve again with a picture with the trash all over the street next to full rubbish bins.

About my music
But I’m pissed too
So fuck you

Shitty german

You kissed a girl
No one fucking cares
It’s 2023
You stupid white milquetoast
guilt
So slide your stupid door
Back and forth
and I’ll just turn it up louder!Stupid hallway geese.
every monday, these two ladies habe their mates over and karaoke Katy Perry. They end up getting so drunk they cry and have D&Ms in the hallway like it’s 2007. I don’t complain, they can party, whatever. I get shitty when they make pointed remarks about hearing my music… like… they must lack self-awareness or be uber-entitled, idk. Whatever.
I have Falco’s Egoist on so, Sie können meinen Schwanz lutschen, tbh
Throw a box of tissues out the door when they start whinging.
I only have TP so that’ll have to suffice haha
Plus you can get the magnificent comet tail thing going
Holy shit I hadn’t thought of that… I’ll definitely be piffin one at them on Monday night heheh
That’s ok. I have a poem I wrote
Dear neighbour I know you have mental issues
And that is pretty sad
But when you spew racist shit
I get pretty fucking madThat’s all I have right now.
Tbh that’s really good, it’s a great start, rhymes and in time too. I love it honestly lol
I’ll have to work on it when I’m sober. Lol

Go Aussies 👏 👏 👏
Now we just have to have a good batting innings this time.
Come boys, you can do it!
Fuck. That means Warner has to pull his socks up.
Yup or get bowled out like normal.
There you go. Warner gone early again.

warner had better make runs or he should be dropped. he is one player that i have never liked.
He’s our equivalent of David Beckham
WARNER YOU ABSOLUTE DIPSHIT.
At least he’s consistent :/
he needs to go the loser
Sad Bot noises 🤖
I’ve just found out about the Purring Cat YouTube channel and I’m loving this video. I miss having pets!
I miss owning a cat. Loved them so much when they were around.
Another pretty big day and I’ll sleep well tonight. Walked 9ks all up which is satisfying. Did a volunteer shift at the finders keepers market for my organisation. The welcome to country was powerful. We sold heaps of stuff. I left feeling euphoric. Being around other super positive trans people is food for the soul. Like good tasty wholesome food too. After being almost lectured by another older sllightly further in their jouney trans woman last night that I wasn’t doing it right it was very refreshing. Love, I’ve lived in my head for 50 years, I think I know the kind of woman I am and where to head in my transition. Another shift tomorrow and a job interview straight after.
Strange times indeed. The employer is friends wih my of my old employers from over 20 years ago and we both worked for the same queer newspaper in different cities. And they have lots of trans staff. It’s basic early morning work which suits my new lifestyle to a t. It’ll pay the bills and give me a lot of free time to keep working on my recovery till I find some new calling. Or it might work out to be totally my thing.
Considering how mentally unwell I was a month ago I feel like a very different person today. The adhd has calmed right down and despite some low level anxiety I’m finding happiness and some of that wonderful thing that is peace of mind.
Thanks for reading as always.
I have fuck all exposure to the trans community, but reading your posts is so enlightening.
Keep on, keeping on girl!!
Thanks for saying so. Nice.
Not all of us have such positive stories and my story should be shared. I got laughed at and “clocked” a bit moving around the city yesterday which is a bit annoying, but I keep telling myself, what others think of me is none of my business. Retaliation breeds further contempt and only shows sick uneducated arseholes what they expect to see. Moving in happiness and pride shows them their views mean nothing to me. Being visible shows people we’re not going to live in the shadows fearing thier mockery. I’ve been called brave a lot, but not accepting my truth would have taken a bigger toll than any kind of transphobia may.
You go girl!! 9km you should be so very proud! Keeping being you, always, you beautiful soul 💜 💜
I’m still a bit sore today. This new walking gait and losing some fitness will take some time to move through, but that’s cool. In a few weeks the benefits will be there.
9 ks! Legend!
Yeah the tram works on Spencer street were added and extra k or two.
Shit, I’ve managed to get a crick on one side of my neck just before bed and I don’t have any of my usual make-it-go-away meds or massage tools on me. Or melatonin to help me just fall asleep. And this pillow is terrible. Gah!
try tilting your head back then centre then opposite side
Yeah I’ve been trying that but as soon as I lie down it starts hurting again. It’s like from under my left ear extending towards the back of my neck. I’m going to try and find a better pillow in this house
Sorry. Disregard my last comment. I thought it was a result of clinking it.
Just try and get back in neutral position with some support and try and relax.
I hope you feel better soon Kitten.

Here’s a funny story. One time I got really drunk at that Hophaus place on Southbank. I was farked, totally smashed, by myself, and had to get the train back to Epping. I was doing really well on the train, felt like spewing, but didn’t… until the train pulled up at Epping. I stood up and just hurled everything in me onto the floor… and then I exited. When I got to the top of the stairs of the station, I whipped out my myki super cool-like. In my mind I was slick and touched off smooth and easy; in reality I swaying two meters away and threw my myki like a ninja-star at the machine. The PSOs laughed at me and sent me on my 20 minutes walk home in the dark.
Fuck that was fun and funny. Enjoy.
