winter chill
This is my mid-Winter night time ditty
Penned in bed, for this thread, in this city
My core is icy, I’m a chilly witch’s titty
This poem is sadly neither warm nor witty
My frozen nose inhales the frosted air
Numb fingers typing, fumbling, pale and fair
The cat 'neath the doona doesn’t even care
But if I move he’ll bite me, so I shan’t dare.spoiler
He gazes down from great heights
Slow blinking, happy he’s got cuddles
He’ll beg to be held, my fluffy little light
We’ll sit together, he’ll purr, drool, for a hug puddledid ya write that yourself? :o

Yeah please save them!
old prose from reddit
I could not sleep, awakened afraid
Under the covers, I begged, I prayed,
For dawn, or death, for sleep to come
But mercy ungranted, I knew I was done.
For I committed a most awful crime
One for which we’ve all done time
Exactly the same or slighty changed,
Have we all made this same mistake?
I went to Woolies to buy a snack,
The cashier smiled, I smiled back
Items scanned, transaction completed
She said the words that have me defeated
Smiles and waves, “Enjoy your coffee and snack!”
“You too!” I regretfully cried back
Unthinking, unblinking, mid-step away
I died there, in Woolies, that very day.
So apparently someone is impersonating epicpillowcase and made what I thought was a joke from them but was completely transphobic. Also apparently other fake dupes exist. reported and blocked, but they’ll have another account so it’s fucking useless . who ever you are don’;t think you’ll stop me posting about my amazing journey, and I’ll start calling out the fucking terfs and incels again now as well. just when we thought were untouched by the hands of fuckwits

What? On here? Jeez. So we’ve got a proper troll follow us over. It’ll be that dickhead who popped in early days to throw shade.
Mods dealt with it pretty much immediately after I flagged it. Nowhere is completely bullshit free I guess. My resolve to do more to help us all thrive here is just strengthened by this poor attempt at making us feel upset.

So how do we know anyone is who they say they are if it was a sleeper account? Or epic just got hacked.
No they weren’t hacked, just someone being sick and needing help for thier own resentments
What so someone created an account 6 days ago and waited to do a character assassination? That’s beyond troubling. What else is lying in wait.
They waited for Hongohones to start posting
Terfs are persistent and nasty. I’ve not shied away from telling my truth and this won’t stop me
Omg that’s fucking shit and I’m sorry it’s happened to you. These impersonation of account things I’ve only suspected from what happened to missdarylc account; i saw those posts and wondered what it was about. Now if they’re attacking you, that will not stand. I like when you post about what you’re doing and thinking, it’s very different from my white bread suburban life. My own kids are showing signs of not behaving as is commonly expected of their born gender and I’m happy to just kick back and let them explore it for themselves and support them along the way. I celebrate anyone who has the guts to travel on their own road, and that’s you to a T.
Thaks so much for your support! Thats really good of you, not allowing the euphoria to flow from exploring gender expression at a young age has bad outcomes, ask me how i know…
5ivesos reporting for duty! Hadn’t checked r*ddit for a while and just saw a couple messages from regulars letting me know about this place, thanks @baconmash@aussie.zone and @Sir_ListerOfSmeg@aussie.zone !
I voted open for the r/melb thing but it seems quite off now. Like you get your car back after it was stolen and even though you’ve got it back, it’s just not quite the same…
In other news, throat is sooooore. Had about 100 lozenges. Hoping it goes away on its own, cbf going doctors :(
Yeah that’s my feeling too. Doesn’t help the troubling rumblings from the rest of reddit either.
Panadol x2 twice a day and increase uptake of water see if it helps
I have a literal pharmacy in my bag haha, hitting it with everything I’ve got :) Panadol, nurofen, difflam spray, Vicks, Sudafed, lozenges. And just had a cup of hot milk and now a honey tea lol
Sending you healing vibes. I hope you feel better real soon. Being sick sucks hug
My chicken katsu

I don’t know if it worked properly.
Thanks for all the support lovely people. The community grows stronger with solidarity and I’ll sleep well tonight. Transphobia is actually becoming less common but more nasty because so many of us call it out. The terf numbers are thinning and I feel safe in women’s spaces just like all the women I interact with feel safe with me in them. They won’t win and will find some other marginalised group to target as our marginalisation diminishes, which happens every day we show each other support like you all have tonight. Thanks, my cup runeth over!
epicpillowcase was claiming that a terf had made an account here using their name. They do have some steady downvoters on reddit but seem a pretty accepting person. So just in case you cop some hate here, we’ve got your back and it might not be the authentic EPC. e: As I scroll down I see you’re on it.
definitely wasn’t the real epic, we;re friends and chatted about it last night
Reddit-epic has a hater following them about, talk about not having a life… They get smashed with downvotes so often.
The NTSB investigation into the Billionaires Titanic Submersible is going to be interesting.
I was listening to Raf on ABC Melbourne just now, he had an interview with a CBS journo who went on this very vessel last year. Apparently anyone who goes on it has to have a special diet for a few days before to minimise the need for using the toilet on board, which is basically a piss bottle and ziplock bags for anything bigger. The ‘toilet’ is behind a modesty curtain and they turn the music up to cover any noises. Passengers are not allowed to bring any extra food or drink onboard :0/
It sounds like Colonoscopy prep. Which is done so that your bowels don’t explode due to a gas build up during the operation.
I stayed up to watch the Ashes and it was going so slow and I couldn’t hang on anymore so I went to bed thinking we are doomed anyway. Woke up and found we WON. We won the first test. Woohoo.
This is why I’ve sworn I’ll support tinyest in ANYTHING he chooses to do, but if it’s cricket I’ll be phoning that support in hard. I cannot stand it!
I reckon you’d get into it if Tinyest was doing that. Imagine his little pads and helmet and bat, swinging for the fences and then running which ever direction he’d end up facing. Adorable.
Ehhh. To be honest I’d still rather watch paint dry. Let me put it this way, I’d rather watch him in an episode of MAFS before I had to go to the g on Boxing Day. I’ll support him 200% but dear god I hope it’s anything BUT cricket!
Jesus Christ everyone on r/Melbourne is losing their fucking shit. It’s like a gigantic mess of everyone going off at everyone else. It’s horrible.
I forget and cant be bothered scrolling down but someone put it best by saying the old DT feels empty, even with so many comments.
With that said, I couldn’t see a huge mess - unless I’m missing something? Is it the vote that’s going on that’s a mess?
It just seems like everyone is going off at everyone. If you agree with what’s happening, you’ll be downvoted to hell and argued with by the people who don’t. If you don’t agree with what’s happening, you’ll be a little less downvoted but probably still sit on controversial, and have people who do arguing with you. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Aussie internet community this divided and aggressive about things bsfore
Geeze… usually you get the dickheads in the general comments but this seems like something entirely different.
