Ok, its official. I'm in love with Livius.

Livius' anesthetic wore off during the process of turning him into a cyborg, so he's very much not finished. His brain's a bit scrambled, and he can't remove the police cuffs from his arms. But he's a good guy!

so yk those 'rules to living in the rural south' things...?? well I felt silly and made one for Australia.

FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME IF ANYTHING IS WORDED TERRIBLY OR INCORRECT.

:D

Rules to living in and visiting Australia

1. Nowhere is out of the observation of the past Elders eye- they are everywhere, even in the cities. This does not mean they are bad.

2. Acknowledge the traditional people and owners of the land, and the Elders past, present and future.

3. Never assume whose land you're on. There are many. Ask the locals- or ask the aboriginal community. They will know.

4. Go to the Aboriginal centres. They will teach you plant knowledge. They will teach you bush tucker. They will teach you.

5. Go to a scouts meeting if you can- and follow their rules.

6. Learn to do a cooee, and learn properly. That'll help.

7. Stick to the bloody paths. Don't get lost.

8. if you are in rural Australia, you are closer to the Elders. Respect them.

9. As well as that, don't follow that light that moves unnaturally. they are tricksters. They are Min Min lights, and they are also Aboriginal spirits.

10. They'll tell you to worry about dropbears and hoopsnakes. Don't, they are myths. Don't worry about the Elders either- they are mostly kindly. But if you need to worry, worry about the stories of monsters from the Dreamtime. Worry about how you didn't follow the rules. That's worth worrying about.

11. Respect is key, yet so is benevolence. You help someone, often they'll help you back. At least, I will.

12. Don't take more than what you need- take a lamandra leaf for everyone who needs it- but don't take many from one bush, and don't pick new ones unless you need them. Eat the lili pilis, and don't carry them because they'll be ruined. Simple.

13. Don't harm the bush, whatever you do. If you are kind to the land, it will be kind to you.

14. Leave a trail with patterns. Not your jumper, nor clothing, that's a bad idea- it may get cold, there may be bugs. There may be other things. You need your clothes.

15. Learn from the locals.

16. Learn from the Elders.

17. Have fun, and follow the rules.

of course you can take this seriously, of course you don't have to. my writing, I have my take on it, you have yours.

So, there's a lot of USians around who are very clearly fucking fed up with their political choices this election cycle, and planning to sit it out.

And I get it! What's the point of voting if there's no one to vote for?

The thing is, I'm Australian. In Australia, voting is compulsory. We don't get to sit out our elections, and I'll be real honest with you - we don't exactly get better choices than you lot. So how do you vote if there's no one to vote for? You find someone to vote against. And there's always someone to vote against.

Now, we have the pleasure of preferential voting in Australia - We get to rank every candidate from 1 to X, and I'll tell you, there's something so cathartic about putting the biggest bastard of the lot at the very bottom of your preferences. I understand that USians don't get that option - you get to mark one person, and that's it.

That means that you get one shot, so aim it at the biggest bastard of the lot. The candidate you most utterly detest. Put your vote in the worst possible place for them. Don't even think about who that vote's going towards, that's not the point. Remember, every vote is a vote against someone. Make sure you fuck up that someone's election day!

#politics #american politics #voting #australian voting #if you can't be proud be petty #your vote can always fuck up a politician's day #why would you ever give up such an opportunity?

I don't know why, but I like the idea of humans being to aliens, what cats are to humans...

Alien1: hey, when did you hire a human?

Alien 2: we didn't. They just wandered aboard one day, saying they wanted to "hitch a ride." Then they never left. I think they like it here.

Alien 1: the human distribution system has chosen.

***

Alien stares at the human, who has climbed up a very high shelving unit.

Alien: Human, get down before you hurt yourself.

The humans response is to climb higher.

***

Alien is secretly filming their human, who is spaced out and just staring at nothing.

Alien (whispering): I think the human is about to intercept the brain cell. (Laughter) don't worry human, if it tingles that means it's working.

One thing that I am 100% convinced would send an alien into cardiac arrest is sweating.

It sounds stupid but think about it: apart from horses, humans are the only species on earth that can sweat so it's not a far stretch to believe it would be incredibly rare in extraterrestrials as well.

Just imagine, one day the AC in the main engine room is broken and everyone starts panting like crazy because of the heat, but the human? Just keeps working like usual? It's not like they aren't affected by the heat at all, but they aren't breathing quite as hard as the rest and everyone thinks ahh yes, humans must have extreme durability to heat coming from that death planet. And then. The human starts melting?!?? And suddenly everyone is panicking because their human is leaking all sorts of important nutrients, metals and water out of every pore - are they dying? Surely this cannot be normal!

And the human has to explain that, no they are perfectly healthy and yes it is actually just the human body's way of cooling itself down and no they don't think it's "the coolest thing ever!!", wait till it starts to smell!

#humans are eldritch horrors #humans are space orcs #humans are space oddities #humans are deathworlders #humans are space australians

sometimes life is very boring and no one will throw ANY frisbee at ALL and all you can do is curl up in your new pallet bed and bitterly eat pieces of your headrest
