fucken hell, incident on werribee line, very tall muscular arsehole threatens to kill the muslims in the carriage

people crowd around the muslims in carriage to protect

at the next stop I got off and called emergency line, cops and train driver informed within 1 minute

i'm not scared, just angry

That's freaking terrifying. I hate that festering pustules like this can have so much power. Hope he gets put away for a good while
- will he?
  I imagine he will say he said and did nothing serious
  would witnesses come forward?
  maybe there are cameras in carriages
You did exactly the right thing (brother is a train driver). There are protocols for dealing with such arseholes, and he's in a world of hurt right now. The railways take that sort of behaviour very seriously - not just the vilification laws apply here. Remember the emergency button next to each door - it's there for this purpose.
- I looked for the button, could not find it it
  to actually yell in a public place, in a train carriage where people are captive, that he is going to kill , to rattle his bag, to say he had heavy objects in his bag, **that was some very very serious shit **
  he told us who he was
  he told us who he hates
  he gave his justification, ie people who are against him deserve to die
  he rattled his weapons
  he told us what he was going to do
- 🎶 Here comes the judge
Omg that's horrible 😞
- I am both 🤬😭
  makes me so sad that people were threatened and were scared
  also makes me ashamed, Australia is where people come to be safe
Coward.
This is why I started muay Thai.
- If that dude happens to be fucked up on meth I could be a 5-time Australian MMA champion and I'd give him a w i d e berth.
Jesus, I'm glad you're ok.
I'm so sorry you and the others in the carriage had to go through that, what an awful situation. You did so good to call for help and I love to hear that others helped. What a shitty, shitty thing for that man to do. Look after yourself tonight, you are such an amazing person.
- there was a young kid who got off at the same station as me, he was a witness in the same carriage but at the other end and he helped with details for the cops. He was a little shook up.
  I've been wondering if I over reacted but the targets of this guy's threats were terrified. It was real. 😐
That's so scummy. I hope he goes to jail, repeats that to a large group of the people he's racist towards, and enjoys his reward... Racists seem to be getting bolder and I wish something would smack them back into their holes.
It really sucks that I wouldn't be able to do much to physically protect anyone in that situation. You did so well.
Edit: I've also thought that it's really dumb to make people push the emergency button in plain view of an aggressive arsehole, especially if you're required to verbally give the carriage number or tell them the situation. Because that might draw the aggression onto the person alerting the driver and even escalate the situation. I know there's STOP IT but that's non-urgent and wouldn't get real time help
- : I’ve also thought that it’s really dumb to make people push the emergency button in plain view of an aggressive arsehole,
  this is the other reason i did not do it
  just trying to keep it low key
  : wouldn’t get real time help
  yup

Fluff brigade

Can I take the little dark tabby floof at the back home with me?
- I will happily pick them up for you. This Fluffball rubs up against my legs.
look at all those fluffy tails 😻
- They seem healthy, but I was supposed to trap them so they can be deflead and deworned but work has gotten in the way.

Got to do some grocery shopping for the weekend, tackle Mt Washmore and very little else. I've got lunch planned for tomorrow; there's pumpkin, spinach and ricotta lasagna with roast vegetables and a couple of schnitzels for the kids. Looking forward to it!

Biscoff is not good enough to merit a collab with literally every food brand in existence. They must be spending an absolute fortune.

I’m not sure what you’re saying here. If you combine Biscoff with a spoon, something magical happens..
- Biscoff is in Big spoons pocket is what he's saying
- Biscoff spread, omg yes. Biscoff on biscoff for biscoff's sake... IDK.
Right! Like Aperol a couple of summers ago. Why is it everywhere?!
The first few times I tasted it I loved it, but I got sick of it pretty quickly. I've got a half used jar I bought for something I made that's probably due to be chucked out.
- Just wanna say you're cool as hell!
Biscoff is the poor man's speculaas!
No, really!

Homeward bound. 20 mins until my train back to Melbourne. Had a great time and met my good friend's friends. He hired a company that makes fire cooked pizza, they drive in with a trailer of two wood fired pizza ovens and supplies, and kept us fed with fresh pizza for hours. Quite buzzed and glad I didn't stay longer or I'd be toast

Looks like Bazza is installing on the old work laptop now. Bitlocker was getting in the way so I used command prompt to reformat the drive.

I had to use Windows to destroy the Windows.

Oh how poetic
- It's going to take a bit more work, but at least I have a massive partition of spyware out of the way for the moment

Waffle fries are the superior potato shape and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.

Edit: why yes fuck head uber eats scooter guy, come onto the footpath while I'm right there and almost run me over.

Fuck this suburb. 4 months to go.

There is no ~~war~~ Tuesday 27 February in !melbourne@aussie.zone

I just want to introduce the newest member of my family.

A deformed lemon.

I'm calling it Sharlene or Nasum.

How about Bert?
- lol. yep bert it is!

ok, now i'm starting to feel teary and shaky

this wasn't a meth head, this was a fanatic , he spouted fanatic beliefs and hate

I heard that the Tetris preventing ptsd thing is a myth but just in case it isn't? https://play.tetris.com/
- thank you 😘😭

Helped aunt out with what turned out to be some rather disastrous painting of some old cabinetry with wall paint and wall tiles with metal paint. I am not good at this but it was fun helping out and tidying out some insanely messy areas. The place looks so different now, absolutely not suitable for old people but I'll be sad to see it go and not get to visit them there. Anyway I'm properly pooped. Psyched to get some house chores smashed tomorrow though

My friend is going to Perth today, and I'm going to Waurn Ponds and back. Our travel times will be about the same

I have an errand to run which will get me back home hopefully by 2pm latest then it's gaaaaaaaames all day and guitar all night.

Had an awesome little jam yesterday. When I haven't played for a few days it kinda builds up which is cool.

Also I'm done with cyberpunk. It's my perfect dopamine game so it needs to go for a while.

Enjoy the sunshine ☀️

Finally home.

Shopping is done.

All cats have assorted treats and food (so does the human)

Snacks have been organised.

Now comes the zonk!

Cheaper Buy Miles coming up with the goods today..

I might happen to be in possession of a kilo of Parmesan
- Haha I considered that carefully but was strong and walked away!

I must arise. Late morning marketing and some sunshine strolling is called for

yes, sunshine good 🌞

First time on the Geelong/Warrnambool train line, it's pretty

Except for the dumped rubbish and burnt out cars.
- It's atmosphere

.... audible sigh

Should I ask how it got in the tree to start with?
- My question too lol.
"get shirt out of tree?"
- Correct. Shirt was thrown off whilst trampolining.
I didn't have a clothes line as a kid so we'd drape washed wet clothes over trees n bushes n whatnot.

I’m wondering if it’s ok to email the vet asking for more details on the risks the new vet was referring to when he declined to perform the cystocentosis - and ask that it be done when I tell them it’s needed.

And if there’s any more not being listened to/he’s not confident performing it, potentially even ask that we not be assigned to that vet again.

I don’t want to antagonise her primary care providers and refusing any particular staff member could be problematic when she needs to be seen and they’re the only one available. But that created such unnecessary delay in sorting out treatment while Melbcat was in pain. 🫤

There’s a vet appointment for Melbcat today that I have to decide whether I’m going to keep. I’ll ring and ask.

Edit: Nope, the vet will discuss the results today in consult. Guess after morning meds I’m scraping up the energy to shower and get ready. At least it’s one who’s seen us before.

I tidied a bit yesterday and did one load of laundry but there’s more to go then I have to wash the cups and sweep. Melbcat was sick in the wee hours this morning so I’ll soak that with enzyme cleaner.

My box of antibiotics with a few pills left has racked off into the ether so I’m just going to start the newest box. These are three times daily -_-

Between being careful of my sus tooth socket (which better not be getting infected) and my stomach starting to shut down again I can barely eat anything. My mental health is crumbling.

I’ve woken up tired.

Sending care and strength thoughts in your direction Melbs. May it go smoothly and may Melbcat respond quickly to the antibiotics and may you get some repreive soon.
- Thanks. Hopefully this is just a rough patch!

I'm craving pavlova. Probably shouldn't make one.

Washing done, some life admin done. Time in the sun done, now for food!
