In 2014 I wanted to do something similar to this. Take a picture every day. And for almost 3 years I did. Nearly every day I took a picture until one day it just sort of stopped. A daily habit for over 1000 days turned into about 25 occurrences in 150 days. Then it stopped. The last picture was taken the day I left red deer to move to lloydminster to move into the house I bought shortly after.



When I look at the old pictures I don't see anything good. Its all regret and embarassment, I wasn't happy in those pictures either. The same two emotions that have dominated my life since I was 3 years old, as far back as I can remember.

I just went and shaved out of disgust at what I saw what I look like unshaven. So I had to stare at myself for 15 minutes shaving disgusted at myself. I looked horrible for years consecutively because I didn't shave, have proper haircuts or take care of acne and I'm covered in acne scars forever now because of it. My hair is thinning and falling out and my skin is ruined: the damage is permanent. What an unbelievable waste. I was crippled by so many people for so long I didn't know to even fix anything about myself.

I spent 3 years resisting starting the pictures again and I don't know why. I don't know why I did that. I kept telling myself that it was too late to start again and I had already waited too long. I probably told myself that after a month after the last picture and kept saying it. The same reason I kept denying myself trying wow again and so many other things. "It's already too late".

Last friday my psychologist referral finally came through and the receptionist offered to help me figure out how insurance coverage works because I didn't know which was extremely nice of her. She said she'd call me back on Monday after figuring it out. I've heard nothing back. I went through all of my insurance documents again to finally figure it out myself and there is actually an applicable clause hidden in there for mental health. Obviously the answer is call the psychologist's office and stop waiting to get the appointment arranged but I'm too embarrassed and stupid to have made the call yet.

What the shit.

Yeah you can see a psychiatrist for free through your clinic/GP but the wait times are abysmal and they're just doctors who will diagnose and prescribe to the best of their ability. Long term repeat-session talk therapy is still out of pocket/minimally covered by employer health plans, though as said there are free therapists but they're either "you only get to see me three times and I'm a student trying to get my degree" style or the therapist equivalent of a public defender lawyer.

Word. I really felt great about my time with a student therapist when I lived in Philly, he was absolutely excellent and it was only $25 a session, I was in crisis going twice a week. My new guy is $88 a visit and so I cant go as often as Id like and sometimes its like whelp I gotta get new tires, no therapy this month so I get it.

Because the polar cell has been failing for like 14 months. This is kind of, like, the end of the world.


Typically, the poles have tight pockets of cold air that does neat stuff like push the jet stream away, keep the ice frozen, maintain precipitation patterns, and more! Now, because we done hosed up the atmosphere, that tight pocket is starting to look like those flappy arm men outside car lots. Just super cold air blending down into super warm air and all of it loving with everything everywhere. When its done well have an equable climate which is a fun thing to google while you imagine what happens to all the life that got used to our current climate, ice ages and all, over the last 66 million years or so.

If you're a knowledge worker I think it's pretty easy. I have a few friends who got citizenship.

The only thing I will say is that not being a citizen disqualifies you from getting a security clearance which basically disqualifies you from all government work

gently caress no. It's nearly impossible to stay permanently without marrying an Aussie. My visa currently has a 31 month wait for approval. You can stay for two years pretty easily though if you're young and don't mind working in slave conditions on a farm in the outback for part of it

Also Melbourne weather is amazing by Canadian standards. Sure it goes between 18c and 45c within hours but I'll take it.
