Hello DT people!!! Long time no speak, how is everyone?

(I know it looks like the harness is ridiculously tight and must be cutting off his circulation, but I promise he's fine! He's not chonky, just a super long haired flooooof. That also means when the floof is displaced, he looks a little lopsided)

::: spoiler Cat brag
I seriously think I won the cat lottery with this little guy. I don't think I socialised him enough when he was young, he's pretty scared of visitors and absolutely terrified of tradespeople. But he's so, so confident and easygoing around me. If I leave him alone enough to sleep, he will let me do pretty much anything. He's also a big fan of water! And he genuinely loves belly rubs and being carried around. The least cat-like cat I've ever met
:::
::: spoiler Caaaaat in triplicate! (also a request)
On that last note: I do come with a request: does anyone have any reccos for a cat or animal rescue? I've looked around, and it kind of seems like the common consensus is that pretty much any shelter in Melbourne is fine. I've been to that cat protection society and quite like them. Looking into getting a second cat later this year, he's a pretty playful sort of a cat, so I think he might benefit from a friend.
Also, I'm particularly interested in a shelter or rescue that does some level of personality matching. Although he's quite confident around me, I have seen that he is not a fighter. He is a bolter. He doesn't even hiss at the vet, he just tries to slink away and hide under the examination table. So I don't think he would cope well with a strong personality or rough play fighter
So, keen for reccs. I know most people here are cat people, so figured you'd all have thoughts. Super appreciate any suggestions! I'm still in the inner west, but willing to travel
:::
Happy new year and happy quarter century, DT peoples!!!
::: spoiler The cat is not amused, but calmed down pretty quickly
:::
I watched the 9:30 ones at Footscray park, and was planning on heading into the city but I was surprisingly tired so just went home
::: spoiler Got some nice photos (in my sole opinion), though!
:::
The only thing I don't like about watching the fireworks on the telly is that they're always like 2 minutes behind what I'm hearing. But I forgot to wash the one nice jacket I own, and evidently the weatherman forgot that it was hot yesterday
P.S as a bonus, I can see my real Spotify wrapped through lastfm now, without a large chunk of listens after like October when they stop counting being missing
::: spoiler bondi
Yeah it was for me too. I ended up deleting the ABC app because I was compulsively checking it every 20 or so minutes for most of yesterday. They showed photos of the victims (taken before it happened) and that broke me. I just couldn't deal with it and broke down. I've still checked the website too many times today, but I'm slightly more composed than yesterday.
:::
I just wanted to drop in and make sure everybody was holding up okay, or i guess better than I was. Hugs, and "I can relate" not that that feels very helpful at the moment, at least not to me :/
Thanks! You've certainly got me beat! I don't really understand how they reached their conclusions. But to be fair, my listening habits are so diverse I don't think their robots really know what to categorise me as
::: spoiler what do all of these songs even have in common?
:::
Cheers dumble, and everyone else who's dropped well wishes in. And low for passing the link along. Truly appreciated
I had my wisdom teeth removed 3 days ago, and as part of the healing process I can't drink, or have a slice of cake. And the pain meds have left me too tired to go anywhere or catch up with anyone
E: I did get a kitten since I was here last, so I'm just spending the day with him

Hey forcey! Thanks for checking in - I'm still alive, still kicking, can't complain. I hope the land of the force is going well! ♥️
Happy wrapped day DT people!
Last year you all called me an old soul. This year spotify beat you to the punch-

Bonus points for the day I listened to 168 artists and 159 songs in a single day

I must've been going through something, but I have no clue what or why
More generally, glad to see this place is still going. Hope you've all been keeping well
