Fraid that @gaurabama can relate

My grandfather has a brain thing right now that makes it hard for him to talk in more than one word sentences but he can understand people just fine and lately it’s been kinda pissing me off how many healthcare providers talk to him like he’s five years old. Like he can understand you. He can answer yes or no questions. We just told you that. You don’t have to talk about him to me like he’s not here.

Ah yes, a bureaucratic shitpost

i did a bit that got so much attention the aussie pm legally has to look at it

so when oscar won the ausgp, the ausgp admin posted this

so i then went to the aus gov site and jokingly submitted an e-petition assuming it would get thrown out

it did not get thrown out. instead, it was then opened to signatures

when a petition gains over 50 signatures , it gets referred to a minister.

we got 171 signatures. today i received an update on which minister it got referred to.

it got referred to the bloody prime minister of Australia. albo. albo has to legally read and respond to this petition. it's likely to be denied but. still. it's on the goverment's desk.

also as a consequence, this document exists:

Now that's funny!

Something that needs to be normalized is that we should all have the right to not be lonely; we should all be okay with being emotionally vulnerable with someone; with needing a shoulder to cry on during times of emotional turmoil; with being willing to be the shoulder for someone else to cry onto; with being respectful and supportive of each other; with being able to say "don't worry. I'm here. Everything is going to be okay." to others, and to listen to such words in turn from others.

Oof
