Less than 24hrs to go before Fedivision 2024 kicks off!!

So many amazing and talented artists submitting 72 Original songs written specially for Fedivision and we are less than 24 hours away from hearing those submissions and voting for your favourites!

Each entrant was asked to provide a fictional faction to represent in the Fedivision Song Contest. Each of these factions has a four-letter code associated with it which will be your voting code. For example, my fictional faction is Dizzy Corp. and the four letter code is DIZZ.

Everyone who holds a Fediverse account is eligible to vote for three contestants. A full list of Factions represented, along with their four-letter codes is in the thread below.

Voting will be handled by the Fedivision Vote Bot (@vote) and instructions for how to vote are outlined on the profile page of the Vote Bot.

Be sure to follow the #Fedivision and #Fedivision2024 hashtags, and follow the Fedivision @announce channel for updates!

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Saturday. Today is the 27th anniversary of MrsD and myself. As MrsD would often say "I'd be out by now, for murder"! 😉

I have no idea what we will be doing today. We should be travelling home, but much indecision on MrsD's part, re houses, means we could be here a wee bit longer. Hopefully, your choices for today will be better! Have a good one, stay safe, have fun.

Today's photo is from Cummingston, near Hopeman. There's an awful lot of Gorse!

Did you know... our Solar System has a wall. The heliopause, the region of space in which solar wind isn’t hot enough to push back the wind of particles coming from distant stars, is often considered the “boundary wall” of the Solar System and interstellar space.

No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power... Green Lantern's light!

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 198 , Monday 13/05/2024

Up early for some reason beyond this simple squirrels reasoning.
Tidied up after herself, did my chores & went for a walk in the warm early summer sunshine !

I cannot seem to find the impetus to get stuff done, I work best to a deadline & the only person pushing me at the moment is me, which would be fine but I have minimal motivation levels at the moment.

I’m wondering from day to day like a leaf blowing in the breeze, no direction, no purpose.
At least the days are warm now & a lot sunnier, saving energy is easier , my lone mission to drag our energy bills down is less onerous in the summer.

Final Thoughts.

I suspect that I am going through a depressive episode, I hope I come through to the other side soon.

Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

What's in the same-sex parenting book banned by Cumberland City councillors in Western Sydney - ABC News

"The book explains that there are "many different types of family" and canvases topics including how some children in the book refer to their parents and surrogacy in general terms.

One chapter says "people may be unkind" if you are a child in a same-sex family. "

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 191 , Monday 06/05/2024

So the plan for this morning was, since it was a bank holiday , was a nice long lay in …
I forgot to change my meds reminders 🙄🤦‍♂️

My MiL is still in hospital , waiting for a CT scan, currently no eta , ‘later this week ‘ to quote a spurge in the know 🙄🤦‍♂️

Pottered thru the day , a bit of Fo4 , a bit of reading, a bit of TV.
EDFitis is still a thing.

Watching ‘Argyle’ so far so ‘hmmmm’
Nice plot twist

Final Thoughts.

Back to ‘normal’ tomorrow, this year is slipping past at an astonishing rate of knots !!

Back on the Spirit of the Outback, for the run back to Brisbane. This time I get to enjoy the journey without making notes - always a relief. It's rare to be doing something I'm not making notes about.

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 188 , Saturday 04/05/2024

Up at around 07:30 to a day that promised to be filled with more difficulty than I anticipated it might yesterday morning.

To set the scene:
Last night my MiL , who is very elderly & quite frail but still lives at home with the help of carers , had a fall.
We were contacted by her carers when they found her on the floor as they arrived to make her comfortable for the night.
We live about an hour away by car & both Mrs S. & I had had a few drinks so we had to depend on the carers to sort out getting an ambulance for my MiL who they suspected had broken her leg.
We’ll skip lightly over the fight we had , over the phone , with her to get her to go - she fears the NHS staff might bump her off 🙄🤦‍♂️ .

So we went to bed with all this hanging over our heads.

Thusly we arrive at Saturday morning:
The hospital has called , apparently while in a lot of pain my MiL has just got a sprained ankle. This is good !
They are sending her home later , but Mrs S. has a somewhat fraught relationship with her mum so while we are on standby in case anything untoward happens she is letting the hospital sort out returning her Mum home.
This sits uncomfortably with me, I feel that herself should make some effort here.
Don’t get me wrong she gets her mums shopping once a week , & see’s to her administrative well being, but when a loved one (even a semi estranged one) is in distress I think that one should step up.
Once I would have pushed the point, but I no longer have the spoons to deal with the resulting fallout, so I will keep my thoughts to myself & let the situation play out as it will.

We spent an uneasy afternoon watching TV, waiting for the phone to go, finally got a a call late this afternoon, turns out that they are keeping my MiL in hospital, sounds like they suspect a possible broken hip & have scheduled a CT scan for tomorrow .

Watching the last of the Terminator franchise (Dark Fate) while eating Chinese takeaway.

Final Thoughts.

Sometimes plans change in a heartbeat due to reasons way out of our control, once again I will spend an uneasy night wondering if my MiL is ok.

I wish that Mrs S. & her mum had a better relationship , it disturbs me at a fairly fundamental level that herself is yet to check in with her mum either in person or on the phone.

Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖
