I genuinely feel bad for people legitimately trying to collect Pokemon cards these days because with the scalpers buying everything and a lot of retailers seemingly not taking steps to counter them, it just seems like a lost cause :\

I think the Australian government's upcoming social media ban for teens will do far more harm than good but shit like this honestly makes me question that stance

Good old trust thermocline

We looked at pet insurance when our previous GSD was getting into his senior years. They either charged an arm and a leg for sheppie-related ailments or would classify them as ‘pre-existing’ and not cover them at all.

We realised we were better off just putting aside money in a savings account.

I've seen a gouache artist on YouTube ( youtube.com/@SarahBurnsStudio ) whose style I really like show how she uses toned sketchbooks like this and small reference images to do lots of small paintings as a way to trick herself into practicing more, so I'm going to try doing the same.

Big difference between "I'm sorry for the harm I caused other people" and "I'm sorry I'm now facing consequences for my behaviour".

This is clearly the latter.

Did you get many shinies? I had to play from home for most of the second day of the GO Wild event but still managed a handful of new ones.
