What everyone wants to belong to is a community but they keep winding up in audiences instead and I think this is the cause of a tremendous amount of suffering right now. – @girlziplocked
You don’t realise how much parenting changes you until after you put your daughter to bed you find yourself standing in front of the TV to find out how this episode of Peter Rabbit ends.
Saw these guys, far from home, in Darwin, the Young Tigers.
What if, perchance, we weren’t all in this together?
The reason I’ll stay a wedding celebrant as long as they’ll have me, despite pandemics and BS, is because of the bizarre and beautiful relationship I have with our couples.
Emailing with a couple at the moment and they’re literally looking into ways to get an exemption for me to be with them at their wedding in California.
Despite 2020, the wedding industry is still the best place to be employed.
Except for working at KFC of course. The easy and direct access to fried chicken is obviously really cool.
Also, as much as I’d like to have that fancy new Microsoft Android thing, I’m firmly we’d to the idea that I don’t want Google’s fingers in my pockets.
Best karaoke song to sing if you want to establish that you didn’t start the proverbial fire, but also, that you’re really knowledgeable about world history?

It’s been 183 days since the first postponement email. The longest 183 days of my life. 154 displaced weddings and elopements. Some couples are onto their third, fourth, and fifth wedding or elopement date or location. 46 cancelled flights to 15 different countries. $67,200 in cancelled invoices for future elopements or weddings. Thousands more lost to non-refundable accomodation, ferries, etc and about $20,000 tied up in travel vouchers. If anyone wants to fly Brussels Airlines before December 31 I’ve got some vouchers. Who knows the actual real cost to our business (me + The Elopement Collective). 3 court appearances coming up because we couldn’t refund and the couple didn’t want to reschedule.
1 virus.
I’m ready for all of this to be over now. How has Covid-19 affected you?
Five Darwin observations:
-
Where the goal for people in many cultures is to become a doctor or a lawyer, in Darwin it’s to become an air-conditioning salesperson or refrigeration mechanic.
-
The true status symbol of greatness in Darwin is to drive a dust-stained Toyota 4WD. Everyone else is a lesser than.
-
There are an inordinate number of retired airstrips in the region, which would be really helpful if you had lots of planes you needed to land at once.
-
The flies here are much more motivated than the common fly in the rest of Australia. The territory flies have a deep-rooted belief that your skin is merely masking the best thing a fly could ever want, like searching for the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, flies are intent for getting literally under your skin.

There is a coffee conspiracy in Darwin. My current understanding is that a mean person banned good coffee beans from ever coming to Darwin and if you are visiting there is a thriving black market for smuggled quality coffee beans. This is a guaranteed method of instant wealth.

Everyone talks about a Darwin sunset. Charlestown delivered.

I just read the line in a headline “Oprah’s favourite life coach” and all I want to know is how to remove the taste of vomit from your mouth if you’re not carrying mints.

Hey can someone just quickly explain literally everything to me. I think I missed something.

📷 In the Northern Territory of Australia termites have been exiled from the urban areas and forced to make their own homes in the bush.
Abandoned by humans and the government the termite people gather dust from their surrounds and build cathedrals, sacred mounds that these vermin call home.
