just updating this – I’m holding off on contacting anyone else just at the moment to give a couple of the orgs I’ve contacted a chance to get back to me. if those don’t work out I’ll contact individual people – I’m trying to keep the overhead of disposal manageable as I’m not local any more & am relying on a friend to provide access
thank you all so much for your interest 💕
hi frens 👋 does anyone in #Melbourne have any contacts who might be interested in #metalworking gear for cheap or free? I’m disposing of my dad’s estate & trying to find good homes for a garage full of equipment, tools, & some scrap metal – including drill presses, a lathe, welders, oxy tanks, etc.…
I’d much rather they go to folks who could make good use of them than have them sold off to a metal scrapper or end up in landfill
if you’re interested or have any leads on someone who might be, pls DM me
ETA: I’ve already contacted quite a few men’s sheds & men’s shed networks in Victoria & the few that I was able to get a response from weren’t able to take anything due to space or focus constraints 😕

It’s still thirty hours until #BandcampFriday but my new album seems to have dropped about a day early!
Time zones!! Am I right? 🤷
Anyway, “Pronounced Jar” is live and you can check it out wherever you get your #music right now!
Dgar has tried to craft an “Album Experience” for you, so let me give you a quick rundown of the track list.
Pronounced Jar
Side One. The Beginning.
1. Stupid : Youthful punk angst against societal pressures. All other songs exist within this track.
2. Airlock : That someone who takes your breath away…
3. Daedalus : Wise parental advice.
4. It’s Always Monday On The Moon : Working a dream job is still working a job, and working away from home is hard.
5. Little Black Hatchback : Adventures with the ones you love. Cherished memories.
6. Anymore : The angry end of a bad relationship.
7. Splinter In The Mind’s Eye : The province of the mind can be difficult to navigate.
Side Two. New Beginnings.
1. Digital Busker : A musician pours their soul into their music, and tries to find their audience in a sea of online noise.
2. Waving Man : Resist corporate art theft.
3. Only The Music : Music as a refuge when the void is trying to swallow you.
4. All Zombies Go To Heaven : Conservatives are weird.
5. Icarus : A flight of hubris ends in disaster.
6. Virtual Scrolls : Ghosts appear in the ether.
7. Stupid (reprise) : Maintain the absurdity. The poem rhymes. The song is complete.
This is #DgarMusic.
#Dgar really hopes you enjoy the experience. 🤘
Please #boost, and thank you all for your support. This wouldn’t have happened without your encouragement and feedback.
Big love to every single one of you!! Thank you so much! 🫶

🌈 URGENT CALL TO ACTION 🚨
If you’re part of the Australian LGBTIQA+ community, or a friend or ally, PLEASE sign & share this petition URGENTLY!
Hands Off Our Protections
Equality Australia #petition to MPs
✍️ Sign & share –> https://equalityaustralia.org.au/hands-off-our-protections/
Our #LGBTIQA+ community is facing some of the most serious attacks on our rights and protections in many years.
Right now, we are facing multiple bills that would strip protections from #trans people and erode Australia’s anti-discrimination laws more broadly.
Once again we need to fight for our rights and protections. If the shitshow that’s happening in the US right now is teaching us anything, it’s that legal protections are never completely settled and can be removed or reduced at any time if the people who hate us are able to mobilise and drag us back to the 1950s.
Please sign the Equality Australia petition calling on federal MPs to stand with us – and share it widely with your friends, family, and communities on every platform you can.

So which VPN are we switching to?
mullvad: fash
Mozilla: resells mullvad
nym: fash
ExpressVPN/PIA: israeli military guys
Windscribe: openly transphobic on Twitter (someone here linked it), also sent out a newsletter with homophobic rape jokes like just the other day
ivpn: freeze peach https://mastodon.art/@jase/116830652868816205
proton: turned over logs on someone, one of the c-suite donated to Trump
surfshark/nordvpn: same company, owned by an SEO/marketing outfit
purevpn: sketchy af floods play store with different vpn brands, security problem
tortorguard.net: Cloudflare (the nazi proxi)
obscura: partnered with mullvad
riseup: runs on donations
njalla: only one connection / no selection of exits / seems like a vps basically. Probably great if you want one fixed ip, won't work if you want to hop servers/regions
airvpn: ?
hide.me: ?
xeoveo: says trans rights, oppose facism

This might be a selfish request, Im sorry but I hope everybody will show a little kindness.I'm sick with a comeback flu again this time I got no cough but my sorethroat,fever and chills is somehow worst. All I ask is a small help to get some meds & hopefully some food/groceries—
Any small anyone could spare is very much helpful.🫂

Heelloo u guys! 👋🥹 I miss y'all🫂 I hope u all have a great #weekend & #silentsunday. I'm kinda better but not 100% fully recovered—still it's a progress.
I went & had a check-up & TYPE B INFLUENZA was the suspect with all of this.. I had to isolate myself and avoid crowded places. Its heartbreaking obviously but dont worry I will definetely be fine & will recover as my doctor says.
So u kno what's hard guys? Take a guess. *sighs*
