They keep spiders as pets

big-ass spiders. and that makes me question their sanity. and they have kangaroos there with abs who go toe to toe with humans and will snatch ur dog tf up. other than that, people say it’s cool and they have a good creative scene in sydney

sydney……..

SUDS (sydney uni drama society) puts on some very good and very bad shows UNSW always has some really great art shows on the fine arts campus in paddington macquarie uni has a great museum (big stuffed bear, dinosaur footprints, etc) (this information is actually very dated now that i think about it but i’m sure it’s still wicked). they also used to do free camel rides @ their open day……. omafiets is a great bike shop in alexandria south dowling sandwiches in paddington has The Best Sandwiches. 16ishAUD for a truly scrumptious sandwich as big as ur head. i recommend the hugo……. it has caramelised carrots!!!! indian home diner, also paddington, is soooo yummy & makes curry wraps that r to die for. also has a great student deal lake parramatta is a beautiful beautiful spot 2 swim - nice fresh water, never toooo busy & on the central coast, an hour’s beautiful train ride north: excellent thrifting (woy woy specifically, & also fairhaven op shopping village in point clare) the gosford hieroglyphs - there r proper conspiracies about this. they’re tucked away in a gully in the middle of the bush. super easy walk to get to them, but not easy to find pelican feedings in woy woy & the entrance the australian reptile park - a zoo but almost exclusively for native animals (the 1 exception i can think of is their komodo dragons). they helped develop anti-venoms for all of australia’s most venomous creatures, & u can watch them harvest snake & spider venom. also not just reptiles!!!!! many bugs & spiders & mammals & birds!!! some great camping spots: little beach & frazer r my favs

birdwatching

i don't think anyone ever intends to become a recreational ornithologist. but i've noticed that it definitely creeps up on you slowly in your mid-twenties. it starts with noticing how funny pigeons are, then learning pigeon lore, and suddenly you're feeding your neighbourhood birds every morning and buying books on birds. as a child i idolised the pigeon lady in home alone 2, and i woke up this morning and realised — i AM the pigeon lady 🐦

Reading for 60-90mins a day

reading is a habit of building and developing your empathy and critical thinking skills. you’re forced to sit with an idea for however long you are reading it and forced to contextualise it and comprehend it within your own life and perspective. You can’t just scroll away or pause or put it on 2x speed. you have to sit with it. it’s super underrated, but genuinely I’ve made this a habit for the last year and feel like a totally different person. also you come out of it having learned something new or seeing the world in a slightly new way. I literally do not see any downsides to reading. make reading cool again! also you don’t have to do it in one big block, you can space it out — 15 mins here, 45 there — whatever works for you!

not trying to be cool

our cultural obsession with being perceived as cool is a disease. its peak capitalistic/consumerist propaganda. fuck being cool. like what you like and who cares if it's cool or not. it's tiresome and we need to leave it in 2024. literally nothing gives me the ick more than people who betray themselves in an attempt to be perceived as cool by the masses. be yourself — even if it means you're 'uncool'.
