my dashboard!

Dashboard showcase, with an explainer image for plugin etc info!

This is the anuppuccin theme, with zillions of custom css snippets, and a handful of plugins.

I posted a vault showcase earlier this year but i've changed it soooo much since then so thought I'd share again! Only my dashboard for now, but might share more at some point

Before anyone asks, I'm more than happy to explain or help you replicate anything i've done here, but i'm not going to be sharing it outright! It's mine, made for me.

Dynamically reference today's daily note with Meta Bind?

I'm using meta bind to make toggle checklists for my daily note frontmatter habit tracking, and was planning to put today's list on my dashboard.

Can I dynamically bind it to today's daily note somehow?

This is what i'm using so far

What were australian kids birthday parties like back in the 60s-80s?

Was talking with some fellow zillenials about how much the scale and trends of kids parties have changed since we were little (social media has made people so crazy lol), and it made me wonder what the average australian kids birthday party was like in the 60s-80s!

close family and friends? minimal planning? printed/handwritten invites? simple snacks? cake and presents? did parents hang around? organised games or parents getting trashed and leaving their kids to their own devices?

If you're old and wise enough to have been around way back then (jk), what are your memories/experiences? how did you celebrate you or your friends or your kids birthdays?

Found a redback in my room. How worried should I be?

I have a mini tabletop ironing board that I've been keeping set up on the floor at the end of my bed (small desk, so use floor as workspace for sewing stuff) but I just went to flip it upside down to stop my cat from using it as a scratching board during the night and found this guy.

How concerned should I be right now? I've moved the whole board way outta my room, but now I'm worried that there could be more... Is this a where-theres-smoke-theres-a-lot-of-redbacks type situation and I should evacuate my cat from the room for tonight or what?

Please advise!!

Does anyone else struggle to figure out what they want in reality vs what they want in theory?

I want to want a relationship, but in reality i don't actually want one. I'm a romantic and i love love, and i love the idea of falling in love and the idea of being in a relationship, but in reality? i'm probably aromantic/asexual and don't really want that at all. I want to want to go out socialising more, or to travel the world, etc etc etc, and yet... I don't really want those things.

I spent a lot of my 20s coming to terms with the fact that a lot of my expectations of life were based on what i wanted in theory rather than in practice. But as I'm approaching 30 I'm realising that I'm now struggling trying to figure out what I do want.

I guess this is as much a mini vent as it is a genuine question but. It's something that's kinda been haunting me for a while. I worry that there's nothing I want in life and I'll never really feel fulfilled or content. Idk.

Can anyone relate? any advice?

What's this beetle? 📍 South Australia

Hadn't come across a beetle like this before! Any ideas what it is? carrion beetle? dung beetle?? Found it on an outside wall of a borderline rural house
