New Hunter data centre plan promises to create 250 full-time jobs

Message your MP and council member NOW. Not tomorrow, not next week, right now.

We cannot allow the wider region to be impacted by noise, unbelievably higher electricity prices, and water shortages — not to mention power outages when this El Niño hits us as hard as 2019/20 Black Summer did.

Enough is enough, I’m sick of the mines and the habitat destruction and corruption in our region, we’re not accepting this too.

Please put the call out. Please share with your friends, family, and coworkers. Read the tiniest bit of community feedback from Sydneysiders who deal with these monstrosities and do not let this happen here; please.

250 jobs isn’t going to support the number of households going into Gillieston heights alone, but it will ruin those families lives.

Eta: classic responses from people who have never felt the impact of any climate related weather event in their life. Obviously I’m opposed to the gas and mines (literally complained about it in the original post) as well but we can’t exactly go back in time and stop ground from breaking; we have the opportunity to say no here.

Maybe the next one will be closer to your house.

Plant ID says lemon balm, which I did not plant. But the leaves kind of resemble salvia, which is already in the garden and I would be inclined to leave. Help, please!

So I ordered an item that was coming from Toowoomba QLD express post. It shipped Thursday and was meant to arrive yesterday. Arriving in Sydney at 6.11am yesterday was a great sign that it was on track for delivery. I’m not too worried about not receiving it yesterday, I’m just absolutely confounded how it arrived in Newcastle last night before making its way to CANBERRA — 6 hours away from Newcastle!!! — when the delivery address is Maitland.

I’m sure it’ll make its way to me eventually, just thought this was pretty funny and stupid.

No, the greenhouse isn’t meant to be upside down qbetween the house and the retaining wall.

I mean, I probably should have been able to predict this might happen, but in my defence I’ve never owned anything capable of literally just blowing away in a gust of wind, it’s never been a problem for me before today!

My tommies are gonna die in the cold 🫪

Sorry for the terrible photo quality, my phone died and idk how to use my DSLR very well lol

I thought it might be a prickly pear, the bright green caught my eye in all the leaf litter and I nearly ripped it out on instinct but I was a bit deliriously cold in the rain on Saturday and thought I was in a State Park and that could be a crime so I didn’t touch it

It’s a nature reserve with native flora and fauna like a wetlands area.

Had a busy day at work which made me feel so fulfilled and productive. I freaking love my job. 12 months ago I’d resigned from one job I was about to be fired from and had started a new job that gave me some very dark thoughts. I sent my resume to a bunch of places and four days after being fired from the very bad job, I was offered a role where I am now. I’ve been there 8 months and sometimes I’m so happy and grateful that I start to well up. It’s happening right now.

I’ve been in the work force since 2015 and this is the first time I’ve been treated with respect, kindness, and treated like a functional, capable adult. My boss is one of the most incredible people I’ve ever met, and any time he’s ever bordered on being snippy or cross he instantly apologises.

It’s a family business and today his son sent me an email thanking me and saying how well I’d done picking up a new responsibility this week even though I’ve been feeling out of my depth and worried I’m creating more work rather than easing the pressure. He said I dove straight into some really hard jobs he never would’ve expected me to do and I nailed them.

Today was so busy at work I had my breakfast for lunch and my lunch for a late afternoon snack, and when I got home I did some cleaning and spent some time with my bf and cats and doing some mindful chores and I just feel so good. Normally I would’ve polished off a box of pizza shapes in 10 minutes and called it a night, but tonight I made the effort to put a few extra things on my plate and limit the amount of shapes.

We’re forced to spend so much of our lives working and I just feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful workplace where my biggest anxiety is imposter syndrome. And to think it only happened because I sent my resume to literally only 9 local businesses and one was interested enough to interview me and ultimately hire me. All the years I spent applying for job listings, doing online assessments hoping for a phone interview, ignoring some very red flags during face to face interviews for whatever it takes to land the job.

Life is incredible, I really feel like the stars aligned here. I love my job, I love my bf, I love my kitties, I love our home, and I never want anything to change.

Life doesn’t work that way, I know there will be tough times ahead. We do worry about money, our jobs pay low-average in Australia, our electricity and water bills were ridiculously high even before the war, and our mortgage repayments keep climbing with interest rates. Our families are ageing. One of the cats always seems to have something vet-worthy, and there’s always some urgent repair needed to our cars or our washing machine or dishwasher or that one time a tap started spraying water at 3am and even with the main shut off it wouldn’t stop so we had to call a 24 hour plumber.

But right now I’m so happy and everything is okay 🥰

Blessings to everyone who made it this far ❤️

Spotted a couple in my salvia, Hunter Valley NSW

Google AI says destroyer, wouldn’t trust it as far as I could throw it

Canon EOS 450D(?)

Also saw a hit and run while taking this pic at 11pm last night so went and left a note on the car that got hit 😂😭

Do I prune them and leave them in their pots over winter? Do I prune them and plant them now? Do I just plant them and cross my fingers?

Hunter Valley NSW — wine country, I should know the answer! Warm dry days with cool nights.

I hate veggies and especially raw veggies and I don’t usually eat throughout the day because it’s too hard to have fresh food at work without resorting to pastries or hot chippies from the cafe next door

But all the dinner girlies have taught me how to tolerate veggies, balance a plate, and inspired me to eat nourishing food throughout the day rather than starving all day 🥰
