#This is a just dance 4 file #I will secure that fat gf by any means necessary

Side walk shot under a tree. This one is leaving my aunt's restaurant to the left side of it.

#I was just here yesterday #I was buying corn from my other aunt #she gave me the corn but refused my money #I tried really hard to give it to her #I couldn’t just leave it on the table because it was windy

Old Carnagie Library and palm trees. My dad said it wasn't in use when he was a kid and he's nearly 50 now.

Finished stitching my Oversight series.

12 small embroidered poem-objects in wool, linen, cotton, silk, stitched on canvaswork mesh and edged in glass beads.

I went to an exhibition on the history of migration and colonial rhetoric in Australia and it really helped me to pinpoint my exact issue with the way non-Australians (and. tbh. some aussies) talk about this country

this map is a piece of propaganda from 1921. honestly what shocked me about it was how little of Australia is marked out as “uninhabited”. I have seen maps shared around on this website that basically mark out the entirety of non-coastal Australia as “empty”. fucking colonialists from 1921 were more generous than some of you

the history of colonial Australia is a history of “taming the untameable land”. this has been reinforced through narratives that this country is:

inherently dangerous

uninhabitable

empty

this rhetoric survives in both the way Australia is imagined by non-Australians and in the self-image of Australia. the (white) aussie battler conquers the unconquerable. the outback is imagined as a post-apocalyptic hellscape. our fauna is categorised as uniquely hellish and unwieldy. so when non-Australians make joke after joke about how scared they are of this place. well you can imagine why it fills me with the kind of rage that can only be generated by the understanding that You Are Reinforcing Colonialism

For those who haven't seen a map of Indigenous Nations in Australia:

A link to the interactive version, since as you can see there are more cultures than can legibly fit in a single image.

Photos of the front door to my aunt and uncle's restaurant! It may have been busy inside to take photos in there.

They recently remodeled the inside.

#THE DOOR

Photo from the park. I am looking towards an area with a bridge in the photo. I really like how this one is framed.

Photos from the other garden area at the hospital! This one has more plants and more shade to cool off under.

These photos are a little hard to make out. I was taking photos from my regular camera this day too. I'll see if I have some good photos from these same positions when I get the chance to.

#I’m really happy with the colors in this one #the garden had some pretty places to take shots

A gazebo, an arch, and a fountain! These three things are in a garden area that's right in front of one of the hospital's entrances. It's a lovely little spot, I can see people coming out here to de-stress from a stressful hospital environment.

The entrance this area is next to is how I would always enter the hospital back then, so I thought that was the main entrance. Nope, there are two main entrances, and they're both pretty big ones.

Another inverted tree, but this time from the hospital. I think these are the tops of trees from one of the garden areas but I'm not sure.

#these look so cool #I’m really happy with how they came out

Whoa! Something is... different...

Hehe, I took this photo with my camera sideways. I do this a couple of times going forward. It's a subtle look but I think this orientation looks neat.

#vertical photos are nice #I gotta take more photos like this
