freo early voting booth. 6 adelaide st, freo CBD. tuesday, 22 april 2025. 3.30pm - 5.30pm.
my next shift:
monday, 28 april 2025.
8.30am - 11.30am.
in this moment i have absolutely no idea what i am doing.
josh wilson is standing there, maybe one hundred metres from me, watching me fumble with this aluminum selfie stick i got from kmart.
up until this point i had done quite a good job trying to completely rattle him. i had moved one of our big a-frames right down the road, so everyone coming through the mall would at least see something socialist alliance related.
i was catching virtually everyone all the major parties weren't. they did catch onto this after a while, and the insane fright these people go into when something like this happens makes me feel so much better about being any-fucken-where near them.
but yeah, i pretty much did blow it in a matter of seconds almost dropping my phone while the stick was fully extended. the main fucken good photo with me with the badge on didn't even need the stick.
this stuff is all a game to me. i shook the liberal party lady's hand when i got there, and she almost didn't do it. the kate hullet teal person i first spoke to when i got there almost didn't tell me this was where the early voting booth was. who are these people? i'm the same as the rest of you! how many thousands of dollars did my branch spend, and you won't even acknowledge me.
i am sick and tired of this cultural cringe we have around politics. we're all so afraid of each other, and it has gotten so, so bad. it's pretty much all because of people like josh wilson and the labor party. he really needs this early voting booth to be locked down for the ALP.
seriously--fuck these servants of the capitalist class. it is possible to calculate any parliamentarian's degree of social separation from gina rinehart. i am deliberately trying to avoid working it out for the major player WA parliamentarians. i think i'd scare the shit out of myself.

Ok, so lil techie things:
I have been fiddling with my raspi-ish frankentablet now that my fingers don’t freeze. I added extensions, reinstalled a new image. I quite enjoy X11 with the GUI improvements to LXPanel generally. A few bugs, but it is heartening to see LXDE/open box becoming more touchscreen friendly. I am learning about and implementing GTK (&c.) styling.
Styling in a Linux WM/DE is quite a muddle. I would it were not. There ought to be a unified styling conf system which would front userspace in a single file. The hodgepodge makes Linux difficult needlessly. It is possible to make a happy style configuration GUI, I believe. But so far I see naught in this direction. So I am enlarging and tabletizing as I go.
