I don't know if I can answer the original post though. Maybe I became fully radicalised when I watched colleagues hyperventilate over pronouns and the term "chest feeding" rather than just getting on with providing practical support and care.
I will add to "recently had a pregnancy" anyone who has recently stopped breastfeeding. The hormonal changes are intense and also the change in fluid shift can affect how medication works. First fourteen days after weaning are the highest risk for mental health issues 🧠❤️
Real chicken-or-the-egg vibes regarding design/depression. Hard to tell which came first.
Wore my Francesca t-shirt on Monday, scored some love from other badass women while doing it!
It is the *only* podcast I'm not forty episodes behind on.
Regretting not panic buying tomato juice because a Harissa Bloody Mary would really go down a treat right now.
(today is sometimes)
Relationship goals
I'd love to say it's all kale salad and açai bowls, but..... Sometimes my strategy before night shift is to sink two beers and some antihistamines and sleep like a hibernating badger.
Not enough Fuck The Police on this list
Music helps me process days like today, here's a list of songs I've been listening to, suggestions welcome. open.spotify.com/playlist/1sv...
When I develop dementia, 77% by The Herd is the song that will drop me back into lucidity.
And I love idea of 90 year old me yelling "these cunts need a shake up" through the halls of the aged care facility.
Stop marketing wearable breast pumps to parents of newborns.
Just stop.
It would also be possible to die of starvation in the queues for check-in.
Cycling really is the new golf. I bought new gloves and got a hole in one ⛳
I mostly Bleet about bikes but here's a pic of work the other day where I got the opportunity to lie on some grass in my lunch break. Doesn't happen often so I was extremely happy.
I was very grateful for the industrial strength drying room we have at work today after a beautiful dry 30km with some mates then a soggy onward journey to work. The smugness is real.
Was feeling a bit blah about night shift but then remembered the opportunity to ride my bike in and now I'm very happy. 👩🏼⚕️🌃🏥🤱🏼
Let's trade pollution for people.
😅 Srsly tho... I shouldn't be broadcasting how good it is.
I'm at an x-ray and ultrasound clinic today, I see a plaque noting their support of the local football team. Looking around the waiting room, it seems they're keeping each other in business.
Coconut custard is lit. Use brown sugar in place of regular sugar, and it's awesome. Pandan infuse if you want to super elevate.
Supporting my local coffee roaster today. Barista admires my reusable cup, asks if I made it myself "...a lot of people picked up pottery in the pandemic?"
Me: "no, I just picked up depression"
And he very supportively said "well you're definitely not alone there"
$5 therapy ☕
Literally the only podcast I'm not behind on.
Thrilled to hear that Brisbane's new BB bus routes are sharing names with prison wards in the NT. Seems apt.
And let's be clear that by "shopping" I actually mean "standing supportively over the shoulder of @antmandan.bsky.social while he swears at the terrible photo printing system"
The deep bloody irony of hearing "Shiny Happy People" while shopping at Officeworks.
Seriously though, f*ck Murdoch.
I had an absurdly good holiday in Adelaide. Food, wine, sports, nature, art, architecture. It really is the jewel in Australia's crown.
