Does anyone know which #bird makes this specific repetitive sound ONLY at sunrise? I’ve heard it my whole life but I’ve always speculated about whether it’s the noisies because they’re in such numbers, or if it’s a different bird.

I told a friend I’d turn up at 4pm but my hen is really sick and I think she’s eggbound and I’m very stressed

The ridiculous drunk unclesque gambling-funded self-mythologising of the racing industry, shoring up future culturally-blessed exploitation of thoroughbreds bred solely for profit, all facilitated by media, carried on the overburdened back of a singular mare who died of laminitis in a rich industry that could have taken better preventative care of her feet, diet & foaling after she stopped making them as many millions as before. Same newsday as reports of gambling reforms.

I am WRECKED. I drove 50 mins to the other side of the area to get my ADHD meds because the psychiatrist told me to get it on exactly the 7th. Pharmacist says the 8th. Wouldn’t give it to me. Coz I’m clearly a Vyvanse dealer.

For a uni assignment I’ve watched hours of footage of Marlon Brando talking. I’ve read 2 books, I’ve consulted the literature, I’ve spent hours pondering this human to the point that I know him personally. I’d know how to counsel him, how his resistances worked & how he framed his experience of the world as an autodidact, as a likely ND person, as a lefty & as a man who spent his whole life bewildered by his own constant yearning for - and reflexive rejections of - women. It’s been a ride.

Showed Dad a funnel web spider’s burrow. It’s actually kinda genius where it built its home, to the point that I haven’t the heart to hurt the spider. Its far enough away from my house that I’m not too bothered by it. It’s under the little A-shaped hollow of the trunk, out of the rain. A nice little hauspinne for a nice little spider.

Beardy was *trying* to help in the kitchen today. Poor thing’s just not able to wrestle enough of his brain into one place to cope with cooking. He melted my espresso maker. I have to supervise when he heats soup. He’s prone to wandering off.
Today he was so keen to help. and I felt happy his confidence had grown.
I walked in to get some hargow.
I found the stovetop on fire.
I was like, “Oh, shit…”
Dude was MORTIFIED.
The one time he tries to help with dinner & he sets the joint on fire.

Cleaning someone’s house from top to bottom when they’re in shit mental and physical health is one of the most satisfying and useful things you can do. I had to be in intensive care on death’s door to have anyone do that for me but when I came home and my house was fixed, it made me feel so much better. So doing it for others is my deadset favourite thing. I’ve been deep-cleaning all day, knowing how happy the occupants will be to see it all done and the overwhelm just gone. Reset. ✅

You know when a muscle in your lower abdomen twitches, and it feels like a baby kicking? If you don’t know, now you know.
I won’t be pregnant. I have a Mirena, and I’m closer to 44 than 43. Also, it’s a terrible idea. We would be fine. But it’s not in our plan for our 50s.
But I still get sad sometimes.
Not rational, but that’s okay.
Naming that feeling so it has some place to go… 💙

@npub1mpw…4h3u When she told me she had met someone in rehab I just about had kittens. But she knew what she saw. And he drove to my house to meet me as soon as he possibly could. And I spotted it the first time I met him too. He’s been around probably coming up to about 18 months now. He’s a blessing in my life that I never saw coming but can’t live without these days. The son I always wanted just suddenly came home right when I needed him and didn’t know it.

@npub1mpw…4h3u I couldn’t believe he insisted on learning how to pleat from day one. And get this… he was sick all weekend from withdrawal due to his psychiatrist changing his meds in preparation for another new tablet, and he’s still only 3wks outta detox. Hands shaking like crazy, and he had to do all this fine motor stuff with VERY shaky hands. But he stood there, concentrating hard, ADAMANT he was going to get it right. I was so moved I was choking back tears as I instructed him.

Commando’s ability to learn a procedure is MINDBLOWINGGGGG. These are his second and third dumplings. Do you know how many adults I’ve taught, and how RARE it is for them to make “passable” ones, let alone ones that look like this???
Dude thinks he’s not smart. He doesn’t know how many different sorts of smart there are, and that he’s got plenty of the best sorts of smarts. Dyslexia, get fucked, dyslexia.

I just sent this to my daughter who is feeling the pressure of her partner’s (Italian!) fam this xmas. She just wants to stay home and blob her way through it which she knows I’m supportive of, but she’s still getting pressure from the in-laws & my sisters. She’s melting down. I thought I’d just post it here for anyone who also needs a message from an auDHD-affirming AuDHDer mum today in case you aren’t getting it from your mum. I’m not, so I’m the mum to her that I needed at 22.

@npub1xr8…3q0g The episode when their friend (or a sister of one of the parents or something) came with them to the beach, and she was dealing with some sort of infant loss and grief process, and it was so gentle and compassionate and subtle and lovely. 💙 I’m lucky; I’ve never lost a child - as close as I came in the last few years to losing my eldest child to DV trauma and addiction - and it made me think about it and feel all of the feelings.

@npub1xr8…3q0g Every week, at some point, I go to make some sort of decision or get worried about something, and I think about how I nearly died getting attacked in my laundry, or in a quadruple murder-suicide car crash, or a million times he tried to break a door down to get at me and my daughters. And I just can’t believe I’m still alive. I spend my days doing the thousand-yard stare. And every time another woman dies, I have survivor’s guilt.

I bought my broody hen three children to love. She may reject them tonight when I try to sneak them under her in the nesting box. How will I know?
Oh, she’ll try to eat the first one I attempt to slip underneath her wing.
So, I’m going to fuck around and find out, basically. But I’m hopeful she will accept them as her own.

@npub1xr8…3q0g Thanks for sharing this. I welled up a bit. Chan’s story, and his post-traumatic growth, strongly echoes of my own. We’re even the same age, and had the same experiences in 1996. I too was spat-on, for being Chinese. His recounting reminded me of the expression on the girl’s face before she spat on me. The bewilderment I had felt. I’d had NOTHING against her at all. Yet, my mere existence in the same grade as her made her redfaced with rage. She spat on my face.

@npub1mpw…4h3u That recognition and acknowledgment of being in survival mode is such a mark of wisdom that you’ve worked very hard to have and it works in your favour. Without knowing any/much detail, I can only say how much I sympathise and hope that you can strategise a way forward with a clear (enough) head. Trauma’s a bitch in these situations. 💚

2023-09-17 23:53:56

There’s so much wrong, but I’ve been through so much worse. I can see why people who have had such comfortable and privileged lives are so resistant to acknowledging their privilege sometimes. Stress, and too-much-everything, despite my safety and relative food & housing security, makes me just want to go, “…but this is STILL SO HARD! Why does it have to be just endlessly HARD!?”

Some mates & I have started a new jazz open mic night in our old cosy local theatre. It’s only our second one tonight & it’s pouring rain. I really really hope the rain doesn’t scare ppl away because we still have pay the hire fee for the theatre whether or not anyone shows up. 😭😭😭😭 In case you’re from around here or the Blue Mountains it’s at the Regent Theatre in Richmond and it starts at 7:30pm. $10 concession/pensioner and $15 general. There’s totally a snack bar and big velvety curtains.

My kid’s got a fresh obsession with learning to sew. After I suggested that longstitch is a good way to learn to use a needle and thread safely, she begged me to take her to get a long stitch set after school and she’s all set up with it on the couch with her glasses on and lamp on and pyjamas on, watching telly and stitching away like a little third grade nanna.

I’ve got a stress headache from the gaslighting of 3 mean girls in my class yesterday. I’m still just gobsmacked that their response to my reminder about “hey let’s not ruin the good thing we’ve got here and ensure conversations don’t stray anywhere near breaking uni policy on collusion, but for FAR bigger reasons than just being penalised or expelled,” with a patronising sort of, “You do you. This is what we do in our class,” like that isn’t an extremely concerning response.

Regarding the toot I wrote earlier about my saintly, gorgeous landlords… I was driving along earlier, thinking about the thing business or land-owning people say. The “I’m not running a charity here,” sort of comment. And I started imagining if at least 50% of landlords actually saw their tenants with disadvantages & disabilities as recipients of a service, rather than just a dehumanised source of passive income. Imagine the way our society might have otherwise functioned. Just imagine that.

I’m a mum of a recovering DV survivor & addict who is relapsing. I saw in today’s sunrise sobbing uncontrollably, asking, “How can she be like this?” to my husband. This has been my life for a long time. She just lures me then hurts me.
I’m a mental health professional in training. I know exactly how she can be like this. But the things she says to me; they are low. They are truly evil. I try to remind myself that she’s sick. But it’s been years. This is the 8th year. I’m tired.

2023-07-15 05:26:34

I’m staying at my daughter’s place and someone seems quite happy to see me. She’s smelling all my stuff and slow-blinking at me and making today’s drawing quite impossible. She doesn’t just do that with anyone. I’m so touched that she remembers me and seems to have become attached to me during her stay at my place. That was a month or so ago. Nothing wrong with this cat’s memory…

If you’re a reproductive health nurse (or heck… any sort of helping worker or professional at all) please just slow down and listen to your patient & let them finish their sentences. I have the audy-aitch-dee, I so totally get it, but you are expected, with your level of training, to overcome the urge to talk over your patient, listen properly, absorb what they’re telling you. I guarantee if you don’t do this you’re missing stuff like the nurse I just saw totally missed stuff.
