Probably shouldâve remembered earlier today that I need to have 2 croissants ready for class tomorrow.
Shall we go on a little croissant journey together?
First step - prepare the buerrage - the âbutter blockâ.

This discussion has been in my head for a while, and I was going to leave it alone, but I recently supported some friends in regards to some online intimate imagery issues & safety, so that's the place I'm speaking from.
It's about spicy alts.
This has absolute nothing to do with morality & the various aspects posting intimate photos involves - I could not give a rat's arse that you post nudes online, and don't judge you for that or the reasons for doing it.

Well I think we can safely say that my second appointment with the Job âService Providerâ did not go well.
First Mr Happy at reception asked me some personal questions in the waiting area that I was reluctant to answer, given that I was surrounded by strangers.
People who do not need to hear about my private circumstances.
He then asked if Iâd sent in my resume - I replied I wasnât asked to. He said I didnât fill in the survey & I replied thatâs correct & he asked why.
Due to his illness the Teen is on a reduced school schedule as we work on his recovery & building up his strength to be able to attend for a full day.
So today he attended morning classes & a session with his support teacher.
On the tram home he was confronted in his words âa pack of Boomersâ.

Content Warning: Eating Disorder
I havenât done an update for a while mostly because itâs just been a Ferris wheel - weight goes up, weight goes down, sleep improves, sleep disintegrates, exercise increases & decreases, an exhausting pattern of steps forward & back.
We have been working with his school to get him back in regular attendance, which has been improving so far this term. Everyone involved has been very supportive.

I am very understanding of the delays on the Frankston line @metrotrains but we couldâve done with a heads up at Glen Huntly station about which platform the trains towards Frankston are departing from. Thank you.
Because we were all on Platform 3 and the train pulled into Platform 2 and we werenât able to cross at the crossing and make it in time.
TBH during the level removal we could do with more information about which platform the train will be arriving at.

EM(11): âMum one of my friends gave me a weird present.â
He pulls a new, wrapped sanitary napkin out of pencil case.
Me: âOne of your female friends?â
EM: âYeahâ
Me: âWell maybe sheâs hoping youâll hold onto it for her. Maybe you should keep some in your locker just in case.â
EM: âYou mean periods just happen???â
Me: âYeah sometimes. You know whatâs worse than keeping a few sanitary napkins in your locker? Walking around with a wad of toilet paper in your pants.â
