The Dutch used to have a very good solution for this
So did the French

Yeah. Maybe the inquiry fixed things for the farmers which is good but nothing has been done for people buying the food.
Same goes for everything else
Low key hate Australia sometimes
Why is Australia so fucked for poor people :(
TW medical
I had my first iron infusion today. -_- Really hoping it helps. I’m so tired of struggling to get up or move. At least it was delivered in a bonus bag of saline so I didn’t have to get iv fluids from the hospital. (Been dodging the er no matter how dehydrated I get because reasons.)
Complaining about money
Trying to buy some basics for the community pantry because I haven’t been able to get there in a while and I’m appalled at the Colesworth costs.
$10 for a bag of powdered milk, get fucked ya greedy cunts. $8 for a bag of oranges. Generic milk bricks don’t cost much less than brand. I’m hitting up the cheap basics that stretch far like pasta and sauces, rice, noodles, oats, tinned soup spaghetti and baked beans, PB, milk bricks, sugar, tea (also bar soap, TP, toothpaste and menstrual products) but there’s not anything fresh.
I regret being so low income myself.
And my tiny garden isn’t stepping up hard enough. It’s probably costing more to grow than the produce would in the shop.
Unfortunately I’m not able to shop in person and Aldi isn’t always cheaper on everything… but maybe when I’m less slammed with tests and appointments I can ask to go there and suss out what the best value items are. I really wish they had kept the old ‘shopping list’ feature so you could compare prices on items before going.
They actually look like some good deals, especially the enzyme cleaners. I can’t seem to find anything fragrance free but I’m eyeing off the bulk hand sanny
Thanks. I hope next time I can get lots of fruit
One of the earliest set pumpkins is looking bigger and a few are yellowing… please hurry 🙏❄️💀
Realistically I know the cold is probably going to kill them and I might not get any ripe. The Jack Be Little are frost tender (oh no both kinds are) and the Golden Nuggets haven’t even started female flowers yet.
But I’m treating this as a practice run so I learn more about their needs and hopefully can be more prepared in Spring. Hopefully these at least develop enough to get some nice pics before they’re consigned to the compost.
This is the plumpkin from a few angles

Trust yourself, if you really don’t want to do it don’t waste time or further money on sunk cost fallacy.
Maybe there’s still time to withdraw and get some of the tuition back?
Look, don’t blame yourself. Teaching is hard and I see teachers online talking about how the current crop of kids are more difficult to handle.
There are definitely other options for working with young people that isn’t like that
It was weird. I had taken two Panamax in the morning for cramps and then 4 hours later the pain was coming back so I took another two… then suddenly I developed a headache and serious nausea and was googling for any recent recalls because I knew for sure I hadn’t taken too many pills.
I’ve never had that happen before. And I used to use Panamax years ago. I use the 60 cent Coles brand now and have had no issues there :/ Haven’t noticed anything amiss with Hedanol either.
I’m so sorry. I’ve been in that place myself and sometimes all you can do is be there.
Accessibility options might help return a sense of control and help her take her mind off things but it’s really hard to be in that position and hopelessness does kick in.
Wtf. You can now only buy two packs at a time of paracetamol and the max pack size at the supermarket is 16. I remembered hearing about that change and didn’t worry because I barely used it then but it’s come in right as I’ve started needing to use it regularly. (I have the option of prescription painkillers but prefer to avoid the risks and make do with over the counter.)
It’s bullshit anyway. You can just get around it by adding a few more boxes of a different brand or hitting up different shops. If someone wants to misuse it they will.
The problem is I get delivery around weekly to fortnightly and can’t really pop out just to get one thing. Under the new restrictions I could still get a 50 pack of Panamax from the pharmacy but that brand is really rough on my body for some reason.
All this has done is make life more difficult for disabled people.
Thanks. Things are brutal right now
TW mental health
I had a nightmare about moving out of here but being forced back into a flatmate situation instead. Genuinely frightening. For context I’ve had some horrific sharehouse experiences and these days I don’t cope with people at all.
I’m also having to put Melbcat back on her normal twice daily meds routine because I keep missing the midnight dose. Adding one extra dose of pain meds changes the spacing and throws things off awkwardly into 3-4 separate doses a day and it’s too much to handle.
The abdominal pain is also getting really severe and difficult to manage and the rest of the tests are so far away. It feels like it’s going to be like this for the rest of my life.
I’m so tired and scared and in pain all the time. Despite my best efforts I’m surrounded by negativity and fear and really struggling with my mental health.
Aye. I began saying at 8 that I didn’t want kids and life has confirmed it was a good choice.
I am pursuing my childhood dream of being a cat lady.
Wrong. Cook in pan after steak and make mushroom gravy
Or beef and mushroom pie
Or zap in microwave topped with cheese
I thought the standard was to wipe with a damp paper towel
TW pain, periods
Physical pain is taking over my life. I’m spending nearly every day running out the hot water in the shower to the point of mildly scalding myself and stacking paracetamol with ibuprofen just to try and get some relief.
I’m starting to strongly suspect endometriosis or adenomyosis on top of everything else because I’m in agony weeks before my period even starts. Also two of my sisters are diagnosed now
