Regretting not panic buying tomato juice because a Harissa Bloody Mary would really go down a treat right now.

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.

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.

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.

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 ☕

Thrilled to hear that Brisbane's new BB bus routes are sharing names with prison wards in the NT. Seems apt.

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.

Pickle, pastes and preserves yesterday. I'm still sporting my "jaundice tips" even after several scrubs, and the perils of phone internet recipes mean my phone case will need a day in the sun too. Worth it for the vinegary goodness.

Managed to get four excellent midwives all not on shift and into Drag Brunch.

Normalise carrying a tiny bottle of malt vinegar in your handbag. Just in case you come across some chips and you're not in England.

I will additionally say that many of these groups are snake pits of average information but many mums (and parents that aren't mums) rely on them as a source of connection to the outside world in the long days with tiny people.

Wahhhhh me and my wild midwife schedule disqualifying me from clinical trials 😭 Shoutout to UniSC clinical trials for being awesome about it though.

For the midwives but also anyone who has ever been born. The emergence of increased freebirths, a movement that I wholly understand in the context of birth trauma and a broken system, but which warrants investigation and support. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

Telling the Whole Story project opens telling the Indigenous side of Maria shipwreck massacre - ABC News www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

A Mazda 121 for your troubles. Sorry it's not yellow.
