I saw something about it pop up, were they linking paracetamol to autism? Or saying it was alright for pregnant women to take? Not people I’d take health advice from anyway.
And I think neurotypical people, or at least people who don’t realise they have something, can start having weird opinions when they have a lot of kids on the spectrum. They probably think, ‘nothing’s wrong with me, what made my kids this way?’ And then the Youtube research begins.
I like to ride but the drive to work has been very smooth recently because of school holidays. I wondered why I hadn’t noticed it before and I usually don’t start so close to 9. I either ride or start early so I haven’t been able to appreciate the drop in traffic.
That’s why I made my own flash cards so I could use photos of things they actually have or are around. I figured it would be easier for them to recognise something like a bus if it was the same one they see around.
I made my own alphabet poster to teach the kids how to read. I just picked up some copies because I got it printed and laminated. It will be interesting to see how the kids take it
Finally dropped some stuff in the electronic recycling at the library. I smashed the screen on that kindle back in 2019
It is. It’s not like that 360 basketball one that originally came out
Just don’t look at the back of this one
Went to Sweet By Nature in Heidelberg and picked up some bulk brownie offcuts and some mini new York cheesecakes. Unfortunately two very tired boys banged their heads on the same table and would not calm down so we had to leave early
Also, just bought a thunderbolt cable off Aliexpress, so let’s see if it actually outputs video when it arrives. Worth the risk at around $6 I think
Work from home then a day off tomorrow for a long weekend. Today is looking so nice, I’ll need to find a reason to go outside
This is a plug for my work but if it’s a real problem you can look up the Goodnature mouse trap. They’re meant to work pretty well.
Do regrets driving to work today. Maybe I will tomorrow as well. But I’ve adjusted the handlebars on the bike so i want to see how it rides now
We lost a monster truck toy down the gutter on the weekend and i just managed to find red exact same one again
I’ll never forgive the band Azusa for dropping two great albums then dipping. Their first album isn’t even on Bandcamp so I don’t know how it got recommended to me. I haven’t been able to find any thing about whether they’re still active either.
No point going to Mulgrave unless you live nearby. I worked for the CSIRO based there for a bit and they’re probably the only exception
The wind sucks today but it’s so warm. The best morning ride weather I’ve had in a long time
God, that sucks. It’s like those big companies where you don’t know if the job is at the location close to you or the head office in god knows where
When you expect people to bring a picnic rug and sit on the ground it helps if kids can eat with their hands. I saw all these tiny kids trying to eat burgers, nowhere was serving hot chips
So my girlfriend thinks Home Is Where The Gutter Is by King Parrot is inappropriate for kids. But the ending is so funny.
I was just listening to a ‘Christian Metal’ band called Demon Hunter. At first I was like, ‘can you really tell a band is christian?’ But once you know, you can’t ignore it. It was like any other American band trying to copy European metal, but the vibes were fucked.
If I didn’t know, I’d probably just listen and say it wasn’t very good, but the christian angle makes it very off-putting. It even re-contextualises the name, Demon Hunter. Instead of just being something they thought sounded cool, it has much more of an angle to it.
