I don’t want to hear your negative opinions about Indigenous or Aboriginal people. I didn’t ask.

I am absolutely appalled by the amount of racist comments I saw on my video, and so many others, during NAIDOC Week. A week that’s meant to celebrate the world’s oldest living culture and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this beautiful land we’re lucky enough to live on. Instead, it became an excuse for people to flood comment sections with blatant racism.

Try thinking a little deeper about every racist argument you use to justify hating an entire group of people. Ask yourself where that hatred actually comes from.
You’re throwing a tantrum because the original custodians of this land are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Some of you act like toddlers who can’t handle sharing.

If you’re upset cause you think there’s some kind of “special treatment”, mate, if your children were taken from you, your family was deliberately torn apart, and generations of your culture were stripped away, you’d probably be pretty fucking angry too.

You have to seriously question why you have so much hatred towards a minority that many of you don’t even personally know or regularly interact with. Yet somehow you’re convinced you know everything about them while ignoring the genocide, dispossession, and policies that caused so much intergenerational trauma.

You don’t want to face the truth. You’d rather stick your head in the sand, ignore the real issues, and continue being blatantly racist because it’s easier than challenging your own beliefs. Maybe you should ask yourself whether these are actually your opinions, or just the ones you were raised with and never questioned.

Grow the fuck up.
Educate yourself.
Do better.
Whilst we’re at it, learn some empathy, because judging by the comments I saw this week, far too many of you are severely lacking it and it is disgusting.

Hi all!!

I have been taking fluoxetine for around 4 months now to help my PMDD. This was due to taking 2 plan b's, causing me to basically go into PMDD hormone filled insaneness. I had no choice but to start on something otherwise i'd be not here lol.

ANYWAYS,, I want to stop taking it now as it's not working very well for me. My therapist suggested a supplement - Vitex Agnus Castus.
I am wondering of your experiences with taking it, how much did you take every day?

Also, if you have any other similar supplements that might pair well with this one please let me know!!

I really want to have something to fall back onto as i'm stopping my SSRI's, I don't wanna just raw dog it anymore but I don't wanna take SSRI's either.... the PMDD gamble.

Does anyone else have terrible nightmares maybe a week leading up to their period with PMDD? It’s the only thing I can think causing the nightmares as I’m noticing it happen every month a week before. It’s all including people I love in my life too, and makes me villainise them in my dreams.

Before I had my diagnosis, I thought these dreams told me what path I need to be taking… lol my life was in shambles to say the least.

Do you experience this in your PMDD, is there anything that has helped you?

Hi all,

I am a young woman in my early 20s living alone in an apartment. Across from my balcony is a house where an elderly man and, I presume, his wife live. There is very minimal privacy on the side of his house where my balcony is. There happens to be plenty of privacy everywhere else on that side of the house, just not the window and balcony area where he can look directly into my balcony and straight into my living room and kitchen. If my blinds are up, he can see everything I’m doing in there 24/7.
Over the past few months of living here, I’ve noticed some strange behaviour from him. As a young woman living alone, I already feel like my safety is compromised to some degree. But now this elderly man has started doing “housework” and “gardening” specifically only in the front patch where my balcony sits next to his property. If I am sitting on my balcony, he without fail, every single time, appears and starts doing gardening right in front of where I am sitting. If I am in the carport area working on my car or cleaning it, he will suddenly appear every single time and start picking up leaves from the garden. When I tell you I have never EVER seen him do gardening on any other part of his lawn, please believe me bc holy shit.

One part of his balcony and window face mine. I have attempted to get a privacy screen with the little money I have, but it is not enough, he can still see in perfectly fine. He will sit on his balcony at the very edge where mine sits when I am out there. His balcony wraps around the whole perimeter of his house, so he could choose literally anywhere else to sit.

One day I took down the catio I had up for my cats because it didn’t fit quite right on the balcony and I was selling it. While I was doing that, he opened the window that faces my balcony and blatantly asked me, “Is your cat dead?” in a very monotone, almost hopeful sounding way. I replied, “No, I’m just selling this,” and he didn’t say another word, just closed his window. My cats are strictly indoor cats and are never let out, so I have no idea what issue he could possibly have with them. But that comment really unsettled me.

My partner has seen this behaviour himself and was there when he asked about my cats, so I know I’m not imagining it. It feels very strange and intentional. I am scared for myself and I am scared for my cats. I’m saving up to afford a better privacy screen because that’s all I can really think to do right now.

If he talks to me again and says something that makes me uncomfortable, I won’t hesitate to report it or raise it with my real estate so there is at least a record of it. At the moment my strategy has been to completely ignore him and pretend he doesn’t exist, which I’ve done this whole time, but it doesn’t seem to be making any difference. I honestly think he is bored and likes watching me.

Does anyone have advice on what else I could do for now? I’m feeling really uncomfortable in my own home.

TLDR: My neighbour watches my every move from his windows and balcony, asked me if my cats are dead yet, and I’m extremely uncomfortable in my own home and unsure what to do.

Hi all,
I used to be with candor and was able to dispense my medical cannabis at a local pharmacy via their website. Since leaving candor for issues with their company I have only found medical cannabis providers that offer delivery. I don’t have the money to keep on top of this kind of thing paying delivery fees and my adhd doesn’t allow me to order in time for when I actually would need it.

TLDR; what medical cannabis companies dispense at pharmacies in qld?
