I wish it wasn't so predictable. And that the authorities would do something to make it happen less often. But, you know, racist...

She does not want to risk making things worse again and will be going back at the first sign of trouble. They will also set her up with a 24/7 number so she can video conference with a doctor if there are any concerns and they will dispatch someone to her home if need be or have her come in.
Honestly, I didn't think they had improved home care this much here.

2026-07-14 21:23:37 UTC

- reply

More good news!
Just got back from a visit and they may be springing her loose in a couple of days. They would have a homecare nurse come once a day to tend to the drain and make sure the thingy in her arm for the antibiotics is looking good. If after a day or two the nurse says she goes back, then she will be readmitted. She's down to having the drain irrigated and emptied once a day and only has a few days of iv antibiotics left. Looks like the rupture in her intestine has been healing nicely. Daughter is worried that it's too soon and is very much against it. I think my friend can manage fine and will be much more comfortable at home.

Well, I have been informed that she has finally had a solid poo. And that she woke up with an itchy bum this morning. Still waiting on results from yesterday's MRI but there is less drainage than when she went in.

It's the Cobble Beach Dotted Tee except I'm not doing the bobbly bits. Sleeves are also a bit long for my taste, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. It's from the same book as the cocoon wrap thingy.

I am not a novice sewist, but I did learn a thing or two in the process. Main one being that trying to finish something quickly while tired and hungry is not the best idea I ever had.

I'd argue that they are already suffering if they are limiting their moveements within their own neighbourhood because of this as well as being basically told that they will be harassed or assaulted and no one is doing anything about it.

What fucking message are they sending the girls? It's certainly not that they will curb the men's behaviour. They are basically saying 'we know some shit is going to happen, let us know when it does.'
Clear those fucking predators from the area and let the girls live their lives.

It's a masterpiece of Abstract Expressionism! All the distracting details have been blurred, leaving only the raw impression of a peaceful landscape under a bright blue sky. It harkens back to our primitive understanding of the countryside within which we flourished into our inate humanity.

More stupid and naive than malevolent, but the end result can be the same. This is the same gay man who thinks it is great that there are 'transmen' in his gay men's choir and who slept with some woman who calls herseelf a man. Thanks to him several of us - because he has no filter or boundaries - have heard the phrase 'learned to navigate a vagina'. He was also calling himself non-binary for a while to which I responded 'you're a man'. He seemed miffed.

If they argue, I tell them to go present their case to the principal and come back with a written note saying it is approved. That usually stops them in their tracks.
The other art teacher, who teaches the senior grades, lets them do whatever and some of their work is really innapropriate for a high-school setting. He has also let one of the more, let's say problematic, students make a fake paper gun which he then waved around outside causing one of the neighbours to call the cops. He also thinks it's great when they 'express themselves' with nudity or sexualized content.

2026-05-29 11:50:27 UTC

No. My students are not allowed to show violence, sexualization, nudity, weapons, or drugs. Their work must be school-appropriate.

Chicken cardi was a hit. Has inspired one teacher to learn how to crochet. School secretary nicknamed it my 'cock sweater'. Following conversation went hilariously downhill from there. Vice-principal joined in. It got worse. When told that the first few chickens were fun but by the 30th it was tedious he came up with 'so 30 cocks is too many?'. I threatened them both with a harassement complaint. They were very entertained by my faux outrage.

But if you tell them that a crime with a sentence of more than six months will jeopardize your ability to stay, but don't worry, we'll adjust your sentence so that doesn't happen, they are going to reoffend here. And will certainly make them attractive recruits for criminal gangs.

2026-04-10 23:56:26 UTC

Couldn't find a single English-language news source covering this:
Non-residents getting lower sentences so as not to trigger expulsion procedures. Minister calls for a 'return to order'. In other words, to apply the law equally to residents and non-residents. You don't get a lesser sentence for the same offense because it will impact your immigration process.
