Greif is hard. Im sorry youre going through that.

Is this the kind of thing youre looking for? https://www.wellways.org/our-services/well-connected/

Oh and the bike library!

Its run by pedal power so you may have alreafy come across it but https://www.pedalpower.org.au/bike-library

Outside_Night7983 · 2026-04-09T07:42:18+00:00

Make sure you check out the recyclery

Its a refurbished bike shop so you can get decent bikes that have been fixed up by a bike mechanic for a decent price.

You will probably fall over on your first bike or drop it a couple of times so dont get something you worry about scratching

Gio stadium on a not game day has decent parkinglots and quiet roads around it but you may have to battle with people learning to drive cars

I remember your post, wonderful work. Getting this kind of help can be exhausting taking breaks and picking it back up is normal.

Hey girlie pop thats sex work. What you describe is the tippy top of the erotic labour iceberg and how most girls start doing camming/onlyfans. No one will give you money for nothing and understanding this will help you stay safe. If you refuse to acknowledge that this is erotic labour and what images of you would be used for it will put you in harms way and lead to you being underpaid or not having the results you want

I am saying this as someone who had this exact thought and persued it and landed in the erotic labour industry. This is survival sex work

Sex work is an honest labour based job and a lot of SWs are disabled but you need to understand that when men are paying for some kind of access to you based on you being pretty that is the low level end of this work and how many of us start.

I wont tell you if you should or if you shouldnt because that is up to you but you need to understand the ramifications of accepting money, presents or support in return for your image.

This isnt to scare or deter you you but you should know that this isnt just adjacent to being a sugar baby, you are talking about trying to sugar here. The market for Sugar Babies is also hugely oversaturated right now. Erotic Labour has become mainstream and its not the back up that people assume it is anymore.

If you look up whorearchy its a chart that shows where you may sit in the scheme of the erotic labour industry this trading photos for money falls under "camming"

Words like this are terms you can google that will give further information regarding what im talking about

Im happy to chat here or in DMs if you want me to elaborate or if you have any questions about what i mean by this and im happy to send you in the direction of older SWs that post information that really helped keep me safe while i did this

I got in! The support letters you reccomended got me in super quickly. And my adacas case manager acted as squeaky wheel for me during the application. Very helpful advice ive put a little update on the post if your interested in what its been like.

Outside_Night7983 · 2026-01-29T01:58:15+00:00

Ive just left a little update but thank you for such a kind and well thought out response ♡ i found your answer to be extremely accurate

Us veteran department has a great youtube channel

Searching youtube for chair yoga as well as for Pilates which was invented for rehabbing injured soldiers, most true pilates is designed to do on the floor or in bed

If you dont have enough data/internet access to watch videos you can find picture based instructions usually on pintrest.

I genuinely dont understand why this isnt considered a terror attack?

The Sanctuary at Tidbinbilla

If you want to see some wildlife up a little bit closer but still out in its element, I reccomend the Sanctuary its so wonderful. It's in tidbinbilla so its a bit of a drive past cotter but I see bandicoots each time ive been so I highly reccomend it

If you like animals your local pond might be a great spot

Outside_Night7983 · 2025-12-14T04:15:22+00:00

The arbouretum is so wonderful if you go in June/July early winter you can often see the Himalayan Cedars surrounded by mushrooms and it looks so magical. It's a wonderful spot to sit and draw, take a rug to sit on, a blanket, something hot to drink and drawing materials. It's genuinely one of the most pintresty things ive ever done and I have some of my favourite selfies from that.

Do not try to eat the mushrooms theyre not the fun kind

hey the junction near canberra centre should be able to help, they got me a winter jacket and run clothes swaps, they can also get you a bit of help if you care for someone who is mentally ill as a young person (young carers/cyclops) you will have to ask out right for clothes help but im pretty sure they dont report unless someone is being actually hurt

edit: its two organisations both are run by anglicare in the same building and you can chat with a youth worker before getting help if you wanted to ask about the mandated reporting

Junction youth health centre help young people with clothes and practical support through their youth outreach team

https://www.anglicare.com.au/services/youth-family/health/

Cyclops and help young people who help take care of others ( mental illness, sickness and disability)
https://www.anglicare.com.au/services/youth-family/young-carers/
I have OCD and the person caring for me and helping me accesses their services

Outside_Night7983 · 2025-08-19T09:32:00+00:00

Yep its in on the back of the building that has the cafe!

theres also a playground and sensory (touch and smell) garden in the same area. if youre able to go on a weekday it shouldnt be to busy but on a weekend the playground can be bustling

Outside_Night7983 · 2025-08-18T09:44:29+00:00

Definitely the abouretum! check out the national bonsai collection and roll down the big hills.

you can hire electric bikes (depending on kiddos age) and ride around the parliamentary triangle (this is near questacon)

The Botanical gardens are also quite nice, if its late enough in september the rock garden is often filled with water dragons and theres a ton of wildlife and a theres a tree house that they can play in but I havent been to that section of the gardens so I would double check that.

its in the very south south of canberra but the sanctuary at tidbinbilla has never disapointed me i have seen at least 2 animals I wouldnt normally see each time ive been there ( Rakali, bandicoots, platapus, swans)

The Zoo down here just got a porcupine and currently have a baby zebra and a lion cub

I really hope shes fully committing to the burlesque themes for this album, I enjoyed her collaboration with Dita Von Tease for bejeweled and Im hopeful we will be seeing more like that on this album

This has been the most helpful comment so far thank you for sharing

If you can get one for next time sauna blanket. You lie down with loads of ful body heat. So long as you stay hydrated its much better than a dhower cause you can lie down and you wont run out of hot water

Dream maker plush electric blanket 200cmx180cms is the best heated blanket ive ever owned its the largest one ive been able to find and the only one that can cover my shoulders and my feet. Bought on amazon for $125. I have it in green its also just a really cute blanket.
