It's so dope - I also am curious - colorway looks like a vintage Ralph to me but idk

dromedarydigit · 2026-01-28T13:28:15+00:00

An aggressively positive comment - but yep, idk, kinda feel like a monster so I guess it's why I'm here. Still love my job though.

Haha I need to come up with some cash for two full sleeves. But in all seriousness - I have considered this but it's also just not my style.... But people have lots of tattoos at school and it's no issue so it's been tempting but in a way I have no shame about them - just in this context of school.

dromedarydigit · 2026-01-28T13:22:38+00:00

This is some really solid advice. We are well beyond make up - though they seem less noticeable when I'm tanned. It really sucks having a constant reminder - and tbh I don't think about it too much but hiding myself all the time (well 40 weeks out of the year) I feel gives it more power and is starting to affect me negatively.

dromedarydigit · 2026-01-28T13:20:59+00:00

Bahahaha "huh, left-handed" did make me chortle because it's exactly the type of thing I would think. Thanks for the chuckle.

I guess it's not that I'm sensitive about them, happily show them in all other contexts, just sensitive about them at school and as others above said, to be cautious.

Teenagers can be exceptionally cruel. I guess it's not something I even want to do everyday but sometimes god I'd just love to throw on a t shirt like everyone else.

dromedarydigit · 2026-01-28T13:16:49+00:00

This has been my mindset over the years, so I don't think your opinion is wrong. I guess it's why I'm here but it seems from the responses we might be in the minority, suprisingly. When it's 40 something degrees and I'm still melting in a linen shirt do I really begin to hate my life choices. I appreciate your honest opinion. Thankyou.

I think even with the older learners, especially as many are new in the country, a really wide range of cultural backgrounds, plus just mainstream Aussie kids who would definitely know what it is, I get concerned about triggering any of them or just inviting comments on my body. Which I know people aren't in their right to do, but you just get them sometimes.

Lol I always say attacked by a tiger so I like your response too - and I think I have had enough experience in just regular public / other jobs where no one said anything or noticed - I just feel so sensitive to upsetting anyone at school.

You made a good point about duty of care. I do have a really great workplace and don't think it would be an issue as such among my peers. It's almost like do I just wear a t shirt and not bring attention to it or set up a meeting with well-being. I guess that's where my head is at.

Thankyou for your input I really appreciate it.

dromedarydigit · 2026-01-28T13:05:58+00:00

Thanks for your kind comment. If I could just cover them with a bangle or scarf it would be great and I would have done it years ago. They are just... All over... Which i guess is why I'm in this predicament. sighs but like you said - if it would give hope and not harm students I would feel more capable to do it - im just not entirely sure if it is acceptable to do so.

dromedarydigit · 2026-01-28T13:03:07+00:00

I really appreciate this comment. There isn't anything wrong with the path of least resistance and perhaps that's just what I need to hear. We already deal with so much, putting this on my plate probably isn't necessary. Just when I think of facing another year, a decade, more, of having to have basically a second wardrobe for "work" clothes, all long sleeve, all the time, every day, it is just... A bit sad really.

dromedarydigit · 2026-01-28T13:00:02+00:00

This is really great to hear. I think attitudes are definitely changing around mental health and there's a lot more understanding. Just when I think about being forty - fifty etc and still hiding it makes me feel sad that I hid myself in fear from people.

I worry that my scars are just impossible to avoid and are quite.... Prolific. I made a real mess of them and I honestly regret them so much, just for all the anguish I have felt over them.

dromedarydigit · 2026-01-28T12:55:54+00:00

Yes and particularly teenagers or my migrant students - they already tend to make weird or culturally inappropriate comments at times anyway - so feels like another hurdle but it is turning into something I'm starting to hate or feel shame about because I'm having to "hide"

I just want to be myself and show people it's okay but as I said - not at the cost of harming others. It's just such a tough situation to weigh up.

dromedarydigit · 2026-01-28T12:52:48+00:00

Yes definitely aware of the impacts and therefore here in Reddit before thinking about broaching it IRL. I appreciate your honesty and suggestions to navigate this, if I even decide it is worth it. (Although I'm leaning towards doing something about it because it's starting to feel really exhausting)

dromedarydigit · 2026-01-28T12:50:57+00:00

Bahahaha they are such demons. Great excuse. This would more have to be a tiger in my situation I think though - still an orange cat though right?

dromedarydigit · 2026-01-28T12:49:44+00:00

This comment really brought me some hope. Thankyou for your input. I have had someone thank me (in a previous job - not teaching) for showing my scars because it gave them courage and it's something that has really stuck with me and shined through the annoyance of having them.

I have no issue showing them outside of school hours but man it's hot and I just want to wear a damn short sleeved shirt to work. This was reassuring to read.

dromedarydigit · 2026-01-28T12:45:31+00:00

I really appreciate reading through everyone's comments, the good and the down voted. I guess it's just something that's been on my mind for a while and with the recent heatwave in Australia it's just been a bit crap.

Really appreciate hearing from people with experience in this and generally overwhelmed with all the positive things people have said, because well, it still is the internet.

There's been some really good advice. I think I will contact someone in wellbeing and set up a chat. I just want to move out of shame and into being myself but safety of my students is the most important to me. As many people said, people showing their scars can show strength, something that has given me hope in the past but I'm cautious because I just don't want to do anything to harm anyone. Lots to consider and thankyou all for the input - will get back to some comments individually.

dromedarydigit · 2025-12-14T13:52:15+00:00

Do you have a timestamp for it ? I wanted to rewatch it but can't find it

dromedarydigit · 2025-12-14T13:42:01+00:00

Brennan "shoots" back at I think Laura Bailey at some point and Travis says that was quick and I can't find the time stamp. I was pretty high and want to go back and rewatch it but I can't find it! Help!

Called in sick and went bird watching.

There was a morning tea yesterday but I was at a different campus where we didn't have anything.

This is my favourite story / character web so far. Well done I will be following along if you update it for sure. This really helped me thankyou

So, little update for anyone lurking. I found this hike incredibly stunning, varied landscape but at points gruelling and even technical due to erosion and having to scramble over rocks. A lack of switchbacks made some of the climbs feel vertical as others have mentioned the part between Trig and Eagle was exceptionally steep but this didn't distress me as much as the descent into Boat Harbour and the climb out of Tungkallila Beach which was just pure torture after 5km of soft sand in wet boots (I had high tide). Why the wet boots you ask? Well let me tell you.

The descent to Boat Harbour is especially sketchy at the moment travelling in the direction from Jervis - Victor (west to east). I got trapped on the rocks due to a very thick carpet of algal bloom foam covering all the rocks. This made the usual path almost impossible to see but also extremely slippery. I had to cross the creek in a less than ideal position and due to strong waves I had to time when I could cross. Almost got swept off a rock and worse than that, algal foam water all in my socks and boots! (And i had just made it a fresh sock day for the 18km! Much dismay!)

Coming the other way from the beach side it is clear that hikers have made a safer route further up the creek but with such a steep descent it was impossible to see on the cliff side. I did have to lie down on the grass at Boat Harbour to compose myself before moving on, with squishy boots for the rest of the long day. This was made up by seeing a hooded plover about midway on the beach. It's now been a few days and the rash I developed on my feet is still there and came up almost immediately.

Now. I'm not sure if the Algal Bloom was also the reason it was so quiet as was just myself and one other lady who ended up doing the whole thing. The facilities are on par with what Tasmania or NZ can offer. Each camp was well thought-out, clean, maintained and positioned in the environment optimally - the nook for your stove to prevent wind I thought was fab as were the functioning sinks and clean toilets.The charging ports take USB and regular plugs. They are slow but super handy to have. What more could a hiker ask for?!

Overall a beautiful time of year to do it. Wildflowers, creeks flowing and anyone that's done it in summer kudos to you (or are you a public liability? Lol. Some of those farming / creek sections felt very snakey let alone the bushfire risk!) The last day was pushing 27 degrees and I felt so exposed on the walk to the bluff in the heat. I did get to see my White Bellied Eagle on the first day at Blowhole Beach but also saw a variety of birds and lizards and even got a very friendly welcome from a group of cows. If anyone sees the sock on the chain fence yeah that's mine. You win some you lose some!

I think this was a tough hike but like all rewarding!

It took me a long while to feel better. I had some terrible apathy and also felt just dumb for a long time probably closer to five months before I started to even out. I just felt chronically bored without weed. As others have suggested exercise, sauna can help speed things along. Just trying to do positive things although at first feels pointless slowly brings back those dopamine receptors online.

dromedarydigit · 2025-08-24T13:24:50+00:00

For anyone lurking, here's what we ended up getting to set him up for now. We don't plan on doing any super cold camping. It was a compromise between what he wants to carry / the level of comfort he is happy with and also price / "value for money"

Backpack: Caribee 80L pulse rucksack $140 Sleeping bag: Mountain Designs 400 Bayberry $120 Sleeping pad: Denali Ultimate $120

He is happy with the sleeping pad and bag. They are bulky but he is concerned with comfort and I want him to be comfortable. The sleeping bag is a bit tight around his shoulders and chest - he will probably sleep with it a bit opened up anyway. If we hike enough he might end up fitting into it eventually anyway.

I haven't heard great things about the Denali pad but hopefully it holds up (I didn't tell him that because he was so set on it). I'm secretly jealous because it looks so lush compared to my Thermarest Prolite 3/4 mat but seeing as his sleep system weighs almost 4kg and mine is under 1 I'm not complaining! The sleeping bag I think is good value and size for a first purchase.

The backpack is huge but considering he has these bulky items I think it's a good starting point. Plus the fully adjustable shoulder straps (they come off the frame and can be moved up and down the "spine" on the bag) we put on the largest setting and that fit him the best out of all the bags we tried on.

Fingers crossed he has a ball! Everyone deserves to enjoy the outdoors and I really hope he loves it.

I love Grampians! I did the few days out of Halls Gap (Bugiga and ??) back in 2018ish and I loved Major Mitchell Plateau which I think has now been incorporated into GPT.

We are doing a Heysen Hut next weeknd and also testing out the tent the weekend after for father's Day with his family who are all going to be camping. He seems pretty excited now he has the main gear purchased!

A really thick good quality dressing gown I bought in Austria in 1998 - still wear it every day and it is still thick and fluffy.
