I'm nearly 150 pages into Worst Journey and Priestly keeps showing up and he is telling me so many interesting things but I'm still not sure what his Job is on this expedition all Cherry's told me is that he A) wrote a book and B) served with Shackleton and I have discerned that he Takes Photographs which is Important!!! But I am wondering if he is also perhaps. A geologist or something? PLEASE HELP.
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT SWEET BABY RAY
Tumblr media
this stylish dude began his polar career when he was chosen to go on shackleton's nimrod expedition in 1907. he was a geology student at bristol university at the time, only two years into his degree at age 20 and without any qualifications to speak of. shackleton asked him two questions in the interview (“Would you know gold if you saw it?” “Can you play a musical instrument?”) and then he was hired!
he mainly was like... the Young Man of the expedition (alongside brocklehurst who was his age but brocklehurst's role was the Rich Kid) ... the most notable incident was when he slept outside a tent during a blizzard on mount erebus (bc there wasn't room for him inside 😭), got pushed down the hill by the wind in his sleeping bag and nearly died. but he was ok!!! didn't even lose any toes!!! unlike that loser PHIL
Tumblr media
(bb priestley on nimrod. early in his baldness journey)
there were two other qualified geologists brought along on the expedition, Edgeworth David and Douglas Mawson, who he learned a lot from, and after the expedition he spent time in Sydney cataloguing and studying the Antarctic samples underneath Professor David. this led to him getting picked right back up by Scott again when one of the Terra Nova's geologists dropped out due to tuberculosis and he asked David who he should take instead.
he wasn't part of the main cape evans party on scott's expedition but was instead the geologist for the Eastern Party, which became the Northern Party and ended up having a ludicrously bad time, trapped in a tiny ice cave for six months. (for more about that check out The Longest Winter!!)
but they rescued their own asses and ended up all getting out OK. while waiting to get picked up by the ship, priestley and debenham hung out at shackleton's cape royds hut (where priestley had lived back in the day) and sketched out the plans for what would eventually become the SPRI!!!
after the expedition, all the scientists went home to england and hung out at priestley's family home in tewkesbury while working on their scientific results. this had the hilarious consequence of two of his sisters getting married to his expedition friends (Doris to Griffith Taylor and Edith to Charles Wright). and deb missed out somehow... tough luck bro.......
Tumblr media
(baldness journey well advanced. he is transforming into mark gatiss)
aaaand after that a lot of stuff happened.. like the war.... he got a degree in agriculture (?) then helped deb and wordie found the SPRI, and eventually became a career university administrator. he was very active in lecturing about the antarctic throughout his whole life! and even went back as a tour guide for prince philip in the 50s lmao
in conclusion: priestley you have to stop. you smoke too tough. your swag too different. your bitch is too bad. they'll kill you

Scarlett
"Buongiorno, signora."
"Buongiorno." I handed the man with a very intimidating moustache, sitting behind the immigration inspection desk, my passport. My new bright orange floral leather sleeve sat in the crevice between his thumb and forefinger as he fingered through the pages to find the photograph page. I smiled genuinely at him before looking back to my phone to check the text that told me where I would be meeting my taxi driver. Normally the broker would arrange for the drivers to meet me with a sign in the airport arrival area, but this time it looked like I would have to meet them outside the airport in the taxi rank. Not that I minded, I just enjoyed the usual more - it made me feel famous.
"Business or pleasure, signora?"
"Business," I responded, tossing my hair over to the other side and hoisting my carry-on bag further onto my shoulder. "I'm working on a super-yacht."
The man nodded once, looking completely unimpressed, before stamping my passport and passing it back to me, waving me through to baggage claim. I smiled again at him, ignoring the fact that he looked past me with a blank stare. I got it, his job looked incredibly tedious. Having to deal with people like me; ignorant people who didn't speak the language and, worse still, refused to learn, entering his country every day. That's us Brits for you.
I wandered to the baggage claim area in pursuit of my bag. Before the upcoming season, I'd just completed a winter season sailing in Australia. My phone buzzed with the familiar 'Welcome to Italy' message from Vodafone. It buzzed again with a text from my mum.
Mum: Hope you're alright, hun. Text me when you land. Dad's still upset that you aren't coming home. Have fun. Mum x
My dad never got it, my ambition to travel. Probably never would. He hadn't been out of the country since he and Mum had split up when I was seventeen. He was happy with summers spent in Skegness and Blackpool. As soon as I found yachting I was on the first bus to Cornwall, where the training took place. My nanna had been an air hostess, so I like to think travelling is in my blood. She was brave and bold and was the first person to defend me at family gatherings for my life choices. I kept an album of her photos from her travelling days under my bed at home and kept a small Polaroid of us together in my purse. It helped when I was second-guessing myself in my job or if I was having a wobble about life. It was all the motivation I needed to keep going.
Walking through the bustling airport, I checked the screens above each luggage belt for the correct one. Amsterdam... Paris... London... Sydney. As I approached the Sydney belt, I pulled my headphones out of my bag to continue listening to the podcast I'd had on during the flight. I was in the middle of being lectured on why we were all wrong about Anna Nicole Smith by a pair of millennials - who were most likely barely birthed when she was actually alive - before the plane began to land.
The belt moved around and around for almost half an hour before any bags actually made their way out to its impatiently awaiting audience. I watched as a little boy ran to jump onto a giant black suitcase that was bulging at the sides, his dad rushed to pick both the boy and the suitcase up off the belt before they both found themselves winding back out to the mysterious place where the bags were handled. No one ever really questions where they come from or who handles them, they simply just appear. The boy's mum was in the middle of breastfeeding a very young baby but wasn't deterred from chastising the boy loud enough for me to hear over my headphones.
I watched a young lad from a group of tatted-up blokes, who I assumed were on a stag do, help an elderly man hoist his very large leopard print suitcase off the belt once he'd seen he was struggling. I then watched the elderly man wheel the case and its matching carry-on over to another elderly man who grabbed his hand to guide them both towards the arrivals exit.
I spotted my Gucci (T.K Maxx Special) monogrammed suitcase as it came steadily around the corner and stepped to pick it up, dragging it to land heavily on the shiny marble floor, being careful to not drop it on my sandalled feet. Then I just had to wait for my dad's old navy-blue duffle to wind its way through.
Walking out from the arrivals exit, the heat hit me straight in the face, but with a pleasantry that only came from the Italian Riviera. I sighed happily and slid my Dior sunglasses over my eyes. They were a gift from my last boyfriend, but for that price, there was no way they'd be going to the tip like the rest of his stuff.
Before looking for my taxi, I stepped to the side to toss my curls into a high bun. There was no way I'd make it through a hot taxi ride with probably no air conditioning with my thick black locks hanging around my neck and face. Once I was satisfied with the look after a quick check in a nearby parked car window, I lit a cigarette and checked my phone again for the licence plate number of the taxi I'd be taking to the dock.
Glancing around, my eyes landed on a sleek black Tesla. My eyebrows raised, sliding the glasses down my nose, I double-checked its plate number with my phone once more. If this luxury travel was anything to go by, this charter season, I was in for a treat.
Tumblr media
"Grazie mille." I said as the kind man, who I learned was named Tullio, tried to carefully remove my heavy bag from the boot of the car. "It's okay you can just drop it." He smiled and wiped his brow and began to wheel it up the dock. I rushed to stump out my second cigarette on the top of the nearest bin, then trotted to catch up with him, attempting to take the handle from him. "Oh, please, um, per favore, I can take it from here." He waved me off and gestured for me to lead on. I blew a few stray curls from my forehead, smiled tight-lipped at him and stepped to start making my way up the dock.
Mega-yacht after mega-yacht passed by as I searched for the one I'd been hired on, Andiamo. I felt the awkwardness creep up my spine at the thought of meeting the crew and captain alongside Tullio. I didn't want them to think I was one of those stewardesses. I already knew that I'd give that impression with my choice of designer bag - even if it was a knock-off. I didn't need a small, sweaty Italian man in a too-tight suit trailing behind me with it to make that worse.
"Ah, here we are, grazie, Tullio." I smiled widely, stopping outside a random boat. He looked at me, one bushy brow raised in question, then shook his head and continued up the dock. My face fell and I followed him sheepishly. He must have thought I was barmy.
As we approached the end of the dock, I spotted a tall man, arms folded, looking sharp in a uniform. He was standing at the stern of a boat that the closer we approached became clear to be named, Andiamo. I couldn't see how many stripes were on his uniform but my guess was that he was the captain. The rattling of my suitcase along the creaky wooden boards of the dock grabbed his attention and he opened his arms wide, laughing sharply before clapping his hands twice.
"Ciao, bella!" The man on the boat exclaimed loudly in a very American twang, making poor Tullio jump slightly and mutter incoherently in Italian. The dock was so quiet otherwise. I smiled and brought one hand to shield my eyes and the other up to wave at him. He jogged around the side of the huge ship, practically skipped down the passerelle and hopped onto the dock as we met in the middle. "Welcome, Scarlett!" He yelled, even though we were barely two steps apart. Americans.
"Ciao, you must be-"
"Captain Bobby, a pleasure to meet you." He held a hand out for me to shake, which I did with gusto - always eager to make a good first impression and wanting to match his energy. He turned to Tullio who stood beside me. "Signore, grazie, I'll take it from here." Bobby nodded, but Tullio didn't move. "Oh, right." Bobby jumped into action, patting the pockets of his trousers in search of his wallet. Pulling it from the back of his very tight white trousers, he plucked out a note and handed it to Tullio who saluted us both and meandered back up the dock. Bobby sighed awkwardly while putting his wallet back, but he recovered quickly. "Alright, let's get you on board." He clapped his hands again, rubbing them together before hoisting my suitcase onto his shoulder with surprising ease. My eyes wandered to the bulging muscle of his upper arms in his smart white shirt and epaulettes, but only for a second before I shook it off and followed him up the passerelle, kicking off my shoes in the process.
"She's a beauty, Captain." I said, glancing around the gorgeous boat before me.
"Yeah, we've got ourselves a looker, that's for sure!" He shouted again, leading me into the bridge.
"So, Scarlett-" He said, placing my suitcase onto the pristine burgundy carpet and rolling it to sit in the corner.
"Oh, please, call me Lettie. It's what all my other boats called me." I corrected with a shrug and a smile. He nodded.
"Alright, Lettie. I've obviously read over your resume many times, but please, tell me a bit about yourself." He leaned back against the arm of the big leather captain's chair and folded his arms across his chest. He smiled and I noticed how kind his eyes were, with the way they crinkled at the corners. He was a pretty young captain from my experience, I hoped that that fact would bode well.
"Well, I'm 27 years old, I'm from Liverpool originally but I've been travelling and yachting since I was 19. I've just come from a season in Oz which was a 74-footer, and I-"
"ROBERT?!" I jolted slightly at the loud interruption that sounded like it came from the dock. I whipped around whilst the captain clapped his hands again and laughed as he squeezed my shoulder, darting out of the door. I frowned as I watched him leave and moved to look at what all the fuss was about.
"Hey hey! Harold! You're looking fresh, my man!" I leaned against the small entryway to the bridge to watch the captain jog to meet a long-haired man at the end of the passerelle. The man had round black sunglasses on, a patterned shirt that was undone to just past his chest, and loose brown shorts. He'd brought half his wardrobe if his baggage was anything to go by. I counted four black duffle bags that were bursting at the seams resting on the dock. It's a good job Tullio only had to pick me up from the airport...
"You're telling me?! Get in here you handsome bastard." The two men hugged closely, clapping their hands on each other's backs. I rolled my eyes at the bro fest and stepped back into the bridge to wander down the stairs and through to the interior of the boat. It was beautiful; varnished wooden surfaces, a luxurious curved sofa as a centrepiece, all leading to wall-to-wall double glass doors that led out to a stunning view from the aft deck, and loads of vast space. I ran my finger along a windowsill and lifted it to see a coat of dust. Sure, it was stunning, but it was fucking filthy. I sighed and looked out the window, I imagined who I would be working with and hoped that they were ready to put in some hard work because I wanted to make good money this season. I heard the low timbre of male voices approaching again and turned to see them coming down the winding stairs, still chatting and catching up.
"Ah, there she is! Harry, this is Scarlett- oh sorry, I mean Lettie. Our chief stewardess for the season." I smiled at the men and stepped to extend my hand to shake.
"Great to meet you, Scarlett. I'm the bosun." He said, smiling around a deep British accent. As he took my palm in his, I noticed how rough his hands were, the classic sign of a deckie.
"You too, Harry. You're quite young for a bosun, eh?" He shrugged and smirked.
"Maybe I'm not as young as you think."
"Harry's been my first mate for three years now, we were on another boat though. I trust you guys will work well together to figure out everything on Andiamo." I nodded dutifully and hoped that Harry wouldn't be what I suspected he'd be from first impressions. But something deep inside me secretly hoped that he would. I supposed that only time would tell.
We walked further into the interior and on down to the crew mess. The captain led the way through to explain where the crew quarters were. I was surprised by how big the space for the crew was, my previous boat had had tiny living quarters. "So, Lettie you'll have two stews under you, a girl and a guy, if I remember correctly." I nodded. "And you've actually got the same under you, H."
"Nothing new there then," Harry smirked to the captain, who rolled his eyes playfully.
"I don't wanna know, man." Captain Bobby put his hands up in surrender and wandered back out to the mess. Harry glanced back at me and I quirked a brow in his direction, before moving past him to check where the uniforms had been stored.
Just as I started sifting through the laundry room and placing uniforms into piles for everyone, I heard the captain yelling again above. The crew mess was normally very soundproof, due to all the debauchery that usually took place there - he was really that loud. I guessed that more crew were arriving.
"Hey, Harry what size t-shirt are you?" I called out to him.
"Depends, is it Fruit of the Loom?"
"Um, no. They're unbranded." I looked at the label on the neck of the bright teal-coloured shirt in my hand. I walked back out to the mess to see him sprawled out on the bench seat, munching on an apple. He'd put his shoulder-length hair into a bun that didn't look much different to my own. "They're soft though. This one's a large? What do you think?" He jumped up from where he sat in the mess and bared his chest, holding the apple in his teeth. I scoffed a laugh and held up the shirt to his chest, he nodded with a smirk, his dimples poking through each side of the apple.
"This'll do, Scar." He took the shirt from me and put it over his shoulder as he took another bite of his apple, moving past me to go into his room. My move to return to the laundry room was halted by a girl coming down the stairs.
"Hi! I'm Marnie!" The girl exclaimed, her blonde hair whipping to catch up with how quickly she'd bounded down the stairs. She pulled on the straps of her enormous backpack to readjust it on her tiny shoulders.
"Oh, hi Marnie, I'm Scarlett. But you can call me Lettie." I smiled and shook her hand and tried not to be blinded by her perfect white teeth, bared in a bright smile. "I'm the chief stew."
"Great! I'm a deckie." She explained, her strong Australian accent caused a ripple of warmth through my veins. I already missed Oz. Hearing footsteps, I turned back to see Harry jogging through the narrow corridor towards us.
"Is that a deckie, I hear?" He said, still chomping on his half-eaten apple. "Hey, I'm Harry, bosun" Marnie didn't miss a beat, opening her arms up to signal a hug, which caused Harry to hesitate slightly before accepting.
"I'm so excited for this season! Is anyone else here yet?"
"Just us and Cap so far."
"Oh, pick of the rooms then!" Marnie winked, if her speech was written down, every sentence would be finished off with an exclamation mark. I loved her already. I led her to the bedroom next to Harry's, which she'd be sharing with the engineer, who, I was pleased to see, was also female.
I continued sorting through the laundry, placing fresh uniform packs onto each of the free beds. Each pack had a pair of white shirts with epaulettes, corresponding to each role, a pair of teal polo shirts, and a pair of shorts or a skort, depending on the person. Then I started unpacking in my room.
I was in the middle of organising my knickers and bras neatly into a drawer when I heard a crash. Rushing out into the hallway I was met with Harry's confused face across from me. We looked at each other for a second before he tilted his head for me to lead the way towards the crew mess.
I gasped, "Oh, Christ, are you okay?" I reached to help the girl that was trying to lift herself up off her enormous, metallic silver, hardshell suitcase that was lying flat on the polished wooden floor.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry, I'm so embarrassed."
"Did you fall down all those stairs?" I asked, Harry moved the suitcase to sit back on its four wheels, rolling it to the side of the crew mess table. The girl nodded, rubbing her elbow.
"Why didn't you get Cap to carry your suitcase down here for you? Or he could've radioed me." Harry leaned against the table, folding his arms across his chest. I took her arm in my hands and turned it inspect the possible damage.
"Wanted to do it myself." The girl said in a smaller voice. She was so petite, but I could see the lines of muscles in her bare arms, she probably could have done it herself if the stairs weren't so narrow. "I'm fine, honestly. I'll just go to my room." She shrugged her arm out of my grasp and moved towards her case. I frowned in her direction and caught Harry's eye as she moved down the hallway, he smirked, confirming that we'd both had the same thought. She was a stew.
"Um, hey, I can let you know which room you're in, what's your name?"
"Molly," she sighed in an accent I could tell hailed from either New York or Boston. "I'm second stew, I think." She stopped and glanced to look at me expectantly.
"Oh, yes. I'm Scarlett, but you can call me Lettie. I'm chief stew." I smiled slightly, I felt like I was treading on eggshells around this girl. "You're in with me," I said, beckoning her towards our room. "I hope you don't mind the top bunk, I just prefer to be on the ground." I laughed lightly. Molly smiled tight-lipped at me and lifted her suitcase up onto the top bunk with minimal effort. I knew it.
We continued to unpack in silence, I hoped that this frost that had come to rest upon the beginnings of our relationship was temporarily caused by her unwanted trip down the stairs. I'd just finished making my bed when I heard another voice, this time deep and masculine, I counted my lucky stars as I left the room.
"Hi!" It was my turn to say everything with an exclamation mark. The man jumped as I rushed towards him. He had dark shades on and just a large backpack slung over one shoulder. His megawatt smile made my belly flip - he was fucking gorgeous. "Sorry, I'm Scarlett, I'm the chief stew." Stepping forward, I collected myself and held a hand for him to shake. His bulging muscle flexed as he shook it, before lifting his shades to sit on his head and slinging his backpack to the floor.
"So nice to meet you Scarlett, I'm Jesse. I'm a steward." I quirked my brow at him, but inwardly rolled my eyes at myself for assuming that he would be a deckie.
"Nice to meet you, too! Looking forward to working with you this season. Let me show you where you'll be staying." I led Jesse to where he'd be staying with the male deckhand and left him to settle in and unpack.
I looked at my Apple Watch and decided to take a smoke break before heading up to start organising the boat. I let both of my stews know to be ready to help within the hour and headed up to the aft deck.
The sun was just beginning to set over the line where the sky met the steady waves of the sea. I sat on the teak and slid my legs through the bars to dangle over the edge of the boat. Taking a cigarette out of the personalised case my Grandma had given me and lit one. I sighed the smoke out and swung my legs back and forth in front of me, leaning an arm back to rest on. I thought about quitting every time I left a boat - smoking that is. But every time I boarded a new one all I could think about was having a ciggy out on the deck. It was just too easy, the culture was smoking and, to be honest, I'd find myself desperate for one after a hard day on charter.
I took another deep drag and brought my gaze to the crystal-clear water below me. I watched two bright blue fish swim in circular patterns, one of them chasing the other. I smiled softly, leaning my chin on my arm on the metal rail. The warm breeze blew through my curls and made me feel content for a few moments.
"Hey, mind if I knick one of those?" I jumped slightly at the interference of my peace but recognised Harry's low timbre. I turned to face him, his figure stood in the golden sunshine, making him look rather yummy. I nodded and passed him my case and lighter. He flicked it open as he swung his legs through the bars to sit beside me. Lighting up, he looked closer at the metal case, turning it in his hand. He ran his thumb across the raised imagery and wording. "Is this supposed to be you?"
I laughed, blowing another puff of smoke through my lips and nostrils. "What do you think?"
"I think if it's an accurate portrayal, I can't wait to see you in a bikini." I laughed again, taking the case back and looking at it myself. On the front, there was an illustration of an extremely voluptuous woman, naked apart from the flames engulfing her intimate parts. Her head was tilted back, eyes hooded and mouth agape sensually. But her flowing dark curls were where our similarities ended, I could assure him that much.
Yeah, nana wasn't your average grandma.
"I bet. Shame I only brought one-pieces, then, isn't it?" I said, side-eyeing him as I blew more fumes from my lips. I moved to put the case to my side on the teak.
"Ah, I'm sure I've got something you can borrow." He rebuffed casually, looking out to the sunset before us. I side-eyed him harder.
"You've brought bikinis?" I questioned, running my tongue along my the edges of my top teeth in curiosity, a slight lift in the corner of my mouth.
"One or two may have ended up in my suitcase, comes with the territory." I scoffed and rolled my eyes playfully at his cocky wink in my direction. He was one of those guys who had a permanent smirk on his lips. I always got on with guys like that, at least at first. I was never one to take to people who took life too seriously. They usually ended up taking the joke a step too far though.
I decided to chance it and give him a once over as he looked out to sea. His hair was still pulled back in a hair tie, with wispy baby hairs dancing in the warm breeze. Green eyes, squinting in the sunlight but still glittering in the reflection of the ocean beneath us. He had a prominent nose with large nostrils, but it only served to enhance his distinctive face. He interrupted gruffly, a slight cough directed into a fist brought to his mouth. "You should know that. Been in the industry for an age, haven't you."
I glanced back outwards, lining up the tip of my cigarette between my two fingers with the edge of where the sky met the sea. "Certainly feels that way," I mumbled slightly, closing one eye as the scorched tip continued to sizzle away. "Yachting years are like dog years. My body would definitely agree." I decided not to question how he knew the length of time I'd been yachting, it wasn't uncommon for staff to read each other's files before a season, especially the bosun.
"Your body definitely speaks for itself." Harry side-eyed me again, taking a long pull from his cigarette over smirking lips. He was going hard, but I couldn't afford to let my imagination run too wild. He was the bosun and as the chief stew, we needed to have a strong relationship onboard. Which meant avoiding a catastrophic relationship off-board. Although, I let my mind wander to all the ways I could make him feel catastrophic.
Shaking my head and ridding myself of the thoughts, I stubbed my cigarette out in the crystal ashtray I'd found behind the bar in the main salon and moved to stand.
"Alright, pretty boy," I said, before leaning down to speak into his ear, hands squeezing his broad shoulders. "I think it's time we did some work, yeah?" With that, I left him with a parting tap, but I could feel his eyes on me as I walked away. Looking into my reflection before the double glass doors began to slide open, the suspicion was confirmed with a glance at him behind me.
This was going to be one hell of a season.

Heeeeeeeeeyyyy Sydneyyyyy : ) Buddy! Pal! Bestie! How've you beeeen welcome to tumblr hope everything's good I just have uh a teeny tiny smidge of a favour to ask you-
P L E A S E ask your father to stop showing sex tapes in class. Your dad's swell, I help at his shop sometimes it's cool, but I see so so so much more of his bare ass in a week than I'm comfortable with and it's always for a lesson he's taught us about 20 times already. I think we're all clear on the fact that porn lies to you.
Allow me, your guide on this journey, to paint a picture for you. So you can understand my feelings.
It's 9am. Neither me nor my poor twin sibling have slept. I was at one of my jobs, they were uh... Staring at the ceiling. We're both just fucked. Our good pal Sydney's dad comes in for a fun and informative science lesson! Yaaaaaay! But then for some ungodly reason your old man decides to show us all a sex tape! The poor bastard I popped out with's sat next to me. Let that knowledge sit with you.
Now I've seen my share of butts. I'm accustomed to them. My sibling? Not so much. Kind of person that regularly throws their little cardigans at me to make sure I'm covered up enough to be okay outside. They aren't coping with this whole your dad's bare ass on screen situation. I think one day their sleep deprived brain will crack and they'll start crying in class and make a scene.
Apologies for the superlong message no rush with the response or pressure to match the length at all but this was important + also wayyyyy too awkward to tell you in person for obvious reasons. Pls help.
~ @poorsadorphanposting (Esmee •⌄•)
Esmee!! Greetings! :D Everything's fine. This Tumblr thing has proven to be... strange so far. I fear a lot of people have gotten too comfortable with the anonymous feature, though. It was foolish of me to not expect that.
As for the favour, I... Um. I don't really know what to say. I'm not too familiar with how he runs his classroom, but that certainly sounds... peculiar?? The way you painted a picture of your day was convincing and I have no reason to believe you're lying.
I hate to say this, but... It makes me glad I don't take his class. He always tries to lecture me about those kind of things, and that's strenuous enough. To be shown a graphic demonstration, countless times??? Oof. That's unnecessary. I hope Edin is alright, I too would be very rattled.
I'll talk to him for you. Teaching the same lesson 20 times over is redundant and exhaustive. I mean, really. How many times do you need to see something to get it in your head? Not that many. :/
Uh... Before I do, though. I just want to clarify...
1) You're sure sex tape is the right word? It's more graphic than just a teaching demonstration?
2) What is the lesson he's teaching exactly? Why does he think it's necessary to show that?
3) You're sure its... him? I mean, in your message you were very clear that it's my "dad's bare butt", but... Hm.
Thanks. Sorry for my hesitance, I don't mean to pry, but this is the first I'm hearing of any of this. I want to make sure I've got everything clear.

Could 'Menstrual Leave' Change the Workplace?
Francis, A. (2022, April 28). Could ‘menstrual leave’ change the workplace? BBC Worklife. https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20220426-could-menstrual-leave-change-the-workplace 
Tumblr media
Ali Francis writes: “Menstrual leave has existed in various forms around the world for at least a century: the Soviet Union introduced a national policy in 1922, Japan in 1947 and Indonesia in 1948. But it’s still rare in many large global economies, ... Now, however, a movement endorsing it is growing, as more and more companies around the world are starting to introduce the benefit. If widely introduced, women, transgender and non-binary workers who menstruate stand to gain: they would have direct pathways to rest when they need it most, be happier and more productive at work as a result and find it easier to remain in the labour market. Yet, since menstrual leave has entered the global zeitgeist, some of its critics have argued that the benefit is unfair, or that it could further stigmatise people with periods. Does menstrual leave help or hinder workers who struggle without the leave they feel they need?”
“Most women try to push through and go to work, anyway. This is often because they feel reluctant to disclose menstrual-related symptoms to their superiors, for fear of being perceived as weak or incapable of doing their jobs, says Gabrielle Golding, a senior lecturer at South Australia’s Adelaide Law School. Results from a 2021 survey from the Victorian Women’s Trust and Circle In, an HR software provider based in Melbourne, Australia, showed 70% of the 700 participants didn’t feel comfortable talking to their managers about how they could accommodate their menopausal symptoms (which often include heavy periods); 83% said their work was negatively affected as a result. And this tends to be ‘exacerbated in the absence of a menstrual leave scheme’, adds Golding – with dire knock-on effects, often prompting women to ignore their physical and mental health.”
“And although these policies might benefit the workers who decide to use them, corporate perks – like paid menstrual leave or the ability to work from home – are not afforded universally. Service workers with intense periods, who spend full days on their feet, are forced to choose between a day off and a pay cheque. Golding believes this inequality must be fixed systemically: ‘A right to paid menstrual leave, which is mandated in a broadly applicable statute, would mean that women from a vast array of socio-economic backgrounds would be afforded the opportunity to take leave.’”

Spain Plans Menstrual Leave in New Law for those with Severe Pain
Spain plans menstrual leave in new law for those with severe pain. (2022, May 12) BBC News. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61429022
BBC News writes: “A draft bill says women could have three days of leave a month - extended to five in some circumstances. But politicians warned that the draft - leaked to Spanish media outlets - was still being worked on. Three-day sick leave for painful periods will be allowed with a doctor's note, the draft says, potentially extending to five on a temporary basis for particularly intense or incapacitating pain. But it is not expected to apply to those who suffer mild discomfort. It is part of a wider approach of treating menstruation as a health condition, El País reports, which also includes the abolishing of VAT on some hygiene products - the so-called ‘tampon tax’ - and free hygiene products being made available at public centres such as schools and prisons.”

Hey it's me the person who tried to help did the Nobles.
I'm glad you like some of the ideas sorry that they're all weren't bangers or anyting. kind of hard to read it all is there more spaces or something but very interesting and I'm kind of curious about the relationship with them with Ingo
Sorry lol, I got a bit carried away and wanted to explain every single thing I could think of in one go. Thanks so much for your help by the way! Anyways, here are very brief explanations of each of their relationships with Ingo specifically!
---
Sergeant Obis Wyrdeer - Obis is mostly indifferent towards Ingo, but greatly respects his ideas and ingenuity despite his perceived youth.
-
Sir Sydney Kleavor - Sydney likes Ingo and even talks with him on a regular basis. He is completely unaware of Ingo being human.
-
Granny Crim Ursaluna - Granny Ursaluna knows Ingo is human and an adult, and she gets along very well with him. Because of his naturally loud voice, he's one of the few people she can talk with and understand in the first go.
-
Sona Ursaluna - Sona also knows Ingo is human and used to hate him at the beginning, but now just thinks he's weird. She's not a huge fan, but she doesn't exactly hate him anymore.
-
Lady Mira Lilligant - Mira thinks Ingo is an adorable but weird monster kid with really specific interests, but to each their own. His train infodumping is better than her mother's lecturing any day of the week.
-
Dr Coser Basculegion - Coser figured out on his own Ingo is a human adult, and the two of them mutually bond over both being adults often treated like children. It also helps that Coser loves listening to people infodump and Ingo likes and is good with Coser's kid.
-
Young Lord Cobult Arcanine - Cobult believes that Ingo is younger than him, but he regards Ingo as a wise older brother of sorts and really looks up to him. He personally feels as if he is basically a kid in an adult situation and Ingo is basically an adult in a kid situation. Cobult considers him and Ingo best friends.
-
Lady Coro Sneasler - Coro knows Ingo is an adult human, but has adopted him as her "definitely biological Monster son I swear he's been here the whole time you just weren't paying attention". She genuinely loves him very much.
-
Xir Renet Electrode - Renet knows Ingo is human, but they're not totally certain about his age (baby face and high-ish voice conflicting with gray hair). They don't really have the time to get to know him, but they think he's interesting.
-
Lord Labast Braviary - Ingo sometimes volunteers at one of his daycares, and the regulars that see him seem to really like him and he does a really good job, so Labast thinks he's responsible and nice. Never actually talked to him though.
-
Lord Alstor Avalugg - Alstor hates Ingo. He doesn't care if he's a kid. In fact, he hates kids. He wants nothing to do with Ingo and glares him down any time Ingo opens his mouth. Coro despises Alstor for this. Nobody really gets why he's so filled with hate, they suppose he's just Like That™.

Rien n’est intéressant si je ne suis pas intéressé(e). DIMANCHE 4 FÉVRIER
TOUJOURS APPRENDRE ET GRANDIR (2) « LA SAGESSE VAUT MIEUX QUE LES PERLES, AUCUN OBJET PRÉCIEUX N'A SA VALEUR » PROVERBES 8.11
Pour ce faire, il faut reconnaître les points suivants. 1) Les gens qui réussissent ont une approche positive de l'apprentissage. Josué a appris de Moïse. Timothée a appris de Paul. De qui ai-je choisi d’apprendre ? Sydney J. Harris a écrit : « Un gagnant sait combien il lui reste encore à apprendre, même lorsqu'il est considéré comme un expert. Un perdant veut être un expert avant d’avoir appris assez pour savoir à quel point il en sait peu. » Tout est une question d’attitude. Oui, il faut apprendre beaucoup avant de se rendre compte de son ignorance. 2) Rien n’est intéressant si je ne suis pas intéressé(e). Un auteur écrit : « On constate que les gens freinent inconsciemment leur croissance intellectuelle. Ils en viennent à s’appuyer sur des clichés et des habitudes. Une fois qu’ils atteignent la réussite sociale, ils arrêtent d’apprendre et leur esprit reste à jamais inactif. Ils peuvent mieux s’organiser, être ambitieux et enthousiastes, et même travailler nuit et jour. Mais ils n’en apprennent pas davantage. » La Bible dit : « Jésus croissait en sagesse, en stature et en grâce » (Lu 2.52). C’était plus qu’une croissance physique. Elle était spirituelle, mentale et émotionnelle. Se laisser entraîner dans une ornière et ne jamais en sortir est dramatique. On manque le meilleur de ce que Dieu peut offrir. En revanche, les gens enseignables sont complètement engagés dans la vie. Un rien les enthousiasme. Ils sont curieux de tout et ont soif de progrès. Alors ne cessez jamais d’apprendre et de grandir !

Physiotherapy Western Sydney
Tumblr media
The Physiotherapy program at Western Sydney University focuses strongly on the relationship between the therapist and the client. It will give you a thorough understanding of the technical aspects of your job, as well as a capacity to work successfully with patients and colleagues.
The course is very demanding, but it’s also really exciting. The faculty has a positive culture and lots of support for students, including PASS classes, which are peer to peer sessions. To know more about Physiotherapy Western Sydney, visit the MVP Rehab Physiotherapy website or call 0450603234.
Physiotherapy is a specialised branch of healthcare that provides treatment for a variety of physical concerns, including injuries and chronic pain. It promotes recovery and enhances mobility in the body, allowing patients to live healthy lives. Physiotherapy treatments include manual therapy, exercise therapy and electrotherapy. These techniques reduce pain, improve mobility and reduce inflammation. Physiotherapists are also trained to advise patients on injury prevention and self-management strategies.
Students will study four subjects a semester, and each subject usually has lectures, tutorials and practical classes. The fourth year of this course offers an Honours program that allows students to undertake clinical placements and complete an honours thesis that focuses on research.
Students who complete a bachelor of physiotherapy can pursue careers in the health sector, such as private practice, aged care, public and private hospitals, community-based agencies, rural healthcare providers, rehabilitation and chronic healthcare management, and sports clubs and sporting organisations. Many graduates go on to become involved in teaching or research.
Physiotherapy focuses on improving physical function and mobility, alleviating pain, and helping individuals with disabilities and injuries. It involves a range of techniques and tools, such as massage, exercise therapy, and manual treatment. It can help people of all ages, from athletes to those with chronic pain or neurological conditions.
During the degree, students will participate in hands-on clinical placements to gain practical experience. These placements will be outside of normal university semester and work hours, and may be in rural or metropolitan locations. Students will also practice hands-on physiotherapy examination and treatment techniques in mixed gender classes.
WSU’s four year Bachelor of Physiotherapy includes the Honours program, which is available to high achieving students. The Honours option enables students to become a research-focused physiotherapist without taking any additional years. The program starts in Year 3 and includes advanced research training and clinical placements. Students will write an honours thesis on a research project that addresses real physiotherapy problems.
Physiotherapy offers a holistic approach to health and helps patients restore their physical function and mobility. It also teaches patients about injury prevention and self-management techniques. This non-invasive treatment is safe and effective for a variety of medical conditions. Physiotherapy practitioners can help with a range of problems, including back pain and neck stiffness.
During the course of study, students are required to participate in clinical placements which can take place in metropolitan and rural areas. These placements are full time and may require travel outside of semester times. They are also required to attend practical classes which involve disrobing to shorts and a singlet or swimsuit equivalent, and participating in hands-on physiotherapy examination and treatment techniques on both male and female participants.
The physiotherapy inherent requirement statements were developed by the University of Western Sydney with input from a reference group that included the project leader of the IRONE initiative and the Head of Disability Services. These statements will provide clarity and transparency to prospective and continuing students, as well as disability services staff, about the nature of the physiotherapy program and its associated requirements.
MVP Rehab Physiotherapy is a valuable asset to the local community, helping individuals improve their physical health and well-being. Using a holistic approach, physiotherapy addresses a range of physical concerns and enables people to live active lives. Essentially Health is a leading provider of physiotherapy in the area, offering a comprehensive assessment and tailored treatment plan for each patient.
The study will recruit physiotherapy teams at five hospitals across the South Western Sydney Local Health District, which includes lower socioeconomic communities and services over one million people. Eligible clinical teams will be approached by the investigators at physiotherapy department meetings and via email, with consent to participate in the study. Patients will be randomly assigned to either the immediate-implementation group or the waitlist control group. All participant data will be recorded on encrypted Excel spreadsheets and stored on a password-protected drive at each hospital site, and shared securely with the research team. The study has been approved by the Southern Sydney Local Health District Human Research Ethics Committee (2019/ETH13622; 2019/STE17765).

The Future of Business Education
The future of business education is being shaped by Online MBA programs.

Timestamp #273: The Pilot
New Post has been published on https://esonetwork.com/timestamp-273-the-pilot/
Timestamp #273: The Pilot
Doctor Who: The Pilot (1 episode, s10e01, 2017)
A new companion gets an education.
An empty university office soon welcomes Nardole and a woman we will come to know as Bill. The TARDIS stands darkly in the corner of the office, apparently out of order, and photos of River Song and Susan decorate the desk alongside a small jar of sonic screwdrivers. The Doctor makes his entrance with an electric guitar before questioning Bill as to why she’d attend his lectures if she wasn’t a student. Bill tells a story about a girl and fries before asking about the TARDIS.
The Doctor deflects and redirects Bill to the question at hand. He notes that she tends to smile when she doesn’t understand something. She wonders what he actually lectures about. The Doctor offers to tutor her so long as she performs well.
The Doctor lectures about time as Bill works her job in the canteen, and she arrives at his tutoring sessions on time while scoring top marks. Bill’s foster mother Moira wonders about her relationship with the Doctor, but Bill replies under her breath that she’s not interested in men. To wit, she sparks a relationship with a woman in a bar who has a star pattern in her eyes.
One day, Bill follows the Doctor and Nardole to a secret underground chamber. She overhears the pair talking as they work on a large door, but after she knocks over some debris on the floor, she rushes back outside. She soon runs into Heather, the woman from the bar. Heather explains that the star is a defect in her iris but offers to show Bill something that’s bothering her. They sneak into a construction area where Heather shows Bill a puddle that hasn’t evaporated since the rain last week. When Bill looks into it, she notes that the reflection is somehow wrong. Heather walks away without much explanation as a voice inside the puddle proclaims that the pilot has been located.
Christmas eventually rolls around and the Doctor and Bill celebrate with a small gathering. She talks about her mother and wonders about photographs helping ease the pain of loss. Later on, she returns home and looks at some photographs of her mother. She spots the Doctor in one of them and is intrigued.
She sees some other strange things when the new term starts, including evidence that the TARDIS has moved. She finds Heather staring into the puddle but the woman disappears when Bill approaches. Sadly, Heather is trapped in the puddle and identified as the pilot.
Bill tells the Doctor about Heather and he rushes off like a “penguin with his ass on fire” to investigate it. The Doctor soon understands that the problem with their reflections is that they’re being shown the wrong way. Whatever is in the water is mimicking the observer. The Doctor also takes note of the scorch marks around the puddle and then sends Bill home. The puddle pursues, claiming to have found its passenger.
When Bill returns home, she assumes that Moira is in the shower, but a phone call proves that assumption wrong. When Bill investigates the running shower, she finds Heather’s starry eye staring back at her from the drain. Bill rushes back to the university to find the Doctor, but is confronted in the darkness by a sopping wet Heather. Heather is a bit freaky and Bill rushes to the Doctor’s office where he is analyzing a sample of the puddle. The puddle pursues and takes Heather’s shape once again.
The pair takes shelter in the TARDIS where the Doctor is pleased to show off his time capsule. Bill is astounded as most companions are, but she does proclaim that it resembles a kitchen. Nardole appears as the puddle attacks, forcing the Doctor to relocate the TARDIS to the underground vault. As the Doctor and Nardole analyze the vault for any breaches, Bill finally has her “bigger on the inside” moment.
The puddle eventually catches up to them so the trio takes flight to Sydney, Australia. The gravity of what’s happening finally catches up to Bill, and she starts asking the Doctor questions about his life and history. They’re interrupted when Heather catches up to them, so the Doctor takes the TARDIS off the planet and twenty-three million years into the future.
Bill is amazed as Nardole and the Doctor muse about the puddle. They presume that the puddle is a remnant from an alien craft that can take the shape of what it needs. It found Heather, someone who wanted to leave the world around her, and took her on board to leave the planet. The puddle catches up to them and nearly abducts Bill, and the Doctor takes his team to the most dangerous place in time and space. When they arrive, the Doctor tosses a classic sonic screwdriver to Nardole before rushing into a war zone in the past. Nardole tries to distract the Daleks, who are fighting the Movellans, as the Doctor and Bill try to escape the puddle.
Taking a slight detour to the Friend from the Future promo teaser, the Doctor and Bill run from the Daleks. Taking refuge behind a wall, Bill repeatedly questions the Doctor about the Daleks.
The Doctor finds a Dalek and has it scan his sonic screwdriver. It fires on the Doctor, but he dodges so the blast hits Heather. As the travelers run, Heather morphs into a Dalek but the Doctor is not tricked. He does wonder, however, why she didn’t shoot when she had a gun.
Bill realizes that Heather’s last conscious thought was to not leave without her. The pilot has been trying to fulfill that promise since Heather was killed. Bill releases Heather from the promise after briefly bonding with the pilot. The puddle retreats and the traveling trio returns to the TARDIS, though Bill notes that she is now partially connected with Heather.
Back in the university office, Bill regrets leaving Heather and the Doctor decides to wipe her memory in order to protect his undercover disguise while he guards the vault. Bill asks him to imagine what it would feel like if someone did the same to him and the memory of Clara forces him to send Bill away. The TARDIS and the pictures of River and Susan chide him, and he decides to meet Bill downstairs with the time capsule.
It’s a big universe, but maybe one day they’ll find Heather again. Until then it’s time for an adventure in time and space.
This episode’s title does double duty. The obvious meaning is in reference to Heather’s fate, but the other one is this story’s status as a perfect entry point for newcomers. The story tells the viewer everything they need to know about Doctor Who while easing them into the universe and a season-long story arc. Steven Moffat has compared this story (in that regard) to both An Unearthly Child and Rose. To a lesser degree, I’d also include The Eleventh Hour, Spearhead from Space, Terror of the Autons, and Remembrance of the Daleks.
Bill debuts here as a not-the-usual companion. Most companions are enraptured by the magic and fantasy of everything Time Lord, but Bill’s worldview pushes all of that to the backseat as she parses the new world around her. It’s quite refreshing.
We also get the mystery of the vault beneath the university. The Doctor and Nardole have apparently been guarding it for approximately 50 years. Since St. Luke’s University is in Bristol, the Doctor runs the risk of crossing his own timeline since Flatline also took place in Bristol. It’s also across the Bristol Channel – about an hour’s drive or so – from Cardiff, which means possible interactions with the Ninth Doctor, the Tenth Doctor, and Torchwood Three. I mean, none of those things will occur, but I’m honestly surprised that more inadvertent timeline interactions don’t happen given how much time the Doctor spends on the British Isles.
This episode marks the return of the Movellans to Doctor Who, which results in a neat timeline check with the Daleks. They don’t know that the Twelfth Doctor is their nemesis until they scan the sonic screwdriver because they only know about the current incarnation (the Fourth Doctor) who was involved in the Dalek-Movellan war shown in Destiny of the Daleks.
Overall, The Pilot fulfills its mission of serving both newbies and veterans with plenty of explanation and nods to the past interwoven with an engaging story and enjoyable actors. It serves well as a welcome back to the Twelfth Doctor after the complicated drama dance with Clara.
Rating: 5/5 – “Fantastic!”
UP NEXT – Doctor Who: Smile

I can’t wait to get back to my bench! My holiday has been great but I am missing my creative outlet. . I’m looking forward to the year ahead. I’ve just started a 4 month long mentored jewellery fabrication course with the amazing goldsmith @kentraible, and I’ll be continuing to build and improve my stone-setting skills as well. But my main goal for this year is to start stocking my pieces in at least one physical shop or gallery, so watch this space for updates! . I’m going to be busy, as I will be continuing my other jobs: Pattern making/cutting costumes for some of your favourite theatre productions, and lecturing in Pattern making/Cutting at @nidacommunity. . Stay tuned for updates!

Star Wars Day 2017 @ WSU | How a simple nerdy event became educational
Tumblr media
Star Wars Day has hit Western Sydney University and this year, the celebration of this Sci-Fi event has gone bigger as Western Sydney University Nerdfighters has partnered with Information Technology and Digital Services (ITDS) to create a bigger event than ever before. This year, both students and staff worked together to not only celebrate the film franchise but to also discuss on how Star Wars and the world of science fiction can help innovate the future and what we can learn from them.
Tumblr media
The event ran for the whole day, starting from 10AM at the EE Building and once you entered, you could see the hard work and effort both the Nerdfighters team and IT staff have made. There were two virtual reality booths, one to visually project an image of the Death Star and the other to do a VR Lightsaber training, an arts and crafts table, and other activities that attendees could participate.
Emma Del Dot, the club president of Nerdfighters states that “We’ve got interest from academics and students this time. Its really great and I’m really excited about it”
 The event was heavily advertised via the university’s social media in hopes to have plenty of staff and students to come over and celebrate this occasion. According to Jo Deeker (the strategic, planning and portfolio manager in IT) and Sarah Chaloner (the deputy chief information and digital officer), they both contacted the Nerdfighters to ask if they want to work together for this event after hearing that the club has something planned via Facebook.
Tumblr media
​​
“We were already planning something this year but we heard that the Nerdfighters were planning something at the same campus. So we contacted the Nerdfighters and asked if we can please work together to put the event on” said Sarah.
Isabella Bowdler came from UTS to attend the event after being told about it via her lecturer. She said “I thought I was going to be a bit bored because I’m not a huge Star Wars Fan, but I found the talks really interesting because they didn’t just talked about star wars. They talked about how it’s still relevant in modern day, and talked about sociology and stuff like that”.
Tumblr media
​​
“I think what science fiction does is that it paints the picture of the future, and the scientist and the engineers come together and go ‘ah, I know how that looks like, I’m gonna create it” Sarah Chaloner says.
“I think one of the biggest impacts that I’ve seen recently is from Star Trek and particularly the touch screen technology” Jo Deeker says. “In 1967, they were pushing buttons on the screen and it was completely unrealistic. And yet 10 years ago smartphones came out and it was amazing”
“Think about this, the things that you take for granted, every time you go through a sliding door, they have it in the shopping centres, and even in the university, that concept first introduced to the public in the original Star Trek series” Sarah Chaloner says. “Every time I go through a sliding door now, I make that noise in my head… and sometimes I make it out loud, because I remember watching on television thinking ‘That’s amazing, wouldn’t it be cool if you walked up the door and it just opens?’”.
The staff believes that its possible to make fun and learning co-exist and there is a lot that we can learn from science fictions and it’s possible to weave them in to the academic world. This event gave them the opportunity to tell their stories on how Science Fiction has influenced them in a huge way that it now intertwines to their academic field.
The key message that can be taken home from this event is that Science Fiction inspires people to innovate and create better things for the future. It can influence on what plan to do for the future and it can improve on how we see our world today and tomorrow.
“Science Fiction just provides the ideas. They just paints the picture on what the future might look like, or could look like, or should look like. And it’s our jobs as engineers, scientist, technicians, and artist to make that real” said Sarah Chaloner.
Star Wars Day in WSU was truly an amazing event I’m looking forward to see what Nerdfighters have install for the future.
