Jackie Clark @whaeapower.bsky.social · 25/04/2025Turning the Wi-Fi off at my phone worked, connected instantly. I just don’t get it. This is only in the last 24 hours. It wouldn’t usually irritate me this much, but I have to use countdown to do the shopping list for the women when they need them. 120
Jackie Clark @whaeapower.bsky.social · 25/04/2025Well, what do you know. That worked. So confusing. I’ll ring their IT people tomorrow and figure something out. It seems very strange to me. 110
Jackie Clark @whaeapower.bsky.social · 25/04/2025I’ve restarted all the devices, I’ve done all that. It just keeps on doing it, and I don’t really know what to do about it. 020
Jackie Clark @whaeapower.bsky.social · 25/04/2025I’m not using the app, just the website itself. It’s a worry just because I use these for when the women need shopping lists done. 110
Jackie Clark @whaeapower.bsky.social · 25/04/2025I’m so confused. I haven’t been able to access the Woolworths website since yesterday? I’ve tried every browser,. On my phone, iPad, laptop. It just comes up with access denied every time. What the hell. 550

Jackie Clark @whaeapower.bsky.social · 23/04/2025If you’re against all this anti trans bullshit, you need to speak out. Do it for the kids. So many trans kids frightened right now. Some of them will have loving families, some will not. I think they need to hear your voices. I think that’s important. Just a challenge x 0113
Jackie Clark @whaeapower.bsky.social · 17/04/2025I think probably around five or so years ago, I started thinking how ridiculous it is that a baby comes out of the womb, and its entire life is then predicated on its genitals, essentially. It’s just creepy and weird and yet we all carry on as if it’s a completely normal thing to do. 2301
Jackie Clark @whaeapower.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Right? I’d never watched it before and I’m sure as shit not watching it again. 030
Jackie Clark @whaeapower.bsky.social · 15/04/2025It was absolutely awful. And as somebody who works in the field, I found it really unsafe and actually dangerous. They’re using this shit for entertainment. 152
Jackie Clark @whaeapower.bsky.social · 15/04/2025I would hope so. What he did to that woman is unforgivable, produces kept making her stay there for fucks sake. 130
Jackie Clark @whaeapower.bsky.social · 15/04/2025I started watching MAFS + stopped when I saw abusive behaviours producers were allowing. Today, one of the women told me that she’s been watching it with her teen girl, and they sit and discuss the abusive behaviours, what to look out for, red flags etc. Adrian? Her words: that was DV 101. 2240
Jackie Clark @whaeapower.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Lefties, libs. And whatever the equivalent is for ppl politically opp to that. Hate those terms. All of them. Just use Fascists And Humanists. A bit binary? I guess those who swim in the “reasonable” middle might have to start taking a bit more of a position eh. 070
Jackie Clark @whaeapower.bsky.social · 10/04/2025FYI 1737 is realistically not for ppl who are experiencing anything other than mild anxiety/depression etc. I made the mistake of ringing them for someone else ONCE. And glommed onto what it was, immediately. 140
