Hey Crim, I can't sleep, so I thought I'd come to you blog for a bit :) may I ask what your favourite scenes in tog are?

all. all of them

well i know i have a (very obvious) inclination towards joenicky. the van scene: very fucking tender. the lab malta/bedhead scene: extremely cute. the keane fight: iconique™ but if i had to pick favorite-favorite scene they would probably be the group ones. the baklava scene, the dinner scene, the kill floor, the train scene, etc

the baklava scene is So Good. ppl sometimes give tog shit for too much exposition dump (fuck man, its got 7000 + 1000 + 1000 + ?000 +200 years of history to cover. theres a lot of shit nile/the audience needs to know) but the baklava scene does So Much characterization work with barely any dialogue. the reunion between booker and andy, the gift, the playful ribbing. the way they establish andy's dislike of being photographed to peak the audience's interest. joe and nicky's reunion with andy (how they differ from booker's! how they differ from each other! nicky's silent hug vs. joe's playful one vs. booker's distanced jokes and questions!) the camaraderie & fondness that the inside joke of the baklava bet establishes between them, and the way you can see them communicate without words. <3

the dinner scene, you learn So much abt the characters. yes its a shitton of exposition but its all so good. nile's curiosity, the slow reveal of the ages youre working with (booker is 200 years old -> nicky is older -> joe is as old as nicky -> andy is the oldest) the way they work off of each other when they explain everything to her as they eat, the domesticity of the meal and the safehouse, the way the table is round but the shots make it feel like andy is at the head

the way it transitions to them sleeping and you see joenicky, booker, and nile all crammed together in a corner while andy keeps watch. loooooook someone even got nile a toothbrush 😭

the kill floor! swords! axes! sexy military armor/equipment! look at them cosplaying the beatles together <3

again people give tog shit for too much info dumping but the kill floor shows without any words how well the squad works together and moves together, watching each character take out their respective bad guys in their own ways (booker and his lil combat roll and his rifle, nicky and joe fighting together, andy with her axe and brutal efficiency) and its a beautiful scene & set and the action is [chefs kiss] and the hits all feel so brutal and real. lov it.

and the train scene! its a bit short in comparison to the others, but if you learn about the squad from the way they fight you really learn about them from the way they argue. their immediate reactions to learning about nile (andy's done, booker's wary, joe is protective, and nicky is empathetic) how they all argue about the best way to move forward but eventually agree after nicky makes his point (and how they all listen when andy tells them what they'll all do) and how the point nicky makes is 'we all need each other so that means she needs us too' and how nobody can argue with that BC THEY ALL WUV EACH OTHER VERY MUCH ❤❤❤💕💞💖💗🥰

Emo Andi

A prison uniform protestor

Glow in the dark dancer Andi from the first party

A gnome with a rice necklace wearing a shirt that’s painted in the words “I wuv u” like the presents Jonah have to Andi

Walker’s rainbow shoes as humans (find some white shoes/sneakers to paint in his rainbow design, and wear as many rainbows from top to bottom in tops and bottoms as you can)

Jonah as a singer. Just grab a guitar and put on a casual dark top and jacket and jeans. Try to ask your friends before you serenade them w/ a ballad abt how they don’t actually feel tho

A giant vest to wear and a diy cardboard golf cart to drive your boyfriend in

Those toe shaped Crocs and a track uniform to match Marty’s style

Andi, Cyrus, Jonah and Walker in the hooded secret society costumes revealing to Buffy it was all a fluke

Summer Salt

Andi Mack 2x15 review

I finally had time to watch Better to Have Wuvved and Wost and I thought it was a mostly good episode but I realized something about the way Cyrus is written that gives me pause about the rest of the season.

First off though, the episode had a really great energy, it felt less like a Disney show and more like a teen dramedy and I give the credit to that to Kenny Ortega. I hope he can come back and direct again in S3.

Great acting all around, I really liked how Jonah was talking exactly like a teenage boy would, his ‘I got the urge or whatever to get you a gift’, rang true to me in a way that the kid dialogue often doesn’t. And Sofia continues to nail it with emotional scenes.

It was good to have an episode (and next one) focusing on the GHC friendship, it was definitely needed.

We got a bit of a timeline for the GHC, they’ve been friends at least since they were 6. Love them smack talking Cece’s strict play date ways. If she was that strict with Bex it’s no surprise that ended up rebelling.

Loved Buffy’s mom, she already feels like she’s always been there in a good way. I’m not surprised that her and Celia get along well; I’d bet that Celia sees Pat as the daughter she wishes Bex has been. It’s rare on kids show to see two unrelated adults have scenes together but it really adds depth to the show’s universe.

I liked the contrast between Bex and Pat. Bex is still a teenager in some ways and that shows in her scenes with Amber (the idea that a makeover would solve Amber’s issues is something a teenager would come up with, not a grown woman). Given her looks and the fact that she’s active duty military, Pat can’t be very much more than 5 years older than Bex but we can implicitly see the difference that not getting pregnant as a teen makes.

I liked that Amber doesn’t want to be the mean girl and that the show is telling us that being the bad kid is lonely and unfun.

Also the message that too much make up makes you look like a bad person sounds like an awful one to send to an audience of mostly young girls.

Obviously Buffy isn’t leaving so it’s nice that the show is giving a 10 day deadline before the inevitable solution happens that allows Buffy to stay for good with her mother in Shadyside.

Roughly 2 months left in the school year puts us at late April/early May which matches with the timeline so far. They definitely need to jump ahead to late September in S3 though, the characters need time to adjust to all these changes.

Poor Jonah, he’s trying his best but this kid really needs to be single for a long time. I found it odd really odd that Andi held his hand and the show really needs to stop having her give Jonah these boundary setting speeches only to have Andi immediately break her own rules. They’re explicitly making this a love triangle between Andi, Jonah, and Walker so good on them for putting it all on the table I guess but I really wish they would do something else.

Jonah’s first gift was actually charming in my opinion.

Cyrus snatching and stomping the necklace is wildly out of character, it would have made more sense if Buffy had done it but they clearly needed to give Cyrus more scenes.

A lot of the 2b promos were from 2x15 and 2x16 and they all seem to be just as they seemed in the promos.

It hit me after watching the episode that Cyrus gets the screen time of a main character but not the story lines of one. He’s on screen lots but he doesn’t have much to do. Andi and Buffy each have well developed strengths, flaws, hobbies, and interests as well as their own love interests and antagonists. Andi needs to be well developed as she’s the title character but you could also make a show called Buffy Driscoll based off of her story lines so far. You could not make a show called Cyrus Goodman; there just simply isn’t enough there.

And the show plays a neat trick this episode where the focus almost immediately shifts to Buffy’s imminent move and nothing is mentioned of Cyrus coming out to Andi just hours ago in show time. There’s no way that Andi and Cyrus and Buffy wouldn’t at least acknowledge it. Andi must have so many questions: when did Cyrus realize he was gay? When did he fall for Jonah? When did he tell Buffy? Is that why he broke up with Iris? The writers talk a big game about the importance of momentum but that clearly only applies to the het characters.

It’s the writer’s fault that Cyrus is undeveloped and Disney’s fault that the one story line they give him is being stalled. Cyrus is the 2nd face we see in the opening credits and I wonder if the lack of character development for him and the slow walking of his sexuality isn’t affecting the ratings to an extent. The writers need to treat Cyrus like they do Andi and Buffy in season 3. Give him a season long arc about entering a film competition or directing the school play, give him a rival who he needs to overcome, give him a love interest, explore his strengths and flaws. Just do something with him.

Caring for New Mothers Shouldn’t Stop at Six Weeks, According To Author + Co-Founder of Mama Goodness, Jessica Prescott

Family

What I would have given for a Jess Prescott after I gave birth to my first baby. And my second. And right now, for that matter, as I tow my 3 + 5 year old to daycare and rush to work, only to rush back two hours later with reports of a snotty nose. Then home to the impossible task of working while parenting as my “sick” child climbs mountains of folding yelling for snacks. Infinite, eternal snacks.

Jess says postpartum is forever. And maybe that’s a healthy way to look at things. Because rates of postpartum depression are at an all-time high. Daycare fees are inordinate. And a third of mothers describe their birth as traumatic. There’s immense pressure to look incredible, have meaningful careers and “hold space” for our kid’s tsunami of emotion. All on Very. Little. Sleep.

We need all the support we can get. At a policy level, in the workplace, at home, in life. Jess provides that support through Mama Goodness. And teaches us how to ask for it.

Ashe Davenport: There’s pressure on birthing people to “snap back” after the baby arrives, physically, emotionally, socially, etc. How much do you hate that on a scale of 1-100?

Jess Prescott: I don’t ‘hate’ it per se, but I am deeply saddened by it as it is detrimental to the mental and physical health of birthing people, which trickles down to their children, their community, and society at large. Nothing is the same after birth. How can they be when we have gone through one of the most monumental transitions we will ever go through as humans? To grow and birth a baby is a massive undertaking that requires deep rest in the days, weeks and months that follow. Birthing people need to be physically and emotionally nourished, and given the time and space to bond with the living, breathing piece of themselves they have brought into the world. And not worry about whether or not their jeans fit.

My Maternal and Child Health Nurse was most interested in weighing grams and ticking boxes. And my Parents’ Group was grim. What do you think is missing from the standard support systems available to new parents?

Compassion. Help. FOOD. Raising little humans is just so hard, and even with the best supports in place, sleep deprivation can make the strongest of people unravel. There needs to be more acknowledgment of this, and the narrative needs to shift so that people feel safe admitting they aren’t coping. We need to normalise the challenges that parents of small humans go through, so that others know how to help, and so that help becomes the norm and not the thing we seek out only when we are at rock bottom.

It also truly baffles me that support tends to only last for 6 or so weeks, and anything beyond that is considered indulgent. After the meal train runs out and the doula and midwife visits stop, we are left on our own with a tiny baby and sometimes multiple other children. Most babies are still waking multiple times in the night and we are unable to put them down in the day time, not even to shower or fix ourselves something to eat. Time after time, I’ve seen new mums struggle with this as I bid them farewell at my final Postpartum Doula visit. There is a sense of bewilderment as they wonder how they will survive the days alone after feeding their hungry little babies all night now that partners have gone back to work and all paid support has come to a bittersweet end. Society needs to change its view of mothers so that they are shown the reverence they deserve, rather than being cast aside until they are able to rejoin the workforce.

I notice a lot of people’s eyes glaze over when I talk about motherhood. Either that or they’re completely horrified. How do you respond to that?

Haha oh the eye glaze. I mean, I get it. They have different interests to me and that’s ok. I’m not sure I was overly excited about the children of strangers before I was a mother myself. Now I understand that to most people, our children are an extension of ourselves, and when people pay attention to our kids or our boring stories about our kids, it is deeply validating. People who GET that are very special.

As for the horror, well, I remind them that the love outweighs it all. It really does. It doesn’t make sense until you know that love yourself, but it does. Motherhood is the most deeply humbling journey I have ever been on, and it has added a depth to my character that I am grateful for, even on the hardest of days.

Social media: friend or sadist to a vulnerable parent craving connection/visibility?

Both! We are very lucky to have access to so much information and connection at our fingertips and I know I’m not alone when I say that Instagram made the endless hours of breastfeeding more bearable. But it is up to us to curate our feed. If someone makes us feel yuck, either unfollow or mute them. We owe no explanation to anyone except ourselves.

I burned with shame at the thought of someone knowing I wasn’t coping. What would you say to that new parent who desperately needs help, but refuses to admit it?

Oh gosh, I wish you could see how hard it is for everyone, that you are not alone in your struggles and that even that ‘perfect mum’ to whom everything comes effortlessly is struggling. Everyone is struggling in their own way, even non-parents. It’s ok to need help. It’s normal to need help. How this help looks will be different for everyone but you are not alone. It is FUCKING HARD to raise a family. It’s not something we were ever supposed to do alone, so to feel like you need help means there is something RIGHT with you, not something wrong.

I also want to add that postpartum depression is most commonly diagnosed when the firstborn child is 4 years old – regardless of whether subsequent children are born. Keep checking in on your friends, people. Especially the strong ones and even when their babies aren’t babies anymore.

How do you hope a new mum feels after a delivery from Mama Goodness?

Loved. Seen. Relieved. Overjoyed. Like a giant weight has been lifted off their shoulders. That they can rest easy knowing that meals and snacks are taken care of for the next few days, and that everything they consume will be bringing them maximum nutrition. Like they are a part of our village.

What’s the last miniature joy you experienced?

Oh, they are all around me! This morning when Andy handed me my coffee. Every morning when Jude says ‘you have a good sweep mama?’ as he wraps his little body around mine. Or when he grabs my face and says ‘I wuv you so much’ followed by ‘I wuv your hair’.

How should people support new mums when they are visiting – What are the visitor ‘do’s and don’ts’ for 0-6 weeks postpartum?

Don’t expect to visit in the first couple of weeks. It is such a tender and raw time, most people have no idea what day or time it is and are still bonding with their baby and learning to breastfeed. If you are lucky enough to receive an invite over, bring food. Send a message when you’re on your way, reminding them that they don’t need to tidy before you come, and asking if they need anything. Even if they say no, ALWAYS BRING FOOD. Only stay for a maximum of an hour and make sure you wash your hands but don’t for one minute expect to hold the baby, unless they ask you to so that they can shower/go to the bathroom/play with their toddler/nap. Make them a tea and wash any dishes in the sink while you are at it. Ask how you can help. Give heaps of attention to their other children. Don’t be late, they probably have naps and midwife visits scheduled around your visit.

And 6+ weeks postpartum?

Again, food. Don’t expect that because the birthing person is past that 6 week mark they are miraculously able to resume their old life. Getting out of the house with a small child is a full time job. Offer to go to them, unless they are desperate for an outing in which case, invite them over and send them home with food. Tell them how amazing and beautiful they are, tell them you are in awe of them, and ask them how they are TRULY doing.

Did I mention you should always give a person with a new baby FOOD??!! Even when they have a 6 or 9 month old, they need food!

What food should we bring to a friend who has just had a baby?

Anything that’s easy to digest, can be eaten with one hand and can be frozen if their fridge is full already (lucky them!). Think soups, stews, lasagna, cottage pie etc. To me, a perfect food hamper contains a lasagna, a soup, a loaf of bread, something sweet such as chocolate or cookies, and tea. Of course you can always just order a pack from Mama Goodness. But seriously, even a pie from your local bakery will be appreciated. New mums are HUNGRY!

FAMILY FAVOURITES

Family cafe

It’s not really a café, but a small Turkish bakery that my family frequents – Tammy’s at the Preston market. Tammy is the loveliest person and she is vegan which means there are endless vegan options as well as non-vegan options. The mushroom and cheese borek is heaven and if you are lucky enough to visit on a day when Tammy has made dolmas, you are in for a treat. I love it so much. There are so many great cafes in Melbourne but none of them feel like home the way Tammy’s does.

‘Me time’ activity?

Pilates, baby!

Sunday morning breakfast ritual?

Sunday mornings are just as chaotic as the rest of the week as the boys still want brekky at 6am which is way too early for me to eat. But on a good week, I make sourdough on Saturday which I then bake first thing Sunday morning. By the time it’s ready to eat, the boys are ready for their second breakfast and we sit together and eat endless slices. They call it ‘mama bread’. It’s really special.

Weekend getaway?

Anglesea used to be our go-to because my in-laws had a house there. They recently sold, which is bittersweet because we truly love that part of Victoria, but it means we are being forced to explore other pockets of regional Victoria. I have to say, I am yet to be disappointed, we are really very lucky here and manage to find yum food and good op shops wherever we go.

Head to Mama Goodness to book one of Jess’s postpartum doula or food services. And you can check out her brilliant cookbooks, Vegan One-Pot Wonders, Vegan Goodness & Vegan Goodness: Feasts

Need support with perinatal anxiety and depression? You’re not alone. This is a serious illness that affects up to one in five expecting or new mums and one in ten expecting or new dads. PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia) is a great resource for women, men and families who need help – click here to find out more.
