Make something a little bit better today.
For yourself, or someone else.
I am going to have a bit of clean up in the kitchen so any Christmas visitors feel comfortable hanging out there for coffee.

I finally found someone with an A3 printer to get my toilet hole template done.
With a good tailwind I may be pooping indoors by the end of January.
LUXURY!

Part of me is looking forward to finishing the cabin and never building anything again.
Unfortunately there is another part of me that has been collecting ideas for an artist studio.

That licorice was really tasty and I really shouldn’t have eaten it all.
In unrelated news I will probably be staying close to the bathroom tomorrow…

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

There is a lovely irony that the suns longest day of my year is dark, barrelling thunder rills across the sky and rain drenches

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

and I still have to ask: would you ever do the same for the 20,000 children murdered in Gaza? “Oh there’s too many,” people say to me when I ask. “The smaller scale and it happening at home makes it easier to relate to.” That’s not not, and you know it.

I was 10 or 11yo when the IRA hunger strikes happened, too young to properly follow events.
Reading about it now for insight on Palestine Action hunger strikes it strikes me the news blackout is not because Palestine Action is proscribed, but because they know it will have public sympathy.

Albo just got booed at the memorial for the victims of the Bondi Beach shooting.
I immediately felt sick.
I’m also angry that this tragedy has been so politicised.
Albo is not to blame. The Labor government is not to blame.
Hateful extremists ARE to blame.
We need unity. Not more hate.

I’m deeply disturbed that the Bondi Beach tragedy is being utilised by dark forces to alter Australia for the worse, twisting words & actions.
I thought it might be useful to own the word “ woke, make it Australian & define it to help defend who most of us are.
Thus #Waussie - a woke Aussie.
