Carbonated water is slightly more acidic than still, so just be aware of your teeth and guts if you’re drinking heaps of it. Some people take issue with supporting an Israeli owned company, others don’t. There’s always other brands if that suits you, I know aldi does one called soda king that’s interchangeable with Sodastream.

With bonus suffering!

Pretty great so far. We went to the museum today and I picked up a Tesla’s Sphere from the gift shop “for the child”.

This is the reason that the request for Truth Telling is a fundamental part of the Uluru Statement from the Heart; we need to accept the ill effects of our past on the Aboriginal population, and recognise that colonisation is still happening. Racism has a lot to do with both of those things and it can’t be tiptoed around. Yes, it is difficult. Yes, it is absolutely necessary.

Leftovers of last night’s minestrone, it’s always better the next day

What a shock, genuinely one of the most influential Aboriginal artists in the world right now.

Ah yes, the famous Soviet era of the United States. How could I forget?

It was a US made Bell 212

Yeah cool, here’s one good thing we can do to make a positive change but fuck doing it because of the other, completely unrelated thing, right?

Looks like Miller’s Batman

Or if you’re up in the top end, there’s Nawarla Gabarnmung which dates to about 44kya. Some natural rock pillars in the shelter, others modified and others still constructed or relocated.

Could you use a command strip or something?

Why do you feel the need to defend mediocre artist who has demonstrated that he has a complete inability to learn and grow past his horrific behaviour? Hip Hop is littered with abusive, mysoginistic, violent arseholes and each one of them should be called out.

If you’re specifically worried about people talking about how Chris Brown is an abuser, but not Eminem, you can rest easy in the knowledge that he has justifiably been criticised for his behaviour for the entirety of his career. The difference is Eminem never swept any of it under the rug, nor did he shy away from speaking about his problems with drugs and mental health, and the harm he caused because of it, specifically to the women around him.

The same cannot be said for abusers like Bambaataa, his defender KRS, NAS, Dre, Puff Daddy, Chris Brown or any of the other countless motherfuckers who use their money and position within the hip hop community to avoid criticism and consequences for their abhorrent behaviour.

With community (specifically fruit & veg) gardens you need to be considerate of what pollutants could be in the soil, especially if the area is prone to flooding. Regrowing native bushland has no such concerns and has the added benefit of providing much needed habitat for native species AND the flood resilience that lawns actually counteract.

All of this land is perfect for rewilding, I hope it doesn’t just stay as gigantic, featureless lawnscape.

Yeah, but how do you propose I take my van to Fraser Island once a year to drive over turtle nests? That ute that I claim under tax because it’s for “business use only” is a necessity!

Hell, even Queensland

Or there’s Western Australia

I experienced this over several months some years ago. It was infrequent, but always when falling asleep- a loud bang like a gunshot or a bell directly behind my head. Interesting that they mention possible causes as stress and PTSD as it started occurring not long after I’d left an abusive relationship. Glad it didn’t stick around.
