Here’s a tip for able-bodied folk. If you’re going to use the wheelchair accessible toilet, please for God sake lock the door. There’s nothing more distressing than thinking you found an available loo, only to open the door and find someone mid-poo.

Wool, people, wool. Remember this fibre? Australia used to run on the sheep’s back. Wool clothing is both durable and biodegradable. 🐑🐏🐑
According to the latest National Waste Report, the average Australian throws out about 11 kilograms of clothing each year. But what if some of that could be composted?

If you want to do something tangible and easy right now to fight rising neo-fascism, support your local library, borrow books, donate coffee money to Wikipedia, support local bookstores, readings and poetry events. Delete the apps, unsubscribe. These things make a difference.

Interesting video. Just need a few more EVs that support V2G and V2H.
Footnote though that the owner of the install obviously has a huge BYD battery in the background of shot, in addition to his V2G setup. All bases covered, I guess.

Shopping at West Lakes shopping centre yesterday. Went to get cash from Commonwealth Bank ATMs. Out of three ATMs, two showed messages that they were out of order, the third cancelled all withdrawal requests.

So proud of my partner this morning. Shopping at Coles for coffee to feed my dripolator machine. Coffee was marked down from $48 to $24 but it scanned at the higher price at the checkout. She invoked the Coles Promise on Price Scanning to get it for $0. #coles #supermarkets #CostOfLiving
