We can’t call gas an environmental problem while bending over backwards and risking WTO disputes with major trading partners to make it cheaper.
If we’re serious about energy security and cost of living, the fix isn’t export bans it’s making it affordable to cut household and commercial gas use.

I wish wellness culture would look at sugar % like they did with the fat % panic of the 2000’s. Just looked at a block of chocolate that’s 45% cocoa and out of the remaining weight, it was just over 51% sugar!! 😳

Social media promotes people pleasing and transactional relationship patterns by rewarding these behaviors with dopamine.
This is particularly dangerous if you are prone to people pleasing and dopamine starved.
Be careful out there kids

I really hate seeing companies that price gouge people with disability offer special prices that are basically the RRP at any other shop all year round.

My support worker helped me finish off re-staining our outdoor furniture on the weekend.
It requires so much extra mental effort for me to initiate, I only got steps done with the support worker to assist me.
It has taken 8 months to get from start to finish.

It has taken me years to finally get to drinking matcha tea.
I have actually got a tea collection, but the brand that I buy tea from got so heavy with their matcha marketing that I am only just realising now that it put me off all of my flavoured teas.
Anyways, I’m catching up. Matcha is good.

BYD should be worried that the new Atto 1 and Atto 2 look sharper than the Dolphin and Atto 3. MG and Tesla prove that style drives perception, while Hyundai shows how silly design can sink a car. If BYD doesn’t facelift its older models, it risks being outclassed by cheaper rivals on looks alone.

Hello media please stop framing the autism/gut microbiome discourse around autism being a bad thing. Being autistic can be extremely challenging, absolutely, but that's because because society at large doesn't understand and isn't built for autistic people.

Not sure who thought it was a brilliant idea to build the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal next to the Luggage Point Waste Treatment Plant 🤢
Not to mention that the road to Brisbane has eyesores everywhere.
What an intro for people coming to Brisbane for the first time by ship.

The label "Profound autism" bungles the support needs of autistic people with complex disabilities, and will endanger autistic lives.

Instead of dreaming of a world without Autistic People, we must work toward a world that has space for all of us—a world that values support, understanding, and the rich tapestry of human experience that defines Neurodiversity.

Black autistic women grow up being told to “act right,” “speak properly,” “don’t draw attention.” Those lessons become masks. Survival scripts disguised as manners

The anti #EV arguments seem to be shifting from "Its not range anxiety" to, its lack of Infrastructure, so EV dont work.
while lack of DC fast chargers is issues, its being solved. They also forget that most EV owners dont need fast charger, as most charge at home. Every petrol car needs a servo!

I haven’t done much gardening this year, but in the last week I have burned a section the lawn that was all weeds using a heat gun and then stripped it back to soil so it is ready for aerating and planting new turf.
Very fulfilling, but I’m not ready to start another section until I have the turf.

Past classic that deserves the electric update: Buick Electra Grand National
The current EV era is ripe with revered classic car designs and iconic nameplates that are being reborn as battery-powered rides – and the success of cars the Renault 5 proves it can be a winning formula. Today, I’m suggesting another 1980s classic that deserves a modern electric update: the Buick Grand National.
