Diplolaena grandiflora, a Western Australian native plant bringing me much joy in our garden.

Another fave in my native Australian garden. A sprawling hakea Burrendong beauty. The bees and birds go mad for it too.

Holy heck.

Brilliant piece

I knew it was bad but really didn’t appreciate it was quite this bad

No shade to the OP for admitting this, but it shocks me that people my age don’t know this.

You fundamentally cannot understand how the world functions, how power works, if you don’t know history.

My Favourite African Divas & Their Songs Enjoy!

This post is essentially a nostalgic look at the music of my younger youth. In it I celebrate the lives and music of Angélique Kidjo, Miriam Makeba, Cesária Évora, Letta Mbulu, Onyeka Onwenu and Yvonne Chaka Chaka.

Mary Wollstonecraft warned you that women who are only objects of pity and love, due to their “fascinating graces,” their “soft phrases, susceptibility of heart, [and] delicacy of sentiment” — in a word, due to their weakness (and not strength) — “will soon become objects of contempt.”

Men who favor the tradwife lifestyle often view the women in it with derision A new study reveals that young men who support the so-called tradwife movement are driven more by hostile sexism and resentment toward women than by a chivalrous desire to protect and provide for them.

Thrilled to find several blue-banded bees (Amegilla cingulata) in the garden this morning. This Australian native bee, 10–12 mm long, has a metallic, blue-striped black abdomen and golden-brown thorax. It is a "buzz pollinator" (for tomatoes etc) and lives in small, individual soil burrows.

This makes my heart hurt. But I am guessing the point is cruelty and punishment.

Or is it noughts?
