One of those captcha things. This one says ‘select all images with bicycles. Click verify once there are none left’. There are 9 squares  - 4 contain photos of bicycle seats, with the remaining 5 showing the beautiful head and face of a grey greyhound with a white stripe going from the top of their head to the tip of their nose.

Hats off to whoever did this (and the beautiful model).

A photo taken from inside Perth Stadium, waiting for the cricket to start. The seating is a bit to the left of behind the bowler’s arm.

I’m in! #Ashes

A photo taken outside Perth Stadium. It shows a large crowd of people queued up to enter. The stadium is on the left and a blue sky in the background.

Am waiting outside Perth Stadium for the cricket and confirm the crowd is already huge. Biggest cricket crowd I’ve ever seen here (including sold out big bash finals etc). #Ashes

We’ve got info on what’s on offer at over a third of WA’s polling places, but that still leaves a lot of mysteries to solve!

If you’re at a booth with a grey question mark on democracysausage.org tomorrow, click on it to send a tip-off about what you find: bbq, cake stall, or even nothing at all!

T-Rex: Okay, so you know how some people talk about falling in love at first sight? About how when you meet the right person, you'll Just Know and it's like lightning??
T-Rex: I THINK I JUST EXPERIENCED THAT.

T-Rex: But in REVERSE!! T-Rex: I met a guy at a wedding and OH BROTHER, did this guy grate on me! I didn't like what he said, and I didn't like how he said it! Even his CADENCE was irritating. His CADENCE, Dromiceiomimus!!
Dromiceiomimus: Oh my gosh, you met your Reverse Soul Mate?
T-Rex: I - I think I DID! Utahraptor: So what now? What's the next step?
T-Rex: To NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN.

T-Rex: I assume he found ME as irritating as I found him. You know that wonderful feeling of excitement and anticipation you get when you look forward to a day off at the water park? I get that feeling when I look forward to NOT seeing this stupid guy EVER AGAIN in my ENTIRE LIFE. Woooo! I CAN'T WAIT! T-Rex: Every moment of my life when he's not around is now suddenly BETTER, thanks to the knowledge that this guy's not in 'em!
Off panel: It sounds you have a problem.
T-Rex: I don't think so; I love being alive??
T-Rex: And NOT near that guy??

based on a real guy?? i met him twice and he has been enriching my life ever since??

Matt Gaetz at the Barbie premiere. He's wearing a pink sport coat with black skinny jeans and black monk-strap shoes. Matt Walsh at the premiere of "What is a Woman?" He's wearing a small blue sport coat, grey t-shirt, black skinny jeans, and tan derbies.

In the last 30 years, skinny jeans have moved from "womenswear" to "androgynous" to "hip guy" to "passé." As I've said, it's ironic that some of the most critical voices in today's gender wars are wearing a cut that was once seen as a sign of declining masculinity in the West.

A batsman by any other name Why language matters in sport

Today in my newsletter I'm exploring the importance of language in sport and wading into the battlefield of the "gentlemen's game" of cricket to take a look at why the language we use across both men's and women's cricket matters

This is more stable than I thought so... I'll still write a proper series of posts about it tomorrow but feel free to mess around with it.

I’m only part way through but had to take a little rest after the 62nd of 200 pics; after the fruit bat floor mosaic, which is brilliant, and the golden retriever ceiling fan which … needs a Matt Berry narration.

A group of adults and children are huddled together standing under a basketball ring, backs to the camera. In the background are plants, a blue sky with some clouds, and a climbing wall with a painted tree on it.

Scenes from the family game of backyard cricket: play is interrupted while security camera footage is reviewed to allow 3rd umpire adjudication of an LBW call 🏏

Learning CPR on manikins without breasts puts women’s lives at risk, study finds Analysis of training models on global market found all had flat torsos with just one having a breast overlay

Kudos to @inquisitivegyn.bsky.social and team on the framing of this important finding! It is an equity issue. Let's now look at how and when we train medical/health students to examine people with breasts!

Going to gently suggest that a No3 who wants a nightwatchman with 20+ minutes to go and then leaves a ball hitting the stumps in the final over is not in the state of mind to play the next Test. #AusvInd

A photo taken from inside Perth Stadium. At the bottom of the photo test cricket is taking place. At the top of the photo, above 5 levels of Perth Stadium and right at the top of the shade sails that encircle the ground stand two commentators in between some of the many lights. There are also flags nearby. It is very high, you can only just see the commentators.

Took this pic earlier of the ABC commentators calling play from up the top of Perth Stadium (just to the right of the flags) #AUSvIND

What a magnificent day 1 of test cricket! Looking forward to tomorrow #AUSvIND My hot take is: at this point Australia may as well take all the streaky runs we can get rather than a disciplined 1 (42).

A landscape photo taken from inside Perth stadium. Assorted people are scattered around the ground as is usual before play starts. It is sunny with some fluffy clouds.

Time for the first test of the summer! #AUSvIND

Are Sea Sponges Safe to Use as Natural Tampons? Ask Dr. Jen

I subscribe to @drjengunter.bsky.social’s newsletter, the Vajenda, because she answers questions.

As a marine biologist, I was able to answer this question myself.

The answer is FUCK NO. WHAT THE FUCK. OH MY FUCKING GOD. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THOSE THINGS ARE.
