Hot pink background with two book covers, the yellow cover of Up The Duff, The Real Guide to Pregnancy and the lime green cover of Babies & Toddlers, by Kaz Cooke. (Me again.) The books are updated every couple of years. The book Kidwrangling and old copies of these books should be discarded, as they have old medical info in them. Up the Duff was first published in 1999. If you can't afford new copies, ask your public library to stock the latest reprint. I hereby give permission to photocopy and share the immunisation info!

Updated reprints of 'Up The Duff' and 'Babies & Toddlers' have all the fact-checked info you need about immunisation/vaccination in Australia, how to keep pregnant people & little folk safe, including info on diseases to protect against, the truth about risks, & the recommended times to have 'em.

As someone with autism, I’m tired
of hearing the same false “causes” over
and over Tylenol, vaccines, you name it.
#Autism isn’t a conspiracy or a mystery
to scare people about. If you want to
understand, start by listening to us.

The more modern design is because the original station building burnt down in 1951.

a photo of a small beige and white pup named Spud deviously eyeing a stalk of celery dangling in front of her. the stare is absolutely menacing.

Spud has now taken a few steps back and assumed a fighting position. she’s set in downward dog as she stares at her opponent (the celery)

our tiny puppy friend is now in attack mode, making her next attempt to take on his celery enemy. the outcome is unknown.

This is Spud. She was offered a stick of celery today and took personal offense to that. 12/10 (IG: spud.the.cryptid)

That’s weeing not weeding. I’m not American - no peeing here (ugh).

A black and tan cavalier King Charles spaniel with white fur on his chin and peppered through his fur. Stares unblinking at you demanding treats.

No you don’t get a treat for weeding on my newly rebuilt deck!

Oh dear apostrophe crime in there. Ack, it’s Friday.

@snichor.bsky.social love this

I’m so glad you’re contribution is recognised in this. I was worried you’d be erased. Now I can watch!

Had a moment today a bit like Kathy Bates in Fried Green Tomatoes. Pretty unhappy with myself for losing my cool (no i don’t hit anyone’s car) but I am sooo over being the middle aged woman people push around and then wonder why I get pissed off. makeagif.com/i/nCWnKi

fossil fuels are so funny

But also the media obsession makes me think of Lindy Chamberlain and Kathleen Folbigg. Could this latest cause macabre be the next great miscarriage of justice? A lot of similarities in the media treatment of the cases.

Just stop calling her the mushroom murderer. It trivialises the victims’ trauma, downgrades the offence and erases Erin Patterson’s identity.

My hero!

On a trip to NYC with mates, I changed all the screensavers on PCs and laptops in a computer shop to scrolling marquee 'fuck you, you fucking fuck' and set them to come on in an hour password protected. I never come across an unprotected computer in a shop after that.

Hiroshima: The Aftermath Writing in 1985, John Hersey follows up with the survivors he profiled in his 1946 piece “Hiroshima.”

And the 1985 follow up. (And it’s John Hersey, sorry for the misspelling). The Aftermath www.newyorker.com/magazine/198...

Hiroshima A hundred thousand people were killed by the atomic bomb. Survivors wonder why they lived when so many others died.

Hopefully not paywalled - John Hershey’s article from 1946, marking the 1st anniversary of the Hiroshima bomb. www.newyorker.com/magazine/194...

Still sing this. Was my favourite as a kid (in the rare times I was allowed to watch Sesame Street).

It turns out that this counting song is far more complex than it seems.
