So Australia has a yearly tradition going back over 20 years, that every Australia Day we all gather round our screens to watch an ad for a certain product. It's so ingrained in our consciousness that the ads don't even really relate to what they're supposed to sell anymore, we all just know.

This year the ad broke containment, and non-Australians are having their brains melted by this bizarre tradition, so international followers, lets see if you can work out what this is trying to sell before the last few seconds.

Okay, you need to make sure you play this game at some point. Maybe not today or anything, because you’ll need about thirty minutes and a serious willingness to understand how it works, but - it’s so worth it. It’s basically an answer to our occasional frustration - why do assholes always come out on top? - and the beautiful thing about it is that not only does it explain how that happens, but also how we can change it.

“In the short run, the game defines the players. But in the long run, it’s us players who define the game.”

Summer reading sorted 👍

Hello, I hope you're having a wonderful day. I very much enjoy you sharing your thoughts on dogs and dog ownership and I value your perspective. I was wondering if it was possible to ask you for book recommendations? Especially books about how to better understand your dog and dog behaviour. You are very passionate about dogs and you seem well read. If you don't have the time to answer this ask, I don't mind and I hope your week starts off great. c:

Hello! I love answering questions about dog books. Understanding dogs and dog behaviour is one of my favourite subjects and I have books that approach it from all angles.

For books that are about being able to observe and interpret dog body language, my top choices are Doggie Language by Lili Chin and Canine Body Language by Brenda Aloff. Both offer excellent visual examples, the former illustrated and the latter photographic, which really helps to understand what they are talking about.

If you’re after a book that helps you understand what dogs need and practical ways to achieve it, the best book is Canine Enrichment for the Real World by Allie Bender and Emily Strong. It’s a handbook on how to make your dog’s life more enriched.

For books about dog ethology, the scientific study of animal behaviour in natural conditions, which for dogs is living with humans, my top three are Meet Your Dog by Kim Brophey, Ethics and Ethology for a Happy Dog by Anders Hallgren and Making Dogs Happy by Dr Melissa Starling & Prof Paul McGreevy. Brophey’s book separates dogs into ten types which helps to understand them, while Hallgren and Starling & McGreevy talk directly about how to make the dog that lives with you lead a happy and fulfilling life.

For understanding dog history and how dogs got to be who they are and where they are, I highly recommend How the Dog Became the Dog by Mark Derr, A Dog in the Cave by Kay Frydenborg and my new favourite The Invention of the Modern Dog by Michael Worboys, Julie-Marie Strange & Neil Pemberton. All three discuss the history of dogs – Derr and Krydenborg about the origins of domestication and Worboys, Strange & Pemberton about the modern history of why dogs are now separated into breeds.

My final recommendations for understanding dogs is some of the memoir-style nonfiction books written by leaders in the industry. These books give incredibly valuable perspectives on dogs through the eyes of very skilled, knowledgeable and empathetic people. My favourite books in this category are Plenty in Life is Free by Kathy Sdao and The Other End of the Leash by Patricia McConnell, but I know other people love other famous titles like The Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson and Bones Would Rain from the Sky by Suzanne Clothier (I have not yet read either of these… I am a slow reader and my list is long).

Warning for next time, if anyone asks me about dog books I can write paragraphs…

this is really important so i’m posting it here because it’ll probably get removed and the original poster may be banned, but this is literal documentation and proof that terfs and transphobes are directly connected to the far-right and have roots in racism, homophobia, misogyny, and antisemitism. it really is all part of the same oppressive system, so there is no disconnecting transphobia from conservatism. there is no such thing as a progressive transphobe as much as they may want you to believe. it has nothing to do with biology or protecting women or children, none of it is founded in science or logic, it is purely hatred and and attempt to justify bigotry.
