Kyle and Jackie O re-traumatise a child rape victim on air. (with audio and transcript)
Kyle Sandilands, you’re not just a prat, you’re an abusive douchebag. I have a feeling Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O are going to be getting accolades on the “sensitive” way in which they handled this segment. Kyle and Jackie run a radio show on 2Day FM. They include a segment called “Lie Detector”. They accepted [...]

Friday Hoyden/Youtube OTD: One way to have a really fun wedding
Now this is perhaps the most Hoydenish wedding video I have ever seen. Why not choreograph your processional (if your friends are up for it)! This should bring a grin to the face of all bar the grimmest misanthrope. The enthusiasm, the sense of fun and sheer joie de vivre emanating from this couple and [...]
Days off
Am I stretching a point weirdly when thinking about applying some of the principles of radical disability acceptance outside of its remit? I’m talking about my kid and (relatively) minor illnesses and injuries. This afternoon he took a pretty awful stack on the bitumen, with two well-scraped knees and one knee with a mild to [...]

Scooterblogging: I’m Right Here

We were chatting about life, and he was resting his hand on my armrest, which helps stop him getting his feet tangled under my wheels. A woman [...]
SchoolHolidayBlogging: SCIENCE!
Oh, I luff him. And I luff his sense of wonder, of infinite possibilities. The Lad, age six, has just hatched one of these Growing Lizard Egg Pets, which he bought with five dollars of his pocket money on an outing at the Gingin Gravity Discovery Centre. We submerged it in a bowl of water, [...]
