Phoenix's Evans-Churchill neighborhood would like to remind all bottoms they are welcome!

 

This isn't a gay bar, but it has a funny sign.

I'd started a thread on an Australian TV documentary show in the TV thread, but rather than revive it this seems like a better place to post about it.

 

Courtney Act is an Australian drag queen who I'd never heard of, but she featured in the local TV coverage of Mardi Gras earlier this month. I was surprised that tonight's episode of Australian Story was about her, well her and Shane Jenek, the man behind the mask. His parents are in the show and are enthusiastic fans of his work. Well worth a watch.

Happy birthday to Lawrence Ferlinghetti. He’s 101 years of age today.

Well, it's now 2.05am in eastern Australia for the second time this morning. For the next 25 minutes, Adelaide and the rest of South Australia will be 30 minutes ahead of us.

Random thought: Would douching with tea or infused waters be just as good or better than plain water?

Count me in as one who did. Thrilling!

I love how the bios of some Grindr guys address a certain subset/group of gays and add “to the front of line.” As if there’s really a line of people waiting to get into their pants.

No Line...get real....

Way to go, Canada Post.

Thanks for sticking PSY in my head today.

Have you accepted the 'gold fish 1.5 seconds memory' idea? If so this conversation will derail that impression. I often tune out of these daily one-hour conversations but didn't today. Here, in a 50 minute podcast a marine biologist talks about fish and their intelligence.

https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/conversations/culum-brown/12236632

Among other things he talks about fish that learnt how to evade an obstacle over a short period (they took a while to get it) but when presented with the same obstacle months later remembered how to evade it, fish that when presented with a mirror realised that what they saw was a reflection of themselves, not another fish, and manta rays that knew that on weekends recreational fishers would clean the fish they had caught at boat launching ramps so they would turn up to eat the fish guts and scraps that the fishers were throwing away.

 

A Port Jackson shark latching onto a research student's head for 30 minutes has to be a highlight.

The City of Phoenix has temporarily modified the city seal when used in social media and promoting the new mask ordinance:

A strong cold front went through these parts over the last couple of days, hence the third photo in this tweet. Portland is about 250km north of here, and 150km west of Sydney, at about 1000m elevation.

Client (who is a dentist) in the throes of passion: I’d do your dental work for free!

 

Side note: just learned that “D.M.D.” is a thing, along with D.D.S.

Had a coworker that wanted to be referred to as the dog lady. I said, "you know there is another name for that..." Needless to say I got chastised for implying something. Even though the word bitch never left my mouth....

I think this qualifies as random. When cicadas are infected by the hallucinogenic Massospora cicadina fungus, they turn into rampant sex addicts who mate until their genitals fall off.
