I have fallen in mad love with BATS. I am not alone. - UPDATE

Come into the garden, Maud, 

For the black bat, night, has flown,

Come into the garden, Maud,

I am here at the gate alone...

- from Maud by Alfred Lord Tennyson

Bats are very important to Agriculture especially in Australia. Volunteers there care for and rescue Bats who get in trouble from cars and fruit tree netting and electric wires. You can make a contribution to Shoalhaven Bat Hospital or buy a Bat T-shirt by reading the Notes at the bottom of the videos. 

Update: Thanks to the contributions of battie lovers worldwide, great and small, the airlocks are going up in Mandy's Aviary.

Australian Sex Party

The Australian Sex Party fights for common sense policies around gender and sexual equality, secular government, drug law reform, taxing religious institutions and voluntary assisted dying. 

Do Australians do it better? 

God bless Australia and Tim Minchin. I know S/He does.

You may know Tim Minchin's hilarious The Pope Song. Well, he has done it again.

One day the Roman Catholic Church may repent and reform and tell the truth about all the kiddyfucking. When they do, it will be in part because of the intelligent ridicule of Tim Minchin and the courage of the child sexual abuse survivors.

Comedian Tim Minchin has taken aim at Cardinal George Pell in a provocative song in which he calls Australia's highest-ranking cleric in the Catholic Church scum, a coward and a pompous buffoon.

The musical attack aired on Network Ten's The Project on Tuesday night and immediately attracted a swell of support from viewers and social media users, despite outrage from The Project co-host Steve Price.

If you go to the Sydney Herald and read the whole article, you will find a place to send a contribution so that the Survivors can go to Rome and spit in Cardinal Pell's face, unfortunately only figuratively speaking.

Chief KiddyFucker Cardinal George Pell can "Sue me. Sue me. What can you do me? I hate you." Does not matter if you kiddyfucked, George Pell. You covered for the kiddyfucking priests. Jesus is waiting for your chubby ass, Georgie. "And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea." - Jesus Christ.

Knit for Nature

Calling all Knitters. Sick Penguins need sweaters. Knit and purl, Darlings. 

For those wishing to donate a jumper, the island’s Penguin Foundation has created a handy knitting pattern guide. "Jumper" is Australian for sweater. 

If you cannot knit, send a bit of money. They probably need the money more than they need the jumpers. Just my opinion. Money is always in good taste.

If you love Penguins as much as I do, consider making a trip to see the Penquin Parade. Failing that, knitting a Penguin Sweater is a great way to pass knitting knowledge to a new generation and teach love of nature and geography. Get busy. Be Happy!
