In a month it will be Xmas.
Do me a favor and be ludicrously kind to yourself this holiday, however you celebrate. Stay cosy, have whatever treats you can, and give yourself a break. This has been yet another horrendous year for far too many. So for a little while put down your arms, the sky is not going to fall on you just yet. If you have a need ask for help. If you have a bit extra, give it away humbly.

Ocean Photographer of the Year 2023: Winning Images Go on Display in Australia
Marine biologist Jialing Cai earned the 2023 grand title for her captivating shot of a paper nautilus — an unusual type of octopus — floating on a bit of debris after a volcanic eruption in the Philippines. It was taken on a blackwater dive, meaning during the night, using high-powered light sources that simulate the moon and attract sea life.

A bunch of kayakers blocked off the port of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia for 30 hours this weekend. It's the largest coal port on the planet.
Well, I have a cure for this.
Some might think, they were in love with Alicia Silverstone in the 90s. Some might think, they still are.
PSA - Unless COSO has already seen a Youtube video & previously grabbed the preview for inline presentation, we're not able to get them right now as they are blocking our infrastructure.
I'll get around to building a middleman box at some point.
So that's FB disallowing ANY mention of https://counter.social & Youtube preventing us pulling previews (as any other domain can).
Oh & Musk tried this shit this time last year too, until I called him out.
Fucking babies.
#FUNFACT - COSO will not lie down and take stupid shit from stupid outfits that are for sure bigger than us, as long as I remain unconvinced that they are 'better' than us at doing what they and their PR say they set out to do in the first place.
WE'LL just do what we promised. And keep on keeping on, despite them.
