23.01.2022 Need a new mask? Support a great cause.

23.01.2022 Looking for a new read? The Bookshop Darlinghurst is taking pre-orders for this very interesting title. The description is a hoot! Read and Recommended by Hendri: "Contrary to the common belief about the allyship (straight people as the allies of queer people), queer people actually need to become allies of straight people. Why is that so? Jane Wards The Tragedy of Heterosexuality details how heterosexual culture, the pinnacle of normality, is rife with dull sex, disrespect...ful attitudes, and obsession with outdated norms, consequently leading to monotonous erotic life and equally, heterosexual suffering. However, as Hans Christian Andersens famous tale, The Emperors New Clothes, the heterosexuals tragically are not yet aware of it, or perhaps, if they are, the straight people would not dare to admit it. Such ignorance, Ward details, is evident in the heterosexual-repair industry, in which popular books and coaching companies continue flourishing by giving out temporary solutions to the long-standing problem, which are deeply rooted in the foundation of the straight culture itself. With her unapologetic, witty, and provocative style, Ward illuminates myriad ways of heterosexual culture perpetuates gender stereotypes, the resentment between men and women fueled by sexist science and norms, and super-sadly, the prescripted sexual relation. To save the heterosexuals from their soon-to-be doomsday, Ward turns to the 1970s lesbian feminist texts to teach what straight men and women can do to be better and wilder in bed (and in romantic life, too!). This includes how to think differently about penetrative sex beyond just a give-and-take action. This is a "Queer Eye for the Straight Couple" book to guide them for a more meaningful and loving life." Pre-order it now: https://www.thebookshop.com.au//the-tragedy-of-heterosexu/

22.01.2022 Former Home and Away star Mat Stevenson, and his transgender daughter, Grace Hyland share their inspiring story, plus why early support is imperative in order to prevent trans-adolescent suicide.

20.01.2022 Keyboard warriors are a plenty it seems with this story in Blue Mountains Gazette. Anyone care to respond?

20.01.2022 Weve had a very busy and exciting few weeks at Blackheath Community Farm and welcomed new farmers and bush regenerators. Weve harvested purple sprouting brocc...oli, silverbeet and ruby chard, red mustard and red elk mizuna, green mizuna, red kale, rocket, chives, land cress, broad bean tips and flowers, a variety of lettuces and parsnip seeds ... and we were thrilled to be given some tiny purple popping corn seeds. Cant wait to get those growing. We also planted out more of our seedlings (including onions and scallions). After our first three weeks of our new bush regeneration program were putting together some videos to share which well put up soon. Weve learnt to spot beautiful patches of bushland and gently remove the weed encroaching on them and weve removed a massive amount of weed already. Check out the bizarre agapanthus root which has grown through a pine cone, which, in turn, is being consumed by mycellium. Our ongoing bush regen sessions will be on the first and third Sunday of every month (including today), and well also continue our food farming every Sunday ... all welcome!

19.01.2022 Although the website is being updated right now, don't forget Pink Mountains Youth kicks off for 2021 tonight at Katoomba Youth Centre at 7pm. See you there!

19.01.2022 The intrepid Blackheath Community Farmers meet every Sunday, rain or shine, from 10am until 1pm (often longer!) and warmly welcome all visitors. The Farm is on ...a block of land that has been generously made available to the community by Mountains Christian College. It is at the bottom of the school. To get there you need to turn right into Thirroul Ave before the main entrance of the school (see map below). We grow food and regenerate bushland around the Farm. During COVID we are not sharing food but bring lunch and a thermos. We share the days produce and some great conversation. The Farm is a project of The Big Fix Ltd. www.thebigfix.org Enquiries to Lis on 0407 437 553
