A Spoodle in Space - The Space Tourist Chronicles

-
Image
  Blast off on a wild space adventure! We're crammed into our battered little Subi spacecraft, heading to the dusty outpost of Outpost Aurum. Our mission: to reach the ocean planet of Oceanus Station. Join us as we station-hop through space, in a calamity of errors, as intrepid space tourists.  Script Our battered Subi spacecraft, a relic of pre-Collapse Jump engineering, groaned under the weight. Myself, BK, and Katcha, the genetically modified spoodle with its enhanced olfactory sensors, along with enough protein paste to outlast a minor vacuum breach, were crammed inside.  A brand-new Brass Monkey cryo-unit hummed in the boot, our lifeline for the long haul. Our mission: a jump from Beagal's orbital dock to the dusty outpost of Outpost Aurum, a waypoint on the long haul to Oceanus Station, a planet known for vast oceans. Outpost Aurum, a rumoured oasis of functional grav plating, was our first target. Beagal's orbital dock was a pressure cooker of recycled air and stal...

Do you feel the weight of history in your city's streets? Does the same spirit that fueled Bonifacio's fight for Philippine freedom burn in you today?

Walking with Bonifacio
Chino Roces Avenue burns with history.
I imagine heroes like Andrés Bonifacio
sweating in this same overwhelming heat.
The cultural spirit that Bonifacio kindled.
Each step reveals layers of the Filipino struggle for freedom.
Skyscrapers loom but can't hide the past.
Bonifacio's soul lingers in these streets.
The fight for justice continues today.

The privileged few have stripped this city, and the desperate have been pushed to the neglected outskirts. Defiance has spread through the streets as the poor are forced to pay inflated costs. The social fabric tears under the pressure of workers trapped in endless cycles of debt. Years of witnessing wealth disparity, crushing interest rates and suppressing labour unions have moulded resistance into something unyielding.

Keywords:
Bonifacio, Filipino history, colonialism, Manila, social justice, resistance, wealth disparity

Call to Action:
"Share YOUR knowledge of the history of fighting for justice in your city in the comments below."

Travel Australia Darwin to Daly Waters

-
Image
  DAY ONE Our trusty Subaru Forester was packed with me, my partner Brenda, Katchalla (our concerned but enthusiastic spoodle), and enough snacks to survive a tiny apocalypse. With our brand new Brass Monkey securely tucked into the boot, we set off on our mission: the first leg of an epic journey from Darwin to Ulladulla, NSW, with Daly Waters shimmering in our minds as our initial oasis. We departed from Darwin, the tropical humidity clinging to us like a second skin. After about 98 kilometers, the promise of caffeine lured us into the Adelaide River Country Store. Brenda, ever the coffee connoisseur, declared their coffee to be "a damn good coffee," which is a high compliment indeed. Meanwhile, Katcha sniffed around, searching for the right spot to relieve himself and stumbled upon the store's no dickhead policy. Back on the Stuart Highway, the landscape began to slowly transform. The lush greens of Darwin gradually gave way to the more resilient vegetation of the outb...
