Something That I Love So Much About New Zealanders And Australians Is The Way They Sometimes Say "nunnight"

Something that I love so much about New Zealanders and Australians is the way they sometimes say "nunnight" for "good night." It's not "night night" like I've heard in other places, it's very distinctly "nunnight." Absolutely top-notch thing to say. So snuggly, hearing it feels like a hug

A simple line drawing showing an exterior view of Dulcie and Cath's house from the TV series Deadloch.

This was more challenging than the station because we don't get as many scenes/angles of the house. Still fun, but in places where we don't know what's there I've left it blank and noted that.

Part of the house is an A-frame. As I was drawing the floor plans I realized that they could be hard to understand for that reason, so here's an exterior view as well to hopefully clarify. 

(Please note, I do not have any insider knowledge of this set's floor plan. I have reconstructed this from what we can see in the series.)

[Image description: text reading, #file under reasons I don't reblog activism posts with guilt trips attached /End image description.]

Not that anybody asked, but I think it's important to understand how shame and guilt actually work before you try to use it for good.

It's a necessary emotion. There are reasons we have it. It makes everything so. much. worse. when you use it wrong.

Shame and guilt are DE-motivators. They are meant to stop behavior, not promote it. You cannot, ever, in any meaningful way, guilt someone into doing good. You can only shame them into not doing bad.

Let's say you're a parent and your kid is having issues.

Swearing in class? Shame could work. You want them to stop it. Keep it in proportion*, and it might help. *(KEEP IT IN PROPORTION!!!)

Not doing their homework? NO! STOP! NO NOT DO THAT! EVER! EVER! EVER! You want them to start to do their homework. Shaming them will have to opposite effect! You have demotivated them! They will double down on NOT doing it. Not because they are being oppositional, but because that's what shame does!

You can't guilt people into building better habits, being more successful, or getting more involved. That requires encouragement. You need to motivate for that stuff!

If you want it in a simple phrase:

You can shame someone out of being a bad person, but you can't shame them into being a good person.

twitter post by @sewershroom, 10th April 2024: 
a screenshot of part of a form, asking the question "Select all body parts you have today". Checkboxes allow you to select multiple answers, which are: breasts, cervix, uterus, ovaries, vagina, penis, prostate, and testes. Breasts, penis, prostate and testes have been checked.

reply by @nbouscal:
"people often say “isn’t agab language useful for medicine” when i argue against using it, and unironically, no, something like this is far more useful. agab is about the past, but the doctor is treating you in the present. they need to know hormone balance and what parts you have"

this is a way better model... you'll still get transphobic & intersexist drs of course but i prefer this to male / female or even having separate questions for gender & sex.

[we can't see the full form, but i'd suggest having a "something else" option and dominant hormone question too.]
