parkrun has been very strongly inclusive of trans folk, so they aren't likely to fold easily to this sort of stuff. They consulted me as part of their 2019 overhaul of the way they handled gender, specifically because they wanted to hear trans voices.

I've spoken at one of their regional conferences, and they even stuck my rambling on a video on youtube to highlight what inclusion looks like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoFMav9G8vs

There is some sort of bug in pixelfed. Normally, you don't see posts unless they have an image, but for some reason, you can see posts that someone else boosts even if it doesn't have an image. That's how most non photo political stuff snuck through to my timeline. You can get around it by hiding boosts from people you follow who boost the content you don't want to see.

This is a screenshot from the AER PDF on the solar sharer program, which you can find here https://www.aer.gov.au/system/files/2026-05/AER%20-%20Solar%20Sharer%20Offer%20fact%20sheet%20-%20DMO%208%20final%20determination.pdf

I'm in Queensland, so the Energex rates apply. The base tariff rate is 26c until 11am, then free for 3 hours. Then 8c for 2 hours and then 49c between 4 and 9pm. My memory was off, and it's only double the rate, but my point still stands. The peak time is a lot more expensive on the solar sharer plan, so you need to do the maths and make sure your usage will be shifted towards the free period and away from the peak, because if your highest usage is in the peak period and you don't mitigate that, you could end up paying more on the solar sharer plan. You can absolutely save money on the SSO, and we use it for that reason, but you can also end up out of pocket.

Sorry for the egginess.

You don't need to apologise for trying to find yourself in a world that makes that really hard!
