About Us

Hi there,

Thanks for visiting our blog! 


We're just two best friends from opposite sides of the globe who bond over regular existential crises, seeking answers and finding knowledge. We thought we'd share it all in one place with you, the lucky reader. Topics range from the enraging, the intriguing, to the utterly bizarre. Welcome to the whirlwind that is "P.S. think about it." 

 P stands for Penny, an Australian scientist and ethics enthusiast who cares very much about the future of the planet, as such she is a passionate vegan who believes all our actions impact on this earth. Penny's all about saving the world but in her down time she plays with house plants and reads novels. 

 S is for Simon, a UK citizen who is passionate about human rights, religion and politics with a focus on South Asia. Simon also cares about the planet but is way more low-key about it, he enjoys video games, comics and music and did so before it was cool. 

 We are both deeply introspective, reflective and just all round thinkers on all topics - pondering, dwelling on, and mulling over a wide variety of questions that affect this planet and the people who live on it. 

 Read on for a little insight into our minds. Please subscribe if you're that way inclined. 

 P.S. Think about it.

All About Bees in Australia (and how you can help!)

"Save the Bees" This slogan is everywhere right now, accompanied by images of honeybees and empty supermarket fresh produce sections sparking concern about the future of bees. We really need to broaden the scope. Focussing solely on honeybees does a grave injustice to the beautiful pollinators out there who could be just as much at risk.  There are  MANY more types of bees in the world than honeybees , in Australia alone, there are over 1,600 native bee species , it is a diverse and beautiful branch of the insect world. Then there are other pollinators , including  beetles, butterflies, flies, ants, birds, bats etc . Our planet  WOULD  survive without honeybees, they've only  landed the scapegoat role because they're so profitable , I doubt they'd die off (people protect their money that way). I f you've read our  'about' page  you may guess our skepticism towards profit-focused campaigns - and the bee business is BIG business ( >100 millio

The Problems with Australia Day Extend Beyond its Date

Australia is a beautiful country, filled with many beautiful people descended from cultures all over the world. We've got unique and magnificent wildlife, we have an amazing array of wilderness - from beaches, deserts to tropical forests. And most importantly, Australia is home to the oldest living civilisation in the world , with continuous roots dating back tens of thousands of years.  So why is "Australia day" so limited in what it celebrates? The problem with Australia Day’s date, I think, does not get to the core of the issue because whilst the date itself makes the discrimination shockingly obvious, there is a problem in Australia of  ONGOING under-aknowledgement  of aboriginal culture  as a core and central part of our rich history. In a standard ‘Australia day’ celebration for example -  where  are the original peoples of this land?? Is there a welcome to country? Is there acknowledgement of ANYTHING about our First Nation peoples at all? Unli

What eating refugee rations for a week taught me.

Background: Recently (from 17th-24th of June 2018) I undertook Act For Peace's 'Ration Challenge'. The challenge entailed  spending an entire week eating only the rations that a typical Syrian refugee in a Jordan refugee camp would be given. I always feel my best when I am helping others and I have a huge passion for helping those less fortunate. I was more than keen to sign up for this challenge to raise some money for this wonderful organisation that helps provide refugees with access to food, education, hygiene supplies, medical attention and counselling. My heart goes out to refugees because they've been through so much, they've had to flee their homes and endure terrible circumstances to eventually end up in a refugee camp where they will be essentially stuck for an elongated period of time, the uncertainty of that situation must be almost unbearable.    [1] I learned so much from doing this challenge, and my awareness of the plight of refugees
