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 ( >...

Would you have opposed slavery in its era?

Do you reckon you would’ve? One of my idols is a historical figure - Benjamin Lay. He was a vegan back IN THE 1700s!!!! And he was fiercely against slavery, he spoke out against it loudly and forcefully. But I believe one of the reasons he was able to do this was because he was incredibly unique from day one - he was a strange looking fellow with dwarfism and never had any hope of fitting in to ‘normal’ society anyway - without the bounds of belonging he was able to find true morality and speak up for what was right. I hope we don’t have to be dwarfs to speak out against widespread cruelty and immorality in this day and age. Change is scary, most people don't fight the primal instinct to belong. Especially when it is convenient, easy, and beneficial to go along with the majority. It is the uncomfortable and unfortunate truth that MOST people go along with deep ingrained systemic injustice because they've been taught to ignore it, expect it, or simply because it is too dam...

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 ...
