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.

Five reasons why environmentalists have 'BEEF' with livestock

It is no secret that the way humanity has used the earth in the short time that we have been the "dominant" species on this planet has been problematic and unsustainable. In recent years, it has come to light that we've caused a mass of problems to our environment and we need large scale shifts in our methods pretty quickly if we hope to continue having a habitable planet.  What's this got to do with cows? One of the areas that I am passionate about, and that is coming more and more to the forefront in environmental conversations recently is the extremely damaging way we are producing (and wasting) our food. The least efficient and most environmentally damaging food source we generate on mass scale is animal products , particularly red meats such as Beef and Lamb . Like most of my posts, I'm going to centre this one around what's happening in Australia because the bulk of our readers are Aussies (hi guys!), and because Australians have an extrao...

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...

Always Thank the Bus Driver

I am continually astonished by the way I see people treat others, particularly those in service-type roles. Bus drivers, mail deliverers, kiosk workers, retail attendees, janitors, airline flight attendants and supermarket check out assistants are among the biggest targets for rude behaviour and this has to change. I used to commute to work by taking a train and then taking a bus service; It is a very popular bus (I worked at a university) and there were always lines of people standing - bored, untalking, unmoving, at the train station bus stop waiting for the bus to the university and, of course, there were always lines of people at the university waiting for the bus going back to the train. Day after day I commuted with dozens of passengers and day after day I watched most of them get on the bus without making eye contact or acknowledging the driver, and at the end of the trip they got off silently, as if the bus was merely an inconvenience, an obstacle in their schedule an...
