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 ( >...

Why Ladybirds are great for your garden and how to attract them!

Ladybirds! Every child loves the sight of ladybirds (also called ladybugs or lady beetles), they're such charming little bugs and they're so sweet and unassuming, they're one of the best bugs to show to your kids as a teaching tool about insects because they're very gentle, usually quite slow, they've got vibrant colours and they don't (usually) bite!! Amazing!! In Australia we have a many varieties of ladybirds - about 500 species in fact ; just like we have hundreds of species of native bees !! They are helpful in your garden for two MASSIVE reasons: 1. They're one of our native pollinators and play a very important role in the ecosystem  Vital pollinators! won't do much good on a blanket though! 2. They (and all stages of their larvae) eat aphids! Which helps keep their numbers down naturally in your garden Ladybug larvae look HARDCORE!! Check it out!! ^ Aphids and mealybugs can cause a lot of damage in the garden, but t...

Driving? Reduce Stress, Risk, & Consumption by 'Chucking Out Some Bananas'

There is a very troubling trend among drivers, everywhere that there are impatient or uneducated drivers, this is a problem. Tailgating or having too short a following distance to safely avoid a collision in an emergency braking situation is unfortunately the norm BUT! YOU don't have to follow trends, I'm here to tell you that there are three really really good reasons why you should chill out and follow a lot further back than the average driver.  This simple approach will help you relax, reduce your risk AND spend less money on fuel by curbing consumption, all the while arriving at your destination no later than you originally would have anyway; too good to be true? Not so! All you have to do is chuck out a 'couple of bananas'. And what I mean by that is, give yourself a little extra space between you and the car in front. When I was learning to drive, my dad would always tell me to 'Count Bananas' to see whether I was at a safe following distance ...
