What the Fish Smelled in the Headlines
Babel Fish surfaces what is buried: urgency without hysteria, Indigenous framing without dilution, patterns without conspiratorial spin. When traditional outlets lag — through caution, bias, cycle fatigue, or illusions of neutrality — tools like this broaden the epistemic field. They let those out of phase with dominant rhythms host the conversation and refuse single-beat dominance.

When the Stack Overflows: Neurodivergence, Python, and the Limits of Working Memory
In programming, a call stack is how your computer keeps track of where it is in a program. Every time you call a function, it gets added to the stack. Every time a function completes, it gets removed. LIFO: Last In, First Out.

The Lamb’s Binary Fate: A Neurodivergent Reflection on Imposed Identity, Gender, and Consent
As a middle-aged bloke living in Perth, Western Australia, one who was diagnosed with ADHD aged 48, I have found myself going back over my life a lot over the past three years.

What the hell have they done to servos, supermarkets, and fast food?
Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed how the fridges in just about every petrol service station, supermarket shelves, and fast food counters are packed with “food” products that are in actual fact primarily sugar or sugar-variant based, high in ultra-processed formulations (UPFs), and loaded with saturated fats? I saw this pattern first-hand on a recent road trip from Fremantle to Tasmania and back. The trip covered approx 10,000 km and honestly - every servo, supermarke

Knowing - As Seen Through An Alternative Truth
From the outside, my life can be read as late, interrupted or incomplete: education that never quite tracked, jobs that refused to stabilise, projects that seemed to spiral instead of progressing in straight lines. Inside, the experience is not of absence but of excess: too many patterns, too many connections, too many timelines overlapping in ways that resist tidy sequencing. The problem is not that there is no rhythm, but that the institutional metronome is set to a tempo t
