    LOL – my “eat 30 plants a week” goal is really being tested in Singapore. They call this a “Wurst Waffle.” 😂 🧇

    So I got interviewed by the Telegraph about Roald Dahl. I think they wanted me to be more offended that his books were being edited to be less controversial. I had to point out to them that he himself did it starting in the 70s. (The Oompa-Loompas were not orange men with green hair in the original version, to say the least.) They didn’t use much of what I said, in the end. I’m okay with that. https://archive.is/qUJJ4

    Like all Inner West hipsters, I recently went to Dresden to get new glasses and contacts. Unfortunately I ran into a few problems. I have no bridge to my nose and their frames have no nose pads, so they sit directly on my cheeks very close to my eyes. Also, my prescription is so high that they were unable to create the highest-index lenses for the Large size frames (I have a giant head), and the medium-index ones caused serious distortion around the sides. I ended up with just these reading glasses, which I like but I’m constantly having to push back up my face. 😕 Any recommendations for somewhere in Sydney that caters to melon-headed, tiny-nosed, extremely short-sighted nerds? 🤓
