This is the first piece in what will be a series of 4, and it is now available in my shop. Winter, or "fuyu" in Japanese, has its own unique beauty, and I love the quietness that a fresh snowfall brings. 🤍

If Albanese does agree, hasn't at this stage. We need to make sure MPs get the message that this is NOT supported by most of we voters.

Snowdrops are native to Eastern Europe and had been associated with Candlemas (2nd February) as their flowering period coincides with the feast of the purification of the Virgin after childbirth.
In 1596, London based botanist Gerard is the first one to mention them growing on English soil.

We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️

If you disagree with having as a public holiday the day on which a British penal colony was founded, and white supremacy, racism, colonialism, land theft, etc against Aboriginal people began; here's an Australian petition for you.

Loving Australia does not mean denying its history. You don’t get to cherry-pick only the comfortable parts and call it progress.
Loving Australia means wanting a national day that includes everyone, not demanding silence from those it excludes.

Went to see ‘My Brother’s Band’ at Palace Cinema today. Clean air (but of course I still masked) and enjoyed the movie. Would recommend if you’re in the mood for ‘a good cry’ (as compared to a bad one)🥲

I mean it’s about Greenland and colonialism. I feel like I’m in a story and the slightly heavy handed subtext is I’m watching this show❄️
Watching Smilla’s Sense of Snow on SBS streaming. Weirdly relevant to current geopolitics for something based on a book written in 1992. (Author Peter Hoeg). I read the book in the 1990s and can remember enjoying it but (luckily) not most of the plot. Yay for SBS!

Good news for us all—but particularly for COVID safe & airborne-aware advocates.
“Surgical face masks provide inadequate protection against flu-like illnesses including Covid, and should be replaced by respirator-level masks – worn every time doctors and nurses are face to face with a patient…”

Feeling really disappointed about the Adelaide Writer’s debacle. It’s tricky as a Covid aware person to travel etc so I have to choose and plan carefully and now it’s for naught. It’s nothing compared to the sacrifices the authors/panel members are making but damn why can’t we have good things
