I recently had an encounter that restored my faith in humanity.🧵
I was in the Perth CBD when I walked past a young guy who was saying weird stuff to me. He started following me so I ducked into a shop to avoid him. When I felt a bit more comfy I stepped out and went into a couple of other stores.1/n

Deep sea mining plans blocked in Norway 🇳🇴🚫
Environmental groups described the news as a “historic win” for ocean protection.
Oslo had planned to let companies apply to mine 280,000 sq km (108,000 sq miles) of its waters, an area greater than the UK, for deep-sea minerals.
