I just watched a young guy in a vintage suit move his vintage furniture around his vintage apartment to make enough room to dance an authentic Charleston to period music played on a vintage record player and THIS IS THE ENERGY WE NEED MORE OF IN THIS WORLD.

The Holocaust was legal. We had a law prof teach a whole course on this. Ppl who conflate what is lawful with what is right are easy to manipulate and control.

I'm like this today, dreaming up ideas for a really inspiring education program that combines plants, conservation and science education. Best. Day.

#ArtAdventCalendar day 6, and species number 6: the dhole, also known as the Asiatic or Indian wild dog. They might resemble foxes with their colors, but are closer to wolves.
Fun trivia: instead of howling or barking, they whistle.

So - about a year ago I learned to knit. Just over. And I have knitted, even if just a row or two, every day since with few exceptions. These are the fingerless gloves I made for my Dad this Christmas. They were … troublesome … to make, not because of the colourwork but sizing. Finally done!

And a one, and a two, and a one-two-three-four! Carry it away kids…

In the early 1890s, Roderic O’Conor painted many portraits of Breton women involved in domestic tasks. Here, he has deliberately exaggerated colour inspired by the paintings of his friend Gauguin and used a striping method inspired by van Gogh.

Time for an intro! I write, grow plants and make stuff. The passion of my life is helping people connect and engage through education -- building opportunities and connections is the deal! Dual Canadian-Australian, on Wurundjeri Woiwurrung land. There will be drawings. There may be worms.
