How the worm turns. Pebbles mothered the little bit of ginger fluff, Bam Bam, and now they frolic day and all through the night, prancing across sleeping faces, and feet🐱🐱

Meanwhile in Irish rightwing media, their ‘star’ journos will be all - ‘we will regret Michael D Higgins as president in years to come.’ Apparently it will be because he didn’t read sections of Mein Kampf* on TV after the Angelus, Goose-Step in the Áras or kit out the Defence Forces in Hugo Boss

'The Cancer Killers' ABC. Wonderful stuff that they're doing, and lovely to see Iain MacGregor is involved. He's the cannabis wizard too #Respect

The Will to Change, Learning to Love in a Wounded South Africa
South Africa’s struggle with gender-based violence reveals a deeper cultural fracture — one rooted in patriarchy, emotional repression, and generations of unspoken pain.

Good morning, at 5am the shelter manager found these tiny babies abandoned on the roadside.
Left to fend for themselves at just weeks old 💔 Now safe, warm.
How can anyone be so cruel? 🐾 #AnimalRescue #StopAbandonment #AdoptDontShop

In Santiago, Chile
The days are interminably long:
Several eternities in a day.
Like the vendors of seaweed
Travelling on the backs of mules:
You yawn - you yawn again.
Yet the weeks are short
The months go racing by
And the years have wings.
Nicanor Parra (1914-2018)

‘Sasuke, my dear cat.’ #Photography by Masahisa Fukase (1977) #art
Fukase raised his cat since he was a kitten & said that he imagined himself changing into a cat.
When photographing Sasuke, Fukase said, “I saw myself reflected in the cat, & wanted to photograph the love I saw there.”

Cigarette ads by law carry health warnings
Selling fossil fuels legal
But, fossil fuels ads ought not be
Petrol pumps, gas & electricity bills ought carry warnings on #fossilfuel impacts

Albanese said The Dismissal was a "partisan political ambush" & a "calculated plot" hatched by conservative forces to remove a democratically elected government; not a constitutional crisis but an illegitimate act. But, the ABC says, it did no harm really, we've still got a democracy... 2/
