I like the response buttons New Public offer as quick resonse options to comments. Much better than a heart icon which can feel really awkward at times. Before the now ubiquitious response hearts ❤️ there were stars ⭐️ which felt a little more open to multiple meanings. This is even better.
Buttons labelled relatable, helpful, controversial and interesting are available below comments, allowing you to provide so.ething more than a binary response. You can also comment.

This envelope is misleading. Before opening it, I'd assumed it was general unbiased information from the Electoral Commission. It's not.

It is information from Peter Dutton/Liberal in federl election. It might be important to some, but definitely not everyone.
Image of an envelope delivered to all addresses in my area. In white text on a red rectangular background is IMPORTANT. Under this in apital letters is 'Voting information for the federal election' A blue outline image out of the camera view that is a hand putting a ballot on a box.

Despite my concerns about the world and the Australian election on 3 May, where I see Trump politics being promoted as democracy (it's not - it's removing rights/conditions) and free speech (it's not, it's giving the right to use slurs, and removing safety), the world has delightful moments.
It's a sunny day at the beach in Glenelg, South Australia. We see a dog wandering along the beached paused to sniff at something that aroused its curiosity. The blue sea beyond the sand looks inviting and the jetty in the distance offers a space for strolls and fishing

We are looking at a cafe and shopping strip corner a pale yellow awning proclaims 'dreamy and creamy acaci' while a bright orange sign hanging from the veranda extending over the footpath says ah-sai-yee, and behind that, also hanging from the veranda ceiling, is a more traditional black sign with white text shows the way to Black-eyed coffee. A mural with stick-figure-ish characters against a black background is painted on the side of the building forming a back drop for the side street on the corner. The first character is burdened with many boxes, and behind it them are two other characters facing one another. One is holding a heart that they are about to give or receive and the other with hands out to accept or give their heart. But we can't really tell who is giving and who is receiving, it could go either way. The text below the three characters reads 'Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more. - H. Jackson Brown Jr #PositiveSigns'

#WomenInSTEM may have been removed from US government websites but women have a history of rolling up their sleeves and getting things done for themselves -- despite opposition and "stacked decks". A new community site popped up to reinstate the missing information womeninstem.us

I will get back to working on my GoS piece. It may yet end up a failed prototype that I need to start over but there's still over 80 days to work on it so I should be ok. BUT a TARDIS would be helpful to capture some more time #gameofshrooms #artnseek #art

It turns out I no longer have any large cake boxes so I had to store it in halves and quarters -- here's the evidence I really did make the cake!
A large quarter wedge of Apple Tea Cake sits on top of a storage cntainer. You see the wedge of cake, with a lighter base full of apple, topped with a layer of caramel-browned cinnamon encrusted apple, and glazed with an Apricot jam glaze. Mmm-mh.

A work harmony day picnic where the conversation turned to a discussion about the opportunities for conversations and building understanding (that is idealky followed by peraonal action) but also, the deficits/harms of tokenistic observance. We also indulged in play in the form of large scale games
A very large connect 4 wooden game sits on a blue picnic rug with red and yellow striped patterns. On the blanket and grass we see a water bottle, red bag phone nd other picnic paraphernalia A picnic blanket crowed with picnic basket a plate of vegetable sticks in a round wedge-partitioned tray, a large tic tac toe board sitting on the grass where unseen people are chatting, laughing and playing games together Large dice from a yatzee style game have been rolled on the grass and a picnic basket is visible alongside a footpath.

"A circular system is estimated to have s much as USD 4.5 trilion potential for economic growth by 2030" | Source: OECD, www.oecd.org/en/topics/ci...

Resource efficiency and circular economy www.oecd.org/en/topics/po...
The circular economy is about the economy While the circular economy is expected to generate positive impacts on the environment, projections show that shifting from a linear approach of “take, make and dispose” to a circular system is estimated to have as much as USD 4.5 trillion potential for economic growth by 2030. The circular economy could be worth as much as USD 700 billion in global consumer good material savings. Moreover, with activities such as repair, maintenance, upgrading, remanufacturing, reuse, recycling of materials and product-life extension, more labour intensive than the mining and manufacturing of a linear economy, the circular economy is likely to provide job creation opportunities."

It's harmony day. I was given a cookie/biscuit that read 'Be Kind'

The world needs more acts of random kindness -- and good humans

* kindness is not agreeable-compliance
* kind is not the same as 'nice' which has a somewhat subservient door-mat-ish vibe

On not being an idiot youtu.be/5uFwyPP5GOQ
An orange cookie with at least two bites, if not more sits nestled against a white canvas bag on a desk top next to the bag it came in. The cookie has the word 'kind' imprinted into the orange icing. Prior to having bites removed the imprinted text read 'Be kind'

‪If anyone is looking for good American style pies in Adelaide South Australia, I recommend Proof of Pie on Franklin St | proofofpie.com.au. I shared their pies for work pi day - and at our family/sibling dinner. The general commentary was that they tasted like (good) homemade pie

The reasons I had to fix Adelaide where it is rn are probs not gonna be chill for everyone right now. But my haters, by picking every little thing, kinda did me a solid by putting all the blame on me. I'm cool with it, though. I'll leave it to future generations, not them, to give cred or be haters.

Banksy challenges conformance of thought and mindless compliance to social norms. Via the works at this exhibition we are invited to graffiti ... and yet no one has. We all are complying with the social rules of an art exhibition. I didn't have a marker, nor a message - so disappointed in myself!
