Environmental scientist. Waste nerd. Storyteller. Traveller. Systems thinker. Sucker for anything homemade 😋. Can't walk past a good book...

It's blown my mind how quickly USA is being dismantled. Why aren't regulatory & judiciary checks & balances working to stop their actions - not just after the fact?

Can people direct an Aussie to good writings & analysis in Substack etc. to understand how & why America can fall apart so quickly?
This book is reigniting my passion to be a gut researcher RIGHT NOW. I've always said that I'll be a gut-microbes-soil researcher in my next life, but after reading this, I want it to be now now.

But, I still love my work in environmental science & behaviour change. I'm so torn. I need cloning 🤩🤓😜

No waste here! I've FINALLY fixed one couch cushion after searching for used, clean foam (no mould) for the last year.

Why get new foam (lots of toxic off-gassing) when I can use foam that is already in the world and sitting around, waiting to get loved again? #nowastehere #sustainablefixes

Fuck the billionaires.
Fuck the oligarchs.
Fuck the tech bros.
And fuck those of us who support & enable them.

We get this life once, & this is how you choose to live it. Yes, I'm talking Trump + his cronies. And Australia (yes, Gina + Murdoch, that includes you), Russia, Nth Korea, Musk, Meta..

This analysis of Trump's first weeks really resonated. For me, Trump's election & win, the conversations that people who vote & support him are saying - I look at it through a systems lens. It closely reflects discussions about poly-system collapse by Sarah Wilson's interviewees...cont in comments..

It's just another Happy Flatfish Friday 😜🐡🐠🐟

Thanks, Wild Green Memes for Ecological Friends (taken from Facebook). I love your work 😀

Surprisingly, the journey with Sarah Wilson and her book writing serial around systems collapse has been empowering and cathartic. Definitely sad and hard. But good, as it showed I'm not alone with these big feelings. Thanks Sarah and everyone who commented 💚🌟

This section of Sarah Wilson's writing in her final book chapter, and Andrea Ritchie's quote, really resonate. My work in the environmental field and behaviour change over the last 40 years has show...

I love that my non-fancy lunch is all locally made (including the book, which was printed + bound in Australia, though written by an American author)😋🤩. Locally-made pizza base, local vegies + bacon, cake made by my friend's 9yo son, local library book, + Kombucha made with local Sydney ingredients🌟

What viable options are there to move from Facebook and Instagram?

I have some great networks, groups and connections on these apps, and want to build similar elsewhere.

I'm thoroughly enjoying Substack and the connections and conversations there 🤩

I love how many posts I'm seeing about Denali 🤩🏔🏔.

With a supposed "new" name change out of the blue, many people are making sure we learn lots about Denali. I'm loving it 😀!
