Melbourne is about to go through another heatwave so join my toddler in making a water station for wildlife. Just remember to expect chaos when dealing with a toddler, you won’t get something aesthetically pleasing, but you will teach your toddler about caring for wildlife.

2 years of Apollo. He’s the best snuggler. No one is allowed into our house without being accosted by Apollo for a cuddle. He’s such a lovely little dog, very un-chihuahua-like 😝

I’ve seen some people using the recent tragedy to promote their courses or businesses which is deplorable. You should only be promoting charities and communities in relation to tragedy. You should not be making money off the hurt of others. It’s bloody ridiculous that this has to be said.

It’s worth reminding ourselves that there is a scientific consensus around the climate science.
Scientists are as certain of the blanket of human caused emissions wrapped around the earth as they are that gravity is real or that the earth is round.

11 years ago I posted about Palestine on Facebook.
Last year I wrote “15,000 children killed in Gaza and another 15,000 that are acutely malnourished right now. When is it enough?”

The two organisations I volunteer for, Parents for Climate and Victorian Dog Rescue, are both in desperate need of people who can help them create social media posts. If you can help either organisation create content, please let me know.
