And in the pre-dawn dark
The city traffic suddenly stops.
Then into this pool of silence
Swims the liquid notes
Of a blackbird's
Spring
Song.

Shall I compare thee to the winter moon?
Derivative, I know, but no less true.
Viewed through the lens of two star-kissed lovers,
Crossing over and into each other.
Where fair Verona sets the scene above,
A stage for Valentine to preach of love.

When you have a rules-based order where you carve out exceptions to our values, eventually the exceptions become the rules.

This #poem was inspired by the visit to Australia by Israel’s President and two favourite poems of mine: The Beneficiaries by Australia’s Les Murray and The Diameter of the Bomb by Israel’s Yehuda Amichai.

The bravery of all these kids amidst the trauma our government is causing, when it should be protecting them. On top of generational trauma, on top of the trauma of living in a capitalist dystopia. The humanity, empathy and bravery of these children.

Now that’s a poker face
We haven't seen much in the fish department during the current expedition so here's a Sladenia with its dingle dangle sticking up from @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 389 when they were exploring Osprey Reef, Australia in 2020. #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.
My most authoritarian opinion is that the MMR vaccine should be mandatory, with only medical (not religious or floofy) exemptions allowed. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This shot gives you a pretty good idea of how much larger the female Bald Eagle is. The female is Hannah and the male is Mr. Majestic! #LakeCasitas #Birds #Raptors #Nature #Photography

For the #FebruArty theme of #flow... I enjoy how the shapes of the fish suggest the flowing of water (if I do say so myself). Hope your day flows around you gently 💜

Unreal City is acrylic on a wood panel 42cm x 60cm.

It’s got a shimmering feeling that, as I painted it, reminded me of Australia or Singapore….
