This looks like a lovely event showcasing the art of people who have experienced or are experiencing homelessness.

What a great event last week at the Wheeler Centre! Unfortunately the narrative is still largely on building housing, because we are in such a deep housing crisis, but I’m hopeful that Sacred Heart is trying to engage stakeholders in systemic change to prevent homelessness before it starts.

The days are finally getting long enough that there is light enough for a beach walk after work again. Spring is almost here! #portphillipbay #baysidemelbourne

“Silent Spring,” which exposed the dangers of DDT and other pesticides, was powerful enough to activate emotions, never florid, and willing to use the tropes of pastoral Americana for all they were worth. Bill McKibben reflects on Rachel Carson’s classic.
Bill McKibben on Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring”
Her reporting was quickly attacked by the industry she called into question, setting the playbook for companies that profited from tobacco, opioids, and fossil fuels.

I recently visited the Great Barrier Reef for the first time. I fell in love with the giant clams! And was sad to see so much broken coral. I was told it was due to cyclone damage. Is that usual on reefs or due to climate change? Photos from Upolu Reef

I love seeing these in toilets in public places in Melbourne. I hope they are getting to the people who need them though.

I'm genuinely SO excited about the new ocean map that will be at the heart of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich when this hall reopens on June 7th. It's an unusual ocean-focussed map with so much detail, and it's just brilliant. 🌊🌊 Here's a sneak peak.

Not a good photo but today there was a beautiful White Faced Heron (I think?) on my beach walk. 💕

I saw the 40th Anniversary World Tour of Les Mis in Melbourne last night. While an arena isn’t the same as a proper theatre, ie the orchestra took up half the stage and singers had to be in front of mics to sing, but they were very creative in how they made it work, and the voices were fabulous!
