I'm finding it a little hard to work today with this in my head.

Antarctic ice extent is now 6.4 standard deviations below the mean. That is, I'm reliably told, a one in 13 billion year event.

We're about to see a lot of shit hit a lot of fans. And we are far from ready.

Business as usual is over. Politics as usual is over. We need to be putting our effort into building systems that can help us survive what greed and power and wilful blindness have wrought.

Indigofera australis ‘Australian Indigo’. What a beauty! Native plant of the Adelaide Hills, grows well in cooler climates. Nitrogen fixing, so it improves the soil and flowers this well in a semi shade position. Delicate foliage and spectacular flowers in Spring. Butterfly attracting. It’s leaves can be used in natural dying process. Relatively fast growing too. I planted this one as tube stock only 2 years ago and is already a sizeable shrub. #bloomscrolling #wildoz #australia #nativeplants
Vaccination in pregnancy greatly reduces risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19, and protects babies up to 6 months after birth

COVID-19 vaccination has been shown to be safe in pregnancy, and protects both the mother and infant from severe disease. It’s now also clear that infants’ antibody protection continues after birth.

The Conversation
One thing you should know is that I'm going to be open about what my family is doing with regard to pandemic precautions, what information we're using, what factors we're considering, and what sort of sustainable balance we're aiming for. I expect to engage in discussions with others who are also trying to navigate this difficult situation. If that upsets you because you believe it's a matter of all or nothing, then I'm not someone to follow. I'm not repeating the Twitter experience here.
Every damn time.

This is REALLY important.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Let that sink in. It costs less than accepting homelessness.

You’ve got to really feel for Cav, he looks devastated, in a daze. Not the way you’d like him to bow out, but he has the joint record. Just makes you wish he could’ve taken the stage yesterday. 😱 #couchpeloton #TDF2023 #cavendish
Cycling can be a bastard of a sport at times #TDF2023 #CouchPeloton
