I made John Cleese a women’s tailored suit for a cell phone ad in the 90’s. Passed Michael Parkinson in the street. Had afternoon tea with Sonia, Queen of Norway

How dare they try to patronise powerful and principled women like this while they obsessively attack their every utterance. This paper is a disgrace.

Liberal women react with ‘horror’ to abortion comments from Coalition colleagues Jane Hume says politicians should not be using straightforward legislation as a ‘Trojan horse’ for personal opinions

They already have a woman problem

No, if you have heard his view on women’s health care, he is worse.

Lush

The chemical companies went on the offensive, calling her "a fanatic defender of the cult of the balance of nature," and "probably a Communist." The publishing of the book was one of the pivotal moments in the development of the U.S. environmental movement and facilitated the U.S. ban of the pesticide DDT and further research into the disruptive effects of pesticides in the human body. 6 decades later, the need to teach about threats to the environment is even greater.

Otd in 1962, Rachel Carson published one of the most consequential books ever written:
"Silent Spring", about the deleterious impacts that widespread and uncontrolled pesticide use in the U.S. was having on the environment.

It’s just stunning. Doesn’t matter where you come from!

At Turramurra station (Bradfield) last week I was urged to ‘make Australia happy again’. Thought it was odd, even for the LNP

In denial on so many levels

Second generation rodenticides are abominable. They kill many non-target native species & hence can also be a disaster for ecosystems.

Our design teacher adored his illustrations and encouraged us to draw like this in 1981! So good 😊 ❤️

Koala park delay prompts fear Labor has folded to logging industry After nearly two years in government, state Labor has still not created the Great Koala National Park it promised in 2015, prompting criticism from one of its own.

NSW Premier Chris Minns wants to come up with some answers on this ... and fast!
This was a core 2023 election promise!

Tell me again how the CMFEU &AWU care about koala habitat. I'm all( fluffy) ears!!

Amaryllis belladonna, or as my dad used to call them, ‘naked ladies’ because no leaves 😊

Bauhinia galpinii, red bauhinia. Can be weedy up north. Next to it some bromeliads on the way to flower.

Vireya rhododendron, my garden is a bit dry for it (sparse leaves) but the flowers are a stunning colour.

Hibiscus, rescued from bargain basement at Flower Power looking nice. Fuchsia ‘Coralle’ at the back.

Lethal second-generation rat poisons are killing endangered quolls and Tasmanian devils Second generation rat poisons are so potent that they’re banned for home use in Europe and North America. But here, you can pick them up at Bunnings or Coles.

For 7 years we have been studying how rat poisons affect native wildlife. Our initial work focussed on owls, then we found it in reptiles and today we have released our world first study showing it is killing Australia’s threatened quolls and the Tasmanian Devil. theconversation.com/lethal-secon...

As any woman in the back of a locked taxi knows, Sam Kerr should never have been brought to court | Suzanne Wrack The Matildas and Chelsea forward won’t be proud of the footage of her in a police station. But her acquittal underlines that the charges and court battle that followed were a waste of time and money

I drove a cab for 15 years. I cleaned up a lot of spew. It wasn't fun. But even I can tell you Sam Kerr should never have been the one who needed to explain herself to the cops, let alone a courtroom. The entire case is a textbook definition of white privilege www.theguardian.com/football/202...
