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 😝

If you’re going to reply like this unprompted to my instagram story then you must be feeling guilty for making money off of people dying. And if you’re not, well you should be. Melt all the guns down.

Messages I received from β€œorganicbunny” on Instagram because I posted about it being deplorable that anyone would sell things in relation to tragedy.

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.

The Victorian Statewide Treaty Bill has passed through both Houses of the Parliament. A truly historic and significant occasion. Much credit to the commitment and leadership on both sides.

Bad health days are still hard, but I am very aware that there are still many people who live their lives in bed who would do anything to have the health I have now. I am so very grateful to be able to get out of bed each day and spend every minute with my kids. It’s the life I always dreamed of.

Wearing a mask and avoiding contagious illnesses also makes a big difference, so thank you to everyone who continues to protect me in that way as well.

I’m still sick, but much better than I was before going. Before I left I was still testing positive to Bartonella, which years of antibiotics never got rid of. But on return, I was finally Bartonella negative. I think that has taken a big pressure off my system.

Seven years ago I was in Cyprus getting experimental treatment, without that treatment there is no way I would have been able to finish my degrees or have kids. So thank you so much to everyone who supported me in getting there.

Why investment in clean indoor air is vital preparation for the pandemics and climate emergencies to come Unchecked airborne infections cost billions in lost health and productivity each year – likely more than the cost of better ventilation to clean up indoor air.

β€œWe are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Now the official Palestinian death toll is over 60,000 but the number of will be much higher than that, and the suffering far too extensive to ever put a figure on. So I repeat - when is it enough? To those of you who have never done anything about Gaza, when is the suffering enough for you to act?
