Two photos of white-footed dunnarts being held in someoneβs hand from the article linked in the post. In the top photo the dunnart is biting the hand ferociously, in the second photo the dunnart is peering over the top of the personβs thumb with enormous, endearing eyes. The dunnart is about the same size and colour as a mouse, but with large bulging eyes, sharp teeth, and a pointed snout. The caption of the first photo says βA white-footed dunnart is a carnivore, feeding mainly on insects, pictured here at Murramarang National Park on the NSW south coast. (WWF: Vivianna Miritis)β. The caption of the second photo says βThe white-footed dunnart is found in several states, pictured here on the NSW South Coast. (WWF: Vivianna Miritis)β.
Inside you there are two dunnarts

Painting of a clearing surrounded by dense forest in New Zealand with a pool in the foreground. In the centre a moa, a giant ostrich-like bird, is lying dead on it's back with it's feet in the air. Gathered around in mourning are numerous other birds native to New Zealand, including three kΔkΔpo (large green parrots) in the left foreground, three kΕtuku (great egrets) stand in the pool, two kiwi, a weka, three pukeko (blue rails) and a pair of huia (black birds with long beaks also now extinct) on the ground, a small flock of tΕ«Δ« (dark irridescent birds with a tuft of white feathers on their chins) fly in from the right, and above a pair of kea are flying and squawking at each other. Also looking on from among the foliage are numerous little human-like figures, the Patupaiarehe, with one in foreground holding an axe and riding on a tuatara. https://www.aucklandartgallery.com/explore-art-and-ideas/artwork/5907/te-tangi-o-te-moa

Note to self: stop buying toasties from the cafe in my workplace. $15 for a barely warmed, dried out toasted sandwich is extortion
At some point in the past 12 months at my work, everyone in a key executive reporting role that speaks to their portfolios in an all-staff meeting has started to sound like they're approximately 12 years old

Four frame comic. First frame shows a Canadian flag. Text reads : the new canadian citizenship policy, which was enacted in December 2025, restores citizenship by descent, for ancestors as far as you can prove. 2nd frame shows a locomotive. Text reads : that means that if one of your grandparents, great-grand- parents or even farther was demonstrably born in Canada, you don't even need to apply for citizenship - you are retro- actively granted it. Third frame shows an old dusty register book. Text reads : the process involves linking your CanadA-born ancestor to yourself by digging up a paper trail of birth or wedding certificates, proof of immigration or adoption, etc. thanks to Canadian archive- keeping traditions, this is possible by reaching out to towns, parishes, national archives*... Fourth frame shows old factory chimneys. Text reads : between 1840 and 1930, 925 000 French-Canadians fled persecution and economic oppression by moving to the usa. today, their descendants represent around ten million people, or 3% of the U.s. population. if it's time for you to come back, we haven't forgotten about you.
I'm not saying that Canada is perfect, I'm saying that the bar is pretty low right now.
