Victor Harbor is a gorgeous resort town BUT developers are descending in rapacious droves without planning for mass access. It has ONE, notoriously dangerous access road. WTF? @cityofvictorharbor @FleurieuSun @indaily @tiser @Victorharbortimes @abcnews #safetyissue #roadsafety
I am glad Melanie expressed compassion for some village children in Ukraine. But to politicise her as a last-minute peacemaker is really offensive. Where has this compassion been for the rest of the war? #spin #marketing

J’ai 82 ans.
4 enfants, 11 petits-enfants, 2 arrière-petits-enfants…
Et une chambre de 12 m².
Je n’ai plus ma maison.
Plus mes meubles, ni mes souvenirs autour de moi.
Mais j’ai quelqu’un qui fait mon lit, me prépare à manger,
et prend ma tension chaque matin.
Je n’entends plus les rires d’enfants,
je ne prépare plus mes boulettes, ni mes œufs mimosa.
Je ne tricote presque plus.
Certains passent me voir tous les quinze jours.
D’autres, tous les trois mois.
Et puis… certains ne viennent plus du tout.
Alors je fais mes sudokus.
Je vais en ergothérapie.
Je parle avec ceux qui restent… mais pas trop.
Parce qu’ici, les liens se brisent vite.
Ils partent souvent sans prévenir.
On dit que la vie dure plus longtemps qu’avant.
Mais pourquoi, si c’est pour la finir si seule ?
Il me reste mes photos.
Quelques objets ramenés de “chez moi”.
Et le silence, parfois trop lourd.
Si quelqu’un me lit…
J’espère que les générations futures comprendront une chose :
La famille, ce n’est pas que des débuts.
C’est aussi des retours.
C’est prendre soin de ceux qui nous ont aimés les premiers.
Prendre soin de ceux qui ont pris soin de nous…
C’est peut-être ça, le vrai respect.
— Une maman, une grand-mère…
Ou peut-être toi, un jour

They left yesterday.
None in the garage last night.
8,000miles, bound for southern Africa.
I always feel melancholy when they leave.
Safe journey, you wee beauties.
See you next year. 💙🙏🌍

A male always handles the childcare in the emu world.
Here is one protecting three stripeys (not necessarily his babies, btw). That's what baby emus are lovingly called, for obvious reasons.
Credit to Rhonda for spotting these as we travelled along Flinders Ranges Way yesterday.

Full circle.
AND a fairy penguin at Victor Harbor!
😮😲🥺😥

British bastardry at an epic level. This "sport" must die!
Look how they treat their hounds
After they’ve run for these monsters hour after hour.
This is in public—they don’t care—the cruelty is shameless.
A complete ban on hunting with dogs is way overdue @andyburnham this has no place in a civilized country.

A new Mongabay investigation reveals that Vantara, the private Indian zoo run by Anant Ambani, has engaged U.K. lobbyists with strong ties to European pro-hunting organizations and the Trump administration.
Lobbyist Tristan Breijer of Checkmate Government Relations, who has represented European hunting associations, organized a private roundtable for Vantara on the sidelines of a recent CITES meeting in Geneva. Checkmate was founded by a close hunting associate of Donald Trump Jr., and its client list includes Reliance Industries, the oil and gas giant owned by the Ambani family.
The lobbying efforts come as CITES scrutinizes the origins of some of the endangered animals imported by Vantara. India is expected to report to the CITES Standing Committee in November on the due diligence and oversight of its wildlife import processes.
Conservationists point out that hiring commercial lobbying firms tied to trophy hunting raises critical credibility questions for an institution that claims to operate purely as an animal rescue facility.
Read the full report on the network of political connections and lobbying activities surrounding Vantara.

"Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States that loves us so much he can't even breathe" -- in extremely culty scene, Trump has his supporters pledge to him that they will vote, then tells them they will "go to hell" if they don't
Here's the full sequence:
