Canadian flag 🇨🇦… but do you have any family connection with Canada? Or something that signals the opposite of Trump’s US! Maybe say you’re from the UN-United States. 🙃😉

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent.

SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

What’s missing in a lot of news reports!

Saw this book yesterday at Avid Reader in Brisbane & thought YES immediately!

From drawings & photographs documenting seed & plant species the past 16 years it struck me early on the presence of maths in both what I was seeing & the work of seed conservation scientists I saw up close!

What is this one Shelomi?

For 16 years I’ve been a pretty avid seed collector … some years more than others but love how you can never exhaust the search for new (to me) species. Thanks Shelomi 🙌🏽🌱🌱

Exactly. And it was already getting harder to but in before insurance was being cancelled.

A post from a month ago that seems to resonate more than ever!!

This nails so well the observations I’ve been tuning in to. One sector not burying its head in the sand saying there’s no climate change.

This is how late-capitalism ends, not with a bang … but an absence of insurance coverage:

Wonderful photos

My mothers generation (she’s 94) I think may be the last generation to live with the promise of security in Australia. Some places around the globe have not had that privilege. And as climate change ramps up lack of insurance leaves home owners & businesses at a loss. Much is now deeply uncertain 😭

Thanks so much Lisa… if you’d like to be added to my occasional newsletter drop me your email at sophie.munns@icloud.com

Thanks for asking Lisa! A few reasons why I never launched this book to sell.

I used the Past book app which downloaded my 2016 Instagram feed.

I am looking at doing a book after I move & regroup this year as the interest has been making me rethink 🙌🏽🌱🌿

Stunning photos Shelomi. Interesting to learn where you currently are working!

I’m in Australia but his chaos reaches far & wide!

Did you find out why Lottie?

I used to scratch my head as to how they all allowed the world to go to hell in a handbasket in the 1930s and why not enough was done to prevent it. We all know now.

Great cameo! Such strong memories of travelling between Eden and Sydney between 1983 & 1986 & seeing the magical village & hills of Cobargo. It’s been decades for me… what a resilient community after that summer of 2019-2020!

Tender… such a thought-provoking title & note!

So poignant & sadly topical. Is this part of a body of work Deidre?

You look so very at home here Barbara … lovely to be greeted by you & see your wonderful feed 🙌🏽

Great to see you here Barbara. I’m quite lost… newly arrived as if in a strange new world yet it seems so refreshing & inviting after meta-world!
