After a little rest in my office, the grebe had recovered enough that I took it back down to the local pond, where it showed how ridiculously cool their feet are at walking on water. Best part of my day by a long shot.

Happy 2 part story - today I was sitting at my office desk and out of the corner of my eye I noticed a bird hit my neighbors fence … turns out it was a grebe! I’ve never had the chance to see one before but their legs are so adapted for swimming that they can barely walk on land! Look at its feet!

It’s been a tough few days in my school and college. The comments from my head of school in this article sum it all

coroner finds NT police officer who shot Kumanjayi Walker was racist and can’t rule out that racism played role in fatal shooting

constable Zachary Rolfe was racist and it cannot be ruled out that his attitudes contributed to his conduct on the night. He shot and killed Kumanjayi Walker a coroner has found.

The inquest findings into Walker’s death were delivered by the northern territory coroner Elisabeth Armitage in Yuendumu on Monday. She said she could not exclude the possibility that Rolf’s views had contributed to the fatal shooting. “ Mr. Rolf was racist and he worked in and benefited from an organisation with the hallmarks of institutional racism” Armitage said
