(Pre)sunrise, Thursday, 26 March, from Okitu Beach, Aotearoa / New Zealand. The skies were full of brilliant colour that gradually became grey before an actual “sunrise”, hidden by clouds. So this is the highlight portion of the morning’s unfolding. Ata mārie / Good Morning ☀️

Beef stifado, from an advanced cookery workshop I took in Greece last year. Six hours on a low heat and the onions break down into the sauce while the beef turns soft enough to cut with a spoon. #ComfortFood 👩‍🍳🍽️

I got the rejection email today. I didn't have any luck with the Australian Geographic photo comp this year. No need for sympathy. I'm used to it. It's very competitive. Here's one of my unsuccessful entries. A yellow-tailed rock wallaby at Boolcoomatta Reserve.

This is very laughable...what a shit show..

It's been awhile since I posted this photo in BlueSky. An art museum was promoting Salvador Dali's work and I happened to be walking by it when I saw this perfect opportunity for an interesting photo. #streetphotography #barcelona #humor #photography

If people would just STOP spending money and put others first FOR ONCE we could end all of this shit in a month’s time give or take. Tank everything and they’ll be forced to change. ICE at airports? Stop buying plane tickets. A general strike on EVERYTHING would fix it but people are selfish.

"The unidentified air traffic controller was in charge of both air and ground traffic. While that's not necessarily out of the ordinary — especially late night — it should be. It meant he was in charge of telling planes in the air, on the ground, and vehicles on the ground where they needed to go."

Don’t ever let a recipe tell you how much garlic to put in. You measure that with your heart.

And of course, the Senate confirmed him.

"What I want is so simple I almost can't say it: elementary kindness. Enough to eat, enough to go around. The possibility that kids might one day grow up to be neither the destroyers nor the destroyed. That's about it." Barbara Kingsolver - Animal Dreams

Some people refuse to shrink themselves for anyone’s comfort. They’re the ones who carry their own weather, their own truth, their own strange and beautiful light. Those are my people.

Nothing says “banquet” like checking grocery prices and deciding water is a side dish.

I'm old enough to remember living in a time when the adults were in charge. Now we we're living in the Age of Ignorance & Dumbfuckery...

Good afternoon everyone.🤗
