A small sand goanna at Gluepot Reserve. It didn't give me much of an opportunity to get photos. They don't tend to hang around 😄

#bee central in Spring at home in #Australia. Native bees love the blue shrub in the backyard. Native bees are tiny but I managed to photo one as it was darting about. We are bee sitting a colony for a friend in the front yard.

Putting your principles first.
In September 1964, the Beatles refused to play the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida, when they learned the crowd would be segregated.
The city backed down.
The show went ahead - integrated.

I want a person at the supermarket checkout, I want a printed menu ( if “front of house” is geared towards the profit and convenience of the café owner, what do you imagine goes on in the kitchen?) If I download an app for everything I do or buy, I will need a phone the size of a shed. No more!

The best piece of news, after a relentless and brutal attempt to destroy a decent person and make an example of her, to scare others to silence. No thanks to the mainstream, which said and did nothing to defend the principle of press freedom and her right to report fact and express an opinion.
