Shanna's World ~Live and Let Live @jami-jam.bsky.social · Aug 11

#animals #love #kindness #nature I love animals of all kinds. I believe the Golden rule applies to more than humans, but all living things. All animals were created for a purpose. Preserve and protect them and their habitats. For what is man without the sound of birds singing and all animals....

Well, I prefer a few snacks and smaller breakfast, lunch, and dinner portions! 😉

While on holiday last week, I listened to the audiobook of 'Entitled', all about Prince Andrew and Fergie. No surprise Andrew's mates dubbed him 'Randy Andy' - he makes Benny Hill look like Cliff Richard.

"It took more than an hour after the story broke, and was covered by several mastheads, to receive official notice from MUP; a group email confirming Meanjin’s immediate closure." ~Emma Sutherland, Archives Editor at Meanjin in @artshub.bsky.social this weekend.

I was the Archives Editor at Meanjin – its closure is baffling

As Archives Editor, Emma Sutherland had ‘read everything’ in Meanjin's past, but was unprepared for its troubled present.

On my road trip, I saw lots of birds tucking into roadkill. Mainly crows, but a few hawks, and one eagle. It was an incredible sight, so much larger than the other birds, and looked like it could fly off with the dead animal in its claw!
