Anyone have a particular affinity for the smell after rain? It's called petrichor, from Greek origins petros, meaning "stone" and ichor, which means "the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods".

Habeas corpus literally means ‘you shall have the body’ under the law, but what is a body without a clear voice?

Our appetite for beef, dairy and fish is wiping out wild animals, and even threatening our own survival... https://t.co/F3wCcZXzcJ

While Australia battles through the COVID crisis, coked-up shooters wreak havoc on native waterbirds and anyone else in the vicinity. This vile activity is banned elsewhere, only political toxification allows the ongoing barbarism.

Just some of the ways duck shooters have 'contributed' to delicate wetland ecosystems over the weekend. 😡

This is @DanielAndrewsMP's native duck hunting season.

It's only a few days into @DanielAndrewsMP's 'recreational' duck shooting season and already there are reports of camps being set up around waterbird populations — a breach of COVID community safety instructions #BanDuckShooting #SanctuaryNotSlaughter

Peace of mind produces the right values, the right values produce the right thoughts. Right thoughts produce right actions and right actions produce work which will be a material reflection for others to see of the serenity at the center of it all. —Robert Pirsig

Australia's flying foxes need us more than ever.
And few people realise how desperately we need them, too. https://t.co/NmHRXb1hXm

Stop trying to get me to watch Tiger King. I already have to watch one bottle-blonde from reality TV. And the other reason I'm not watching Tiger King is that torturing animals is what got us into this mess. #TigerKing #AnimalCruelty = #Coronavirus

Kandaka has improved significantly! We will continue to provide care for the animals until a long-term solution is found with the wildlife authorities. Currently, a suitable facility for Kandaka does not exist in Sudan ➡ https://t.co/5kDpdZSuan

Despite enduring droughts, fires, and now floods, kangaroos are still being hunted in Australia. It's time to put an end to this for good: https://t.co/Pra9v1LUR3
