Hey @HelloFreshAU just pulled yr driver out of a ditch. Unroadworthy van w bald tyres, head office told him to sort out replacement himself, no support. He was v stressed as he couldn’t afford insurance excess other drivers had been forced to pay. Horrific way to treat employees

@PippyChandler I suspect it was something like ‘Gardening Australia- rewatch start of spring vegie garden snippets on YouTube’

@AmeliaHine @milkwoodfarm have a book that includes seaweed w recipes, and @BrennaQuinlan has done a great seaweed foraging zine

@farmingforever These farmers are critical to our local food system and vocal in their climate advocacy, and they’re now completely flooded and going to have a challenging road to rebuild - contributions to their go fund me appreciated! https://t.co/EXkAKI5oR2

Some reflections as I start my last day of work with Open Food Network, on the role of the sacred dance in work and the need to sometimes go and lie down in the soft dewy grass of life to rest and dream https://t.co/jsXc5lrzga

@missrobinson I didn’t even take Latin and yet this phrase is still the one that would come to mind first if someone said they were learning Latin at school

@cathymalexander What was the impact on Shortswatch?

[Jen Sheridan @JenSheridan]

@missrobinson I think someone incorrectly targeted this ad, you’re the second improbable customer I’ve seen on my timeline today! Ping @cathymalexander

@Kate_FitzGibbon Have you considered broadening your survey questions to be more inclusive and accurate? It seems counterproductive to have a survey about gender equality that reduces everything to a two-gender binary (other than the personal demographic questions)

It's not for profit. It's open source. It's a business. It's purpose-first. And women started it. In Australia 🙌

@BelindaReeve I’d suggest getting it formally agreed in writing! A little of that wisdom is from the disappointing experience of someone going back on an informal digital posterity agreement, mere months after completion. A few years of web grey literature development, erased overnight 😕

Diversity is a key feature of resilient food systems – climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, insecure employment, and corporate concentration are exacerbating vulnerabilities in Melbourne’s food system.

The @smh still has the capacity to (pleasantly) surprise. Great comments by @DrRachelCarey on our export-driven food supply, and why Australia can’t take food security for granted.

@1KarenWyld It took me a couple of weeks to adjust my typing (who knew I did so many inefficient workarounds!) but 5 years in I still love it (& the mouse) & wrist pain is gone. As I was learning to use it I tried to focus on learning good wrist position (ie as straight as poss) which helped

[Jen Sheridan @JenSheridan]

@slamup Could it be cold weather rather than the spices? I would have thought spices are fine. Or perhaps some other things they were loving that you’re not putting in as often with seasonal diet change? (Eg they seem to love breeding in avocado skins) https://t.co/vhL4OV2sTz

[Jen Sheridan @JenSheridan]

Always such a pleasure to work with this team, and important findings for our current food system challenges

[Jen Sheridan @JenSheridan]

@annaspargoryan I’ve DMed you a recommendation for a fantastic sports nutritionist who really helped with this very dilemma!
