Good morning and welcome to tuna Tuesday Love yourself a little extra right now. You're balancing so much, handling things no one sees, and doing your best. And please remember, even on the days when your best feels like very little, it is still enough.

Caturday...

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday You don’t have to have everything figured out today. Sometimes it’s enough to turn up, be yourself and make somebody smile And if all else fails, find a sunny spot and look important What’s one little thing that would make you smile today

Kurt Lass reposted

Night night sweet dreamies You might not have changed the world today, but perhaps you made someone smile, listened when they needed a friend, or showed a little kindness without giving it a second thought. Sometimes that's how the world changes.

Night night sweet dreamies We all have our doubts our insecurities and those little things that unsettle us But remember, they are only small parts of your story not the whole of who you are Never let the things you struggle with make you forget all the wonderful things you are

Good morning welcome to Tippetty tap tap Thursday I’ve never understood why some people think kindness is a weakness. From where I sit, i see that it takes a rather wonderful sort of strength to remain gentle in a world that isn’t always gentle in return Be kind 🧡

Night night sweet dreamies Some people make the world feel a little softer just by being in it. They may never realise how much their presence means, or how often they’re thought of with affection. If someone came to mind just now, perhaps you should tell them.

Excellent article. No political party or government can magically take us back to the period 1950-1975 of high consistent economic growth. The major parties continue to market a fairy tale they cannot deliver on. The populists simply dial the fantasy up to "11". johnmenadue.com/post/2026/10...

For a few post-war decades, one ordinary wage could buy a house, raise a family and fund retirement. That world was an historical exception, not the economic norm – and politics is breaking itself by promising its return, Kos Samaras writes. #auspol #Economy

Good morning and welcome to Fish For Tea Friday You don’t have to understand everything someone is going through to show them kindness. Sometimes the smallest gesture, a gentle word or a little understanding, can mean more than you’ll ever know. Be kind. Always.

🧡 #WorldMentalHealthDay Everyone has a story, and some chapters are harder than others. You don’t need to fix everything. Sometimes just listening, showing kindness and reminding someone they matter can mean the world. Be gentle with yourself and others. Love, George 🐈❤️

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday 🐾🐈 Life isn’t about hitting every note perfectly. Sometimes the wrong notes make the most wonderful melodies. 🎶 So be brave, have a go, make mistakes and never be afraid to look a little silly.

Trump told the UN he could “annihilate” Iran. He did not explicitly mention nuclear weapons, but the power to order their use rests with one president. The world cannot afford to dismiss the danger, Connie Peck writes. #Iran #NuclearWeapons

pearlsandirritations.comTrump's nuclear threats against Iran must be taken seriouslyTrump stood before the United Nations and threatened to “annihilate” Iran. With the authority to order a nuclear strike resting in the hands of one US president, the consequences of treating such threats as mere bluster could be catastrophic.

Good morning & welcome to Fish For Tea Friday 🐟🐾 When you focus on all the good things you already have, somehow life feels a little fuller. But if you spend too long looking at what’s missing, even everything you have can begin to feel like it isn’t enough.

Plug in solar is not an engineering or safety issue. These issues have been solved. In Australia, it is totally a regulatory issue of overlapping incompatible standards/regulations. This needs to be fixed by the federal government pushing hard to remove the inertia, conflict and finger pointing...

Plug-in solar is already giving renters and apartment dwellers access to cheap renewable power overseas. Australia is now considering how to legalise it, with advocates pushing for a July 2027 deadline, Sophie Vorrath reports. #auspol #Solar #Energy

It is very important to feed wild birds a species specific diet. DO NOT feed Rainbow Lorikeets bread or honey dipped bread. See here for tips... www.burkesbackyard.com.au/fact-sheets/...

This is a moral panic which is strangely unique to the S. hemisphere. N. hemisphere wildlife societies encourage the public to feed wild birds responsibly as it is an important way that people connect to, and value, nature. theconversation.com/backyard-bir...
