etsy faves

I could spend days on etsy. I love the stuff on the site and the way the site works. You can find one thing you like, then search that shop, that site's favourites, other people's sites who also love the item... a never ending trail of inspiration. Here is a quick screen-grab of some of my current faves. So pretty.

good listeners

balmes babies (2010)

What a beautiful movie. Babies from USA, Mongolia, Japan and Africa. No other movie I've seen warrants so many "ooh"s and "aaah"s. Here are a few scenes below.

stop animal cruelty

Many aussies will know about the recent hype around live cattle export (to Indonesia in particular), and the 4 corners special that aired on the subject. I only watched one short video online and it had me so upset watching the treatment of this poor cow named Dudley. I am aware that some people view cattle as dumb, but some people are also dumb, it doesn't change the way they feel pain. All living things feel emotion, and justifying animal torture because of economics or political reasons is sickening. I think that as humans it is our responsibility to look after animals and nature, not to exploit and abuse it.
I normally try to post beautiful, inspiring things, but try as I might, there are some things I just can't ignore.

it feels like a party

whenever there are balloons, or whenever there are steel drums playing.
