Lovely to read this again. Meanwhile, Torres Straight Islanders recently took the Australian Federal Government to court, claiming they were owed a duty of care with respect to climate change by the Australian government. The judge was sympathetic, but the court case was lost.

I have pretty much lost hope in these matters, to be honest

Ha! I just yesterday learned about Jason deCaires Taylor, while doing research on artificial reefs, and now here he is again. I love the way the natural world so quickly reclaims man-made stuff. It should keep us humble. Ozymandias is perfect.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post. You are the first person to know of deCaires Taylor - how is it that such immense and wonderful achievement isn't talked about more? When I wrote to his studio for image copyright, I said there should be a Nobel Prize for creative work with messaging and effect of this scale!

Thank you for reading ❤️!

I am surprised every time someone reads my posts, never sure if anyone might care about the topics that so randomly drive me. And they're always too long!

These words bring me so much joy! Thank you! I actually wanted to reply in detail to something you wrote which particularly resonated, but felt too exposing to do so! 🙈🙈🙈
