One of us had a sudden, humbling realisation this week… and it involved babies, friendship, and a very overdue apology.

The other one had a few thoughts about what new parents actually need from you (hint: it’s not another tiny outfit with 400 press stud buttons).

One of us is still grieving a certain era we were meant to have… which was rudely sabotaged by the other.

Briony pointed out that Aussies will renounce their stance on renewables if there are rebates up for grabs.

Molly appreciated the ego boost when AI thought she was Reese Witherspoon.

We time-travelled back to our trip to China, where we nearly got trafficked or cast in a powdered milk ad…the details are still unclear.

We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go.

“In every way that we can, we should be reducing our dependence on fossil fuels … whether it’s changing the transport system for the delivery of goods, food and services around Australia to electrified railway systems. Or even only reducing our own dependence through the introduction of electric vehicles and so on and so forth.”
