War of the Worlds landscape?...

I am currently watching Howard Overman's adaptation of 'War of the Worlds' - Thursday night series on SBS, Australia. Somehow your landscape in this scene seems the perfect setting for a dystopian sci-fi. Fantastic.

The TV series was released in 2019. The film is set in contemporary France.

human library...

DID YOU KNOW in some countries there are libraries where you can ′′ borrow ′′ a person, instead of a book.
Launched in Denmark, you can borrow a person for half an hour and hear their story. Tasmania has a permanent human library.https://t.co/PXkXSnWUxh pic.twitter.com/h6LLBVkOge

Again in Tasmania, the Hobart human library delivers diversity education workshops in schools and workplaces to address discrimination and bullying through the power of personal storytelling. https://t.co/FXH8JXgiK0

In the midst of my never-ending stress
(school wanting more and more immediate data on struggling students),
I have to keep a focus on some beautiful moments...such as this one...

storm starlings...

There's a wonderful, vibrant energy, a sense of movement in this linocut. Swirls and waves and shadows... Stunning. https://t.co/12zmKPMzaJ
