What’s stopping you from composting, huh? Lack of space? The smell? Mess? Can’t get enough of store-bought fertiliser? The humble backyard pile might be one of our most vital tools in the fight against climate change but compost suffers a pretty bad rap. To help us dispel some of the common muck, myths and misconceptions, we turned to our friends and compost heroes at @TumbleweedGardening so you can turn over a new pile and get up and composting sooner and more efficiently. Hot tips at the link in our bio! ⁠

“People used to say my smile was my best feature, but my hands are my best features. When I was younger, I used to wear long sleeves all the time but now I’m showing them off because they’re who I am. I think without them, I don’t think I’d have that resilience, that strength. Every time I go through something difficult, I look at my hands. I’m like, ‘Look how far you’ve come.’”⁠

“BFWA has an energy that attracts and warmly invites all to enjoy and participate as it is very important to us to empower individuals to lead the next generation of fashion in Brisbane and to bring fresh, innovative ideas to the scene.”⁠
⁠
Star-studded front rows, eye-wateringly expensive couture and lavish parties – fashion week the world over can often seem like an unattainable dream. And as the discourse around fashion’s broader accessibility reaches fever pitch, fashion week remains by its very design, inaccessible. ⁠
⁠
Founded by Tanya Bali and Kulbinder Singh, Brisbane Fashion Week Australia wants to turn that on its head. Showcasing the best of the river city from 26–30 September, @BrisbaneFashionWeek.Au is built on a foundation of diversity and inclusion to ensure everyone has a seat.

"Like our forests, we burn. Like our storms, we rage. Like our oceans, we rise. Like our planet, we fight back."⁠
⁠
We stand in solidarity with @FridaysForFuture, who are striking globally today, scores of young climate activists returning to the streets for this year's second worldwide youth climate strike. ⁠
⁠
"Together with different sectors of society across the world, led by the most marginalised, let’s bring back the power to the people whose power has been stolen," a statement from Fridays For Future reads. "Together, let’s build a system and home where we prioritise #PeopleNotProfit." More information at the link in our bio. ✊✊✊⁠ ⁠

Esteemed mycologist Dr Keith Seifert loves fungi. And fair enough. They’re essential to life on Earth – from releasing the carbon in plants to that delicious umami flavour we can’t get enough of. Revealing this world and all of its beautiful complexity in his latest book, 'The Hidden Kingdom of Fungi', at the link in our bio, Keith posits how amateur naturalists can contribute to our knowledge of the world’s biodiversity and shares some of the things you can do to future-proof the biodiversity of your area. ⁠

The making of our latest cover...⁠
⁠
A proud reclamation of colonial ethnographic photography and⁠ traditional art history, South Sudanese artist @AtongAtem’s work⁠ is a vibrant celebration of autonomy and community alike. ⁠
⁠
Last year, the Australian Tapestry Workshop (@AusTapestry) created four tapestries featuring the work of Victorian ‘Weaving Futures’ artists – Atong Atem, Troy Emery, Hayley Millar Baker and Eugenia Lim. The ‘Self Portrait in July (4)’ tapestry – which you might recognise from our latest cover – is based on a self-portrait by Atong and was woven by Pamela Joyce. “It has been incredible to think about my work and how it can be translated to a new medium," Atong said. "Working with an experienced weaver like Pamela has meant that I’ve learned many new things about weaving and art-making generally." ⁠
