The last animal I ate was in 2014- a fish that my husband had caught off the coast of Oahu. I remember how delicious it was and that while eating it I was acutely aware that it was the last animal I would eat for a very long time. I have not eaten meat for 10 years now (but family members do) and I will never, ever go back to consuming dairy.However, despite not eating meat, I sometimes say that my food philosophy is more in line with some hunters than fellow vegans (which some people might 'get' and others not). I greatly appreciate this post by Frank Holleman. Being willing to have the hard talks and vulnerability discussing consumption, our own food habits and relationship with what we eat.

Yesterday my family & I visited Dom Kultury Świt (one of the oldest community cultural houses in Warsaw) for the first time to enjoy brunch with many of the people working & volunteering there. I met Marta (who you can hear here explaining what is permitted in the compost bin & what is not) a few weeks ago at another cultural house in the city. I noticed her noticing the book I was reading (‘Public Produce: The New Urban Agriculture’) & we struck up a great conversation during which I learned that she worked at Dom Kultury Świt where they have a great community garden.The visit yesterday was lovely, social & relaxing as well as a practical beginning to my ‘garden research’. I documented different aspects of the garden & look forward to returning to interview Marta & those key in maintaining & managing this thriving #communitygarden space. Start where you are! I look forward to learning from diverse examples of community & urban gardening in Poland while we are here 🐝🌱🌱🐝#gardencompost #compost #communitycenter

How is urban heat mitigated in your community? Is the situation with urban heat so terrible that it affects many people's decision to not walk? What are some solutions you are seeing and experiencing to protect pedestrian mobility in urban heat? What are some of the dangers you are seeing or experiencing in your community with little to no protection from #urbanheat? Insight and diverse responses to these questions are exactly the type of content we encourage for the special issue on 'Walkability & Mobility Justice.' Issues of #mobilityjustice are unfortunately numerous and in communities across the world, rising urban heat and lack of protection from it is one such injustice.

Thanks to the invitation of Marta, my family & I joined many of the people working at Dom Kultury Świt today for a Sunday brunch. Not only was it a great place to be on this very hot day in Warsaw (great building with cool interior spaces & so many great tree canopied spaces to relax) but it was also a great opportunity to tour their community garden!! More to come on this 1st time experience here & excited to also kick off my community garden research with interviews of employees & volunteers key in tending to & managing this thriving community garden at one of the oldest Dom Kultury (community houses of culture) in Warsaw. 📹 Brief clip I recorded from impromptu tour of the garden today at Dom Kultury Świt#communitygarden #gardenresearch

Sunday vibes, rolling into an outdoor brunch earlier with the whole family, staying cool on this- I think the hottest day of the month in Warsaw (cooling temps coming this week).Also, my husband gifted me this shopping trolley for Christmas & I have to say it is just brilliant. I’ve encountered a lot of stigma about ‘only old people use those’. Well, I’m not a young one but wow if I had known how great these were earlier I’d have been using them.
