it’s been quite a week in Cape Town. yesterday was the hottest day in 100 years, and a huge wildfire has been raging on the mountain since Sunday that has left over 4000 hectares of destruction in its wake. if you want to learn more about how fire is actually good for fynbos, head here for an interesting read. fire is, obviously, shit for everyone else though – so you can go here to easily donate to the fire fighters via SnapScan.
meanwhile, here are some distractions.

your M-WD’s are sooo good. Especially as, by Thursday I am usually too tired and unimaginative to find awesome stuff on the internets. Please keep up your awesome work (slash public service)!
I’m so excited to open up these links! I look forward to mid week distractions every single week ;)x
