My second ever poetry gig.. the other was Benjamin Zephaniah.
I've booked tickets for Poetry at The Cut: Naomi Jaffa & Michael Laskey ONLINE TICKETS at Online on Thursday 7th May 2026 www.ticketsource.com/event/EGFMDM...
Conferences rock! Not for the decor, snacks, or presentation skills, though obviously semi competence is required. It's for the craic and hearing about the awesome papers I failed to read that year. And, purely coincidentally, going to Europe so I see my mum in Sheffield afterwards and buy marmite.
Autumn findings, bunny orchids, the last Christmas spiders, a very unfortunate kangaroo, and an old man banksia cone
Happy Easter. I love this. All day I will be annoying those around me by saying 'i am a horse and I would like to eat cake'
I'm thinking about it
Time to tax fossil fuel exports and cut subsidies for producers (and secure affordable national supplies while we transition to clean energy quickly).
War profiteering is not a good look….
Let’s not waste this crisis, and finally electrify for a resilient and clean future. The best time was 5 years ago the second best time is now!!
Fence dwelling spider. #auswildlife
Exactly. There are also huge cultural appropriation issues with generating art images with ai. But it seems nothing can be done.
I didn't usually share my own papers but just saw an atrocious ai generated article that completely misrepresents this one. And apparently there is nothing to be done. So here it is if you want to know what we actually found. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #murujuga #geosciences #australia
The cold seals are back baby! After many months of fume cupboard replacement chaos. Let's hope the current fuckwit-led and sycophant-enabled (talking to you #albo) chaos ends a lot sooner
Possums I suppose..
Our first avocado to make it to half grown.. will it make it? Will we get to eat it? The future is unknown.
Golden Gate Beach, West Cape Howe National Park, well worth the walk. Also there were bonus mylonites.
Angus Taylor says party on track for Net Zero women by 2040
"Our focus is on reducing women in the House of Reps, but we're on track also reduce our female vote to zero too."

EIC handover for the journal of metamorphic geology. Big thanks to Dick White and all past and current editors, associate editors, and the editorial board #geosciences
If there is one thing better than one microscope it's two plus Louisa
I know! They also get in the watering can and block up the spout. It's surprising how large a frog can fit through a small hole.

Yes, I want to buy music, not stream and can do it with Qobuz. I don't have a subscription. I use musicolet as the player.
A festive fire-tailed finch #ozbirds #ozwildlife
The willy wagtails are vehemently claiming the shed from the dog, who is channeling her best Disney princess. I hope they raise their chicks successfully #auswildlife
I still have no idea of the difference between #altcountry and #country music but the breezy and fabulous #newfarmnewcountry festival reminded me how great and important live music and musicians are. Stuff AI, choose live music and good snacks
I wish there was a way to unread books so I could read them again for the first time
I was close to what was described as the best preserved komatiite in the galaxy but sadly ran out of time before I found the good outcrop. Still, a treat to see some talcy goodness and contemplate early Earth #geosciences #ozgeology #geology
Donkey orchids are out in the Great Southern. #ozflora
Heavy mineral sand bands forming and reforming. Hypnotic. #geology #geosciences dog for scale.
But yes I like the ibis too, but there are a lot of them so we didn't appreciate them as they deserve
