If people are seeking out bluer skies, you can find me there - same username as here. I hope to see y'all there.

@DubiousCA Aaaaa you look amazing, cousin! <3 Love that colour on you and it is such a pretty outfit! I hope you had a wonderful time!

Not to brag or anything but it is genuinely SUCH a great experience knowing you are one of the absolute best dressed people in a room

It's hot out there. Don't forget your (Ink) Cap. 🧢 Coprinus comatus, also known as the Shaggy Ink Cap, curiously turn black and dissolve themselves in a matter of hours after being picked or depositing spores. 📷 | liznoble via @inaturalist / @atlaslivingaust #FungiFriday

Be more wombat. ✨ If you're looking for a New Year's resolution that sticks, might we suggest looking to the iconic wombat? Wombats know the recipe for a good life include plenty of naps, eating well, snuggling often, and loving yourself the way you are. #WombatWednesday

CSIRO presents- Interview with the Bovine! drive.google.com/file/d/1nHhJ... Watch me and my coworker interview a (fake) cow onstage in front of a live audience at the AgCatalyst Expo! @AnimalScienceAU

Happy to answer any questions re the team and what software we use. CSIRO is very trans-friendly, and has a great workplace culture. They're looking ideally for someone to move to Townsville or Darwin, so if you like tropical beaches and cows, this is for you!

We're looking for a livestock systems scientist here at CSIRO! Offer is open to domestic and international candidates, so if you know of anyone who might want to move down here, please signal boost. It's a great team to be on! jobs.csiro.au/job/Brisbane...

@CSIRO Rosetti bought a wombat he called Top that lived in his London home, nibbling his plants and the trouser legs of visiting artists. He's one of the favourite characters in my book! blackincbooks.com.au/books/marsupia…

"A Joy, a Triumph, a Delight". ❤️ 19th century artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti was obsessed with wombats! He used to spend hours at the wombat enclosure in the London Zoo and called them "the most beautiful of God’s creatures". 📹 | brindabella_the_wombat via IG #WombatWednesday

Just got my citizenship ceremony scheduled - Oct 28th I officially become an Australian citizen!

‼️Incredibly, 61% of adults are unaware that the ACA prohibits insurers from denying coverage to people with preexisting conditions, and 69% don’t know that the ACA also prevents sick people from being charged higher premiums than healthy people. EDUCATE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!

@ask_aubry 😆

This is apparently something a lot of folx (esp. BIPOC) needed to hear, so I'm posting it again & will keep on RTing it cuz I never want any marginalized writer to feel like if they can't do it like Stephen King or Thoreau, they're not a real writer. NOPE twitter.com/tinytempest/st…

My pretty girl Michaelangelo and her ghost stripes 💕

Today my HVAC guy taught me how to be a better physician. As you know, it’s stinking hot in Edmonton right now, and though the heat doesn’t bother me much, we are a family of Vikings and it’s my job to help my ginger spawn survive. Cue the ominous silence from our AC unit.

With four days remaining before voting is closed, a final plea: please vote for the October Daye books for Best Series. The irony of a series that began because I couldn't figure out how else to make a living off a folklore degree and a thesis about "Tam Lin" would be glorious.

"their immune system may no longer be responding optimally to new challenges." Remember the millions of social media posts asking why so many people are sick all the time? This. This is why so many people are sick all the time.

For most, polio was asymptomatic but… “…polio survivors face the threat of new disabilities 15-40 years after their original illness, which could leave them using wheelchairs or ventilators…” Why are people so sure SARS2 won’t do the same? #LongCovid marchofdimes.org/about/news/aft…

2 way masking is ALWAYS better. Please try to encourage others to mask, especially now that soem people are getting Covid yet again & news covers it.
