The 12yo has decided it’s time we celebrated Mouse Opossum Awareness Day!

There are several species of very sweet looking South and Central American marsupials with prehensile tails and dark marks around their eyes. Check them out!

It bundles together during the day & its appearance has been likened to baked beans. At night it comes alive & goes wandering; though generally attached to rock, seagrasses & kelp, it can detach its pedestal disk & creep along the seabed, climb sea grasses or algae to find better places to hunt prey

wandering sea anemone or swimming anemone, is a species of venomous sea anemone in the family Actiniidae native to sheltered reefs of shallow seas around Australia & New Zealand/Aotearoa. They are covered in bubble like sacks in a variety of colours (including pink!) with lighter coloured tentacles.

This is my hand-printed Lino block print of a wandering sea anemone (Phlyctenactis tuberculosa) on 8” x 10” Japanese mulberry paper. The anemone has been likened to a pile of baked beans; it appears like a jumble of mainly ovoid shapes in hot pink with some in white against a background which is a gradient of gold at the bottom to dark teal on top to indicate the seafloor under ocean. The texture and shadows on the animal are overprinted in grey.

My son spontaneously started this project where he’s claiming otherwise unclaimed days and declaring an animal awareness day for unusual and lesser known animals.

It’s got me thinking about lesser known animals in my portfolio, like this wandering anemone. Phlyctenactis tuberculosa, 🧪🐡 the …

I WAS TOLD WE’D SAIL FOR AMERICAN GOLD

The maritimer husband has turned the maritimeness up to 11 and has gone from playing Roy Hines to Alan Doyle to Stan Rogers this morning.

Thanks!

That’s one of the reasons I make the prints: to bring them some well earned recognition because they are not well known.

Thanks!

For #InternationalWomensDay I’m sharing my ongoing series of women in science through history. I’m now at 79.

Here’s to the day a scientist’s sex is no longer remarkable in any field.

Since last year I have added these 12 #linocut prints.

I’ve been watching a different lady on Instagram who is trying to grow a dress starting with flax who has recently realized that this is way more than a one year project.

Hello! One month from today I’m releasing my new book about our majestic universe, which thinks with poetry, quantum physics, relativity, Zhou kingdom philosophy, galaxies, particles, Akan aphorisms, Black feminism, Star Trek, Alice in Wonderland. AND it’s for all readers. 📚💙

Please preorder it! 🧵

Much appreciated!

Apparently there are a lot of comments from people with the same problem on Apple forums so we’re hoping a software update can allow us to make this the default.

Like when we checked with Apple Support it helpfully suggested just using the menus to switch the output to the HomePod but she can see them.

All we want to do is to make it default to playing on the HomePod if nearby but it fights with auto answer.

Frustratingly she can have either auto answer or voice control but not both.

Thank you!

She’s only got the one cell phone at the moment but that might be something to consider. Thanks!

Yes, we did recently add that, thanks!

leaving the iPhone on full volume on speaker phone.

Maybe we can pair her hearing aids to the phone but she doesn’t know anything about them and we couldn’t even find a model number on them, so it’s just a series of nested problems.

have to press any buttons. But that means it won’t play on the HomePod and the only way to get it to do so would require her to use menus on the phone which she struggles to see and touch- and frankly she’s unlikely to remember how.

The defeats the whole point for us. So far we’ve resorted to

We got her an Apple HomePod which is helping with the phone. She can ask Siri to call me without having to manipulate the phone. My voice automatically goes on the speaker which is loud enough for her to hear.

However incoming calls are a problem. We set up her phone to auto answer so she doesn’t

We’re trying to find accessible solutions for my mother’s tech needs.

She’s 82, loosing her sight and hearing, has arthritis in her hands and learning new skills is now tough for her.

It’s frustrating because nothing seems to deal with her combination of issues (not infrequent for seniors).

There’s a virtual exhibit tour here of my southern Ontario plants and pollinators show:

Thanks! You can see some prints about southern Ontario plants and pollinators on minouette.Etsy.com and there’s a tour of my show about pollinators featuring native flora and fauna at Manufactured Ecosystems which I can link below

Her resulting monograph ranks amongst the most

In 1953 she published her first book. She went on to publish 6 monographs & more than 250 papers! In 1954 she joined the Stekov Institute mathematical physics laboratory & became its head in 1961. By the mid-50s she was working on problems in fluid dynamics, a particularly mathematically-challenging

Sometimes she slept on the auditorium benches, joking that she was learning through osmosis by using her books as a pillow.

Her marriage was loving but brief; he wanted kids but she wanted to devote her life to math. She completed her PhD with Sobolev (’51, Leningrad) & met Smirnov.

College. During the war she taught at an orphanage at Godorets then in Kologriv. A grateful mother interceded on her behalf & she got an opportunity to study at Moscow. She was awarded a Stalin stipend (despite her family history) & ration card so she could survive, but was often hungry.
