Wonderful to see Australian literary icon @firecatz.bsky.social at Turanga library today, sharing her genius and generally being an inspiration.

This means a total and complete economic blackout.
This means buying nothing.
AT ALL
Not even your coffee!
Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

A library talk and a bookshop signing in the little coastal town that is the home of my heart.

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.

Fierce winds drive off snow and ice from the peaks of Paine Grande in Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park. There is a whole world of drama and grandeur to be found far above in the peaks of mountains, and especially so for Patagonia!
A moment of sublime beauty as heavy clouds slowly lift, unveiling the majesty that lurks behind. Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia, Chile.
A moment of unspeakable beauty as the last light of day touches churning clouds rushing over the jagged cliff faces of South Africa's Table Mountain.
For me there is nothing as beautiful as mountains emerging behind clearing clouds. It is magical and ethereal, and can be so in infinitely many ways. Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia.
A few reasons why I love clouds! 😊

I looked up what a group of Blue Jays is called, which is a "party" or "band." So here is a party of Blue Jays. (They do seem to like partying it up and causing a ruckus. I could see "a ruckus of Blue Jays" as a group name working too.)

CARTOONS OF THE DAY 🫤
(Cartoonists are rallying around @anntelnaes.bsky.social as she leaves the @washingtonpost.com )
I head to Western Australia on January 11 and I have a number of events during the week in Perth and down the coast. I will post all of the events here today and repost them again just before each event. events.humanitix.com/words-with-w...

Come for a drive down the coast on Sunday and see Nick and I talk about books movies and reveal our lovely origin story, and possibly a few other secrets. Afterwards you can buy books for Christmas with a glass of bubbly in your hand. What's not to like about that?

Thirty five minutes left if you want to bid for one of the 30 unique kites in the Hope Flies project. Whatever you do, don't leave it till the last minute because I will shut my computer at the stroke of midnight Brisbane time!

I am in Canberra.
How to be embarrassed by your luggage- look weird and then have luggage come out that people watch to see who gets it and you know they are thinking of COURSE that's her bag
Here’s a little festive mix of some holiday faves I made a couple of years back for The Voice of Cassandre radio show - www.mixcloud.com/greggringo/n...

As of today all of the kites are on display at Gorman house F Gallery - they look completely amazing- if you go in today you can talk to kite maker Al Phemister who's red kite started it all or tomorrow you can talk to Paul Summerfield, who is also a kite maker and will be there tomorrow.

Early in my transition from the place that rhymes with hex, to 🦋 I encountered the talented & inspiring @stonkers.bsky.social Unwittingly she gave me a New Year’s resolution (the only one I’ve ever managed to retain beyond 6wks). Each day I embroider a symbol or image. #pizzalike #embroidery

A very funny very rude friend sent this after I sent her a picture of me walking in ancient dog on the beach. You have to admit…
