I love how the edges of this hellebore flower are a hot pink against the otherwise white of the rest of the flower. This is a double with very ruffled edge inner petals. In the background against the soil are Douglas fir pine cones and pine needles

I plopped this iris into a large planter years ago. It and others come back year after year. The contrast between the yellow and purple is striking.

Took a little time out today to walk my garden and look for things coming back to life and blooming.
1st photo is Helleborus Winter Jewels 'Picotee Pearl'

Terrible shame!

PS I still see the Banksia men in those plants. I used to pick them and show my students who were newcomers to Australia + the Mae Gibbs illustrations. Now they get to do online self teaching courses with no humans who care.

Oh I am sorry, that is absolutely devastating

I think I got mine for my 9th birthday. I tried presenting a book report on it but I went on so long that the teacher had to cut me off

I have the exact same edition!

america's law-following lou on X: "the national parks system makes up about 0.004% of the federal budget and is (by far) the best thing american government has ever achieved. the decision to destroy the crown jewels of our country to save what amounts to effectively no money is fucking insane"

The destruction is the point.

From Ukraine to Maine, defenders of democracy are standing up and speaking out. And the people are responding. My write-up on the state of the resistance: https://buff.ly/3ETGLVZ

Awareness, understandings, and teaching practices surrounding academic oracy in university preparation pathways University preparation pathways are an important equity mechanism for opening access to higher education to under-represented students. A vital focus of pathways education is on the academic litera...

New paper in @herdjournal.bsky.social with Marion Heron & @sallybaker.bsky.social. We explore the role (or lack thereof) of academic oracy (academic speaking and listening) in enabling education / pathways in Australia.

OPEN ACCESS:

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.”

Sociopathic.

I don't believe in Hell, but if I did I would die happy knowing there was a special seating section for anyone currently railing against "the sin of empathy," and every one of those seats is made with hot rusty barbs

Would a little more epistemological humility help Higher Education in the current climate? A simple idea with a complicated name.

Discussed in my recent books:

How to Mend a University.
Reclaiming the Teaching Discourse in Higher Education.

Just a thought
🙂

Pity it's at such a corrupt university

This is what true politicization of the DoJ looks like.

Thanks for having me in this book!

Reclaiming the Teaching Discourse in Higher Education

Just got my copy from the publishers.

Hope you find some interesting ideas in the chapters

🙂

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT

Tabby power!

I did an event in IN a few weeks ago where I said that on 1/6/21 Mike Pence saved the country (for now) by being one of very very few who stood by his principles under maximum threat.
