Satch

Back of packet of rice snacks with animated snack holding a sign saying 'reborn rice'

Upcycled means 'swept up off the factory floor' doesn't it 😄
(Yes I'm still eating them)

An absolutely beautiful warm sunny day today. And thanks to the teacher strike (solidarity) the park is full of kids having a great time rather than cooped up in a classroom

Choc- mint Oreos have catapulted into Top Biscuit Spot. And yes, I am eating biscuits with a 9am cuppa. It's that kind of week

Sitting in the sun having lunch, enjoying the first nice warm day in ages, and now I have to tear myself back inside 😢 to work. Cruel

Book cover, blue watercolour rabbit on white background. Dead Water by C A Fletcher

All huddled up and wrapped in a blanket because of the cold, reading Dead Water. Opening scenes involve ocean free diving and I think I'm colder than the character in the Scottish seas. #speculativefiction #scifi #reading

Sharon I bloody died Sharon. Sharon they sent me to bloody heaven. Where are the bloody flames Sharon. Sharon it’s all bloody choir music up here Sharon. Sharon for fucks sake all the white is bloody blinding me up here Sharon

Book being held, backdrop of pot plant in front of window with rain outside. The book cover is colourful shades of pinks, purples, yellow and black. It reads 'Edited by Mykaela Saunders' at the top, with title 'This All Come Back Now' at the bottom and 'An Anthology of First Nations Speculative Fiction underneath

Rainy day, off work, what else am I going to do other than read this anthology of First Nations speculative fiction? #reading #scifi #speculativefiction

Thunder during winter rain? Sounds very out of place! #winterrain #qld

The joys of working from home. 8:29: oh shit, I'm going to be late to work. Walk into study, fire up computer, ready for work at 8:30.

Great Little story about reciprocity and earth

Today, I finally got ChatGPT to solve a cryptic crossword clue for the first time. It wasn't a particularly tricky one, but still an improvement previous tests. 'Apartments in Tunis resort'

Superb writer. Every word has been carefully placed

Lot of animal product contamination in this list. Yet another benefit of being a #vegan

They found her, alive! Excellent news

Never leave your vehicle #outback

Hand holding up a book, grey-blue waves PERMA FROST SJ Norman

Blue sky, weak winter sun and a stunning book of short stories. #amreading #winter #librarybook

Impossible, all potato is wonderful. A shit potato dish doesn't exist

You know when you make a soup so good that when you're taste testing for seasoning, you find yourself eating spoon after spoon of soup bending over the pan? Yeah, I just made one of those.

Sunday arvo reading in the mild winter sun #amreading

Watching Alestorm's set from A Graspop. They are like a Scottish, pirate, metal Bennies #metal #festival #summerfestival #livemusic #rock #pirate

I'm absolutely going to regret drinking all this mulled wine tomorrow, aren't I?

Found gluwein in the bottle shop earlier. My mulled wine is heavy on citrus but not as much on spice. This gluwein is heavy on spice but no citrus. Combined? 😍

Re-listening to Bob Vylan's 2020 album We Live Here. They were pure punk then, still punk now. Lynch Your Leaders always been an excellent chant, and when a vegan sings about skinning pigs and pulled pork, it's not the farm animal they're referencing

Fucking hate cleaning, but loud death metal helps #benediction #deathmetal #sunday

Just watched The Hu's Hellfest set and fuck me it was good. Oh to be in the crowd rather than in freezing cold Queenland!

Hand holding a book with pot plants in the background. The author name is in orange all caps san serif font at the top JOHN SCALZI. The title is in white text, again all caps san serif font WHEN THE MOON HITS YOUR EYE. The top three quarters of the background is dark night sky with star twinkles, and at the bottom is an astronaut standing on a very cheese looking surface of the moon

Look what I found in the library earlier, the new @scalzi.com but now I have an earworm ... That's amore

Spread this, get yourself barred from entering the USA.

Watching Skindred's Hellfest Paris session and fuck me they're awesome. Reggae-Metal should be more of a thing

Happy winter solstice aka mulled wine day 🌙✨ 🍷 the only thing which makes the cold misery of winter bearable. Well, that and the stunning sunsets
