Ohhh I love this!!!

I "made" @birdmichael.bsky.social come to the Western Treatment Plant with me on a workday to look for brolgas and orange-bellied parrots so I could write this article

I think I saw that at KBS and that's what I'm thinking of. Also your modelling paper on JoPH? Although maybe that was all polarisation I can't remember

Ha, I am just citing this lifespan one in a revision, very timely plug

How do we square this with all the survey data showing big jumps in drinking since covid that have not subsequently dropped off?

(I'm back on bluesky just to ask you this, because it didn't feel worth an email)

Satin Bowerbird!

Rufous owl!

Darwin day off really delivered

I'm merely a weird Aus Lit hanger on!

Indeedy

We were even southside!

Laura is basically the loveliest person in the world and also an incredible goddamn writer, how???

this is good shit

Thrilled to be at the launch of Laura Elvery's incredible debut novel - highly recommend it and both her short story collections

Probably worth mentioning again that I ran a marathon, and a pretty damn good one (3:19!!)

A group of runners, focussed on a man in a black shirt and shorts looking skywards with a grin on his face

I've drifted back to the bad site for the past month or so, but I'm gonna try to return here more regularly. Mostly I just wanted another place to post this photo of me distracted by a goshawk during the Ballarat marathon

Oh nice!! I'm in for the half, should be fun!!

Elites! I wore them for GC last year and have been trying to ration them out until Ballarat, but some mornings you need extra motivation for the track

My race shoes that I should be saving! Puma deviates

No cat can resist the charms of the lap

I don't make the rules! At least we got standing rests

Pleased to report that my special shoes helped me through 15 x 400m reps this morning, including my fastest ever 400! (pleased to report I'm *just* inside twice the world record pace!)

Me packing my race shoes for tomorrow's track sesh and I once again have this song in my head

A systematic review of adolescent alcohol‐related harm trends in high‐income countries with declines in adolescent consumption Background and Aims Adolescent alcohol consumption decreased in high-income countries during the 2000s and 2010s. While evidence for declining consumption is clear, there has been less research trac.....
