Not sure what to say about this year. The snow has been a balm for my frazzled mind, and I know I am lucky to have this. Lots of love and peace to you all πŸ™πŸ½πŸ’š

Hello new followers, I don’t know how you found me. Have a cheetah I saw in Kruger National Park (2019) as a gift before I scurry away again

I’m going to write an alternative (ie nuanced and more accurate) history of Australia’s recent space history. Who’s in?

I just stumbled back onto the playlist I was listening to 5 months ago when I found out he wouldn’t be around much longer, and i had to rush back to Adelaide from Melbourne. 14 amazing years. I miss him so much.

Ok friends, I’ll be in the UK (staying in London but happy to travel by train) in early Sept - would love to catch up with space sustainability folk and futures/foresighting folk who want to talk about how to collab with South Aust - pls drop me a line!

I didn’t take the photos today but in the midst of a hectic day, this weekend’s encounter with bioluminescent fungi made me very happy:
