I'm excited to announce the official Nullschool app is here!

earth.nullschool.net on mobile browsers works fine, but the app is nicer. Full screen display, persistence across sessions, text size that matches device settings. Even landscape works well.

And, like the website: no ads!

It’s all getting quite involved, isn’t it? “You must stack the skulls but not until you’ve had your chit signed by matron. If you’re not having your hair cut, you don’t have to move your brother’s clothes to the lower peg.” #TheTraitors

New graphics from Target Ovarian Cancer just dropped. I’m really keen to spread the word about symptoms, so please share either my post or the graphic. Other common symptoms include fatigue & changes in bowel habits, it can seem like IBS, and there’s no routine screening.

Ten years ago, inspired by the return of my childhood interest in birds, I set myself a target: see 200 British species in a year.

The result was this book.

Through 2026 I’ll be revisiting it, month by month. If you want to join me, just subscribe to my newsletter. levparikian.substack.com

If you’re after something to distract you for the next few days, try this. A grid of 2025 things – all you need to do is put them into 45 categories of 45 things each. Rather restful.

If it carries on like this, the only countries I’ll have unmuted will be San Marino and Palau.
