![4-panel vertical comic. (1) 100 Years Ago [two people standing next to bicycle with small car nearby] PERSON 1: It’s too dangerous riding a bike with these cars around. I should get a car, too. (2) 50 Years Ago [two people between smaller car and bigger car] PERSON 2 with short hair: Small cars are less safe in collisions with larger vehicles, so I should get a bigger one.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

J's mum and dad just returned my copy of The Birth of Sydney after they both read it. Turns out I was using a train ticket as a bookmark when I read it in 2006, but it feels so appropriate to leave it there...

A very close birdy encounter this morning. Thanks Jaclyn Crupi for inspiring me to drink my coffee in the garden like a nonno!
There was a group of at least 4 cockatoos hanging out along with a couple of rainbow lorikeets, but we suspect these two are a bonded pair of escaped pets.

My sister was keen to help out with the quail pen this afternoon, so we redid their sand and mulch then watched about half an hour of quail TV together. I gave her a big bok choy from the garden :D

This Australian Fur Seal is having a nice little snooze. I've watched them do this in a swell, off a rocky shore, by anchoring themselves in floating kelp. The world's biggest fur seal, they mostly eat squid, octopus, fish and lobsters & can dive to 200m. #WildOz #seals #AustralianWildlife

solution: ask artist to license existing artwork (that looks very similar in theme but WAY better) for one-time extremely limited use. Artist agrees. Artist gets paid, author gets non-AI, everybody is happy.
YES you can do this!!! See something you really like from an artist? Ask to license it!

The premier, the poet and the fight to save an extraordinary Australian frog

It’s a story almost too preposterous to believe, starring a group of young uni students, an infamous state premier, a legendary Australian poet and an extinct frog which gave birth by vomiting its young – all at the dawn of the Australian conservation movement.
Yet the tale of the southern gastric-brooding frog, which once inhabited the rainforest streams of the Conondale and Blackall ranges in south-east Queensland, continues to perplex and inspire a new generation of citizen scientists as they hop into FrogID Week. Continue reading...

On a speck of land in the Indian Ocean, one of the world's most ambitious wars is being waged against feral cats. But not everyone is celebrating.
