Wonderful to see Australian literary icon @firecatz.bsky.social at Turanga library today, sharing her genius and generally being an inspiration.

It is February 28 tomorrow.

This means a total and complete economic blackout.

This means buying nothing.

AT ALL

Not even your coffee!

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

A library talk and a bookshop signing in the little coastal town that is the home of my heart.

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.

I looked up what a group of Blue Jays is called, which is a "party" or "band." So here is a party of Blue Jays. (They do seem to like partying it up and causing a ruckus. I could see "a ruckus of Blue Jays" as a group name working too.)

Come for a drive down the coast on Sunday and see Nick and I talk about books movies and reveal our lovely origin story, and possibly a few other secrets. Afterwards you can buy books for Christmas with a glass of bubbly in your hand. What's not to like about that?

Thirty five minutes left if you want to bid for one of the 30 unique kites in the Hope Flies project. Whatever you do, don't leave it till the last minute because I will shut my computer at the stroke of midnight Brisbane time!

Early in my transition from the place that rhymes with hex, to 🦋 I encountered the talented & inspiring @stonkers.bsky.social Unwittingly she gave me a New Year’s resolution (the only one I’ve ever managed to retain beyond 6wks). Each day I embroider a symbol or image. #pizzalike #embroidery
