Left-wing, AuDH(not Disordered), queer, arty and music-loving. I like my dogs more than I do most people and I crochet things.

Iced water, lemon slices, raspberries and strawberries in my Yeti sippy bottle. Delicious!

A close up from above of a red, insulated water bottle, with fruit pieces floating on top. The lid, with an attached straw, is sitting to the left. The table is a steel frame, and the top is made of timber.

Whenever someone asks for a recipe at work:
Text reads: My husband: That was delicious! Ca you make it again? Me: I read 5 recipes, didn’t use a single measuring spoon, and improvised for the ingredients we didn’t have. So, probably not.

She may be the baby of the family, but Gemma is a magnificent big girl.

A large South African mastiff dog is sitting on the black cushions of a wooden daybed. She has golden brindle fur, a large, white, irregular-shaped blaze on her chest and pale amber eyes. Something has caught her attention. She is upright and alert, with a furrowed brow and her V-shaped ears semi-erect, as she looks out to the left of the photo.

It’s been a year today since our mini muscle man tried unsuccessfully to bite the tyre of a moving vehicle.

Vincenzo Guido was the naughtiest of dogs, but you had to love him - he demanded it and resistance was futile.

I miss you, Vinnie.

The tan-coloured face of a jack russell, peeking out from a dark green knitted blanket. The head of a tri-coloured Jack Russell Terrier, wearing a red and white collar. He is sleeping on a multicoloured crocheted blanket, and his top lip is curled back, showing his front teeth. A tricoloured Jack Russell terrier is sitting on my lap while I’m weaving. He is wearing a red collar and is looking out to the left of the camera. There is green fabric on my loom on the right, and on the wall in the background, there are two frame drums and two ukuleles. A tricolour jack russell terrier wearing a red collar is sleeping on a dark green knitted blanket that is covering a black leather couch. There is a small grey tabby kitten, awake and lying on its back, between the dog’s legs.

Screenshot of weather forecast, from the Bureau of Meteorology. It reads “Ardlethan, NSW. 34.5 degrees Celcius. 35 degrees maximum, 21 degrees overnight minimum. No rain.”

No rain, you say?

Meteorology is more art than science. It’s one of those rare jobs where you can be consistently wrong and get away with it.

Glad I bothered to back the bike all the way undercover today…

This is Murray. He’s three years old, the smartest, bestest boy ever and has motor neurone disease. Who even knew that dogs got MND?? He’s wobbly and goofy, his tongue hangs out most of the time and nobody has ever loved a dog as much as I love this dog.
#bordercollie #mnd #freckleface #goodestboy
I have my arm around a short haired border collie, with my face pressed against his head. His ear is covering my right eye. I am wearing a checked shirt, a silver chain and dark red spectacles. I have short, copper coloured hair that is messy. I’m smiling and we are both looking at the camera.

Emotional Support Chicken ©️ No. 2 is complete.
It was easier and looks better.
I understood the pattern this time, the short rows are a bit neater.
Gifted to Macka.
Bgerk.
(Variations to pattern listed in Comments)
#EmotionalSupportChicken #TheKnittingTreeLA #CluckCluck #PracticeMakesProgress
The side view of a crocheted brooding (seated) chicken toy, from the official Emotional Support Chicken pattern, designed by Annette Corsino. The colour changes are gradual, in muted rainbow colours, and created by the colour-changing yarn. It has beady little inset safety eyes. The same crocheted chicken stuffy from the front.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a hero who would sacrifice himself to save his country.

Donald Trump is a turd who would sacrifice his country to save himself.

Sunset with dogs.

#BorderCollie #Boerboel #CountryLiving #LifeOnTheFarm
There is a short haired border collie and a golden brindle boerboel on a patch of lawn. Beyond the grass is a field of dry wheat stalks, left over from harvest, and the golden sky has streaky bands of purple and red cloud that are reflecting the sunset. The scene is framed by silhouetted trees.

The women in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics exist and will be heard.

These screenshots were taken from the Making Sense of Science page, over on a Meta platform.

I will add the others in the comments tomorrow.
Screenshot from Making Sense of Science instagram account says “Female scientists are having their information deleted from government websites. Good news, though: Women in STEM aren’t having any of it.” There are three emoji hands pointing to the right, indicating further images to come. From Rosa D Lune: Well, my bio just got removed from the NASA site because of an order that went out to remove stuff about women in STEM. I’ve only been on Threads for a full year, so a lot of people here never heard of a feature that NASA did on me talking about my love of the Moon, how I grew up in poverty, then my homelessness in the US, and then me being at NASA itself. That’s how easy it is to erase you as a person,and everything you’ve done. I’m not even sure how I feel right now. From radical.rachel.love: After hearing about this I checked the NIH website and the NIH Workforce Diversity Success Story about me and my company is no longer there. “403 Access Denied”. Below this is a screenshot of what the National Institute of Neuroligical Disorders and Stroke website used to look like. There is a photo of Rachel. She has dark hair, parted on her right and pulled back off her face. She is wearing an orange blazer over a plain black scoop neck top, with a rustic-looking silver necklace. It has the heading of “Success Stories: Rachel Dreilinger”. Beside the photo, to the right, it says Rachel Dreilinger Co-founder and CEO NeuraMedica Inc. www.NeuraMedica.com Principal Investigator From dmpineda2: Ok. I saw a post from someone at NAS whose bio was erased [because] some fragile male egos are threatened by women in STEM. So I bought the domain WomenInStem.US Who’d like to help crowdsource a website where we can house all the stories of women in STEN being censored? The image finishes with “Fuck the patriarchy”, with the swearing barely scribbled out.

I made an Emotional Support Chicken ©️.

It’s a wonky chook, and I find it disconcerting.

I will make another and hopefully get it right.

Not only have I kept this peperomia plant alive for more than a year, it has actually produced three flower spikes!

It was a gift from my bestie, Katherine. That’s probably why it’s survived longer than any indoor plant I’ve ever owned.
A houseplant with large, glossy, rounded leaves in a red and black ceramic pot is sitting outside on cement paving. It has an identification tag stuck in the soil on the right hand side.

Bug has taken to draping himself across my pillow and head. As long as *he’s* comfortable, I guess…
#Kelpie #Lightning #MyNewHat #TooHotForFur
Part of my face is on the right. I’m lying in bed, hugging a dark grey pillow, with my head on a light grey pillow. Across the top of my bed, sleeping on the same pillow I’m resting my head upon, is a small black and tan kelpie dog.

Sharing is caring. #kelpie #boerboel #farmdogs
The photo shows a large stainless steel bucket with a handle, on a concrete verandah. There are two dogs drinking from it: A small, black kelpie with brown eyebrows, and a much larger golden brindle boerboel. There is grass and a bottlebrush tree in the background.

Murray and I can hear Gemma and Bug barking up near the dam. He’s excited to go looking for them, because he knows they’ll get in trouble for running off into the paddock. He’s a bit of a bastard.

The lower third is a dirt road and harvested field in near-darkness. The upper two thirds show the sky just after the sun has set. There’s an orange glow along the horizon, blending into blue at the top of the photo. A tiny crescent moon and one star are in the centre, and there are silhouettes of pine trees and eucalypts on the edges of the scene. My border collie is barely visible in the distance.

There’s no alone time when you have pets. Not even in the smallest room in the house.

Photo is taken by Andy while she sits on the toilet. It shows just her knees in black trousers and is modest. She has a mastiff dog’s head resting on her left knee, while a kelpie and border collie lie on the floor, to the right. The kelpie and mastiff are looking up at her.
