You may not have heard of them if you don’t dabble in news from the Arctic, but trust me: The Barents Observer is an important, serious news source. You can’t understand today’s Arctic without it. And so of course it’s under near constant attack…

I know journalists aren't advocates, but I do think stories about high gas prices should at least mention American car dependency. It's relevant because we have an administration that has made entrenching car dependency part of its transportation policy! They are pro-car and anti-transit/anti-bike.

Moth transits! I've been loving the Bogong moth resurgence in 2026, took a chance to capture a few of the many, many moths around Sydney passing in front of the Sun, like furry space stations! ASI585MM @90fps, 100-400mm lens at 300mm, focus shifted slightly between Sun and transiting moths.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 8260: Whatever genre you write, read folklore. Folklore exists because at some point, people cared so much about a certain thing that they put it into a story, and passed it down the centuries in order to keep it alive. That deserves attention.

As though the problem had nothing to do with overpopulation of rich humans, or climate change. They pay a ton so they shouldn’t have mosquitoes. This is their argument.

But now, having emerged from the post-workshop coma, and been shaken back to reality by the HS students, we’re returning back to life. Have had ppl over for simple meals 2x this week. Feels like I’m getting back parts of my brain and my soul. Having ppl over is essential to wellbeing!
