as is tradition on ✨free friday weekends✨, the Secret Menu of the shop is public from now until sunday night if you are new, this is the place where we list either niche stuff, or the most deranged ideas people in this community ask to be made into shirts have fun artbymox.shop/collections/...

Coralloid roots are produced by cycads & are found just at the soil surface (these have been excavated from loose sand). The coralloid roots have a distinctive coral-like shape & host the commensal cyanobacteria that fix nitrogen. These are Zamia furfuracea. #Zamiaceae #cycad #root #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Oh this is quite lovely :)

Aerial roots can also be used for climbing. Epipremnum aureum produces two kinds of aerial roots: Short holdfast roots that clasp the trunk on which it’s climbing and long, absorbing roots that seek out moisture & may even grow to the ground. #Araceae #aroid #root #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

good to hear of overseas projects like this being undertaken with iwi guidance, & that the rocks received karakia before the public exhibition 🙏 samples were collected from Te Ika-a-Māui with permission from mana whenua. it was also promised they would be returned. on ya Bristol team. #AlwaysSacred

With so much media and history vanishing, these kinds of lay archives are essential; if our society is not going to invest in us, we need to invest in ourselves.

This is fascinating! Triploid!

Well, I guess this is my first ever piece of breaking news - probably the biggest rare plant story in Australia this year. Over at @tasinquirer.bsky.social. tasmanianinquirer.com.au/news/very-ex...

little reminder that I have made a (very well reviewed) tarot deck using linoprinting and ✨absolutely zero A/I✨, & I'm moving house soon, so if you could buy some decks I'll have fewer boxes to move! #tarot shop.frankduffy.co.uk/franks-slow-...

Did you ever read @aliceaforethought.bsky.social and @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social's article on how RuPaul's Drag Race is a legal system, and how drag can queer (or "drag up") legal institutions, aesthetics, and norms? It's a camp old time! Read below: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

🌈 Very excited to share my new article with @barrieshannon.com in the Australian Journal of Political Science ‘Mainstreaming LGBTQIA+ hate: the far right’s anti-gender countermovement in Australia’ url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/q4GHCROND2...

This is a fascinating read about the realities of working in commercial shipping out of the US.

So, Adam Liaw’s red curry barramundi recipe. It’s solid stuff. My notes: 1. I added more fish, 500g rather than 300g. Worked. 2. It’s very mild. Add 2x red curry paste. Or maybe even 3x for #verythai. 3. Believe the short cooking times. Even a minute longer can mush things up.

Of course I buy the thing I've been thinking about trying for months, then go online and immediately get an ad for the same thing at a 20% discount.

it’s so, so rare for people slinging this kind of money to hear what it actually takes to tie up the strings attached. I hope they take this as what it is, which is important information about the prize process, and not as an indication that they just chose the “wrong” author.

Strong agree. The aloo paratha topped with greek yoghurt and a friend egg is a meal of champions.

Bowerbird bower in the yard. Still love his robot noises.

First trips on the grey trains that have replaced the purple trains. Not appreciating them so far.

Older brother visited from overseas for the first time in ages and managed to hit a kangaroo and get gastro — I haven't checked but I'm pretty sure A Roo and a Spew is a John Williamson album.

@mxfrankduffy.bsky.social Frank, I bought your tarot deck and recently started using it regularly, having never really been a tarot person before. I feel the beauty of your work every time I touch the deck, seeing new detail each time, and the book is an absolute gift to the world. Thank you!

Melaleuca peucophylla of Western Australia was formerly placed in the genus Calothamnus, but that genus is now sunk into Melaleuca. The stamens are in clusters & form a flower adapted to bird pollination. #pollination #Myrtaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

UPDATE: I’ve moved to Campsie! I’ve just posted an update on the crowdfunder page with a few grabs from last night’s livestream. www.gofundme.com/f/the-9pm-st... The crowdfunder itself is now 84% of the way to its new target thank you. I’ll add an update daily for a while now, I think.

Every day is a good day for sharing one of the most useful papers about research data ever written. PLEASE get your people to understand and follow this advice. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

my friend was at a noisy bar and was talking to someone who asked him about his job, and he said (shouted) that he’s a professor and he chairs his university’s Center for Health Humanities, and his interlocutor looked puzzled and asked (shouted), “center for healthy manatees?”

Also so deeply refreshing to get detailed, informed, complex commentary from a former USGer who actually understands and cares about the Middle East. One might, say, ask her to go on news or Colbert or NPR.

7/ The reason a lot of us are so much more nervous about Iran is that Trump doesn't just get to turn all this off whenever he wants. Even if the US never launched another air strike, Israel likely would, and anyway the Iranian ant-hill has been well and truly kicked.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world." #AIslop #refuseresist

My love for Newcastle only increases when I read about people and places I know taking a stand like this. 'Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives'

my belief that the state should only record and never dictate or constrain a person’s identity is why i see #adoptee rights and trans rights as connected at the very root.
