A enjoyable project for a bunch of tiny (<2m each) yarn leftovers. There's faux leather, faux fur, recycled plastic bag yarn (comfortingly scratchy for NDers) sequins, buttons, glitter yarn and more- all framed together with sturdy black double cotton.

Black holes! Three women physicists! 🤩🎉 Everyone within cooee of Pune India should go. 🙏

Cripes. Knowing how *over* engineered skyscrapers usually are, I would not be game to live in the swanky apartment conversions after a structural failure while it was nearly empty. One grand piano, and you might find yourself in rubble 5 floors below. 😱 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

Highly recommend this article, advocating for caregiving roles undertaken by doctors to no longer be seen as a private burden, but as a shared workplace concern, strategic imperative for staff support and retention, and as professional development.❤️👏 academic.oup.com/academicmedi...

Great interview Rhea. I agree with you we need to bring back the team cup of tea 🙂

100% agree. Thank you Rhea for sharing. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who can’t stand mayo, tomato sauce, mustard and other dressings. It also made me wonder whether I am ND and whether I could’ve been a doctor 🤔 🙏🏼🥰

This was such a wonderful podcast. Thank you mamamia for putting out such great content. I never go to sleep listening to any of your podcasts! 🥰

Oh Dr Rhea, that was one of the best podcasts I have heard. It was lovely to hear, rather than read your voice and to understand what you have been through to get where you are now. You are absolutely amazing and I so appreciate what you do, for both doctors and patients. Thank you for sharing 🙏

This is the first time I've spoken about my neurodiversity in any detail. Please be kind 🤗 www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/ful...

Kinda puts things in perspective doesn’t it? A harmless 3 gram Huntsman or an 1100 kilogram Elephant Seal? Which one is easier to remove? 😉

For those interested, the building featured is the local convenience store/take away, servo and Post Office, plus the Metro Bus stop. Neal had to be moved on from the fuel bowsers last night for safety. He could easily wreck one causing a fire.

Wondering if we in the Nordics, inspired by our friends in Aotearoa and the increasingly widespread use of Māori, should start throwing in more Sámi words and phrases in daily discourse...

I’m sure Larry is mainly there for supervisory duties and moral support of his team (because they clearly are ‘his’ team)

It’s incredible how we manoeuvre through and find our place. It’s extremely hard at times. Your story gives hope.

I was also in the library. We didnt have a school counsellor so that was ruled out. Eventually I found that many of the Maths department were like me. So duck was a goose all along.:D

I dont get many SoMe comments. I have to decipher most comments with a "what do every day people perceive here" filter but it takes time. It also doesnt help that I have hearing loss. Social stuff is so hard.

Cats never waste energy unnecessarily. I bet Larry spreads the spores to grow into truffles for the dog to find NEXT year.

I feel so heard. This was such a beautiful, respectful interview. I'm another one who lived in the library as a school kid and also got sent to the school counsellor for the difficulties I had with making friends and being around people.

I've been harvesting things that really have no business growing at this time of the year. On the one hand... tomatoes in July, but I can't say it doesn't make me uneasy. Fruit trees only really dropped their leaves in the last month.

There are trees still attempting to do 'autumn' in almost-summery midwinter temperatures. I appreciate their beauty so much ❤️

What a treat to fly in one of Qantas' Pride Is In The Air planes today! 🤗❤️🏳️‍🌈

I have a friend who coaches his daughter’s high school soccer team There’s a trans girl in the team And nobody bats an eyelid Nobody cares who is cis or trans—the kids don’t care, the parents don’t care, the other teams don’t care Just let kids be kids and just let all kids play sports, OK? 2/2

Wait until they hear about the YUGE particle collider right over their heads, in the sky 🌞🤣

People forget that 'free speech', regardless of social approbation or causing offense, is a US concept. In Australia (Karl) and the UK (Piers), speech follows usual social norms of both responsibility and consequence, the same as all wilful human actions. www.news.com.au/entertainmen...

En passant, “Female” always makes me think of the Beetota Advocate headline along the lines of “man who uses the term Females hopes to be allowed within 100m of one”.

How it's going: surgical man defends lack of women in celebratory Fellowship post, wonders *in the same post* why more women don't choose surgery 🤦🏻‍♀️ (or rather, 'feeeeemaaaales')

Turns out ALL Australian pineapples 🍍 come from Queensland.

Renewables for the win 🌞 There's so much power being generated by the enormous uptake of solar in Australia, three states are offering 3 hours free power daily, from tomorrow. #sustainability 🌳 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

The more i think about it the more pissed of if I am. There is danger in any community, goes with the territory. If a subset needs a special guard it’s women and children. From every demographic they seem to be the highest victims of violent crime. So, how about we start with that.

Y'know, it's really interesting which immigrant groups are asked to assimilate vs groups that get to be armed to protect their *un*assimilation. Personally, I prefer anti-racism, anti-hate crimes, and maximum peaceful diversity all round. 🤗🕊

I still can't get over (a) just one woman gaining urology fellowship, and (b) she's not even in the photo. What happened to 'you can't be what you can't see?' and everything we know about the importance of visibility? We still have such a long way to go. 😖 #OperateWithRespect #DiversityAndInclusion

A toaster with a "crumpet" button reminded me of a Japanese washing machine with a "curry" setting, and made me wonder what other culturally-specific buttons appear on electrical hardware

hey @liangrhea.bsky.social I stumbled across this article and thought this might be intriguing - a cave system so narrow they assembled an all petite statured female team to do the archaeology too! www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/d...

GC city lights viewed from the south. Drizzly, but not particularly cold. I'm very lucky to live here 🤗

Found this wee chappie floating in the harbour. Cleaned him up, washed him, hair dried & brushed, posted on the local FB community boards. I need to get Tigger reunited with his wee human. Ōtepoti Dunedin

We underestimate women at our peril 👍🎇

I ABSOLUTELY know I do not have an empty inbox. Is 'Outlook down' a thing? 🤔

The days are getting longer, bit by bit. I feel like a bee sitting here in the slanted sunlight, slowly warming up, preparing to buzz off to my day's work. 🤗❤️🐝

Good night Brisbane 🤗

By contrast, the bush turkey who almost chose violence 😅

30 seconds of tranquility for this economy/climate crisis/whatever ails you. (Best with sound up). 🧘🏻‍♀️ Mt Coot-tha botanical gardens, Brisbane

Fascinating world of ancient #glass: an amazing #Roman glass jug with a smaller glass jug inside – a so-called joke-jar that shows the skill of the glassmaker. Presumably made in workshop in Cologne, found in a grave in Stein am Rhein, Switzerland, 4th c. AD. 🧵1/2

One thing wprking in labs taught me is the value of a good label printer. And that definitely extends to the household.

i like how Australia is slowly developing it's own food styles. all the different immigrant groups have had kids and grand-kids that are all cross pollinating and making some cool new totally unorthodox dishes. immigration rocks.

Highly recommend this podcast from @adacheung.bsky.social talking *with* trans people- all doctors- rather than 'about' them. 'I can't die one day with my loved ones... only knowing 80% of me, but not 100%... and I knew that I had to come out'. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️
