I haven't been able to find the nest, but some Striated Thornbills kept tabs on me while I search the garden, so it may well be theirs. #birds

TINY EGG!!! I found this fragment in my garden while looking for spiders last night. I'm fairly confident it's a Thornbill, but I couldn't say what species for sure (We have Brown, Yellow, and Striated Thornbills here). #birds

correct. Every part of the story is a lie to pump up some shitty little start up

Some Gang-gang Cockatoos visited yesterday! It's a small flock of mostly immature males who grouped together after they were weened last Summer. They're the local Gang-gang gang. #birds

It turns out this is probably Australomisidia kangarooblaszaki, and *not* Lozenge-shaped Crab Spider. The species was only described in 2008! No, I don't know why it's called "Kangaroo Blaszaki".

Games are art. But not all art is good, and no art has universal appeal. Many of the great masters of painting are best known for their derivative fan art. You don't have to like it for it to be art.

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

I'm not into Halloween, but I will never not repost this comic. It just makes me smile every time I see it.

Carpet Python! I saw this 2m+ long beauty crossing the road in front of my house, so I ran down to wave down traffic and escort it safely to my garden, where it disappeared like Homer backing into a bush. #snakes #reptiles

Mum's gone away for a week but she left an opened bag of nacho cheese corn chips in plain sight. Oh no.

Triangular Spider (Arkys sp.). A rare (for me) ventral angle, which actually makes it harder to ID the species, but LOOK at its cute little FANGS!!! #spiders #invertebrates

The Sulphur-crested Cockatoos decided that our persoonia needs pruning. Why pick the fruit when you can bite the entire branch off and take it with you? #birds

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

I shouldn't be surprised, but it's genuinely pleasing to know that my go-to political party feels the same way about AI that I do. Fellow Aussies, add your name to put pressure on our government: greens.org.au/campaigns/pr...

I just don't understand the world right now. The more I try the more tired I feel.

I was in the area so I visited Featherdale Wildlife Park yesterday.

Get your weird skin spots checked! I saw a Dermatologist today about a red patch on my eyebrow that's been there for while. It turned out to be an early SCC (cancer, but only in the top layers of skin). He froze it (ow) and that should be the end of story.
