It's been a birthday cake topper painting kind of a weekend. #MyHeroAcademia #anime

I did this BlueBoard podcast recently on #MarineCitizenship and democracy. Check it out. #MarSocSci everythingischanging.eu

Everything Is Changing

Welcome to Everything Is Changing, a podcast where forward-thinking conversations spark real-world impact.

It's interesting to see how the distribution also seems to narrow. Presumably the right temp is getting squeezed.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Been working too much for enjoyment this month but I have noticed two things in cultural entertainment: 1) 90% sure there is a loon call in the new Harry Potter audiobooks. Maybe passable as a magical place. 2) Box tree moth on The Other Bennett Sister. Definitely not passable. Eco knowledge fail.

Been lying awake listening to a bird for hours. What could it be? Open Merlin and instantly the road fills with cars. Not a word of a lie. Had to go to the ensuite and open a window to record. It was a Robin. Why is the Robin singing all night? Probably light pollution. 😪

How sailing voyages can inspire the next generation of ocean scientists and advocates

Sailing voyages help young people develop strong connections with the sea that can last a lifetime.

For Christmas, my son got me this sweet metalwork Jay kit from the Royal School of Needlework. Making swift progress until work starts next week!

I'm most sad for Katya. She's the greatest choreographer of all strictly ever. The only consolation is maybe she won't leave til she's won so I get to keep seeing her amazing dances. #strictly

Fb memories tells me it's 11 years since I realised Fresh Prince of Bel Air is Mansfield Park. 11 years of nobody else apparently discussing this.

Everyone is away for the weekend to Alton Towers. I've stayed home to rat and dog sit.

Taking a break from learning tambour beading (which is SO hard) with a new kit from @londonembschool.bsky.social. This is my first time sewing French loops. One can only knot for so long before one's finger and thumb are wrecked! It's fun doing this in little installments.

Exciting new delivery! The knotwork kit from @londonembschool.bsky.social using my voucher for being learner of the month! Plus an extra treat, the very cute, tiny teacup needle minder. No more shoving needles in the settee arm and losing them inside...

Are there any mathematicians on here up for helping me to create a model equation to approximate an haematological problem? Just for fun!

Over in LinkedIn we've been discussing Early Career Researcher precarity and the influence of funding rules. www.linkedin.com/posts/pamela...

These past two or three years, as an Early Career Researcher on successive fixed term and partial university contracts, I've been involved in a number of studies looking at ECR precarity. It's...

Nine years since I made my husband's Regency tailcoat. By hand! I had septic fingers from so many needle sticks. 😂 Then I got really really ill with pernicious anaemia and haven't made any Regency clothes since. :( But he'll be wearing this again for a Jane Austen Festival event this month.

How fun is this?! Tambour is tricky compared to needlework. 😅

Back from the beach → back to Parliament. In June the EAC urged a new framework for inclusive engagement in marine decision-making. We respond with practical actions from the MMO-Exeter work on social sustainability. hdl.handle.net/10779/exe.30... @exeter.ac.uk #MarineGovernance #CoastalCommunities

Fearless baby robin at the edge of the pond. They are always interested in what people are up to. #WildlifePond

Finally seen a dragonfly emerge after having our #WildlifePond for about 7 years! So cool. #rewilding

I was this years old when I bought my first brand new vinyl of songs I've never before heard and opened it and played it.

Happy #WorldOceanDay! The ocean is the great regulator and provider for the whole world and we should all be looking after it. Ask your local council to declare a #Motion4TheOcean today! oceanconservationtrust.org/ocean-advoca...

Call a Motion for the Ocean - Ocean Conservation Trust

Our Ocean Recovery Declaration - or Motion for the Ocean - seeks to help all local governments take action to improve the Ocean's health.

Wild garden is looking quite wild on this first day of June. As well as the magnolia and hazel saplings coming along nicely, there is a vast quantity of plantain - gives seeds over winter for birds - and wild strawberry - giving fruits to small mammals through the summer. #rewilding

What are people using as a combined email client on their phone now that BlueMail have self-sabotaged their app?

Listening to Laura Bates' new book. Would love to hear a response from @newyorker.com's Daniel Immerwahr and @wjscheirer.bsky.social on Ch1 where she highlights how they ignore the impacts of deep fakes on women when they say they've had no effects of consequence. #EverydaySexism

This year one of our buddleja bushes is infested with aphids. Apparently this is something unusual being picked up by the RHS. www.rhs.org.uk/biodiversity... You can report sightings here: survey123.arcgis.com/share/57f3eb...

I've finished my first of three tambour kits from @londonembschool.bsky.social. It's been interesting learning. I enjoyed the swirls and they were quick work, but the rows of stitches were boring, like cross stitch, and I'm not satisfied with my turns at the end of the lines. Beading next I think.

Finally! A decade ago we heard Mr Tawny shooting, year after year. Then one day Mrs Tawny rocked up. I've not heard Mr this year but I've been wishing to capture a Tawny on Merlin since I got the app and finally there was enough of a break in the traffic when I was outside the house and I got her!

Aw. Remembering my girl's Frozen party from a decade ago. I was Anna. I made her Elsa dress. And obviously we had animals and science because what else are birthday parties for?

How is person supposed to work like this? I can't get my chair by the desk! 🐶

My daughter requested this birthday cake this year. Her own design!
