'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

Tonight I was browsing various birding tours worldwide and I want to express my appreciation to all my friends in Aotearoa New Zealand. With their hospitality and advice, at three-figure cost last Feb I was able to see more and more interesting species than the five-figure birding tours can promise.

I think we should start measuring government programmes in Hayden Donnell's 'metres of roading'. Lowering the age of bowel cancer screening to 45? 5 metres of road. A year of Three Waters? 63 metres of road. Reading recovery? 13mm of road.

Similar to Pākehā claiming to be kaitiakitanga without understanding the deeper whakapapa meaning of that word. I've done it myself in the past in terms of my job and interests, but have since learnt that it's not for me, and that's OK. Interesting seeing some Pākehā get really offended by this.

“I’m not arguing that Pākehā can’t learn te reo Māori. Anyone can learn te reo Māori, speak te reo Māori, and have a relationship with te reo Māori. But only Māori can claim te reo as ‘ours’.” — Taea Staples.

I miss all the native vegetation and native birds in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Ōtepoti is lovely but where I'm living there doesn't have much native flora and fauna, or even that much exotic vegetation.

I don’t think parental leave should simply be available to men in equal amounts as women, I think it should be mandatory

Study (N=8,097) finds women more likely to finish a PhD before 30 & have children after 35. Men tended to become parents during doctoral studies & often had 3+ children by 40. Early-career mothers had lower citation rates; fathers had no such penalties. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

No less than 60 million stars in one image. It's possible thanks to ESA's Euclid mission. For just one day, Euclid turned its gaze to the crowded heart of the Milky Way and captured the largest, most detailed photo ever taken of our galaxy's centre in visible light. Let's dive deeper 👇 🔭 🧪 ☄️ 1/8

A dense field of tiny stars fills this square image taken by the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope. The lower and central areas are dominated by bright yellow and gold colours, forming a textured background similar to fine glitter or sand. Dark brown and black patches cut irregularly through the yellow regions, like ink stains or clouds of smoke. Toward the upper left, the colours shift to purple and reddish tones, blending gently into the surrounding star field. Small blue points of light are scattered across the image.

the Transition Research Fund, which replaces New Zealand's storied Marsden Fund, allocates just $6.2 million for science research relating to 'healthy people and a thriving society' that's less than my one single lab has spent in the last few years, but for all NZ basic science about humans #nzpol

MBIE has released the details on the New Zealand's "Transition Research Fund". It transitions research the way a hospice transitions patients. scienceskillsandinnovation.cmail20.com/t/r-l-tujiik...
