I train these clever creatures to save victims trapped in collapsed buildings after earthquakes. We kit them out with a rat backpack, and train them to trigger a switch when they find a victim & come back for a tasty treat 🐀 #herosnotpests #science #weirdjobs #WomenInSTEM

The #rocketship is done! Some thread notes: I KNOW it’s extra. This took a REALLY long time, 1-2 hrs a night for WEEKS. Am going through a LOT & poured all my grief & bookstress into this for my baby. The last thing I said to my aunt was I’d send her pics. Here you go, Cyd.

In the past, you could be reckful (considerate) as well as reckless. People were also gormful (careful); feckful (responsible), ruthful (compassionate), wieldy (agile), ept (adroit), and definitely gruntled. Bring back the lost positives.

Australia-China relations haven't been great the last few years. Some of the immediate issues are the same as other nations are facing - Huawei, trade, the territorial disputes in the South China and East China Seas, and some are specific to Australia.

Today I learned... The white man in this photo was Peter Norman from Australia who finished 2nd the 1968 200m final. Norman stood in solidarity with the American Black athletes. It was Norman who suggested, when discovered they only had 1 pair of gloves, to each wear one. (cont)
