So excited to find out about Bookshop.org! which allows you to simultaneously support indie brick & mortar bookstores and buy books online. Too bad that they only operate and ship w/in the US + the UK at the moment, but seems only a matter of time b4 they're shipping globally? #fuckamazon #booksky

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. #Booksky #bookchallenge

A golden sunrise with shorebirds and a pelican. Bald Hill Beach, South Australia.

I gave Coco a bone about half an hour ago. She’s still doing laps of the house and yard, looking for a place to hide it 😂

Grey plovers doing their usual thing - standing in a line a long way from shore. Very skittish birds. Hard to get near them. Bald Hill Beach, South Australia.

I'm covered in the most painful mozzie bites on the bits I missed with repellant but I'm celebrating a huge win! I found two more chrysalis in our, desperately out of control, grass 🦋🥰💞 These will become Evening Brown (Melanitis leda) butterflies 🦋

You should get a library card if you don’t have one already. Then get the apps Libby and Hoopla. There you can download audiobooks and ebooks. So even if you don’t go to your local library a lot, you can still support them and the authors you love.

It’s Sunday again, so a perfect day to treat yourself to a nice new book. - Michael

There are many times that I think about how many books I’m going to read in my lifetime. I just wish I was immortal.

Nothing feels better than that last hour before you sleep reading a good book.

Riled up librarians are a force to be reckoned with!

I'm crying🤣 In the short time I've been here, I think I could tag almost everyone in this and watch them go.. "Hey thats me!" "Yup thats you!" #readers #booksky #writers 💙📚

A red knot at Bald Hill Beach.

Sharing this in our echo chamber. Yet worth reading. '...if the polls are correct – and, as usual, we have our doubts – then enough voters are buying it and Australia may well end up with Opposition Leader Peter Dutton as our next PM.' #auspol #AusVotes25 independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

So my beautiful friend was overwhelmed by Bluesky and left. She’s ok. She’ll just have to put up with all my “you wouldn’t believe what happened on Bluesky today!” Stories. 😊🤞🦋

Good one #neoliberals This is what angers me. The pressure this political and economic ideology puts EVERYONE under in #education is unacceptable. It has to go and to do this so must the #duopoly Vote for intelligent decision making, vote for social justice 💚💚💚🩱 #Grenn #TE #auspol #education

😂😂😂😂😎👏💥

If Dutton’s lips are by moving, he is lying

Do. Not. Forget. This. 👇 #auspol #AusVotes25

These are just the statements on record. Do you trust these people, #auspol? Whose songsheet are they singing from?

As he is a federal employee Trump needs to record his golf times too

Just cracked 24k followers while I was in the shower this morning. Welcome @zeebart.bsky.social as my 24kth follower. I hope you enjoy the ride. 😊🤞🦋

Just give her the money

Your country is dying when your health minister sounds like this. 😢🤞🦋

Still no dental cover though.😠 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Don't forget to watch tomorrow. Well worth the watch. Last week's was a cracker.

Wishing my girl a quick recovery! #cats#recovery

Had a good ride this afternoon and followed that up with having a beer with @kudelka.bsky.social for his birthday. Also caught up with @brontelee.bsky.social and @firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social, great to finally catch up with both of you. I can’t wait to organise a play date for Yarndi and Jock.

Brilliant 👏 🤣👇

Is that all I am Yarndi? Entertainment and the slave that feeds you? Being punished for not taking her with me. 🫤

Even on a dull winter day, this Blue Tit is as vibrant as ever! 💛💙 Longer days bring fierce competition as males battle for prime nest sites, securing an early advantage for breeding. #bird #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #sony #bluesky #photography #art

Turns out the real danger is car drivers, not e-bikes and e-scooters.
