Yesterday evening, R. said, 'Shall we have tea?' I was like, it's a bit early, but okay... 'And then we'll study?' 'Yes.' It took me 5 minutes to realise that she was preparing tea and I was preparing ...dinner. 😅

My second solo-authored paper - this time on critiquing Indigenous relationships with non-human animals - has been provisionally accepted by 'Environmental Humanities'. It's gone through peer review and subsequent revisions, so it should be out in a few months! 🪺

'And he sang me a song I will never forget. At least, well, I haven't forgotten it yet.' - Dr. Seuss, 'Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?' I grew up reading Dr. Seuss, but just read this for the first time. It has his classic wit, but lacks the moral power of 'Sneetches' and 'Yertle'. ⭐⭐⭐⭐/⭐
