It's funny, Australian mapies are also a completely different species than the ones you saw in London! British magpies are lovely corvids, and ours are elegant bullies 😅
A British magpie, delicate and pretty, vs an Australian magpie, twice the size and built on meaner lines

They are truly the bravest of us all
A big Australian magpie, caught in the act of stealing a piece of brie. Its wings are stretched wide and blurred with motion.

I love the Wittunga Botanic Gardens in spring. They've got fynbos plantings! They've got gazebos! They've got bold-ass magpies coming to steal your cheese!

A big Australian magpie steps onto a picnic blanket, wary but determined to steal some cheese (not pictured) A bush full of soft pink geraldton wax flowers A massive bush full of white daisies with yellow centres. The background is tall grasses and eucalyptus trees. The foreground is a geranium bush full of soft magenta flowers. In the middle, tall sprays of white, trumpet-like flowers sweep outwards. In the background, eucalyptus trees and overcast skies.

There is a tiny spider on these little flowers!

Two white freesias, tipped in purple, are poking out of a scrubby australian lawn. There is a teeny tiny spider on one of the flowers.

Your IKEA product is your name, spelled backwards, with an umlaut.

I am Ammëg, a quilted-style cloth trivet/pot holder filled with buckwheat. The fabric is a faux William Morris type of thing. You're surprised that it's $20, but you pick it up and go, 'gee that's heavy, fair enough!'

I am Arön, a $6 fairly dim smart light bulb that only fits chandelier style fixtures, but is IFTTT compatible.

I want to play this game but my name doesn’t have any Swedish letters

I’d be a weird coathook though

Hello it's cat time
A brown and white tabby cat lying on a william morris quilt. He is snugged in to a right-angled shape under the covers (he's curled in behind my knees)

- but also, I think I'm focused on Outfit because it's basically the only lever I'm able to use. I can't do fancy hair or makeup, so I want to maximise the ability of my clothes to read as 'respecting the formal event'.
I can't engage with most signifiers, so I'm Doing My Best with clothes I guess?

I have a family wedding coming up soon, and I've been pouring a decent amount of mental runtime into making sure my outfit is going to work. And part of it is definitely working out how to do formal wear while also wearing compression gear and flat, comfy shoes -

Yup, FOI is a puissant ritual that binds public servants to reveal their secrets

Oh I know why they can't name them! At my old library job, FOI laws meant that members of the public can request all records pertaining to them; no name = no FOI requests 🙃

With alt text because this made me cry 😭
Screenshot from what-even-is-thiss tumblr "Cats don't actually love you" A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food. Don't you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it's helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family. Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.

Sometimes the lighting down here is so vivid it's unreal.

The crown of a tall photinia tree. It has dense green and red leaves, and clusters of tiny white flowers that stretch up into a vivid blue sky.

ad for the dichroic collection featuring a bolo tie, earrings and a pendant ad for the collage collection, which are made from various overlapping patterns. some of the patterns are transparent so you can see a bit of the ones behind them. the actual pieces are 3 pendants and a bolo tie ad for the cluster collection, which all look like groups of psychedelically colored fish eggs. these ones are pendants ad for new earrings. they're simple dangly round earrings in swirling patterns

A round donut of a bean for #caturday, ft his favourite #WilliamMorris backdrop
A brown and white tabby cat, Bean, is curled up into a loose ball, feets poking in odd directions. The sunlight is glowy and there is a little smile on his face. He is lying on a patterned quilt: the William Morris strawberry thief pattern.

The Artist Is Present (in her photos of little flowers she sees in her neighbourhood)
A strip of gerebra daisy plants, between a dying lawn and the footpath. There's bright orange and yellow flowers. My shadow, holding up a phone, is visible in the corner of the image.
