Rewatch Schitts Creek. You’ll thank me.

I’m Canadian. Live in Australia. The number of people who have said to me some version of, “there’s an Olympics on?” … “oh, you mean the Winter Olympics.” Canada’s best start bringing it!

Three moods in three seconds.

Finished the last Heated Rivalry book today. Started the first about 10 days ago. Absolutely devoured them. Now I need to find someone to talk to about them who hasn’t just seen the series.

The calm before the Victoria's Pride Street Party.

Heartbreaking.

I’d like to add to the list painting tile or brick to the list of things that should be illegal.

It would be fascinating to know what the air frier usage on this 44 degrees day in Victoria was. Sous vide steak and air frier potatoes and garlic bread (out of frame) here. Avoided turning the oven on.

Yeah. Five for the price of four is a regular approach to limes and lemons. I hate it. Just let me buy one lime! It's encouraging over consumption, and Australia's duopoly isn't going to self-regulate (or compete)

Australia’s system effectively penalises smaller households, single people, and anyone without storage space. I suspect it would also contribute to unnecessary food waste.

Two quick wins for the Australian government.

1. Ban card surcharges. Cash is dying. There shouldn't be a charge for using cards.

2. Ban multi-item discounts. Forcing me to buy two boxes of Shapes to get the discount should be illegal. Prohibit conditional multi-buy pricing!

Corrected something in this post (ta, eagle-eyed librarian!) and counted all the zeroes properly this time. Elsevier's profit is not in the millions, it's billions. 😵‍💫

Upon quick glance, my dyslexic brain saw overdrink, and I thought it was an odd choice for you to be posting 😅

What types of LIS research are preferred in evidence-informed public policy development? Investigating differences in policy citations of Review Articles and Original Research - Cuihua Li, Qianjin Zon... Academic research, including library and information science (LIS) studies, cited as evidence for public policy development, is becoming increasingly prevalent....

More evidence that review articles are used more widely than original research articles to inform policy, and yet so the academic incentives are for original research journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

I hope third time is a charm for you. We completely lucked out weather-wise.

Mountain range in the far distance. Water splits the screen at half. You can see through it and see rocks in the water.

Milford sounds was better than I ever expected it could be.

If you’re in Christchurch go see this. I had no expectations going in, but loved it. courttheatre.org.nz/shows/wolf-p...

Thanks! Hoping for a repeat tonight.

I’m from northern Canada. I’ve seen them often, but it’s always special. These are from last night in Te Anau.

Sweet. That’s what we’re thinking.

I’m in Wanaka. The aurora looks promising. Where should I go to see it? Any help is appreciated.

The southern skies giving us a show. Thanks Te Anau.

Minor whinge. People crossing their legs on the tram. The physics of four sets of legs doesn’t work in that space of one set is crossed!
