I miss Western Australia so much right now. It was only my home for a few years but it has stayed with me, + every British winter I doubt my life choices + ache to return, especially to the sea

Returning to work after some sick leave + trying new work routines - taking a full hour for lunch everyday + making sure I get outside as much as possible

As a small island nation (incl. lots of even smaller islands) already prone to flooding, heat waves, coastal erosion + sea level rise I cannot comprehend the stupidity of this government. Even a self-preservationist approach suggests this move is counter to our continued survival

Really looking forward to reading this!

Listened to a reviewer’s feedback that I missed an important body of work. Felt stupid at first, then annoyed, now amassed a new reading list + diving in - accepting that deep careful academic reading is also a gift to myself, to take time to dwell with others’ ideas + think anew

Academia: Be kind to yourself, maintain a healthy work/life balance, don't overcommit.

Also academia: The new benchmark for tenure-track is two dozen books, Luxembourg's GDP in grant funding, and a certificate declaring you world's best teacher.
