Welcome to all the new folks 👋 My #introduction posts are slightly out of date but I'm waiting to update them because I'm about to finish my PhD (well, submit my thesis), move interstate, and start a postdoc. I do still have two tortie burmese cats, craft a lot, and live with migraine though.
#introduction
I am crafty, and love to knit, spin yarn, and sew. I also love growing our own food.
Music-wise, I listen to a lot of metal these days. My fave bands are Mastodon, Gojira and Between the Buried and Me but I love keeping up with new stuff too.
I live on land stolen from the Wurundjuri people, and believe that reconcilation should begin with treaty.
My account is locked but request a follow - unless you're a TERF or bigot, in which case you can get fucked.
#introduction
I live with migraine and while not chronically ill, my attack frequency is defined as episodic - which means between 8-15 days per month. This means I don't qualify for a range of subsidised medication. As a result, I got organised and am on the board of Australia's only migraine patient organisation and am an advocate.
Pop-culturally, I love sci-fi (esp The Expanse) and am on the edges of the A Song of Ice and Fire fandom.
#introduction
I'm a PhD student in Melbourne, Australia. I work on localising the Sustainable Development Goals in rural areas, and my sub-fields range from human geography and scenario development through to large scale dynamic modelling.
I'm a first gen Australian white cis woman with Hungarian heritage. My partner @cefiar and I are guardians of two ageing tortoiseshell burmese cats named Salome and Chrissy and we toot pics of them using #BurmeseLyf
FAIRY CIRCLE
NO STOPPING
says the sign on the road. Sure enough, I am passing right through a huge ring of mushrooms, the road a textbook diagram of a chord.
Disregarding the sign, I pull over, engine running, and get out to take a snap with my phone.
As I return, my car starts to drive off. I run, but it lifts off the ground, then circles higher and higher until I am not sure I am seeing or imagining a speck in the sky.
I belatedly realize that I should have taken a video.
Article review
The supplementary material document is full of "Error! Reference source not found!" so I'm guessing they didn't proofread it.
Article review
I don't want to be a platform snob, but unless I'm mistaken, these authors have built a model using Power BI? I could be mistaken, there is no readme in the github repo.
Article review
"The UK case study has been addressed separately due to the BREXIT". Oof.
I am only halfway through the introduction but I feel like I am reading an undergraduate paper.
I know that I am not supposed to be reading this for editing but come on, "severally obese" and "very severally obese"?
Food
Staying in Glen Waverley so I walked up to the restaurant strip and had dumplings for dinner.
And I can't even really get shitty with the cleaner because I had to book him last minute because my original booking cancelled on me on Sunday because plague.
“87th floor, room 24,” says the hotel receptionist as I check in.
“87?! How tall is this hotel?” I exclaim.
“Oh, it’s only two floors up,” she smiles, “but we skip unlucky numbers, and there are a LOT of those around the world.”
“Did you know 87 is unlucky for cricketers?” I joke as I reach for the key.
She frowns, pulls back the key. “Your floor is now called—[typing]—the 111th floor.”
I am about to say something about the number 111, think better of it, and accept the key.
Sustainability science PhD candidate. Obsessed with cats. Knitter & spinner. Vegetable gardener. Goth/metal. Living with migraine. She/her. May swear.
I support transgender rights. Trans rights = human rights.
