I am always surprised when you guys talk about your jobs. In my mind you are all just sitting in stasis till you emerge into consciousness to make the little posts I enjoy so much.

Internet dating is so tough these days, you never know who's going to trick you into confessing your participation in January 6 by saying "interesting, tell me more" and then turn you into the authorities

Statistically speaking, one of you read this and then, in a towering monument to the hubris of man, put it on and immediately fell victim to the same fate.
Statistically speaking, someone out there just came in way too early with the air drums while listening to In The Air Tonight.
Do better.
Do better.

120 years since the Wright Brothers took to the skies (or slightly above ground, depends on how you look at it) ✈️
A huge achievement in itself and awesome to look at the progress we’ve made since then! I’m so grateful to work pushing the bounds of how far we can go and what humanity’s capable of 🚀🛰️👩🔬

How did I not share this today, on the 120th anniversary of the first heavier-than-air flight 🤦♀️
One of my favourite photos I’ve ever taken for todays #ArtAdventCalendar
Firstly, it’s a stunning scene. Secondly, my Grandad was a top dressing pilot flying these beautiful planes, to share the experience that is flying in a tiger moth is something I will never forget 💛

Imagine! Turns out Wilson don’t like “excessive fees” when they’re the ones paying 🙄
I once got an $80 parking ticket, after paying for parking already, because at 8:55 I parked in a “don’t park here before 9am” spot

So one of my favorite persons was moving and on their drive saw a mural painted on a silo. From a distance, he said it looked like "a bear in an ice cream cone high-fiving a rainbow astronaut". We were both disappointed to find out this was not, in fact, what it was.

Another beach! Apparently I love taking photos of water, which checks out because being by the ocean is my happy place for gathering my thoughts and resetting 🙏
What’s your favourite beach, lake or river?

Wake up nerds, new JWST image!
Brown dwarf or rouge planet yeeted from its star? A new discovery from JWST of the tiniest brown dwarf at only 3-4x Jupiter’s mass raises the question: what is the lowest-mass object that can form like a star? 🔭

Rangitoto Island is an iconic landmark of Auckland, visible from nearly every beach on the east of the city, and yet I’ve never climbed it… Sounds like a good 2024 resolution!
