Sometimes the climb is internal, the work of arguing with the part of you that still expects to fall. New journal-style illustration + poem: "We climb the idea of ourselves." 🌿Growth is always worth it. #watercolour #sketchbook #poetry #AIart #creativeprocess #quillshadow

Quantum tunneling is a process where a particle can pass through a barrier that it normally would not have enough energy to overcome. This happens because the particle has a wave-like nature and can exist in a superposition of states, meaning it has a nonzero probability of being on the other side of the barrier. Quantum tunneling is responsible for nuclear fusion in stars, radioactive decay, and scanning tunneling microscopy.

One thing I must create for my children's storybook is a map. I think all books should require maps in them. From the time I was a child until today, I love poring over maps & they always made an imaginary place all that much more real if there was a map of it.

A lyrebird has been caught mimicking the ‘evacuate now’ siren at Sydney's Taronga Zoo. The native Australian bird has the ability to accurately mimic almost any sound it hears, with an evacuation triggered less than two weeks ago when lions escaped from their enclosure. #9News

Had a lovely encounter with a tiny echidna this morning I lay down in the grass a few metres away, & they came right up & sniffed me!

Word of the day is 'growlery' (1853, from Charles Dickens): a place you retreat to for the purposes of growling, muttering, and letting off steam.
