The moon: great for rituals, not great for building navigation tech
Dung beetles: great for building navigation tech, terrifying in rituals (as seen in The Mummy)

We’re not kink shaming the dung beetles revolutionising satellite navigation, I promise.

It’s our final spooktober episode (Happy Halloween!!) so @raejohnston thought she’d explain the science and tech used to produce ectoplasm!
@tegan_writes had her own ideas though….

Wonderful #BackRoads this evening, celebrating the multi-talented Yolngu people of Arnhem Land, #NT. And their country. Loved every minute. Highlight? The brilliant kids who came 40th in the WORLD in robotics competition in Texas and “the teachers cried (with joy)”! #ABC at its best. Enjoy @mukabout — your beautiful NT shining for the world to discover. @catvandermark - you & Les, too.

@abcnews Good to see #Backroads showing the extraordinary amount of plastics rubbish accumulating on the very remote beaches around Australia and endangering marine life. Few have ranger programs such as that of the Yolgnu to clean up. #TangaroaBlue
So I haven't posted here for 9 months or so because:
1. The only device where I'm still logged into Twitter is a 2017 Macbook that I've kept because I like the stickers on it
2. I'm happy IRL
