No PAXAus 2023 *sad panda* BUT I did make it to Powerhouse Late: Gaming. *LOVE* Need to keep reminding the spawnlings how lucky they are… “Back in my day…” 👵🏻 Shout out to Ailuri, Aethermon, The Sacred Acorn, Soul Seekers, and Star Chart. Gamers rejoice for more indie games!!

After a while, you start wondering if all Australian wildlife are jerks. Adorable jerks, but jerks nevertheless. (Yes. The answer is yes, present company included).

WAIT!! I just learned BlueSky supports Maltese?! Ghagin… nope. Still can’t do a h with a line through it. Or a g with a dot above it.

Brain trust: how do I add an alphabet or language to my iPhone keyboard? I mean, sure. Less than 1M actually KNOW Maltese, but how else can I whinge about my failure to replicate Nannu’s Ghagin? I need my comfort food!!

Just spent the day at a Gem Expo with my 17yo and a handbag with dried fruit and chocolate snacks. Would this be your dream first date? 😉

Eldest spawnling (17) announced his latest geek passion: rocks. Hard core rocks. Just spent the day at a Gem Expo. Fun watching the real traders love his science brain and the scammers freak out. 🤣 Still want to hear about your latest geeky interests!

BTW: so glad we are moving away from the separation of disciplines. Like, who seriously thought science can only work with science?! Or law can only be Torts and Contracts. My best presentation assessments scored high because of my theatric flair!! Shout out to the Drama Club!

Nope, not fairy floss. This is a “Galaxy in a jar”; a mini art project during MacQuarie University’s Astronomy Open Night. N (14) is checking out the Talks on research in Astrophysics while Z (10) is geeking out with Art as a communication tool in science. STEAM-Powered geeks!!

🥰 Native foods or random urban landscaping? We have about 3wks until the Mulberry tree in the local park is ready to pick. 😋

For the 1st time since 2017, I have to bail on #PAXAus 😢 But I can live vicariously through others. Plus, I still have media coverage (remote) and plenty of news to share. Go and enjoy PAX Aus for me! I’ll have more to share soon! Link: https://evilgeniusmum.com/2023/09/19/10-steps-to-pax-aus-2023/
