Y’all. The world is dark. Tell me something good—something you’ve achieved, something that’s happened to you, something that brings you JOY. Flood the comments with happiness. I’ll start. My dogs and cat adore each other and cuddle every day. #JoyIsAnActOfResistance #MoreJoy

#TodayIRead 'How to Speak Whale' by @tommustill. Absolutely fascinating exploration of animal communication and the potential for humans to understand and converse with the creatures with whom we share the planet. Lots of science, and dives into the potential of Al to develop 1/2

translation models--but above all, wouldn't it be something to dive into the ocean and talk with the whales, those magnificent memory-keepers of the sea? #AmReading #WhatAmandaRead 2/2

#TodayIRead 'Horse' by @GeraldineBrooks . Geraldine does the most fascinating work weaving fiction using fact-her earlier 'Year of Wonders' was my first introduction to her writing. This, spread across three timelines and leaping into the world of horse racing and equestrian 1/2

#Today|Read 'Dear Life' by Alice Munro. I've previously found her characters difficult, but in this collection I found a few people to cheer for. It's said Alice writes like the Russian greats, but there's something about her writing that I like a lot more.

Her sharp observations and details have a certain weight. #AmReading #WhatAmandaRead

#TodaylRead 'Domestic Interior' by @writesfiona. This is the kind of poetry I love-it's not pretentious, it's not so metaphorical it's impossible to tell what it's actually about. There's a lot of the sacred ordinary in this one. It's quite beautiful. #AmReading #WhatAmandaRead

#TodayIRead 'The Night Guest' by Fiona McFarlane. Perfect dark undertone research for a project I'm working on later this year. Great buildup too—I had suspicions but then that one line and BANG. #AmReading #WhatAmandaRead

#TodaylRead 'Smokehouse' by @lissymanning . So well crafted— linked stories that show how we touch each other's lives, lightly and like earthquakes. Beautiful and stark and devastating. #AmReading #WhatAmandaRead

I’d been wanting to do this for ages. Art made in situ, using living specimens without removing them. Art that’s so much a part of the environment it’s generated from. These cyanotypes were made along the banks of Ginninderra Creek, using plants and creek water and sunlight. 1/2

#TodaylRead 'The Salt Path' by @raynor.winn. Extraordinary. Just extraordinary. A story of self discovery, of how we can recreate ourselves in the face of crushing adversity, and of the power of nature to heal. Ray and Moth, you are inspiring. I salute you.

#TodayIRead 'The Valley of Lost Stories' by @vanessamccausland. Deliciously twisty with a subtle darkness from the beginning that I really enjoyed. And an ensemble cast that captured a lot of the reality of modern parenting. #AmReading #WhatAmandaRead

#TodaylRead 'Kate Kelly: The True Story of Ned Kelly's Little Sister' by @rebeccawilsonart. I enjoy non-fiction and this is really well told—has the narrative feel of a novel, and gives intriguing insight into one of Australia's more mysterious women. No spoilers here 1/2
