Certified Telescope Mechanics (Trust Us)

Diego and I drove into regional Victoria to fix a telescope dome because apparently that’s our life now.

We adjusted the focuser (it was vibing wrong), tried to mount a Celestron C14 on a pier (it said “no”), and realized we need an adapter the size of my ego.

It was dusty. It was weirdly emotional. One of us almost cried (me).

This is what happens when you give two guys tools, a telescope, and zero adult supervision. 🔧🔭🚙

I’m seeing the right wing press (including the BBC 🙄) emphasise that three #Yoorrook commissioners did not agree with the report’s key findings - and this seems to me a pretty blatant misreading of what the report in fact states, namely, that they “did not approve of the inclusion of the key findings in the final report” - that is, that while they did not support inclusion of the short list of key findings, there is absolutely nothing to suggest that except for pages 372-380 they do not stand behind EVERYTHING in the report as well as the interim reports, which includes all the evidence and reasoning supporting these “key findings” but also MUCH MORE.

They stand behind the report’s account of genocide. They stand behind the report’s account of historical and continued injustice. They stand behind all the report’s recommendations for redress, for reform, for self-determination and treaty (pp 394-432).

It is a pity that this situation has allowed to become blown up by bad faith actors as a distraction from the report’s findings of theft, illegality, and genocide, but to suggest the three commissioners disagreed with any of the “key findings” is simply not justified by the language in the report itself. #Australia

In quest for the Powerful Owl and the Variegated Fairy Wren, I spied this Eastern Yellow Robin.
