  1. Sad news. I had no idea he was even sick. He and Gina Williams were a much loved double act. Their song Wanjoo (Welcome), which Williams sings in Noongar, is used as the welcome siren in several Perth schools.

    The word "Wadjemup" has been approved to the Codenames App dictionary as apparently I had a sympathetic jury.

    Possibly it is there and Rottenest isn't yet, take that, colonialism!

  3. @Cr_Sky Nidja baal moorditj! Ngany djoorap djinanginy! Winyarn, ngany menditj wer ngany yoowart koorliny.

    Thank you to my #Nyoongarlanguage teachers who have graciously shared their language with me and permit me to share what I have learned. It is a great gift which I treasure.

    This sounds awesome! I'm happy seeing!

  4. #sciencefictionconvention #sciencefiction #fantasy #genghiscon Genghiscon starts today, woo! Misssing those that can't make it, looking forward to playing with those who can, and whizzing off to the Rooftop Cinemas in the middle of it to watch Strange World with the Perth SF&F Meetup group on Saturday night! *phewf*

    Just have to water, finalise packing games and #Swancon promotio nal things and wondering if Wayfarer of the South Tigris is too much brain for people to teach and learn at a convention.

  5. @rdm has inspired me to finally do an #introduction - I think he's been on Mastodon less than 24 hours, and me, well, I've been active a little while. Better late than never?

    Kaya, nganyang kwerl leece, wer ngany Whadjak #Nyoongar boodja-k nyininy. I give my respect to the Nyoongar people, and to the Elders of the past, present and those who are to come.

    For tens of thousands of years they have lived, worked and played and cared for the land of South West Australia.

    They have been very kind to share their #noongarlanguage and their culture with me and I deeply appreciate that.

    Likewise my respect goes out to the Elders of First Nations everywhere.

    Hello, my name is leece, and I live on Whadjuk Nyoongar boodja. I have a passion for nature and #citizenscience and am a moderator for the Western Shield Camera Project on Zooniverse.

    Pronoun wise she/her is fine although I think baal/baalap is better. I'm an #artist - I have a Diploma in Fine Art (sculpture) but mostly 2d these days.

    I'm married to @rdm who is a really cool dude who joined me in my interest in #birdwatching , enthusiastically joined me in #mermaiding and taught me how to sail, and to manage a #kayak and generally watercraft, and already loved #sf and #fantasy #books #movies and #ttrpg as well as #boardgame

    #GURPS #gm too. I am a latecomer to the world of #lego but have become something of an #afol in the past year or two.
