Great day out with the @greenhouseuis.net on Kvitsøy today, talking about what's working, how we can improve the Greenhouse, and what's ahead. Also having fun with everyone at the Lobster Museum and Hatchery! 🦞 🦞 🦞 (I did buy a t-shirt).

Three absolute legends and a great cover. All signs positive! #envhum

Everyone is, quite rightly, taking issue with Trump's complaints about a museum saying "how bad slavery was" - but it's also worrying that he is annoyed that a MUSEUM is saying "nothing about the future."

Can't wait for Marion to help Emmy with her funding applications

Migrants, Mosquitos, and Malaria: Histories of Constructing Enemy Threats Trump’s immigration policies echo WWII-era propaganda linking disease and race, weaponizing public health fears to justify deportations and dehumanization.

Amazingly proud of our daughter Marion who has published this article with @nichecanada.bsky.social! A new generation Jørgensen academics has begun! @dollyjorgensen.bsky.social

I kind of missed my daily updates (conferencing with a child is very different!) but one of many other highlights from ASLE-UKI Galway was hearing Richard Kerridge's short story 'Flooded'

Day 1: Keynote from Dr Nessa Cronin: "Radical Hope in Dark Times" and my talk on the Crude Tunes panel about boll weevils and Black American automobility in 1930s blues tunes

I was really hoping someone would say Chow....was a popular "automobile dog"

A black-and-white advert for an automobile, with a society woman and her dog being shown in by their chauffeur. The caption reads: "Carriage of the Aristocracy"

Can someone who knows more about dogs than me confirm what breed the dog in this picture is? Looks a bit Shiba-y but not sure (I think this is New York City in 1916, as featured in Vanity Fair.

Its for a thing.
