Sunrise. The sun just before it broke the horizon, over a flat danish landscape. Orange clouds.

Sunrise. Off to Eurodendro in Riga.

Fox writes that, under the photo of Epstein with a fake check, it reads "fully dedicated". Fox are liars.

And Fox lies.

It says "fully depreciated" you evil fucks!

Close-up view of one of the sculpture components from an altarpiece at Ringsaker Church, Norway. The carved surface also has a guild stamp, in the form of a hand, known from 17th century works from Antwerp.

Just a little reminder. Our Special Issue 'Dendrochronology and Knowledge of the Human Past'. Several papers online, and more being reviewed. But we decided to extend the paper submission deadline to the end of the year. Looking forward to your paper (detail from Ringsaker, photo: Aoife Daly).

It's the flowers and their colours that I like. What is it? Does it have a stamp on the base?
Chocolate cake looks delicious too, by the way 😋

I love that porcelain

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

It never ends. Last night three local Texas activists, along with a Democratic leader, gathered at the Texas Capitol to show support for Rep Nicole Collier. Collier who had refused to sign a GOP-mandated “permission slip” requiring a Department of Public Safety escort and instead staged an overnight

yeah I've had a sudden follow frequency of similar profiles. I'm not following back, and I'm blocking the obvious ones.

Thanks for that👍🏻

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 85 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or, today, a video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Very nice. Who did the dendrochronology?

Lots of things I like about freelancing, but having to explain that I don’t get a paycheque every month and therefore can’t do things for free is not one of them.

Freelancers have no sick leave, no paid holidays and no benefits, and if we do something for free it means less time to earn in.

In 2022, Marta, Kristof and I started a tradition, gathering researchers of wooden cultural heritage for a hugely successful conference in Amsterdam, From Forests to Heritage. FF2H continued with a second meeting in Helsinki 2024.
now this: From Forest to Heritage 3 will be in Austria 🏺🌳💍

So in a two hour call he got a commitment from Putin to begin negotiations to negotiate a ceasefire to lead to a negotiation to end the war.

Translation: Putin gave him nothing and continues to play Trump like a fiddle.

I Can’t Be Silent About This How dare they call themselves followers of Jesus?

Habeas Corpus Is on Death Row Stephen Miller plans to kill habeas corpus; giving Trump the power to jail critics, to jail anyone, indefinitely. They did it to me; you’re next.
