Hi @tag2025york.bsky.social team. Will you have an β€˜official’ # hashtag for the conference, so we can easily share & follow?

…Rather than 3+ organic splinter hashtag arising organically? Apologies if it exists and I’ve missed it

This. This is what we lose sight of when we delegate thinking to unthinking machines and pursue narrow, entrenched paths of knowledge.

Metaphor and analogy are fuel for inspiration by helping us transcend the obvious.

Stay curious & stay hungry for new ideas in whatever form they find you.

Guard stones, I think? πŸ€”
At least they are called in UK vernacular if they are erected beside a corner (or thing) to protect it from vehicles

Although our work is focussed on restoring natural #peatland habitats, it's also great to remember that there is a wealth of human history in these hills😊

It's important to retain these cultural connections to the landscape, while also trying to restore natural habitats for future generations 🌿

Update: we have sold a total of eight books this month. "The books go to their readers, one by one, quickly, slowly, halfway around the world or halfway across the city. There is no supply chain, only the postal network, irregular events, direct sales to bookshops, and local distribution."

Oh! Fab! Thanks for flagging πŸ’š

There must be so much original traditional landscape research behind this. It must be extra
magical for those who know the modern village & lanes well.

Shame the narrator voice sounds digital/ai rather than a real human, but that’s a small niggle.

Scotland’s first new broch for 2000 years wins planning approval The approval of the Caithness Broch Project’s plans represents a major milestone for their bid to build a β€œfaithful replica” on a site near Latheron.

Broch-tastic news. Taking experimental #archaeology to the extreme! Such a fantastic project, great news for #Caithness and Scottish archaeology. #IronAge #Broch #Scotland
