It's East and South East Heritage Month in the UK! 🥳 I will be running an event featuring three amazing activists who are ESEA and LGBTQ+. The event is free to attend and will be held online. Please repost this so more people can know about it! Details: www.eventbrite.com/e/queer-esea...

If anyone is interested, the paper from my postdoc I left (coming up to 3 years now?!) got published: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Just FYI I've forgotten everything and so removed from academia now, so please direct any questions to @volcanojenni.bsky.social @davidmpyle.bsky.social

WELCOME TO VOLCAKNOWLEDGE! The podcast exploring how volcanoes interact with nature culture and society, featuring new guests every episode. Hosted by @smitchellscience.bsky.social Season 3 is JUST around the corner!! 🌋 So stay tuned for an exciting first episode with some VERY famous geology...

The symposium is free to attend and abstracts are free to submit, although there will be some social events and field excursions for which expenses will be collected locally in cash. Abstracts and registrations are still open! Check out the website or contact me for more info. www.thevolcano.world

We are thrilled to announce that the meeting will feature a keynote from Patricia Mothes from Instituto Geofísico of the Escuela Politécnica Nacional (IG-EPN @igepnecuador.bsky.social ), who has a wealth of experience on each of the symposium themes, and is sure to provide some terrific insights.

Are you a volcanologist or working in an adjacent field? Consider signing up for Niigata University’s 1st international symposium on “Volcanology in Practice”: www.thevolcano.world which will run from 7th–10th of October 2025 in Niigata, Japan, endorsed by @iavcei.bsky.social. #volcano #science ⚒️🌋

Calling all volcanologists and scientists in related fields: introducing the 1st Niigata University international symposium on "Volcanology in Practice," to be held between the 7th and 10th of Octobver 2025 in Niigata, Japan. More details are available here: www.thevolcano.world.

This Pride I want to connect with and amplify more trans people who work in nature/ecology/conservation so please say hi and do a little introduction if you're trans and work with plants, animals, fungi etc. I'll repost and create a starter pack if enough people respond 🏳️‍⚧️

I'll be on the roster as a Flood Warning Duty Officer by August and will be appreciating the close relationship we have with the Met Office in order to make the important decisions of issuing flood alerts or warnings. True, we are experiencing understaffing etc ourselves but not to this degree.

Probs the only time I wish for an edit button 😂 I am finding it funny though.

Happy Pride Month! We will be in Edinburgh on Thursday supporting this fantastic event! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ 🎟️: www.ai-ethics.org/queer-data-s...

Happy Pride Month to the queerly inclined 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Make a homophobe/queerphobe/transphobe mad by being apologetically you 🫶🏾

I made these for five reasons: • Trans Pride 🏳️‍⚧️ • Aesthetic jewellery 🌿🧝‍♀️✨️ • Science communication through #SciArt • To afford trans-affirming costs • A niche joke about kerning I will not elaborate on the order of importance

Today's the big day! There are 22 planned protests all over the UK and even one abroad! Find out if there's one near you here: whatthetrans.com/compilation-...

If you still vote for, or are a member of the UK Labour Party after reading this, you have no morals, empathy or awareness of the Holocaust*. What a nasty bunch the fundamentalists of the English Labour Party are. Solidarity to UK Queer, & especially trans, people.

I was considering writing some thoughts to help cis people understand what's going on and what's needed... but I see who likes my posts about trans news and I can extrapolate who doesn't, so what's the point? Other than a very few allies who already know the things, who's going to read it?

If wondering what cards, its Digimon Card Game. An obvious focus is getting all the volcano-themed Digimon.

Yes I've been away for a while. Don't expect me to increase my presence here. Anyway updates: • Came 8th place in my category for a national archery competition • Got a local recognition award at work • Almost a Flood Warning Duty Officer • Embraced my inner nerd and started collecting cards

More stuff from the Fab-lab-ulous! science show... In the show I make a rainbow density column to talk about lahars and @grumpyvolcano.bsky.social's volcanology background. It takes a lot of patience...but look how pretty it is!

I am not a federal employee, but many of my colleagues are. The work they do to better understand + inform the public on volcanic hazards is deeply important. We are a team. The attacks on education and NSF harms our shared mission. There is no public sector equivalent for the operational work we do

"But what can I do, I'm just a person" I'd rather see small acts of community help rather than passive defeatism. Even if you manage to help just one person, that's better than none. Now imagine if everyone dropped the defeatist attitude and helped.

Got to see one of our drones in action, which is the one I requested to get aerial photos of the location of groundwater flooding. Certainly helped confirmed that the river isn't flooding at least 😅

Please consider donating to Alaa’s fundraiser! And share widely. ⬇️

Closing out this URGENT call to get together March rent for H, his wife, and their two toddlers. Your help has gotten them out of their tent of 20 people and into an apartment. This is lifesaving & must be sustained. Please share! Give/accountability:

NEW ✨ @rkdasgupta.bsky.social @lsegender.bsky.social shares a selection of 10 recent books exploring LGTBQ+ culture, politics and history in #SouthAsia for #LGBTHistoryMonth 2025 🌈📚👇 @lgbthm.bsky.social @lselibrary.bsky.social

Our talk is this Monday! We will be discussing what asexual, aromantic and agender experiences look like in STEM, including what the overlaps of these identities can look like. Thank you to everyone who shared their experiences via our Google form!

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Before and after. These bastards are trying to erase queer and trans people from the history of the Stonewall uprising. To pretend 'LGB civil rights' are a thing. Neither would exist without our trans and queer siblings, and no amount of revisionism will change that.

Like pulling teeth. tiny.cc/HelpBasma

🔆 Have you heard the good news about getting a solar panel to help 20 families charge devices and pump water? 🔆 Basma is trying to empower her community with these basic needs and we can help. Just 187 from the short goal! Every little bit is huge.

And here is my set in full, enjoy! 🌋🎮 youtu.be/Qjfitj51t8Q

Did it, had fun! Nice to step the toes back into my two favs: volcanoes 🌋 and videogames 🎮...even if it was only for 12 minutes 😅 Maybe next one should be archery in videogames? 🤔🎮🏹

I’m back with the next installment of the Voices of Gaza series. Here I feature Areej, who dreams of completing her medical training in obstetrics and gynecology. As always, please donate and share widely. For as long as she can remember Areej has wanted to become a doctor. gofund.me/8da5da2d

H asked us to respect his and his toddlers' privacy & dignity. This is the least we owe them as they continue to struggle to survive! One way to help is to keep them housed. We need 300 by the 21st for March rent. Let's do it. Give/accountability:

The main DEI page from @agu.org has been modified to take diversity out of the title. Glad to see it's not deleted entirely, but hey AGU, we're watching what you do and remembering the big game you once talked about supporting your diverse membership. Today vs. January

Tomorrow is Show Day! Join us at the Cockpit Theatre, from 7pm GMT! With @standupmaths.bsky.social, Steve Mould, @mjhibbett.bsky.social @grumpyvolcano.bsky.social @gillyforrester.bsky.social @canopyrobin.com and Mara Reynolds Please note, Helen won't be at tomorrow's show! 🎟️ fotsn.com/tickets

Folx who make games, what's your go-to program for layout design? Adobe InDesign? Affinity Publisher? Something else? As someone still relatively new to making games, I've stuck to digital thus far so Canva has been enough to get going with, but in future I want to produce physical stuff. Ta! 🙏🏻

Begging folks in the UK who are acting as armchair commentators on the US rollback of DEI initiatives actually pay attention to how it’s emboldening your politicians here to be louder about their anti-DEI politics.

As the Cell Lead, I'm going to make the call to get the drone out since I can't go out next week.

Took a while, but I was determined. I love the rainbow border cards, the art is so lovely.

Tell the people in your lives that we can bring electricity to 20 families in Basma's community - so they can LIVE. Water is virtually impossible to get - not just for drinking, but cleaning + medical uses. This is why your impact is VERY material. The short goal is 5k on Chuffed and we're CLOSE.

My sister @shantini.bsky.social is my rock—a model for transforming survival into a beautiful life of chosen family, joy, and hope. Today's her birthday and we're asking for contributions to Mohamed's survival fund to mark it. Nothing is too small. Sustain Palestinian life.
