Took a break from #4S2025 to visit Elliott Bay Books. It’s always fun to see @dukepress.bsky.social books out in the wild! 🧊🔥

this Transactions piece had been in the slow cooker for many years I'm so glad that it's out!

Really excited to start reading @sprucehen.bsky.social 's new book 'Ice Geographies'! From reading the prologue I can tell this is exactly the kind of narrative I hope to see more of in the coming years - and I'm sure this book'll help achieve that :) Plus the cover art is wonderful!

What looks like an amazing book by a brilliant Indigenous scholar is on sale through the link below (and blurbed by the greats @hiokinai.bsky.social Hi'i Hobart and @brdemuth.bsky.social Bathsheba Demuth). Arctic governance and colonial administration are the most fascinating topics!

I always wish we were hit with fewer athleisure ads and celebrated more loudly the proper origins of #InternationalWomensDay: that March 8 is for explicitly acknowledging women's labor, both in the home and in the workplace—and in solidarity with labor movements around the world. #三八 #國際勞動婦女節 #IWD

“Until now, much of the temperature proxy data from this epoch have come from marine sediments or terrestrial archives from middle or high latitudes, but little has been known about how temperature changed in the tropics.” This is a great piece I wish I had it before I wrote my ice core chapter!
