Here is my contribution to #superseabirdsunday

Yes, alot of this rings true, unfortunately 👇🏻

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).

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. slate.com/technology/2...

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.

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 🏺🌳💍

It's gonna be a very long but rewarding day for you Ronald. Only 4 more sleeps! See you Monday morning!

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.

While claiming to seek peace, Russia launched a deadly airstrike on Kyiv. This isn't a pursuit of peace, it’s a mockery of it. The real obstacle is not Ukraine but Russia, whose war aims have not changed.

Latest in @theatlantic.com . Trump's plan is a no win for Ukraine. Whether Ukraine agrees or not, Trump will end sanctions on Russia and get back to business with Putin. Can we finally hear the end of the arguments that Trump is anything but Russia's ally? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Nine false or misleading statements in Trump's latest anti-Zelensky rant.

OK, sent out this free piece on the details of the Trump "final" plan for Ukraine that has been seen by Axios. The 5 points have basically been dictated by Putin. They set up a process which would allow Russia to expand into all of its neighbors. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Autistic people are not broken. They are not burdens. They are artists, athletes, workers, friends, partners, and taxpayers. They live full lives. And yes, they write poems. They go on dates. They contribute to their communities every single day. Autistic people deserve dignity and respect,

Just to be clear, this post earlier is now a crime 👇

We never had to doom scroll past midnight through posts about skyrocketing treasury yields, a collapsing bond market, and plunging stock futures when Joe Biden was president. The only reason they should have called him Sleepy Joe is because we were able to sleep at night.
