I especially love this diagram.

Exciting collaboration with Australian First Nations Wardandi artists Vivian Brockman Webb and Mitchella Hutchins and Scottish/Australian land artist Elaine Clocherty as well as lots of Glasgow artists for @glasgow2026.bsky.social festival. More info: www.elaineclocherty.com/glasgow-2026...

Bison giubato just got back from a festival. Bison giubato has borrowed some woodworking tools from Cabionara (vol. 3) but hasn't had time to do anything with them. Bison giubato isn't listening to your story but also won't talk about anything else.

This is cool. A couple years ago I got a Here's-a-Hardhat-Look-Thoughtful tour of the sewage reclamation plant in Irvine—sewage in at one end in a big pipe, and drinking water out the other in a small pipe. Part of a real 1960s Spaceship Earth tradition, inseparable from the freeways.

Oh hey it's #EarthDay and @solarisbooks.bsky.social are having a sale on books full of the wild places, ecological themes and excellent (or fucked up) beasties! Go fill yer boots! 🌍📚🖤

Seventeen vast crumbling bullet-ridden battle-scarred migration ships, each one the size of city, riding the waves of space along unknown routes, away from planet Earth. The dying Earth. The whole armada powered by the last remaining Commodore 64, circa 1987.

Who else needed to see more rainbow sea slugs this week? 🌈 These photos of Babakina anadoni we're taken by @yolandave_24 in Falmouth. #nudibranch #seaslugs #intertidal #rockpooling

So sad. I remember (90s) when Gifford Pinchot was a symbol of what environmentalists were fighting _against_—forest as harvestable crop vs forest as self-contained preexistent universe. Now the idea of sustainable harvest (as opposed to pure short-term asset stripping) is enough to make him a hero.

This is so, so well-articulated.

New today from Reckoning X, our celebratory, extra-fancy tenth anniversary issue: "Camouflage", a painting by @rainjordan.com in which a dodo cosplays as a fan coral to fake out approaching colonizers reckoning.press/camouflage/

saw a cool image—sort of Moebius x Ragged Trousered Philanthropists—which turned out to be midjourney, on a blog that should have known better. Searched upstream to likely influences, then downstream to contemporary humans with similar influences, rediscovered @harriorrihar.bsky.social. So great.

Sara Cardona: "so many of the #preColumbian figures have gaping mouths and eyes—they are on shamanic journeys—and they give me the sensation that they are not just seeing an ancestral deity, but maybe…looking at us. So I…return them to the contemporary world" 1/2 www.revuecolle.com/issues/vol-2...

this is such good news. If anything happened to BHL it would change the course of waterwayscollective.org zine-making.

This showed up in my feed adjacent to the news that Meta is going to introduce versions of your feed that continue without you after you're dead. Same conjuration tradition.

There's an unrealised world of weird LLM variants, and then there's the form that big corps locked LLMs into within 5 min of creation.

How much temperate rainforest could there be in the UK and Ireland, and where? Despite campaigns calling for restoration in both countries, these questions have been difficult to answer. In our new paper we assess the evidence base 🌏🧪🌐🌳🌲 1/9

a hundred thousand idling diesel cars. Energy requirement of a quarter million homes. For *one* data centre. aprs.scot/press-releas... Can we replace the word "hyperscale", which sounds like slick sci fi but is hiding horrors? "earthcrusher-scale"? "demon-summoning-scale"?

Ooh I like this one: Five classes I took at university * The End is Near! (actual title: apocalyptic traditions) * Chaos and Dynamical Systems * Introduction to Buddhist Art History * Quantum Mechanics * History of Jazz sort of eclectic but sort of all on a theme, in retrospect.

This makes me want to be a biochemist, or be Björk, or believe in gods, or I'm not sure. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn8A...

Ocean zine making in the pub during #OSM26! Please join waterwayscollective.org and the @mastscot.bsky.social Energyscapes Working Group for an evening of #zines and collage in a cosy #Glasgow pub, following day 1 of the 2026 Ocean Sciences Meeting. Sign-up link below, spread the word!

LivingMaps is hosting an online panel discussion with waterwayscollective.org on 3 Feb, where we will share some of the scientific visualisations, zines, and performance materials that have grown out of our #art-science field trips following #Scottish #salmon #rivers. Tickets below. Should be fun!

yes @mobydickatsea.bsky.social-bot, I am in fact I am warming up for a weeklong meeting about the Atlantic Meridional Conveyor Belt, its moods and its long sufferings at our hands. Maybe all #leviathan literature is #AMOC literature.

My 'winter abstractions' embroidery series has just gone live! Snow and ice over water in various shades of blue and teal. There was a focus on shape for these aerial landscapes, both in the water and ice... it was great to explore! Now all here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a... #art

@monicabyrne13.bsky.social 's novel _The Actual Star_ completely shook up how I think about radically transformed climate futures and resilience (in a good way!) and I bet this online course will be amazing.

"Breath…is repeatable and trainable, yet also unpredictable and resistant." This conversation about inspiration goes lots of unexpected places. Ultimately I think it's about finding comfort and rhythm in bodies and creative practices that are always a bit creakier and wheezier than one envisioned.

But none of us are in heaven yet.

This megathread of "craziest archive stories" from @appuhn.bsky.social is like actually existing #troikarpg*. Radioactive books on radioactivity; trout; castles; nuns with ladder opinions; maybe I should become an archivist? *(sci-fantasy farce of your choice, if you don't yet play #troikarpg)

“You want to have some bright people work through scenarios of how [AMOC collapse] could interact & cascade across society... we’re only just starting to, with minimal trust foundation kind of financial support, no public money... which is a bit odd.” - Prof. Tim Lenton @gsiexeter.bsky.social

"The Bath paper one morning announced the arrival of the Dowager Viscountess Dalrymple...; and all the comfort of No. — Camden Place was swept away for many days."

"At some point an important moment in singing: the Turoń faints, and then everyone tries to resuscitate it by massage, lighting hay as a kind of an incense, blowing wind under its tail, pouring vodka into the muzzle of effigy and undoing hexes" wikipedia.org/wiki/Turoń, via minouette.bsky.social
