Astronaut Jeremy Hansen is taking Indigenous culture past the Moon: his mission patch was designed by Henry Guimond, an Anishinaabe artist, incorporating one Indigenous perspective about the seven sacred laws, which are represented by animals. 🧪 #ArtemisII

"Rozz was a very young gay man singing about blood, loneliness, guilt and death at the start of “Gay Cancer” aka the AIDS crisis." To mark the anniversary of his death I updated the essay I wrote about Rozz Williams and Christian Death for @marchxness.bsky.social's March Vladness contest.

All my space people I follow on here being excited about today's space thing is making me feel like maybe it's okay to get excited about today's space thing, too, so thank you, space people. 💙🙂 I do want to be excited.

A hard day, but I got a sweet zine in the mail: inspired by our "Good Pets of UVA Library" free zine (zinebakery.com/homemade-zin...), Furman U Libraries created their own long version 🐾 And my tulips planted 2 years ago opened up; love seeing plants return each spring w/no intervention from me:

“We were born at the beginning of these things, at the time of / chemicals combining, at the time of stream run off. / These things were a part of us and would become more a part of us / but we did not know it yet.” —Juliana Spahr, “Gentle Now, Don’t Add to Heartache”

I managed to lose the NG in London which was after Tate London & before the Hermitage - so add 1 to the scores after that. It had 4.1m visitors. I really need an editor

It’s just wild to me that we didn’t know what the far side of the Moon looked like until the 50s. Here’s a globe from that era that lives in our university library. They used the far side as a legend, since they did have any images to use.

Ok for the next 24 hours this is a moon stan account only* *unless It happens.

The BookFish Returneth! Inspired by a post by @jessemlocker.bsky.social, my #NewberryLibrary Edible Book Festival entry today channels this well-nigh unbelievable story about a fish found in 1626 with a book inside it. A Big Fish portending ALL sorts of things. Here's the source material. 📚🐟🧵 1/?

The Endless (2017). Two brothers who left a UFO cult a decade ago receive a cryptic message that lures them back, only to find that whatever is there has begun to digest reality itself. Cosmic horror done quite well on a shoestring, with a good cast that ports it over its wobbly parts.

I was invited to lead an paper on teaching ocean science using Dungeons & Dragons for a Folklore journal, with my podcast crew, and it is by far the most fun I've had writing an academic paper, ever. I cannot wait for you to read it.

Designed to look like books, these ceramic objects are actually flasks or hand warmers. They are thought to have been filled with hot water or coal to warm the hands of the wearer on a cold winter's day. They functioned as a sort of ceramic hot water bottle. The perfect gift for book lovers!

Honoured to speak at the French Perm Rep in Brussels on why #DeepSeaMining needs a timeout. ⏸️🌊 We barely understand the deep ocean, yet some are ready to industrialise it. That makes no sense. Give science the space to catch up 🔬 Give nature the benefit of the doubt 🐙 #DefendTheDeep

I like biomimetic, I like 3D printing, and I like seaurchins, so 3D printable stractures derived from reproducing seaurchin spines is very much up my alley. (Also, this study shows that seaurchins might have an electric sense). 🧪🌊 Link: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just a reminder that grievance parents don't dictate the supports that Autistic people need or the struggles that we have And most of us wish to #EndAutismSpeaks because they do not speak for us Generally, they speak for grievance parents which doesn't always align with centering Autistic people

It figures that these two would have the most boring art collection in all of greater London. Lots of landscapes, Dutch genre scenes, early Georgian portraits, and a huge-ass ugly tapestry. It screams: "I don't collect art, I inherit it."
