Welcome to the Anthropocene.
Friday. Antarctica. 1950s
Thursday. A story begins…
Wednesday. A glimpse into the archives of Tony Foster, artist explorer.
The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.
An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.
So finish the thing.
Took my students on an edgelands field-trip today, following running water against its flow, from city centre to the springs where it rises.
The social lives of water; river as agent, presence, organiser.
Cold, crisp winter light.
As the day died, we found this strange sign.
Backwards in two senses.
Tuesday. Another nice iceberg.
Nog totally unimpressed with today’s research. B is for bored 😆🐕
Monday. Love this. Worth remembering…
@nikitagill.bsky.social 👌🏻⭐️
Sunday sunshine. Bluesky birds and a beer or two. One of the very good days.
#Seabirds #SuperSeabirdSunday #KingPenguins #MacquarieIsland

Yes, explorers love biscuits.

One Friday. Many penguins…

Happy Wednesday.
One from the archive. Iceland we love you. 💙🇮🇸
Tree.fm allows you to listen to a random forest. This is beautiful.
Can I just take a minute to celebrate the #kidlit community here on Bluesky. Children’s book people weren’t just early adopters, they stayed. They stayed, and organized, and remained engaged, even back when it was quiet. They kept the fire burning until the sunrise.
I see you #kidlit.
💙❤️
Aye aye 👍🏻 ⭐️🐧📚
