Thanks Ruth! It was a surprisingly physical creation - my respect grows evermore for the quilters skill set!

Quilted my quilt 🥵 it was like feeding a tree into a wood chipper (my poor 🪡⚙️) & the iron died but here it is in all its wonky glory! It represents the LA mountains & the earth after a forest fire (there’s a Cali poppy seed sewn into the fabric for themes of regrowth and potential 🌱 ) #quilting

Of all the problems with AI, this is one use I can get behind: it transcribes the handwriting & then a human corrects it. I highly recommend @zooniverse.bsky.social - a great way to volunteer and get knowledge and heritage more accessible while working on collections from around the world 💕

Some wonderful Indigenous knowledge of Polar Bear ecology being recorded circa 1818. TW: he calls Inuit people 'Indians' - a problematic 'catch-all' term. Working on @acadnatsci.bsky.social 's collection. #indigenousknowledge #inuit #polarbear #bears #ecology #lifecycle

Ha ha ha! 😆
