Actually holding a physical copy of Craft of Historical Research, what a joy! Very much the book I wish I’d had as a student, so happy to see it out in the world. 🗃️ You can find it as an affordable paperback or eBook.
Can’t find this word “tenses” used this way in OED. Suggestions? “… it is only the sea man… who must be favoured with the indulgence of a child in his moods, and punished as a brute in his tenses.” Lionel Yexley, Our Fighting Sea Men, London 1911 page 28 🗃️

You just never know what the field marks will be for a new species, I noticed this male pattern baldness 😆 while photographing the heck out of this pair of birds in the rainforest only to later learn that Merlin cites this “black yarmulke” as definitive for a Whooping Motmot. 🪶 #nature #panama

Watching Frieren with subtitles. As a beginner Japanese learner, it’s very in keeping with the vibe of the show that the words I’ve picked up from it are なぜ (“why?”) and the ambiguous そうか (“… I see” or “maybe”). @smilodonna.bsky.social

The Hand is a stop-motion masterpiece -- and one of the very best animated films.
Director Jiří Trnka made it as a protest, attacking the dictatorship that used him as its pawn. But the film has more layers than many realize, as we discover:
