I remembered my own school with this game! This is so sad…I scored 0 on my first attempt
amy-marie.bsky.social Amy Marie @amy-marie.bsky.social · 9d
i also started out class with this game that asks you to guess whether pictures are of a prison or school.

there are 20 but the game ends when you guess wrong.

my class today could not make it past two until we started seeing repeats.

let me know your score!

By far my favorite paper this year.
A collaboration between Mapuche elders—including Machi Patricia—and ecologists, reflecting on building trust and shared understanding in the face of environmental crisis.

Heard my first pied flycatcher of the year in Finland—its song was so different from the ones I heard last week in Catalonia. Turns out they really do sing differently across regions—and they learn it socially! Found out in (Rajan et al., 2024) doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

Puffin's Bluff
A puffin stands on the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean. "I always thought I'd get wiser and braver with time... but I'm only becoming more neurotic". We see its perspective, looking down at the rough water below. "Why am I like this? Does it help me?" A close up of the puffin's face, looking momentarily cheerful. "Maybe overthinking IS wisdom! I AM the contemplative figure, gifted with great insight". They look down again "...and nervous bowels".

Clusters of victims on their way across the Mediterranean sea.

I'm visualizing IOM data while working with D3 in HTML 📊🌍
Slide titled Treacherous Mediterranean routes, shows a map of the wider Mediterranean region with red and pink bubbles to show incidents in the Mediterranean sea or other regions respectively. The size of the bubbles is proportional to the number of victims (dead or missing people). The largest cluster has red bubbles in the North of Libya.
