Charlie Kelly’s pick for the Modern Armitage playlist was “It Makes No Difference (Concert Version)” by The Band.

I went from "huh, I've never considered who birds are named after" to IMMEDIATE beef with the American Ornithological society. I'm also a big fan of Mrs Chippy the boy cat, justice for Mrs Chippy! Thank you to @terrorcamp.bsky.social for a wonderful first Terror Camp! #terrorcamp2025
Things I learned at @terrorcamp.bsky.social this year:

-the word “scurbotic”
-the American Ornithological Society is my enemy
-I would take a bullet for a Norwegian museum curator named Anders whom I’ve never met
-you absolutely do not want to know how they figure out the age of a Greenland shark

After spending three wonderful days watching @terrorcamp.bsky.social I had to do a monoprint of our favorite captain, Francis Crozier. #printmaking #monoprint #theterror #franciscrozier

What a pleasure to moderate this conversation. Takeaways: joy, naivety/approaching your work like an amateur, integrity - all sit at the foundation of creative work that lasts in a world designed to make it seem disposable.
