Ok! Clips that will attach the seed packs to the posters have been added. Next batch of seeds arrives tomorrow, so I can make seed packs of these 3 species (milkweed is already here, stratified in my fridge).
Should be able to get them out into the neighborhood this weekend??

Shameful interview about gender-affirming trans healthcare on today's @npr.org Here & Now. The UK is an example of how NOT to treat trans youth. No mention of the recent report from several European countries that SUPPORTS trans healthcare for minors and rebukes the Cass Review. (1/)

Visited Thomas Abernethy yesterday after a long time. His gravestone had survived another winter - no mean feat in Peterhead AND facing the sea - but this is Abernethy, whose widow would have needed a massive wall of granite to reflect his service record in the Arctic and the Antarctic alone.

1898 memorial window to Edward Oates, Lord of the Manor of Over Hall, in Gestingthorpe.
Erected by his children incl Capt Laurence Oates, the man on Scott's Antarctic expedition in 1912 who went into the blizzard to die in hope of saving his fellow explorers.

I should also say that this museum is completely volunteer-led. They are redoing their displays, and clearing out objects that are not linked to Newhaven, so there's room to develop a narrative of Newhaven's long history. The Brazen wreck is an important part of their identity. #NavalHistory
Photographed some artefacts from wreck of HMS Brazen in 1800. I tried to see if the spoon had been engraved, and who the maker was. It looks like there's a W and an N visible on the back of the stem. Who might be able to help? Recommendations gratefully received! @danpascoe79.bsky.social

In 1960, Library and Archives Canada took possession of a can of Mystery Meat recovered from Beechey Island in Nunavut, and put it on display.
(They thought it was a #FranklinExpedition artefact, but it's likely to have been from the Search. Image below is of a replica).

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon.
But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

Business in Hispanic neighborhoods is already down: restaurants, grocery stores, everything. Immigrant customers and employees are afraid to leave their houses.
If they can't leave, we can. Show up for your immigrant neighbors and their businesses, everywhere.

Robert Anstruther Goodsir died OTD in 1895, aged 71. Much of his life is opaque. But what we /do/ have shows a brave, brilliant, compassionate man, who often put himself at great risk to help others.
He's also the best writer by far of all the people who searched for the #FranklinExpedition.

Please help me! I’m on X because that’s where my paintings sell. I shift about 95% of my work there. If I could just get my followers up to the same level here, it would release me from the swamp. I live in the middle of nowhere so I rely on social media to share & show my work.

Flew over Greenland a few days ago. That was a cool experience. I had the only open shade on the plane. Look what they all missed out on! I am guessing the mountains are flat-topped from glacial/icepack action.
