Life advice from my hunter ed course.
Illustration of two white men in blaze orange and camo handling a cheese cloth wrapped body in the bed of a pickup. With the words: “important: when transporting game, be sure to keep it covered to avoid offending others”

Supposedly he’s a bird dog but definitely he’s a beaver dog.

Good morning and happy beaverscape!

First archival visit in the books! Drove 1000 miles to find three priceless photos and a hand drawn map. 🙌🏽 God bless folks who meticulously add captions to the back of their photos. You are the real heroes!

Hey look y’all! @chaseprairie.bsky.social giving her Ph.D. exit seminar at the UW-Madison Arboretum and she’s killing it.
A woman in crimson stands at a lectern in front of a crowd in front of a projector screen themed “settler vision.” Where two white men note how many foods are available in the Lake Geneva area and what a coincidence that Native peoples were living nearby.

Looking to re-form the muskrat appreciation society over here on bluesky. My morning visit from this sweet little guy seemed like the perfect time. @drfishsg.bsky.social calling you in, brother!

Just browsing through @chaseprairie.bsky.social’s dissertation for fun on a Sunday evening, as one does, and I keep falling in love with new panels. Like this one! On the increasing white scientist embrace of Native fire.🔥
A comic panel features to humans with clown wigs and noses talking with each other. The header reads “Conservation often forgets people in the landscape.” And the subheading reads “Clown to Clown Communication.” The speech bubbles say “It’s so cool they lived here for thousands of years and never influenced the environment at all. Except for fire. And only fire.”
