Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Just a little reminder. Our Special Issue 'Dendrochronology and Knowledge of the Human Past'. Several papers online, and more being reviewed. But we decided to extend the paper submission deadline to the end of the year. Looking forward to your paper (detail from Ringsaker, photo: Aoife Daly).

It never ends. Last night three local Texas activists, along with a Democratic leader, gathered at the Texas Capitol to show support for Rep Nicole Collier.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.
Vice-President JD Vance confirms he has joined BlueSky.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 85 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or, today, a video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Lots of things I like about freelancing, but having to explain that I don’t get a paycheque every month and therefore can’t do things for free is not one of them.

Freelancers have no sick leave, no paid holidays and no benefits, and if we do something for free it means less time to earn in.

In 2022, Marta, Kristof and I started a tradition, gathering researchers of wooden cultural heritage for a hugely successful conference in Amsterdam, From Forests to Heritage. FF2H continued with a second meeting in Helsinki 2024.

So in a two hour call he got a commitment from Putin to begin negotiations to negotiate a ceasefire to lead to a negotiation to end the war.

Translation: Putin gave him nothing and continues to play Trump like a fiddle.
