Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.bsky.social? And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

I miss summer & the leaves on the trees, but not why you think My father told me the wind helps the trees sing, & if I listen carefully I will hear fragments of music familiar to me I am surrounded by a symphony of my musical life in our summer woodland. It reminds me of him

My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace. It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out.

Finally it's #HillfortsWednesday 🎉 During the 2019 excavations of Dinas Dinlle coastal hillfort in Gwynedd, I knocked up a pencil sketch of what the enormous 13-metre diameter roundhouse 🛖 might have looked like 🤔 It was good to help the public visualise this huge Romano-British home 🤩

@muddypaw.bsky.social mentioned #mentalhealth benefits of wargaming earlier. In Battlechat 106, I spoke to Dr Gary Colman about this very subject – he runs Game Therapy UK that uses D&D in particular for precisely that purpose. Listen from ~55:14 for flow discussion www.patreon.com/posts/935048...

For my new Bluesky friends, want to know more about Boudica? Here’s a podcast I recorded with BBC History Extra this summer, based on my book Echolands - A Journey in Search of Boudica. It’s also on YouTube if you’d rather watch it. Hope you enjoy it!

Fascinating.

Watch a little Guillemot chick fledge at only 20 days old, still completely flightless, seeking the safety of the open sea with its dad following behind - one of those iconic wildlife behaviour moments #wildlifephotography #ukbirding

Excellent tips here. I get locked in sometimes to my methods, great to see other insights.
