Lessons from the Ceramic Fair: The object finds its owner. . Some people will simply not see your art. Some will turn away in disdain. But ONE will be drawn in as though hypnotised. They cannot look away. It’s love at first sight. 🙌 #potfest

A By-the-Wind Sailor (Velella velella) skeleton. Although it looks and feels like plastic, these are the organic remains of a colonial hydroid called a By-the-Wind Sailor. The ringed part is a floating base, and the clear fin acts as a sail, allowing winds to propel them across the ocean surface.

love the use of Zines accessible easy to share recently in in Smart D8 I used one to explain co-design www.instagram.com/p/DJtdTB-sKU...

We used zines in our Collective Intelligence workshops to gather rich, creative, valuable data and voices. Zines invite reflection, inclusivity & ownership—capturing insights that surveys miss. #OpenResearch #Zines #PublicEngagement

Huge respect to TCD for its brave, principled stance against genocide and its many enablers. As for Shatter & his fellow Zionists, well cry me a river. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...

This is Máire ní Mhurchú, a Cork woman who the IDF and Israeli police were intimidated and humiliated by when they lifted her from a Palestinian village that's been mostly destroyed by Israeli forces in the West Bank that they illegally occupy. www.irishtimes.com/world/europe...

how are we so in effective at stopping a genocide in Gaza? it shatters all my illusions about peace and justice

As Gaza faces over three months of Israeli blockade, a group of 12 activists is sailing to Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid. The mission includes the renowned Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who spoke with Democracy Now! live from the Madleen.

I am starting a PhD and am looking for grassland restoration/rewilding sites in Northern Ireland! Please forward this flier to anyone who might be interested in having their land surveyed for fungi!

Ah, democracy. A charming form of government, so full of variety and disorder. This week, we’ll witness one of the strangest forms of democratic exercise in Italy: One that politicians encourage you not to partake in. Our Declassified weekly humor column explains 👇

“The Secret to Creativity Is Knowing How to Hide Your Sources” I hate this saying, I am possibly the anti-version of this I explain why in this post on recent work about future ancestors

It’s always struck me as insane that clean electricity is tied to the price of polluting gas and oil…not just tied to it but charged at nearly 4 times the rate of gas per kWh. Hardly surprising that people hesitate before going to the expense and disruption of heat pump installation

is there a new book channel on blue sky where authors just share their newly published books and talk about them?

I wrote my upcoming verse novel Hekate inspired by ancient Greek poet and playwright Euripides’ structure. I loved writing this book and was bereft when I finished it. It’s one of those stories that lingers - an intimating goddess of necromancy telling us her origins.

22-year-old Māori lawmaker Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke was just suspended for 7 days over the haka she initiated in New Zealand’s Parliament last year. “The rules of Parliament don't really see or fit Māori people,” she told @teenvogue.com, in the profile we ran just last week.

An exciting battery project - based on rusting iron! - is being developed in Donegal, one of Ireland's most remote outposts. It's a new ultra long-duration energy storage tech, and the subject of my latest column: www.irishtimes.com/environment/...
