Remembered & laughed/cried: shared a conference talk w my family yrs ago & my sister's bf (who had flashed me on tour when I couldn't leave) tried to get out of it so I yelled at him "IF I HAD TO SEE YOUR PENIS YOU CAN WATCH MY TALK 😡" (yes the whole family knew about it & was completely ok w it)

Mining, including the extraction of transition minerals, leads every sector in attacks on environmental & human rights defenders. 40% of those killed were Indigenous, a reflection of the fact that more than half of all critical minerals lie in or near Indigenous land. grist.org/indigenous/i...

Posting through it bc I woke up with a gross migraine featuring nausea and vomiting AND then dropped a knife on my foot and there was lots of drippy blood but I was too nauseous and dizzy to clean it up thoroughly at the time and now my kitchen floor is sticky but it's blood

Hi Besties. I really genuinely need to start making some big moves toward a work transition for my personal peace and sense of ethics (no I'm not quitting Chatham). If you Know Things about freelance writing/editing/research type work for people with science PhDs I'd love advice.

The scorn heaped on "Underwater Basket Weaving" was based on college courses in experiential indigenous anthropology. Reeds are traditionally softened underwater to make them flexible for bending into baskets. It's a more useful skill for most than memorizing the 3 orders of ancient Greek columns.

Saw so much one-flowered cancer root in my fav rich mesic diabase woods last week. 😭 They parasitize members of the aster family and this specimen is growing right next to a white wood aster that might be its host #ParasiticPlant
