Glencore: don't mine Argentina's glaciers -- protect them now. action.eko.org/a/glencore-d...

This is shocking! Like (I assume) many other researchers in both #archaeology & #ornithology - I rely on access to "low-use" books for my work. And as a former resident of NH & frequenter of the UNH campus, with friends there, I'm devastated to see this happening. Niche work requires niche texts.🏺🪶

A river runs through it.

I feel sorry for Man United and their fans - and I really don’t like Man United. But they are clearly a mid-table team these days. The days when they were Arsenal’s biggest rivals are LONG gone.

It's pretty pathetic that Susan Collins is only now working to affect Canadian tariffs, a few days before the mid-terms. Where was she for Roe v Wade and most everything else that has happened on her watch? And what's she got against Canadian canoes anyway? 🛶🛶🛶

Fall wall.

‪For #FindsFriday a pendant dating to the Viking Age: a woman is pulling her pretzel-like braids. The hair pulling gesture can be compared to the gesture of mourning known from classical antiquity. It’s unknown if there is a connection to the Viking age imagery.It has been suggested... 🧵1/2 📷️ me

Beautiul wood asters still dot the forest floor in southern Connecticut’s autumn woods.

I like early voting and I cannot lie.

Fantastic @craigtimes.bsky.social column on the history and status of wildlife crossings in Florida for panthers, turtles, and other critters, featuring an extended cameo by America’s favorite #roadecology book. floridaphoenix.com/2026/10/22/t...

Spotted lanternfly was recently detected in Canada for the first time in the Windsor-Detroit area. The invasive pest continues to spread through North America after first being detected in Pennsylvania in 2014. Read more: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #Entomology #Ecology #InvasiveSpecies 🌎🧪🍁

Chaos in Washington The new Private Eye is out now.

It's mushroom season.

Weir Pond on an October early morning (blue-headed vireo not pictured).

Sometimes I resent having to write women back into our disciplinary history (wondering what I might have achieved for prehistory itself in the time spent). But this work is important too. It’s important to know the mechanisms used to exclude women from society. And how they gained access anyway.

Lovely place Rousay. A 1939 dig of Taversoe Tuick organized by Walter Grant (of the Highland Park whisky family) found 35 disc beads, a pumice pendant, and two cattle scapula in the entrance corridor. 🏺

Excited to share our study of the latitudinal diversity gradient and how it may be modified by humans. Working with millions of bird observations across ~500 cities, we found that cities significantly flattened the diversity gradient for native birds in winter. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

My favourite sassafras tree.

'The Battle of Algiers' at 60 Film & conference 5-7 Nov St John's College & Picturehouse https://bit.ly/4gA17V6 Our event will look at this important film from different angles, disciplines and points of view, analysing how it can be seen, interpreted, and discussed in the 21st century

Some of the Hudson River lighthouses are pretty cute. This is the Esopus Meadows light a few miles south of Kingston, NY - built in 1871 and the only wooden one remaining on the river.

This is what the greenhouse looks like after you get the first frost warning of the season & have to get things in quickly! And after getting a large birds nest out of the heater.

It’s autumn alright.

It has been the honor of my life to serve as White House press secretary…

Wabanaki leaders just endorsed Hannah Pingree for Maine governor after she promised to restore their full tribal sovereignty. A 1980 law binds Maine's tribes to state law—treating them like towns, not nations. "Sovereignty is not a favor from the state."

Not even half a Mooch!! @scaramucci.bsky.social

After 7 years of salmon fishing restrictions, 25 tribes in western & interior Alaska just formed the state's largest tribal conservation district—putting tribal knowledge at the center of protecting lands, waters & wildlife.

Climate change is set to reduce our Puffins 90% by 2050. Conservation measures will do very little - if anything - stop this. Climate change is outpacing conservation.

"Sitting beneath the squat roof of an aesthetically pathetic 20th century structure in Berkley, Massachusetts, Dighton Rock is—in terms of being a runestone—complete and total bullshit. But that’s not its fault. It never claimed to be a runestone itself." #Vikings

About to be gutted by Congress unless enough people take action and change their minds.

If not football, why football-shaped?

Let's go, Sam Forstag! That's how you stand up for trans people on the national stage. If congressional candidates in western Montana—one of the most competitive House races in the entire country—can stand up for trans folks in every aspect of our lives, democrats everywhere should take note.

Huh. It's a real mystery as to what is driving inflation.

North America wasn't an untouched wilderness before European colonization; #Indigenous peoples actively shaped, managed, and sustained its ecosystems for centuries - and #dendrochronology can tell their history: 🏺🌳 www.newyorker.com/science/elem... via @newyorker.com

Georgia's Tybee Island saw a record 59 loggerhead sea turtle nests this year, part of a broader rebound for the species in the Southeast. The state recorded 4,174 nests, the most since 1989. According to biologists, conservation efforts are paying off.

Black-tailed #godwits #grutto #skries eat earthworms before nesting period and leatherjackets (Tipulid larvae) thereafter. This is a consequence of soils drying out (reducing earthworm availability) and leatherjackets growing in size across summer season. OPEN ACCESS: dx.doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

Still a few things in the garden - 4 Turkish eggplants (via the excellent seed source - Two Seeds in a Pod).
