It’s also weird that this month marks the 250th anniversary of the first shots of the American Revolution- a conflict largely caused by tarrifs (and aggravated by a dispute over the Canadian border)

Disquieting, in that way when what you take as quiet, peaceful, suddenly speaks truth to power. #quakers #peace

So is trickster really trickster or is it the hat that’s the trickster that is manipulating the person? #TheOneRing had that kind of meddling behaviour, as I recall. #trickster #FolkyFriday #psychology

#StandingStoneSaturday I went off all social media for a while for all kinds of healthy reasons, so I hadn’t shared equinox pictures of my dawn moment at the #BronzeAge burial circle behind my house. Numb fingered, I drummed slowly to the dawn, a rhythm I’d only minutes before dreamt #archaeotherapy

The pool at #Powfoot on the #Solway coast, constructed at the end of the Victorian era, locals used it for bathing. Powfoot was partially developed as a resort but was never completed. The pool isn’t maintained, but during the summer kids still paddle. And a heron hunts trapped fish.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

A blessed St Bridget’s day to you. Not to be confused with tomorrow’s Imbolc, they sit next to one another but are not the same. Bridget is healing, poetry, black smithing, liminal places, milk. Imbolc is ‘in the belly’: survival through winter, lambs, new life, Spring. And is far more ancient.

There are roads that make you feel the longer you stay on them, the less certain they'll lead to your destination – not only in terms of place, but time. Roads connecting you to a sense of the land as one giant network of haunted hodology. Roads that you believe just might possess you. – #MattAdams

#rachelcarson had immense power with words. In the 60’s her wisdom shook the world, nearly enough to turn back from the path of ecological destruction. Nowadays we stomach the softer of her thoughts, preferring ideas of beauty over challenge, life over death. ‘Silent Spring’ needs re-reading.

A very interesting read. As a prehistorian who frequently came up against archaeological evidence of the horrendous impact of Roman colonialism on cultures, it doesn’t assuage any concerns at all that Musk prefers to associate himself with Romans. Has he not noticed the irony?

#StandingStoneSunday at the confluence of two rivers, the Balder as it runs into the mighty Tees, stands a cairn, with a carved stone atop. I’ve called it the ladybird stone, because it has a deep groove along its ridge, and cup marks on both sides.

Hello did you know that there's an ecosystem that is SEASONAL. It only exists in the winter. Because it's under the snow. Which mean, with climate change, an entire ecosystem could disappear. www.snexplores.org/article/subn...
snexplores.org
Life in the subnivium, beneath the snow, is at risk of melting away
The organisms that make winter homes in this subnivium help forests thrive year-round. But climate change is making this ecosystem disappear.

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

When we work with clients in burial grounds and Christian sites, #archaeotherapy requires that we pay attention to complex narratives about shared culture, religious and family traumas, shame and guilt, as well as fears around death. Too is found comfort, and an immediacy of spiritual connection.

#standingstonesunday a stone within the ramparts of the Iron Age enclosure, Ward Law in Dumfries and Galloway. Now cloaked in moss, and originally used most likely for walling, it sits within a forested circle atop a blustery hill. The Maxwells lit beacons here, foretelling of marauders and reivers.

In the winter wilderness, Wolf's spirit thrived. Fierce, untamed and free. She was known for her wild nature, her loyalty and her strength, and that was true. It was not all she was though; not all her truth. Wolf knew that her deepest power lay in the gentle touch of her soul. #WhenBeastsSpoke

The UK is notoriously depleted in wildlife flora and fauna. Vast swathes of upland landscapes are entirely managed for grouse, suppressing many other beings that should belong there. Please sign, and perhaps we will begin to see upland restoration for biodiversity, not just one species to shoot.
