This morning in 1945—at 5:29 AM (Mountain War Time)—about 35 miles southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, the nuclear age began with a big bang. Contrary to later widespread assumptions, the area surrounding the remote TRINITY test site was not uninhabited, and the fallout did not drift away harmlessly.

A black and white, high-speed photograph of the Trinity explosion at 0.025 seconds, showing what looks like a very large, slightly irregular bubble with a curtain of dust all around its bottom edge against a pitch dark sky. A scale indicating “100 meters” shows that the fireball was already approximately three times that size.

Another black and white photograph of the Trinity explosion a few milliseconds later, showing an almost ghostly mushroom cloud with glowing tendrils rising from the ground above the very bright fireball.

A black and white photograph of the Trinity mushroom cloud with the same 100-meter scale, this time at 60 seconds post-detonation, showing a very large and billowy mushroom cloud rising high into the sky. The sky is less black and more gray, illuminated by the light from the cloud.

Another black and white photograph of the Trinity mushroom cloud taken some minutes after the previous photograph and showing the ominous looking mushroom cloud at a distance, its top spreading out and merging with regular clouds. With the sun rising, the sky is beginning to illuminate.

A friend who works at a school told me that kids don't know how to tell the time from a non-digital clock now, which got me thinking about "clockwise" & "anticlockwise" before clocks were a thing... I've been very much in favour of us reverting to Sunwise and Widdershins ever since. Wonderful word 🖤

A collage piece by Noriko Suzuki Bosco, it pictures packaging with a tropical view of a mountain (Mt Fuji) in blue and pink with some collaged white paper animals in the foreground, a monkey, a tiger and some white swans flying in the background.

Kathleen Furey Mám Éan’ (the 'Pass of the Birds’). Tetra Pak print. In Tim Robinson’s book, Listening to the Wind, (which is the first volume in his Connemara Trilogy), the chapter Curse and Blessing talks about a day climbing to the sacred site of Mám Éan. Mám Éan, ‘the pass of the birds’ – is one of the two main passes through the Maumturk mountain range, the old boundary between Connemara proper and Joyce Country in County Galway. According to legend, St Patrick was travelling through the Maam Valley, on his return from Croagh Patrick in County Mayo, when he climbed up to the top of the pass, and blessed the land to the west – Connemara. That night, he slept in a little hole in the hillside known as Patrick’s Bed (Leaba Phádraic), but ventured no further into Connemara. In time, Maumean became an important place of pilgrimage where locals gathered for an annual ‘pattern’– a day when people prayed (and celebrated) at a holy site – in honour of St Patrick. The pilgrimage had almost died out by the mid 1900’s due to faction fighting but was revived in the 1980s.

Monoprint by Marian Kilpatrick. Dark black inks have been washed over a sand-coloured paper so it has a feel of water and air as well as the solidity of the rock. The piece was inspired by the book The Bone Cave: A Highland Journey Through Myth and Memory by Dougie Strang, Birlinn Press, 2023.

Handmade artist’s book by Eva Hejdstrom. It is a series of cutouts one behind the other so it creates a range of paper mountains in browns, greys and white. There is a road through the middle and a tiny figure with a rucksack standing on the last but one top. The text on the sky of the last page is a quote by Sylvia Plath from The Bell Jar: “I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, 'This is what it is to be happy'”.

The thing is that this has been true for a long time. Thinking that liberal arts degrees are impractical is received wisdom that collapses under the slightest scrutiny. This claim is only "counterintuitive" if you have bad intuition about higher ed, and, accidentally and on purpose, most people do.
