Great day out with the @greenhouseuis.net on Kvitsøy today, talking about what's working, how we can improve the Greenhouse, and what's ahead. Also having fun with everyone at the Lobster Museum and Hatchery! 🦞 🦞 🦞 (I did buy a t-shirt). #envhum #lobstersky

Can someone who knows more about dogs than me confirm what breed the dog in this picture is? Looks a bit Shiba-y but not sure (I think this is New York City in 1916, as featured in Vanity Fair. Its for a thing. #dogs #dogsky #dogopolis #envhum

Today the Summer School class visiting the Eric Carle museum of picture book art. It was genuinely quite a moving experience, from the original Very Hungry Caterpillar artworks to an exhib on children's books which have been banned in certain states (Florida) simply for representing other cultures.

My talk at the Amherst College Summer Bridge school aimed to show incoming first year students that archives and archivists shouldn't be feared, and was not ruined by the fake taxidermy fish in the corner (an April fool's side hobby of Emily Dickinson's).

So Lee Francis IV is very cool! Super engaging talk on the background to Red Planet books and A Tribe Called Geek - showcasing Indigenous comic book authors and artists and explaining the power of "nerditry" in Native resistance.

This was really fantastic. Fun, educational, and reflective. Highly recommend the work of Helene Espedal-Selvåg and also drawing trees in the sun! Part of the #envhum symposium More-than-Human Worlds in Artistic Research

More-than-Human Worlds in Artistic Research A hybrid symposium focusing on artistic research within the environmental humanities, and how creative work helps us become attuned to more-than-human forms of intelligence, agency and sentience. See full details: tinyurl.com/4dy96x82 #envhum

Another fantastic #BSLS2025 conference! Such great people, personal highlight was Sydney Padua's animations of Lovelace and Babbage and the Analytical Engine. I was speaking about my work on horses and cars in David Seals' The Powwow Highway. Thanks to the organisers! @thebsls.bsky.social

Looking at the 1971 anti-littering campaign featuring the "Crying Indian" (and Ginger Strand's article on it) as part of my class on 1970s Indigenous American lit - it appears my cultural references are somewhat outdated for the modern student.
A still from The Simpsons showing an Indigenous American crying, in a parody of the 1971 campaign against littering.
