A toddler can look at a Great Dane and say “doggie” and then look at a Chihuahua and say “doggie". No matter how different, a baby can make the connection. When you look a people no matter how different, can you say ‘human being"?

Had a chance to learn about twill weaving in the Navajo tradition. Super interesting, and I hope to apply some insights to the heddling of twills on the warp-weighted loom. By the time the last living WWL weavers were documented by Hoffman in the 1950s, twills were no longer being woven.... 1/2
A weft-faced diamond weave in three colors on a small, Navajo-style loom.The loom in a room, with a bunch of other looms.A bunch of students work on setting up their warps in a workshop with Diné weaver and shepherd, Nikyle Begay.

Extensive grazing could help protect landscapes from one of the most destructive impacts of climate change, write Tristan Bove, Emerson Mendoza Ayala, and Neal Haddaway @nealhaddaway.bsky.social. But shepherds need more support. ⬇️

At last, British sheep farmers are on track to make a modest profit on wool after many years of losses. This must be welcomed, for wool is natural, renewable, biodegradable, fire resistant and hard wearing. www.farmersguardian.com/news/4535898...?

Hexa: “What are we looking at?” Saffron: “The changing of the seasons.” Hexa: “Anything else?” Saffron: “Yes. The arrival of the weekend.” #cats #BlueskyCats #gato #CatsOfBluesky #tgif
Color photograph. Photo taken from behind of a young black and white cat and a super floofy cat as they look out onto the deck through a mesh door. On the other side there are the first leaves of fall on the deck. This is definitely a moment where the floofy cat, Saffron, is mentoring the younger cat, Hexa, about the arrival of fall and the weekend.

We had to put down Half Moon, the first lamb born on our farm, today. 🐏🌓 Processing the complicated feelings of sitting with him in his final hour to provide calm and comfort before letting him go. Feels like betraying his trust, even though I know it was the right decision. 🥺

Agrivoltaics combines crop or livestock w/ PV solar power. The farmers get two crops on the dual use land. "Common sense" might suggest that shade from the PV system will detract from the agricultural product. But this lamb study from Oregon St Univ. (my Alma Mater!) found the opposite. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 a 🧵
