For #LondonRiversWeek I'm sharing a photo of the Channelsea, much culverted but where it emerges is a lovely marshy spot, cared for by #SurgeCollective #BlancSceol and the site, recently, for #LeakyInstruments workshops on how we can live ethically with rivers #RiverCommons

Thames through Time is back in Birkbeck for the 2nd week, and the MA Archaeology & Heritage student Christopher Snary @bbkhistorical.bsky.social has brought in a new model! This one is a scaled model of The Admiralty Dockyard. Archaeology and model-making, it’s important!!

Thames through Time is back in Birkbeck, but the MA Archaeology & Heritage student Christopher Snary @bbkhistorical.bsky.social only brought in a scaled model of the Thames historical dockyards that he has made! Archaeology and model-making, it’s important!!

This is well worth a go! Have you seen it @lornarichardson.bsky.social ?

Hey! I really felt the weight of everything last week, and I wanted a way to talk through it... so I've been working on (maybe the first???) choose your own adventure game set up directly *in* Bluesky. And here it is! Would you like to visit the Garden of Fortune with me? Enter the garden.

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

Chris Williams@chrisw100.bsky.social · last yr.

Another record year for the Green Party 👏 859 Councillors on 170 Councils in England & Wales Now join us to keep Greens growing and to take the fight to Reform join.greenparty.org.uk

Super 2 days teaching building recording & talking sound w/ @bbkhistorical.bsky.social #ThamesThroughTime BA & MA fieldschool students. We all discovered much more about this GII wall than the List description! Thx so much @lesleymcf.bsky.social @drclaireharris.bsky.social for the invite!

Wall Stories - Ballast, cobble and set. Closer brick. London stock brick. Handmade brick. Board of Ordnance marked brick. And a sardine can key. Standing building recording on Thames through Time with the incredible @laraband.bsky.social!

Like Section 28 in the UK, the 'promotion' of DEI is defined as any representation of diversity, showing anything other than cis, white, straight, able bodied men. And lazy implementation takes 'don't say gay' to ridiculous new heights

Brian Tyler Cohen@briantylercohen.bsky.social · 2y ago

The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.

Yellow #DistanceDrift for spring and (nearly) St David's Day. Fun to be joining in again with @soniaoverall.bsky.social longstanding remote and communal wander, felt just the weather for it!

Sonia Overall@soniaoverall.bsky.social · 2y ago

Morning! We haven't had a colour #DistanceDrift for a long while & today's proximity to St David's Day tells me it's once again time to follow yellow. Wherever you wander, indoors or out, be led by yellow objects & flashes. Share finds as you go or at the end - bonus cheers for daffodils!

Well that was a great day, thinking about silence as presence and ways of 'noising', socially engaged practice and the ethics of tech plus the ASR captioning providing a theme fitting accidental aural misguide. Fantastic conversations on and of stage #ListeningTogether #CRiSAP
