This is a great article on placenames and the leads they give 'as to area’s suitability for rewetting or its inclination to flood' Lots of information available if we know where to look for it. ⚒️ 💧@oideasgael.bsky.social #EarthSciences #Hydrology

Begging news outlets to stop illustrating deadly heat waves with happy beach fun 🏖️😎 and life-saving vaccines with terrifying needle assaults 💉😭. Especially on social media (where many/most people get their news) the photo is the most prominent part of the story; these choices undermine it completely

FFS I thought we'd moved past the ignorance of illustrating stories about deadly heatwaves with photos of people frolicking at the beach/in lakes/in fountains. Heatwaves are the deadliest agents of climate change. They kill nearly half a million people each year, and that's only going to increase.

Took this leaving work a couple of days ago. Not quite a wildflower garden in the Quad in University of Galway but at least it's not monotonous grass. Still mowed to bits though.

Scientists and artists practicing their craft until the very end at the eruption of Mt St Helens. For all the STEM vs humanities discourse, today's stories of geologists and photographers are a reminder that we're all just trying to get a little closer to understanding something about the world.

Three miles due west of the volcano, Robert Landsburg continues to fire as the blast bears down. In his final moments, he rewinds the film, seals his camera in his backpack, and braces for impact. Weeks later, his photos are developed—blurred, scorched, and unforgettable.

A dirt road winds through a conifer forest in the foreground. Light streaks and specks are visible on the image due to ash and heat damage to the film.

Would be good if performers, musicians, writers, and other creative workers insisted on organisers not using genAI for advertising festivals, shows and events they're taking part in, in solidarity with visual artists, because it's absolutely everywhere at the moment. We need to stick together!

Had to have this ice-cream yesterday when I saw it in the local shop's freezer. Verdict? Tasty enough, would have liked the crunchies and caramel to be all through the centre, but I suppose from a petrology point of view we are looking at crystal flow sorting. ⚒️

It includes lines such as: „There is a growing campaign of disinformation that May is not the start of summer, orchestrated by those among us who are still under the mental yoke of the coloniser and/or MET Éireann…“ So if you haven’t already signed up, you’re likely still under the mental yoke…
