Whenever I water my plants, birds come to shower and floof themselves in leaves. (Cardinal, nuthatch, Carolina wren, chickadee)
Here is a chickadee floofing itself in my guabiju (Myrcianthes pungens). Jaboticabas are also a favorite floofing plant. They seem to really like the small leaves.
So there are two baby bunnies that call my yard home. First is a fearless fur fren who doesn’t hop away when I walk by. Second little dude thinks he’s pretty sneaky. Third pic is the first sugar snaps of the season. 🥰
Many people asking us about #bumblebees at the moment - why they’re seeing them on the ground - so what follows is a quick series of toots to explain what they’re up to. Please #boost as every #queen bumblebee that survives means a new colony that gets to exist and produce new queen bees for next year! 1/8

Earlier this week @ContraryLad shared a photo of his lovely #vegbox. Thanks for the idea 😀
We just got our vegbox delivered today. Ours comes from an #organic#crofter who crofts about 2 miles away from our house. One of the great things about his #croft is that he puts lots of effort on protecting/improving his #soil. Also, his croft is #CarbonNegative
Brass cast little sculpture of a wood cube showing tunnels carved by a woodworm. Of course the tree was already firewood when I found it, I only cut it into a rough cube. And the woodworm was long gone: Wherever you are, I hope you're OK, it was nice making this collab with you.
I am a historian of nuclear science & technology at Hiroshima Peace Inst & Grad School of Peace Studies. My book Nuclear bodies: the global hibakusha (Yale 2022) surveys harm from #nuclear production, weapon testing, & reactor accidents across the globe, & medical models that obscure harm from fallout particles.
Collecting oral histories in 20+ countries , I examine how communities, families and interior psychology suffer via exposures.
I track nuclear #colonialism (selecting the irradiated) arguing the #ColdWar was a limited nuclear war against these populations.
I also explore our relationship to our HL nuclear waste, asserting it is how our descendants will know us. Our choices now reveal our lack of consideration of the 1000s of generations of living beings for whom this waste is already a part of their world.
