People often ask where we find the Lego from the 1997 spill. We frequently find it among the nurdles and tiny plastic fragments littering the strandline, particularly after winter storms and high spring tides. We found this Lego speargun earlier today while picking up plastic after #StormCiaran.

It’s World Octopus Day. There were 4,200 black Lego octopuses inside the shipping container that fell off the Tokio Express in 1997. We found our first Lego octopus from the spill shortly afterwards but didn’t find another for 18 years. #WorldOctopusDay

New post alert! R Madhumitha reviews @angrant_1's Concrete Plateau! "Despite contending w/ a state-led process that marginalizes ethnic expression, Tibetans articulate a unique regional modernity, distinctly delineated from the Chinese dream" Read here: tibetscapes.wordpress.com/20…

Read abt an apparently insignificant, mundane object: the wear pad of a Tibetan prayer wheel. This article shows how it can have interesting and diverse trajectories even after it has become useless as a wear pad. New article by @BroxTrine Kirsten Vang, Heng Peng #THObjectLessons

Today marks World Refugee Day. I entered into exile when I was six years old, crossing the treacherous Himalayan ranges. Initially, we were a group of nearly 40 Tibetan refugees, but when we finally reached Nepal, only 20 of us remained alive.

Even manmade objects can become miniature coral reefs. This Lego door frame has been lying at the bottom of the sea for 26 years and has a tiny Devonshire cup coral growing inside one of its studs. It's one of over 18,000 lost from the cargo ship Tokio Express in 1997.
