For hedgehogs who may be enjoying the long grass grown as part of 'No mow May', here's hoping for a 'Gently does it' June as people return to cutting grass...
Or maybe it could be a 'Just let the grass grow' June?
Oh, het eeuwig treurige lot der egels! "The hedgehogs are having a nice time in the long grass - then they get chopped to bits"
Over de diepe rol van droefheid in egelbescherming schreef @ShadowEcologies in 2017 het prachtige "Sadness and the noir of urban hedgehog conservation"
Amazing work @GretchenMedia on an amazing thesis bringing to light vital stories of the lived reality of more-than-human care work - incredible stuff!! :D

Who we connect with (and how) matters!
So grateful to our participants who helped us to start to map the kinds of personal connection that matter for changing who gets heard.

Thinking with my friend @susprat about no #queen's Christmas message this year...
I'm quietly hoping this year all us queens take the opportunity to share cute video reviews of the struggles, victories and learnings of the year that's been #queensspeak !

What a privilege and a joy it was to be interviewed with dear friends and wonderful colleagues, @tythily and Anne Galloway!
The chats were so enthusiastic I'm amazed it was able to be edited down to something so manageable. Big respect, @AnthroConvo !
It’s here, it’s here! – ep #49, feat. shepherd/scholar Anne Galloway & multispecies ethnographer @ShadowEcologies. Wonderful Anne & Laura speak frankly to @tythily w the emotional wisdoms born of studying (& loving) more than human worlds.

Discovering that oil palm was unravelling dreams, stories and worlds... "a multispecies existential crisis" that called for more than advocacy as usual... The Shadow of The Palms is @Sophie_MH_Chao 's vital more-than-human offering to these entangled questions - launching now!

Faculty are 25 times more likely to have a parent with a PhD.
I just remembered that when I was a kid, our window AC unit leaked onto our carpet and a giant mushroom appeared overnight.
If you're 1st gen and you also had a mushroom in your living room I see you.
Surely getting the right to vote in #Eurovision is one of Australia's greatest diplomatic victories.
Magic to get to teach & learn with @AstridaNeimanis - and learn even more while writing this piece on teaching in climate crisis
