Next week I return to the Kielderhead Wildwood, where I worked as an artist five years ago.
The wildwood is a large area at the Scottish-English border where 39,000 native trees were planted by the local community from 2017-2022, to make a future landscape where there once was once commercial forestry. I made work about the interconnections between humans, trees, fungi and technologies.
Trees that were up to my waist back in 2020 have grown taller than me. shanefinan.org/VAP/10_woodwide… #art #forest

I just discovered the superb powrss.com by @enocc - a site that aims to "make it easier to discover independent sites."
And thanks to it, I found this inspiring blog post by @sylvia: "Do Nothing" sylvia.studio/do-nothing/

Wishing everyone a lovely Sunday! And fascinating, serendipitous discoveries on powrss.com 😊

Grace is delighted to see the vet
"Grace the barking owl clearly isn’t a fan of visiting the doctor! 🦉 she was found sitting in a driveway, and was brought to us at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. The vets discovered she had a fractured wing, and she went straight into surgery. She may look grumpy, but we’re sure she’s grateful… deep down! 💚"

I'm up next for @fpg's Future Proof Plays stream! Today at 15:00 Eastern (in about 4 hours), I'll be playing Muse Game's #Wildmender. It looks like a cute desert farming game with some survival stuff, and I'm very interested to see what the balance on that is (i.e., how stressful it is 😅).

The last three paragraphs of this article are very important.
As I write this, I am in a hotel bed, in the middle of the country, on day two of a 1200 mile move from a "do not travel" state to a "blue state" (on Erin's map).
Existing (openly) as anything other than cis-gender in so much of America is too big of a threat to personal safety.
I just hope that the safety that "blue" states provide doesn't collapse on us.
Xiaoma in this video tries to communicate with Bonobo apes using their language. I was surprised that the researcher was interested he wasn't just wanting an ape to speak in a human or human contrived language. I would always start with speaking in their language. How better to bridge the communication gap?
