like did you know that trees lower the surface temperature by up to 19° and grass by up to 24°... access to green space is access to safety in a climate crisis and it is a massive site of inequality because poorer areas tend to have less green space and thus get hotter. urban trees are an equality issue as well as a climate issue. sorry it's not a magic bullet that solves everything but sometimes you need to pick an issue that helps a bit and focus on that. this might not be yours. it's likely going to be mine in the future when my health issues allow me to take it on. if we each pick a thing we can make a difference
There is so fucking much that I can’t do anything about in this world but I can take a bunch of native plants I grew from seed and plant them in an abandoned bed next to the historical society downtown to make that space better for all living things and that’s something
I'm really surprised how many young fiber art people don't know that they can get pattern books from their local library. So as a PSA:
Your local public library has pattern books! They have crochet, knitting, weaving, and quilting pattern books! If they don't have the book you want, or the craft you want, you can ask for us to get it for you! It's free!
Tripod Jar, terracotta, early Bronze age, unknown provenance
Found this one to be quite intriguing, with the colors and proportions and designs and apparently immaculate condition. Most of the things they had from this era were small, and I wondered if they didn't make large things, or if the large things just didn't last.
Jug with Filter, terracotta, early bronze age, unknown provenance
I thought this was rather brilliant, such a smart use of the technology they had at the time.
Idol, marble, early bronze age, unknown provenance.
These always give me the chills, but I've realized it's 100% because they're described as idols and not as say.. spoon/spatula combos for the kitchen or special things to help you get your boots on. Grave markers? Garden markers. Vague human toys for children. Always wonder they make the "idol" determination, especially since it says "unknown provenance" so they don't even know the original context it was found in.

Statue of Dionysus, marble, 1st-2nd cent CE, Sahut, Turkey
This is for the Dionysus folks.
Personally I hate this piece of art so much that I am actively repelled by it, but hey, this is why I don't go here. But it is interesting.
Relief Depicting Gigantomachy (Battle between Gods and Giants). Marble, 2nd cent CE, Geyre Turkey.
I woke V up from his nap so he could check this one out, much to his amusement. The photo flattens the features a bit.
ok next is something left me absolutely dumbstruck
Sadly Tumblr has once again stripped so much detail but anyway this is some motherfucking cuneiform!!!!! This was my first time seeing in person and I was just. completely blown away.
Also the topic is perfect for tumblr:
Tablet on Horse Breeding, terracotta, 2nd half of the 14cent BCE, Bogazkoy, Turkey.
This one is for @plantanarchy and all the horse people out there. No idea what the actual translation is but it's wild to think that people were taking cuneiform notes on their horse breeding! Also this is how I learned that cuneiform tablets were found in Turkey (I thought they were just a thing further east).
Statue of Euterpe, Muse of Music. Marble. 2nd CE Balat, Turkey
Absolutely adored this one.
Statue of Aphrodite, marble, 2nd CE, Batal, Turkey.
Got this photo for all the Aphrodite followers out there. Compared to how all the other female statues are being presented here, Aphrodite is definitely not being subtle by having her top removed.
"Anatolia's deep-rooted religious history, and the traditional agricultural societies it fostered, made it difficult for the Olympian gods and cults to advance further than the coastal areas. On the other hand, the mutual interaction between Anatolia's indigenous people and migrant communities that settled in the region, gave birth to a plethora of different diety cults"
Loved every bit of this - a reminder of wow just how little I know or understand about any of this, despite having had Greek gods and goddesses drilled into my head by many different teachers growing up. Here's an entirely new context!
Kakasbos
"Categorized as a rider-god, Kakasbos was a god indigenous to the regions of Lycia, Pisidia, and Pamphylia. Kakasbos was commonly depicted wearing a cape and holding a club. Taking into consideration his ability to punish his enemie,s it is possible to assert that he was an infernal god"
Twelve Gods - Dodeka Theoi
"The cult of Twelve Gods is indigenous to Lycia. On the sacrificial stelae dedicated to them, the gods are divided into two groups of six, one on the left, the other on the right of a figure in the middle of the top row, depicted standing frontally"
Never heard of any of these things, the gods, the cults, the Greek pantheon as colonizer (which in retrospect seems over the top obvious but I just never put the pieces together). Not sure why I didn't get the photos to them, was I in a rush? Or perhaps they didn't have the art? On quite a few locations the museum just had photographs of objects, it seems a large amount ancient Turkish items had been taken to Berlin...

studying history is like. here's to another beautiful day of not being pregnant and of having no obligation to ever be. thank you women who fight for abortion and contraception and independance from men for another beautiful day of not being pregnant and of having no obligation to ever be
Climate change will have a profound effect on agriculture in a myriad of ways. Here in the Wairarapa, as orchardists we are concerned. The climate is changing. Show Your Stripes Day is an annual global campaign held around June 21 to raise awareness about climate change. It encourages individuals and organizations to share "warming stripes" graphics that display long-term, localized temperature increases.
The stripes were created in 2018 by climate scientist Professor Ed Hawkins at the University of Reading, to show the data visualisation at a glance.
Each vertical stripe represents a single year's average temperature.
Blue represents years cooler than the long-term average, and red represents years that were hotter.
The transition from cool blues into increasingly intense, deep reds over the last century visually communicates the reality and acceleration of global warming.
This graphic from Earth Sciences New Zealand. Each of these stripes represents our average overall NZ annual temperature, relative to the 1991-2020 average.
Spot the trend….we're in the red.
Four of New Zealand's five warmest years on record have been recorded since 2021. The ongoing warming trend observed here at home and globally is largely driven by human greenhouse gas emissions.
NZ stripes are calculated from the 'seven station' series - a long-running temperature record pulled from measurement sites at seven locations
Auckland, Masterton, Wellington, Hokitika, Nelson, Lincoln and Dunedin. (Masterton is close to TeePee Cidery)
These seven locations make the cut because they provide broad geographical coverage of NZ and long records. They've been collecting measurements since 1909.

The hot, steamy days of summer have arrived, and on this particular Saturday a week of intermittent rain had transformed the verdant cove forest along Quarry and Clay Runs in Coopers Rock State Forest into a muggy, dripping wonderland. Hardly surprising - Appalachia's cove forests are temperate rainforests, absorbing and slowly releasing enormous amounts of rainfall and creating the conditions for moss, fungi and ferns to grow on anything and everything that doesn't move, living and non-living. Photos above are from the ever gorgeous Mont Chateau Trail, which features a thousand foot elevation change from Cheat Lake to Henry Clay Iron Furnace, bordered on one side by a steep ravine and on the other by beathtaking rock formations and sprawling rhododendron thickets.
