I'm very excited to share the Irish Wetland Bird Survey #IWeBS with you. By the end of the week🤞you'll have a stronger appreciation for one of the habitat underdogs – wetlands, and a better understanding of the often-over-looked migrants, wintering waterbirds.🧵

'Telling the history of wetlands as only a record of white feelings acted out on the peat means telling a history of unceasing dominance and subjugation, of nature passive and unresisting. No wonder it is just so very sad.' Swamp Feelings edgeeffects.net/swamp-feelings… Edge Effects

Just finished writing up this gorgeous blue crucifix candlestick fragment from a small 19th c. house outside Frenchpark, Co. Roscommon. Probably American. Associated with material changes in everyday Catholic practices in post-Famine period #IrishArchaeology

Rest In Peace Finbar Cafferkey, a great man who lived a full life. Here's an interview rabble had with Finbar when was with fighting with the YPG in Raqqa, and some of his many principles shone through. rabble.ie/2018/01/18/pri…

I’ve tried to write a few things about Finbar. Its impossible to capture him in a tweet. We met during the Shell to Sea campaign & became fast friends & housemates A man of few words, anything he did say was worth hearing RIP Fin/ Achill buck/ Çiya Demhat Omnia Sunt Communia

There are some lovely tributes to Finbar online. While we met through political activism which in many ways defined his life and death in Ukraine, I want to add a few bits & pieces, aspects of his personality I only fully appreciated in more recent years when we lived together.

I’m absolutely disgusted by the European Assoc of Archaeologist’s hypocritical response to a plausible genocide in Gaza compared to their generous support of Ukrainians
