A Rupert Bear badge! This is why it’s a good thing I’m not an archaeologist – I’d take that home with me to join my Paddington 50p piece.
Exit, singing ‘Rupert, Rupert the bear, everyone sing his name….’

From ‘Emergence’ Magazine….
by Robert Moor
“Trees help me think about—and, more importantly, to feel—my ethical obligations to the future, that most enigmatic and slippery form of time.”
Trees are some of the Earth’s most wondrous time capsules. They keep records of years past and seasons felt in the concentric rings within their trunks, and, should you reach out your hand in an old-growth forest, you can touch a tree that was alive hundreds of years ago and which may still be alive hundreds of years in the future.
In this piece, writer Robert Moor journeys to Haida Gwaii, an island chain in British Columbia, for the anniversary of a historic agreement between the Haida Nation and the Canadian government that protects the landscape’s last remaining old-growth forests after decades of reckless logging precipitated by colonialism. To honor the occasion, a totem pole—carved from a towering red cedar—is raised under Haida leadership on Gwaii Haanas for the first time in 130 years. Walking through a forest stewarded for generations, Robert begins to see the tangle of Sitka spruces and cedars, mosses and lichens, not as a site of slow decay, but of ongoing growth. Standing in the presence of ancient trees, we can feel, rather than intellectualize, he says, not only the deep past, but also our responsibility to the future.

‘May They Cleave, And Rot Together’….
That's a quote from Shakespeare...I think!
Trump has named Chris Wright ( he thinks he always is…about everything) as his Energy Secretary. This doesn’t bode well for the planet.
And there's The Musk-rat and the not-quite-human Homan.
I’m thinking about the bunker scenario again…..
