In December 1850 renowned abolitionist Harriet Tubman executed one of her first daring rescue missions. Using the Underground Railroad, she helped her niece Kessiah and her two children escape slavery in Maryland by ushering them to Philadelphia, PA where they found freedom.
Glad to see this topic covered a major paper in November: theguardian.com/technology/2… I wrote about it in August: artifactualhistory.com/blog/…

I weep for the squandered years, the denial, distraction and delay, during which the fossil fuel companies trashed our chances of maintaining a habitable planet. Time is now so short, and the action required so drastic, that the chance of avoiding catastrophe is slight.

Excellent talk on lost natural history painters from 18th C India by @DAGworld (@andrewjohnrudd @Comet_Moth_HM @SAsia_exeter). Including fascinating stories behind artists' signatures and labels. This has been a very good month for highlighting marginal/erased names from art.

I have climbed, researched & advocated for trees all of my life. I've stood in the middle of clearcuts that extend to the horizon, but nothing has hurt more than losing a beloved mature tree next to my flat that was cut down by the landlord next door without any notice to tenants

"This museum union movement represents a major shift in the self-conception of workers in museums and the nonprofit sector more broadly, a refusal to accept unsustainable conditions as the trade-off for working in a creative or prestigious field."
