The result is dozens of pieces of work that are enchanting and fun to visit.<br/><br/>Is there anywhere else quite like Grizedale?<br/><br/>I can think of places in the UK and Finland which tick some but definitely not all of the boxes above.<br/><br/>#sculpture #grizedale<br/> <img src="https://media.mementomori.social/media_attachments/files/117/209/369/368/486/788/original/bea48c0918af83ef.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-09-03T22:05:59Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs800jv6wz7mkl59zjafhtrrrses906e9kr03utc78uzdkdmjzqxwczyqd29r2kdzpdm9e82n2vjjtuqu3ukpsmqyajta8w6anrwh5rw5wk6fpyee5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswtx2cdpsz2xu9hqztzu7x9d7x5fkrapkfm82scj576sf426q73pcu7ztdz'>nevent1q…ztdz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>One from yesterday - this is Habitat (1994) by Richard Caink.

This one is an amazing thirty years old.<br/><br/>My favourites have always been those that make use of water.

And the whole Finnish happiness thing is I think, really overanalysed.

I&#39;m queer, I&#39;m nonbinary, I&#39;m a parent, I&#39;m a physicist, and I live in Helsinki. I&#39;m currently working 50% part time so I can take care of my kid.<br/><br/>💁 On Fedi I post in a personal capacity about things that interest me. That does include physics, but also how to make academia (and society) a friendlier, more welcoming place. I try to learn about, develop and put into use innovative teaching and supervision methods.<br/><br/>🛤️ I love trains and slow travel, but I&#39;m not really travelling so much these days since becoming a parent. I therefore try to highlight the need for scientific conferences and events to be hybrid or online, amongst other accessibility measures that benefit everyone.<br/><br/>🌄 The outdoors is my happy place, I spend lots of time wandering around (or these days pushing a buggy), and enjoy hiking when I can. Still trying to improve my bird recognition skills. I love gardening and gardens as well, and hope to have one I can potter about in again quite soon.<br/><br/>💬 I always try to add alt text, always grateful for feedback on improving what I write.<br/><br/>🇫🇮 I communicate in Finnish at B2 level and French at B1 level (this means I can listen to the radio and read news articles in both languages), but this account is mostly in English. Do please however feel free to write to me in Finnish or French, and apologies in advance for typos in my replies.<br/><br/>🙍 It can be very tempting but I try not to boost, interact with or bring up politics here, except how it intersects with my above interests. I have filters set up for many politics keywords. Politics matters a lot to me, but this is not where I discuss it, and this way I keep Fedi a place of joy for me.<br/><br/>🚫 I CW at least selfies, food and drink, and direct politics references.<br/><br/>Feel free to follow me, but unless we&#39;ve interacted, I&#39;m unlikely to follow back to keep my feed manageable.<br/><br/>Some tags: #introduction #queer #parenting #physics #science #LGBTQInSTEM #QueerInStem #LGBTQ #Helsinki #trains #SlowTravel #accessibility #hiking #gardening #outdoors <br/><br/>Avatar alt text: a picture of me with hair slightly splayed out because I&#39;m moving my head to the side.<br/><br/>Header alt text: An autumnal view down Justinjohka valley in Sápmi, viewed from Inarinpolku. 2024-11-14T14:08:01Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsytvy8qmsxtr0p3df37mx2aq9xfmzltvlz9h8lkpxtk97mktce05czyqd29r2kdzpdm9e82n2vjjtuqu3ukpsmqyajta8w6anrwh5rw5wk6n3zylc These cars could have been a bus.<br/><br/>Or a train.<br/><br/>This view shows the frankly ludicrous land take needed in the middle of a city to accommodate car traffic.<br/><br/>Roads are big, noisy and smelly.

Anthologies from the late 80s or early 90s from reputable publishers. My goodness, they’re full of awful gender stereotypes, implied violence and fat shaming. Going to have to stop before I need to explain what the poems are about. 2024-09-20T10:50:46Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2slt7xk8mh56s26eayyc6aug5q950gasmg04fc8vax9c2c9tcs9qzyqd29r2kdzpdm9e82n2vjjtuqu3ukpsmqyajta8w6anrwh5rw5wk6wlj0ns In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsf0mg8nj02zrgm3562xyqw0nj0gm0zugaltq39w7xgvn5wmsk6n2crzdhyc'>nevent1q…dhyc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I made it!

Kun pääsee virkistysalueeseen turvallisesti pyörällä tai jopa jalan, pysäköinnin kysyntä vähenee, autottomat perheet saavat nauttia alueesta, jne.<br/><br/>Esim. pääkaupunginseudulla Sipoonkorven kansallispuisto on aika helppo vaellus Mellunmäen metroasemasta. Täytyy kävellä vain 200 metria jukisella tiellä Östersundomissa. Tämä ei ole mitään virallista yhteystä, mutta se auttoi meitä tosi paljon pandemian aikana. 2024-08-21T13:08:27Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdph594889mc0n994jjkp58vhy5nhya0fez6yrnq8xl63y0a7srggzyqd29r2kdzpdm9e82n2vjjtuqu3ukpsmqyajta8w6anrwh5rw5wk6vuytu6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsze5gzq52rp5gk0yv49lq30ascthgtujws8q446mxzwqmty94787qsh8c26'>nevent1q…8c26</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thanks! 2024-08-19T12:30:20Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsf26zsf5unv9gphrps2wq48pm8yt2ypz5s6djjly97455yxm3ndtqzyqd29r2kdzpdm9e82n2vjjtuqu3ukpsmqyajta8w6anrwh5rw5wk6qkws5p Reposted #Introduction!<br/>(from: <a href="https://tech.lgbt/@davidjamesweir/110623892318524458">https://tech.lgbt/@davidjamesweir/110623892318524458</a>)<br/><br/>👋 I&#39;m David (or D. or Dave), a queer Fennoscottish physicist.<br/><br/>Although my work is in #physics and you will see #science stuff on here, I write here in a personal capacity expressing my own opinions. I try to draw attention to experiences of being #LGBTQInSTEM and #QueerInSTEM. I&#39;m also interested in becoming a better #teacher and learning more about #pedagogy, as well as putting it into practice.<br/><br/>I&#39;m interested in the outdoors, in #hiking and in understanding the natural world around me. I&#39;m terrible at recognising #birds but I am trying to get better at it. I also love #gardening and adore (non-invasive) #rhododendrons.<br/><br/>Raising awareness about #ClimateChange and engaging in #SlowTravel is important for me. I try to do as much work and personal travel as I can in a low carbon way. Fortunately, I love #trains too.<br/><br/>Feel free to follow me, but I generally only follow people that I have actually interacted with.<br/><br/>(Previous pinned posts: <a href="https://tech.lgbt/@davidjamesweir/109575378709990905">https://tech.lgbt/@davidjamesweir/109575378709990905</a> and <a href="https://tech.lgbt/@davidjamesweir/109545041411539988">https://tech.lgbt/@davidjamesweir/109545041411539988</a>) 2024-08-19T11:56:34Z
