![an old-school DnD alignment chart, a grid of 3x3 squares, with the two axes being lawful to chaotic and good to evil.
lawful good: a lengthy, well-formatted footnote with additional explanatory text

chaotic good: an incomplete footnote but the various authors are at least listed in brackets
lawful neutral: a somewhat more restrained footnote than lawful good, without explanatory text

chaotic neutral: a note from the author to the author, saying only "find this again!"

I am just blown away by this project & the broader work to connect communities & trees. Will be sharing with students as a beautiful example of meaningful, humanistic data.
And wow, I can't wait to read Montgomery's new book: bookshop.org/p/books/when...
Very special: blackheritagetrees.com
"How might that ancestral connection be reclaimed? How do we honor the ancestors, and the trees that sustained them? As a longtime researcher of photosynthetic organisms, Montgomery commonly describes the process as a sacred exchange of breath between beings. "

Job description British Library Advisory Council- Chair The British Library is entering a bold new era. As one of the world's leading national libraries, we hold over 170 million items and support millions of people across the UK and beyond with research, learning, and inspiration. This is a pivotal moment to join us as we begin an ambitious new chapter, expanding access, strengthening engagement, and shaping our future as a modern national library for the digital age.
OK so I know I carp on a bit about the British Library, but only because I think it’s important. They want a new Advisory Council Chair - surely someone here would be excellent in helping them get back to their core purpose of serving the research community?
