Such important questions and discussion. Sadly, though I am an anthropologist, i’ve so far done different things, and don’t know much more. But like youtwo I have become really interested in mythology and think it is really key. This has spurred me on to finally read up more (when i find the time).
Petra, the museum work you do with objects (in this 🧵) is very akin to what @bridgetmck does with the #ClimateMuseum - i don’t know whether you two are linked up already?
#ClimateDiary for today a happy post: i met up in person with @bridgetmck , founder of the great #ClimateMuseum, where we are linking #ClimateDiary to their #ExtremeWeather stories project. It was just so nice to meet an online connection in person, and we ended up discussing a few other ideas for possible joint projects together too #ClimateWeaving #ClimateAction #ClimateHope

"When I Googled it, and discovered that we would be the first [climate museum] in the US and one of the first in the world, I was astounded. I’m still astounded. We got the URL, climatemuseum.org, for free”
Good article on the Climate Museum in New York, set up 10 years ago by ex-litigator Miranda Massie in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.

Thank you all for a great start to our collective #ClimateDiary - so many really diverse and thought-provoking contributions already, including, even, this #ClimateMuseum blog - thank you @bridgetmck!
As many of you have suggested and do already: please mention your location, so we know where people are writing from. And do tag people from all parts of the world - #Brazil #NewZealand #Madagascar #Nigeria (@Uwagbale are you still on here?) #Pakistan #ClimateCrisis

@bridgetmck look @RadicalAnthro @tinderness @NatureMC @CiaraNi @ianhunt @s_lundsteen - your toots have already made it into a #ClimateDiary #ClimateMuseum blog brilliantly produced in no time by Bridget - thank you!
if you feel like, also follow the #ClimateDiary hashtag yourself. I will myself follow, search and re-toot all #ClimateDiary posts and can be a sort of hub, at least initially. And if it takes off, @bridgetmck and I have been discussing perhaps linking this with the #ClimateMuseum #ExtremeWeather Experiences project (check out the climate museum as a whole, it's really great) 4/4
