These are the kinds of things that make @terrorcamp.bsky.social such a joy to be involved with. Thank you to everyone who attended, presented, made a poster or shared art, and helped organize, especially the brilliant @tchotchke.bsky.social! Can't wait to do it again next year
Things I learned at @terrorcamp.bsky.social this year:
-the word “scurbotic”
-the American Ornithological Society is my enemy
-I would take a bullet for a Norwegian museum curator named Anders whom I’ve never met
-you absolutely do not want to know how they figure out the age of a Greenland shark

What a pleasure to moderate this conversation. Takeaways: joy, naivety/approaching your work like an amateur, integrity - all sit at the foundation of creative work that lasts in a world designed to make it seem disposable.
