100s of masked men roaming the streets, attacking homes and burning families out because of their race. Call it what it is: racist thuggery, straight out of the fascist playbook. The fact that this pogrom was allowed to unfold on such a scale is disgraceful. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr...

Don't miss this profound and haunting novel by my dear friend @annettebyford1.bsky.social --out in English on 3rd July. #booksky #writesky #writingcommunity #womenwriters #fiction

Today's #WIPSnips is "insect." #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #speculativefiction #SFF #womenwriters #speculative @wellwriters.bsky.social @adamrhemmings.bsky.social Well--a cricket is an insect:

This is my watercolour of Nether Largie South Cairn in magical Kilmartin Glen. Constructed around 5000 years ago to contain multiple burials, it was later enlarged to to accommodate two secondary cists. The original artwork is now available on my Etsy shop here: shorturl.at/HDzSI #TombTuesday #Art

Today's #WIPSnips is "thought." #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #speculativefiction #SFF #womenwriters #speculative @wellwriters.bsky.social @adamrhemmings.bsky.social Julia holos with her daughter, Amelia:

Let it be clear: you are wanted here.

I've been sick--so this is my first #WIPSnips in a few days. "three" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #speculativefiction #SFF #womenwriters #speculative @wellwriters.bsky.social @adamrhemmings.bsky.social Julia needs to visit her ill mother:

#HillfortsWednesday - or not so hilly 👀 Rathgall, or the Ring of the Rath is a large multivallate hill fort near the town of Shillelagh. Dating from the Bronze Age, it consists of 3 roughly concentric stone ramparts with a fourth wall dating from the Medieval period at its centre. #Archaeology

Today's #WIPSnips is "wing." #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #speculativefiction #SFF #womenwriters #speculative @wellwriters.bsky.social @adamrhemmings.bsky.social Julia stays with her dying mother:

Today's #WIPSnips is "reset." #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #speculativefiction #SFF #womenwriters #speculative @wellwriters.bsky.social @adamrhemmings.bsky.social Aya wakes from nightmares:

West of #Benghazi in #Libya, archaeologists have identified a preserved #Roman palace complex, long referenced in historical records but only now confirmed. Always amazing when text matches the archaeology! libyareview.com/64768/remark...

Today's #WIPSnips is "photograph." #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #speculativefiction #SFF #womenwriters #speculative @wellwriters.bsky.social @adamrhemmings.bsky.social Nyx and Kiva attend a meditation session:

Before closing earlier this month, “Made in Ancient Egypt” became one of the most tactile, human exhibitions in years. This was less gods and gold, and more dust, repetition, innovation, and the people behind it. We loved it. ✨ #AncientEgypt storefrontcity.net/made-in-anci...

So excited to be shortlisted! Thank you @taniahershman.bsky.social ! #flashfiction #writesky #womenwriters #microfiction #writingcommunity @wellwriters.bsky.social @adamrhemmings.bsky.social

Today's #WIPSnips is 'heat' #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #speculativefiction #SFF #womenwriters #speculative Aya has breakfast in the Mars habitat with her podmates.

Not celebrating a saviour, but breathing a little easier this morning. When something that looked untouchable can actually be voted out, it’s a reminder: autocracy isn’t inevitable nor permanent - and the people are the ones with the power #Europe #Hungary www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As #Artemis2 mission slips behind the #Moon, 40 minutes of silence begin. Four humans carrying all us with them. 🌑 Back on Earth, we share the same small blue horizon. This is our moment to pause, hope together, and remember we are one world looking up. #Artemis www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Not everyone has welcomed the changes, with the Residential Freeholders Association accusing the government on an attack on leasehold system". Sorry, thought we were in 2026, not 1066! #Fleecehold www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Antisemitism thrives on an untruth: that millions of Jews think as one. Criticising a government isn’t hate, but turning that criticism into blame for a whole people is. We can defend free speech AND reject prejudice. Refuse the false correspondence! www.meditationsinanemergency.com/today-i-need...

"We suggest that the government financially supports the task of caring ethically for human remains, instead of undermining the fragile relationships of trust and cooperation built between institutions and stakeholders over recent decades." #Archaeology #Anthro www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

Just a few days left to catch "Rodin's Egypt" (closing 15th March) at ISAW. Looks wonderful! rodinsegypt.com

I want to make space for new works in my Etsy shop, so everything on there is now 20% off - including this watercolour on recycled cotton rag paper entitled 'Sun Henge' and paintings of ancient monuments in Brittany and Britain. Check it out here: shorturl.at/HDzSI #StandingStoneSunday

This is a fragment of the Corinthian-style Olpe Chigi, found from Veii, Formello, from the cemetery area of Monte Aguzzo, from Tumulo Chigi, and dated to 650-640 BC. It has the personification of Aphrodite - as stated. Now in the Room 38 in Villa Giulia. #EpigraphyTuesday

As the excitement over the displaying of the Bayeux Tapestry (embroidery) builds I feel the experience will only be worthwhile if the long suppressed section of the work is included. @gingertrevtrev.bsky.social @durotrigesdig.bsky.social

Giant tortoises are wandering the Galápagos island of Floreana for the first time in more than 180 years! One of may favourite places in the world. #Conservation #Science #Environment #Galapagos www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Amusing that while the National Gallery claims “financial woes,” it spent £85m refurbishing the Sainsbury Wing and secured £300m for a new modern art wing, yet laments an £8.2m deficit (per The Guardian). Mismanagement much? #Museums #MuseumLife www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

I’d never heard cleaned recordings of Howard Carter and the sounding of Tut’s trumpets without the static and artefacts until now. As Christopher Frayling has noted, by then Carter had erased his regional accent to “fit in” with high society. www.bbc.co.uk/culture/arti...
