So much interesting, new (to me) research. #TabClosed2026 may be all I see of Bluesky, at least for a little while.

Interesting. I hadn't noticed this new feature: AI friendly copy?

Finding ways to make life better surely is what society should be about? Thatcherism and 'there is no such thing as society' has been bleak curse for decades (further back, if you consider the thinking about the 'deserving'and 'undeserving' poor, which she drew on).

Sexism, Racism, Ageism, Ableism, Bias, Predjudice, Bro Culture, Misogyny... There are lots of 'other reasons' for unemployment.

The year is 1504, and this vehicle was (maybe) in use in Southern Europe. But for what, #skystorians? As a mobile water sprayer or a transportable fountain? Or a thing to impress the neigbours' kids? What are your suggestions?

Whether you're a knitter or a museum lover, these guys are new to BlueSky and seem worth a follow. Stop arguing. Just do it. 🧐

🌟New Year exciting new OA paper🌟 doi.org/10.1080/0076... from myself @hcaatedinburgh.bsky.social, @shakenbeck.bsky.social & TC O'Connell @cam-archaeology.bsky.social "Large-Scale Isotopic Data Reveal Gendered Migration into Early Medieval England c ad 400–1100" using #isotopes & #aDNA🧵⬇️ 1/

Surprise find while tidying up my laptop tabs (a la @drspacejunk.bsky.social), this fantastic map of prehistoric tombs, settlements and standing stones located on the North Isles of Orkney from the @uhiarchaeology.bsky.social 'Tomb of the Isles' project. 😍 archaeologyorkney.com/tombs-of-the...

Really nice example of the way in which the perceived value of social and cultural infrastructure changes over time.

Anyone have a picture of the Ullapool creel Christmas tree they'd be willing to share?

Thanks for asking a great question, Helen! There are some great recommendations here. 😍

A year for green paths! @righttoroam.bsky.social @slowwaysuk.bsky.social

Glad to hear of this digitization project/collection - better late than never! - but be warned, the website is excellent and leaving it will be a struggle!

Intriguing and more productions made - the majority here in the last decade - in than I realised. A collection to work through this year.

when people go on about building meet them by going on about maintaining.

In 1923, frustrated, under appreciated and broke, David Bomberg travelled to Jerusalem and southern Jordan, having secured funding for his passage from the Palestine Foundation Fund in return for a number of works; this features a rock façade at Petra.

“You can’t just get these things online,” said Dr. Williams...Older material hasn’t been converted to a digital format, while many recent scientific & engineering journals and texts are behind a digital paywall and will be harder to access from outside the library. #histsci #histSTM #humanities 🗃️📜📚

Fascinating: "But the turning of the year has got me thinking about time, and gives me an excuse to write about something that caught my eye towards the tail-end of 2025. It was a story about the Three Norths — True North, Magnetic North, Grid North..."

A very remarkable woman indeed. More here, including the moving "tombmates" inscription for Gurney and her partner (her word) Sarah-Maria Buxton. (Quakers: rarely constrained by other people's ideas of what shape life should be...) queernorfolk.com/news/anna-gu...

🧵- An insight into the biodiversity supported by the unique microenvironment of a single old orchard. Multiply by ancient wood/grass/peatlands, hedgerows, designed gardens, parks & landscapes, graveyards, shipwrecks, other ancient/historic standing structures (terrestrial & submerged) etc.

2025 has been a blast & #HillfortsWednesday lives on 🥳🛖 Thanks for all the follows & comments. BlueSky remains a great platform for archaeological discussion & sharing 🍻🔥 📽️ Walking up & into the south gate of Pendinas hillfort, Aberystwyth, last week. Look at those mighty terraces & views! 😮

We're in a great place in society when Doctors Without Borders are being labeled as "terrorists" for trying to aid a population under genocide, and media just nods along in agreement.

“Disability isn’t a hindrance. If we have self-confidence and are provided with opportunity, we can make headway in any given field.”

Omg shut up already, this is absolute bullshit and you should know better. Argh I’m so tired of this crap www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I really enjoyed this short piece of object based speculative fiction; a deceptively simple but powerful critical design technique that is extremely difficult to do well. There's a very fine line between speculation & fantasy and even after a decade plus of practice my success rate is only 50/50!

Comics gang, anyone interested?

"dev. & “modernisation” result in bigger blocks, a coarser urban grain, more highways & less likelihood of retaining the walkable neighbourhoods that had historically made up the city. The gentle “layering” of new upon old & understanding that heritage is about change done well, seem forgotten..."
