Tim Davie and co should be dismantled over their complicity in the Gaza genocide tbh

Mitqal is another Palestinian that many of you probably know well - he’s got a new fundraiser to see his family through the winter, so please donate if you can: www.gofundme.com/f/help-mitqa...

I am very biased as a Bones Expert but I really think any worked bone - but particularly combs - are my favourite type of artefact? The craftmanship is just so precise and delicate, it does feel like such a deeply personal object. Plus what it implies about humans and animals…so much to think about

hey what do you know, they were completely right to be scared of this scenario! i cannot even imagine how much stress this precarity is subjecting families to, it's inhumane. single moms waking up realizing they might be 2k in debt to the feds now bsky.app/profile/tony...

I'll be applying variety of research methods to ichthyoarchaeological assemblages from Exeter, Lubeck and Bergen, including #zooarchaeology, #osteometrics, #palaoeproteomics, and #morpohometrics. You can learn more about the project, and follow updates, at our website. shorturl.at/5daXQ

l left York for Exeter in September to start as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University's Centre for HuManE Bioarchaeology, where I'm leading a @ukri.org AHRC-funded project called "Beyond Stockfish: Migratory and Freshwater Fisheries during the Rise of Early Modern Trading Companies".

When Labour were previously in power they legislated to make asylum seekers homeless and destitute if they didn’t claim asylum immediately, an effort in which they were eventually defeated in the courts. The only surprise is that anyone believed this wing of the party would behave any differently

🏺🧪 With the new Predator film out, I guess it’s a good time to repost our old ArchaeoAnimals episode where we decided that the best use of our combined zooarchaeological skills was to figure out the anatomy of the aliens in the Predator franchise. www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/animals/63

Please donate to Lobna and Mohammed’s family if you can: chuffed.org/project/1377...

Hammam had been on here for a while fundraising to support his family - you can donate to them here: www.paypal.com/paypalme/nur...

since our cat has decided that her new favourite sleeping place is my partner’s closet, this is what we wake up to every morning

I don't know what to say... Every single time we do this, but it is very easy. A donation helps with shelter, food, medicine, emergency medical needs, baby formula and diapers. Very basics. Aid is extremely limited. So support these six families in need chuffed.org/project/hope...

This project doesn’t shutter until I do. Please share. New week, new goal, same ask for your radical hope: that care is an action, that the witness is not passive, that we don’t look for helpers; we step up. Six families, emergency healthcare & more, TODAY. 0/1000 chuffed.org/project/hope...

Seems as good a time as any to remember that of the 56 countries that have comprehensive enough immigration systems for MIPEX to rank, the UK ranks 55th in family reunification rights. A terrible, moral stain of a situation. The one country that ranks lower? Denmark.

Saving this for 2027 when I’m back on the job market, thank you Zohran 🙏

Our D&D group is on a semi-hiatus so some of us are doing a cyberpunk one-shot instead and of course you know I’m playing a Chinese net runner so I can keep practicing my Cantonese

Now this is great.

I have such a strong memory of being 12 years old and abandoning a BBQ party because I wanted to keep playing The Movies.

every time i see ukgov saying they're gonna take some inspiration from denmark for family reunion, and then look at the rankings for family reunion

cornell sealed its fate with how it treated Momodou. may it be dismantled under the weight of its fascist capitulation.

I dont have use of my hands anymore; shares appreciated You know what this is for and why it’s important 22 HOURS ONLY to finish another week of insufficient support for six families’ survival 23/2901 chuffed.org/project/hope...

Sally has been on here for a while trying to fundraiser to support her family. You can donate to help them here: www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-fe...

Man, I really need to see the new Frankenstein. Was so obsessed with it in high school that during the written portion of our AP Lit exam, instead of using a book we actually read during the year I just wrote about Frankenstein 🤷🏻‍♀️ And I got full marks ☺️

Calling members of the European Association of Archaeologists - invites seem to have gone out to members for the special meeting being held on Jan 9th 2026, 3-5pm CET 🏺

man, articles like this are written for ignorant american “leftists” (usually cis) who have no idea what the fuck is what, meanwhile every queer european leftist i know is like “chuckles, we’re in danger” because of the increasingly far right bent in EU politics. please get fucking real

I cant type anymore Six families rely on this link We’re matching £500 for three medical emergencies: Young woman with lupus complications; single mom with high-risk pregnancy; widow with a dental emergency No one gives anymore 8 HOURS LEFT. 571/1000

Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.

One of the many (silly, nonsensical) arguments that anti-repatriation folks have is that if we return all of the stolen artefacts, our museums would be empty. Meanwhile, artefacts dug up by metal detectors in this country are being sold off…wonder where their outrage is? 🤔

I am on record as someone who is anti-ceramics (because they are very boring to me, the Animal Bone Lady), but god these cups are so great. Ceramics get one (1) compliment. Just the one.

I know the “Torture Nexus” is a term used to make fun of tech bro mentality but I do think we need to build it specifically to put everyone from OpenAI in there.

I missed this somehow. Literal genocide denial is not something I can overlook, personally!

Hey wait a minute these roads lead all kinds of places

As long as the people with power who claim they are opposed to fascism choose not to exercise that power even when they have the legal and moral right to, and as long as the monstrous fascists exercise power despite having no legal or moral standing, things will continue to get worse. A lot worse.

Some of you may remember Ghadir, a Palestinian in Gaza who was also pregnant. She’s had her baby, sweet little Ghazal! But she’s suffering from malnutrition as the blockade continues to keep food and aid out. Please donate if you can: chuffed.org/project/1456...

I can’t get depleted because my dear friend H relies on my energy to reach yall so his malnourished toddlers can stay housed and get food. They finally have a small chance to get an ounce of nutrition. We’re matching £500 / $650. 18 HOURS LEFT. 0/1000

I didn't realise they had removed online records of past honourees. That is dissapointing, but not suprising

Music, along with Theology and all modern languages now under threat at Nottingham Uni. More details in Hannah’s message below.

More than ever, mutual aid mutually frees us. Please share. It’s still about survival in Palestine. I’m here every hour for seven friends in Gaza: six families & a displacement camp of fifteen more. You’ve helped them survive—a dollar or a share, it DOES make a difference. 13 hours left ‼️ 10/1000

Please share; we have 16 hours left. I know you’re tired of seeing my countdowns (if you can see this at all). Hope hope hope. That’s the ask. Six families still facing death in an ongoing genocide—so we keep going & help them get food, shelter, more. 10/1000

wow so many fireworks going off in the UK tonight, I can’t believe how excited the Brits are about Zohran Mamdani ☺️

🧪

They also ran her over with a car, wtf.

been getting dispatches from my mum and brother this afternoon from her birthday party and I just think it’s a bit rude to have a cake she can’t eat, tbh 🤷🏻‍♀️

please wish my family dog Nana a happy 8th birthday please

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.
