To anyone throwing our LGBTQ+ community under the bus: grow a spine. To those who want to ruin the lives of our trans loved ones, take away their access to healthcare, blame them for society’s ills, + take away their rights: grow a heart. To Eric Adams: We look forward to you leaving Gracie Mansion.

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

The European Broadcasting Union is now faced with a serious 'coalition management' issue after 5 countries said they will pull out of #Eurovision if Israel is in it next year. If this isn't handled well, it could spell the end of the storied song contest.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

Olafur Eliasson will debut ‘A symphony of disappearing sounds for the Great Salt Lake’ in Salt Lake City in 2026, highlighting the ecological crisis facing the shrinking body of water. buff.ly/8EUEeF1

Removing information about slavery at Harper’s Ferry is like removing information about hydroelectric power at the Hoover Dam. “John Brown went to Harper’s Ferry because he was so infected by the woke mind virus that he had a pathological hatred of states rights.”

“The latest orders include removing information at Harpers Ferry National Historic Park in West Virginia, two people familiar with the matter said, where the abolitionist John Brown led a raid seeking to arm slaves for a revolt.”

WSJ just retracted its report that the shooter’s ammo was engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.” It smelled like bullshit from the beginning, and every conservative who ran with it should be shamed into obscurity.

The US froze USAID wildlife aid. Rangers pulled back, poachers surged. Elephants and lions were left exposed, communities stripped of patrols, Maasai budgets slashed. What we cut in Washington is paid in blood in Africa.

Drop Site News At Mexico City’s Zócalo, Puerto Rican rapper Residente – the most decorated artist in Latin Grammy history – used his free, city-sponsored concert to demonstrate solidarity with Palestine. He brought the Abed family, refugees from Gaza, on stage before a crowd of 180,000,

Same goes for ice skating in the Netherlands!

On 8 September, Shadi Khoury, a former student of Ramallah Friends School, will receive the judgement of an Israeli military court after facing unsubstantiated charges for nearly three years. Write to your MP now to ask them to urgently advocate for his human rights to be upheld.

The Manhattan Project began at Columbia (hence the project's name) the very institution that the US government has been trying to destroy for the past year. If one really aspired to a new Manhattan Project, one would defend American universities.

Dear colleagues, some concerning news has been circulating this week in relation to the 2025 @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social Annual Meeting (Belgrade Virtual). We, the IAI Board, believe it is important to acknowledge & share this info. Please see the full statement, with links, here: buff.ly/8YG0WmV

More sad news for the polar community... Arctic Research Consortium of the United States (@arcus-arctic.bsky.social) is shutting down. We all lose here. The past 8 months have been unthinkable, and their consequences for the future even more so.

#Culture + #climateaction are stronger together. At #COP29, our Director of Community @andrewspotts.bsky.social highlighted how heritage helps communities adapt, share knowledge, and build resilience. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7P3...

I can’t believe doing nothing but in the most annoying way possible isn’t working www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.” Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

Keen to be green? Caring about carbon? You're in luck! Historic England have launched new training workshops, covering 'How to Measure a Carbon Footprint', and 'How To Write a Carbon Reduction Plan'! Check out our Blogpost all about it for more: buff.ly/7wpe1ZA

i feel like this is a good time to mention the history trust of south Australia have found the pricilla bus and i believe are still looking for funds to conserve it properly

Another day another #ClimateHeritage story.

Massive and growing protest in Anchorage against President Trump and Putin meeting tomorrow on Ukraine without Ukraine.

The thing is, it’s a more important piece of white American history.

We don’t get to delay sea level rise. Or wildfire smoke. Or extreme heat. But Gov. Hochul wants to delay our climate plan—until after her re-election bid. I’m in this race to deliver results. Not excuses. Read more of my opinion on my substack: delgadoforny.substack.com/p/governor-h...

Quitting UNESCO puts America First only in the sense that it firstly harms American work on oceans, biodiversity, science, education & heritage. Another victim: work to counter anti-semitism & Holocaust denialism. The real winners? America’s rivals to whom we’ve ceded another sphere of influence. 🤯

The US doesn’t have enough quality sculptors or museum-caliber foundries to finish Trump's National Garden of American Heroes by his July 2026 deadline

A tiny but wild snapshot of the current chaos

Dutch Jewish author Maurits de Bruijn, speaking on stage, because his family members became victims of genocide: "The Holocaust is now used to justify genocide in Gaza". www.nu.nl/binnenland/6...

There are currently over 500 signatories to an open letter asking the heads of British archaeological bodies such as the CBA, FAME, UAUK & CIfA, to intervene with the GOVUK and EHRC over the rights of trans archaeologists & the wider trans community. The letter remains open until tomorrow, 7 May

Here is the grad speech that NYU is now withholding the student's diploma for: "As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine."

Especially sitting here in the USA as I am, really appreciating this message from @euclimateaction.bsky.social for International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. To realize 1.5° pathways, work for just and inclusive societies. #IDAHOT #IDAHOBIT #PRIDE

Workers at the Kennedy Center have faced layoffs, censorship and uncertainty from management about their jobs. Now, they’re organizing. Congrats to the Kennedy Center United Arts Workers on announcing their intent to unionize.

In the 1980s Mr Trump took a sledge hammer to the art deco friezes of the Bonwit Teller building rather than sell them to the Met who offered to preserve them. Today we see that wasn’t an isolated incident but rather an exemplar of his worldview. #WeAreAllGeneralštab news.artnet.com/art-world/do...

Will Megarry kicking off the climate session at #ICAHM2025 with a discussion highlighting intangible heritage & non-economic #LossAndDamage. Archaeology is well placed to address loss & adaptation in a climate context. Also - heritage professionals need climate training. #ClimateHeritage #icomos 🏺

A small group of monks, scientists, government officials and community members gathered today in Langtang, Nepal, to mark the decline of one of the most studied glaciers in the central Himalaya.

“The Trump family’s $500 million luxury hotel project in Serbia … has run into an embarrassing complication. A key document the Serbian government has relied on to” to revoke the site’s status as a cultural monument and deliver this deal was forged by heritage authorities. 🧐
