Good news! @oxbowbooks.bsky.social are extending the sale prices on all the books featured in their advent calendar until the end of 2025. There is soooo much good stuff in there. If any archaeology geeks out there with Christmas present money to spend are wondering what to do with it 👇

In related news, my article on touching relics in Merovingian Gaul is out! Enjoy in Materially in Ancient Narrative: www.barkhuis.nl/product/mate... #medieval #medievalsky #lateantiquity #skystorians

As a special treat for #HillfortsWednesday landing on Christmas Eve, we’re sharing some wintery images of hillforts in the care of the National Trust! The photos are of Figsbury Ring (Wiltshire), Hod Hill (Dorset), Mam Tor (Derbyshire) and Cissbury Ring (West Sussex).

Turku, Finland has declared Christmas Peace!

This is social media, a place to socialize. While that gets lost sometimes, that social function still shines through sometimes. So if you're lonely, or struggling at Christmas the #JoinIn hashtag is welcoming and fun

Happy Winter Solstice / Christmas from the land of the Durotriges! We're going to close the hillfort gate for a couple of days, so take care out there and see you all soon All together now: "After all there's only one more multivallate Iron Age enclosure till Christmas" #HillfortsWednesday

Good to hear @britishacademy.bsky.social President @sjs1869.bsky.social on Radio 4 Today this morning talking about the importance of the humanities and social sciences for human ingenuity to shape a better future. Plus references to Habermas on technology & deliberative democracy, and Bell Hooks

How I'm turning up to the Bluesky Christmas partt 🎄🎍✨️

It is Christmas Eve morning. The REAL Christmas in Finland. Swigging pink prosecco to celebrate... And you? 🥳🎄🎍✨️

Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen & Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen firmly reiect Trump's idea that Greenland should come under U.S. control. That allies don't behave like this. That allies have steadfastly supported the USA. And now this. Don't violate international law.

Twas the last #HillfortsWednesday before Christmas When all through Dorset Not a rampart was stirring Not even the sinuously muscular multivallate eastern circuit of Eggardon Iron Age hillfort (here captured from the road that skirts its NE side in Feb 2020) Happy Holidays everyone !!

It's the last #HillfortsWednesday before Christmas 🥳🛖🎄 Regrettably my year in hillforts has been like... 🙄

The Citânia de Briteiros Iron Age Hillfort during a snowfall in 2009. In Guimarães, Portugal. Happy Christmas Eve! 🎄🎍✨️ #HillfortsWednesday

2025: Web pages vanished. Links broke. Public data disappeared. But the Internet Archive kept the receipts. From investigative reports to video features, these stories show why preserving the web became one of the year’s defining information battles. ➡️ blog.archive.org/2025/12/22/t... 🧵

Since it’s official. Thanks 🙏 @newyorker.com. This feels pretty surreal.

The mark of a free society is that there is the right to protest & to free speech. Greta Thunberg has been arrested in London for holding a pro-Palestine poster; tens of thousands of far right rioted at the Cenotaph pro-Israel, causing public disorder & violence. Only 25 of them were arrested!

So you can be arrested for supporting imprisoned peaceful protesters who may die on hunger strike. Interesting. The government makes itself worse and more cruel daily. Excellent of Greta Thunberg to do this to heighten concern for their plight.
