ISRAEL BOMBED NEXT TO UNESCO SITE OF TYRE AGAIN

For over a year, my little dream and little posts have been their lifeline. None of us want it that way, but they're on the brink of famine. 21 families + the model of recurring giving—so they can rely on having shelter & a bite to eat for their kids. Join 280+ members: chuffed.org/project/hope...

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Hunger is escalating - help six families & a camp eat!! Prices are going up, the crossing is still closed, these pledges are disappearing, and our sustained attention matters. The best way to help is by clicking “weekly/monthly” on a coffee or spare change: chuffed.org/project/hope...

Just saw over on Instagram that @firestorm.coop, a really awesome worker-owned radical bookstore and mutual aid hub in Asheville, NC, is struggling financially and needs support to stay open. I highly recommend buying books from them, and becoming a sustainer on Patreon if you can!

This week is slated to be the lowest support since October.

Earth, from Artemis II. Everything you've ever done, everyone you've ever known, all that you have traveled is contained in this picture.

If you are in the UK and you want to help, use Dr. Divya's link. If you elsewhere, check out this link (same fundraiser) and sign up to donate monthly! chuffed.org/project/crip... Dr. Divya suggests we sign up for the cost of a coffee (~$7 if you're in the US) each month. One coffee = one eSIM!

🏺 I hope you all can enjoy this friend-shaped Bes jar from Late Period Faiyum, now at the World Museum in Liverpool. 📜 www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/artifact/bes...

i vetted this to make sure it wasn’t ai so you could enjoy it fully

reactivating to share this. trans voices are barely heard even while we're busy being kicked around for political clout by abject weirdos and/or fascists. so shares are appreciated 🙏

Eid Mubarak to everyone...except those profiting off of Sudanese, Palestinian, Congolese, Haitian and Indigenous (and all other oppressed people's) death and destruction. May this year bring you ruin and may your wealth be redistributed to those you stole from.

This is the real takeaway from the Parable series — that we should find our people and organize our lives together. Not, "Octavia Butler predicted the future."

Delightful Egyptian #hedgehog. 🥰🦔🥰

"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning" got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing

"[T]he Lemkin Institute believes that the United States is squarely within the early to middle stages of a genocidal process against trans people, the goal of which is to completely erase transgender people not only from public life but also from existence in the U.S. and globally."

The field of archaeology was developed as a tool of imperialism and settler colonialism and every attempt to depoliticize archaeology is an abdication of our responsibility to actively undo the harms of our predecessors through reparative justice🏺

One of my favourite artworks from Sudan's 2018-19 uprising. The Arabic writing translates to "A woman's place is the resistance" (by A. Satir, 2019).

The last photo of Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, a third-grade student killed in the reported U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab, Iran. He is waving goodbye to his mother.

I’m now hearing up to 80 students. I’m sure those kids will be presented as threats somehow, but they’re little children with hopes and dreams and people who loved them and they're the exact people who are used tokenisitically in demands for regime change.

solidarity with all marginalized people in Kansas. you are not alone. together we are going to build the better world we all deserve.

NEW: Hundreds of Palestinians gathered 800 meters from the yellow line at Abu Hussein School in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza Strip to celebrate the first day of Ramadan together despite what Fouad Al-Mallah said was "the hardship, confinement, and lack of resources we face."

People can say it’s utopian or dreamy but it’s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because it’s not at all.

In a recent interview, I was asked about the British Museum as a site of public history. I replied that I'm not sure that that's what the BM is engaged in. The British Museum is about power, and power frequently seeks to obscure history.

Look at the superb hound and jackal detail on these ancient game pieces! 😍 📷 The Met

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

This one never gets old and has been my favorite Internet post for more than a decade - enjoy, dear followers

I will keep screaming this from the rooftops-it's not a distraction to do normal social activities with comrades.* On a basic human level, you are more likely to show up for people you consider to be friends than people you consider to be activist buddies. It's just a fact, and not a moral failing.

hey babe, wake up, a @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social clip ended up on the anarchist side of Bluesky again

All i can say is that a an archaeologist (a) i wish my specialist knowledge a was LESS relevant to the present moment and (b) nothing breaks the spell of capitalist violence faster than taking just how long we existed without it and that there have always been alternatives

Clearly these folks have never organized an event, likely because that work was delegated to the women in their lives who just "magically" make things happen. This is literally just event planning and phone trees, and especially with delegation and experience, it doesn't take long to put together.

More Minneapolis mutual aid resources in the thread

A friend in MPLS sent me some resources to spread around to help support the folks under siege, so please give if you are able: www.standwithminnesota.com (resource hub) linktr.ee/mplsmutualaid (resource hub) linktr.ee/ICEOUTmutual... (food distribution, immigrant support services) 1/3

"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

Every part of this thread, the resistance and the horrors, makes me weep for different reasons Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

This is a global far right power grab, so the sooner everybody realizes that and puts aside their deeply outdated notions around national identity, which got us here to begin with, the better. The only way out is through, but the only way through is all of us fighting these climate warlords together

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

Hatshepsut, one of Ancient Egypt's few female pharaohs, possibly died #OnThisDay in 1458 BC. She was succeeded by her nephew, Thutmose III, who allegedly destroyed her statuary as an act of political persecution. The reality, however, is more complex. 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... 🏺 #Archaeology

I know it’s a meme, but I feel better places to face the horrors of today because I’ve spent so long learning about how other people before me faced them

it is fascinating to me how many people are failing to realize domestic american fascism and the genocide of palestinians are actually two sides of the same coin

The Wampanoag would like a word

Really excited to get into stress gardening in 2026

Takes like this are anti-diversity, unethical, and wrong. They also reveal a fundamental disagreement among historians. Let me explain. #AHA26 #AHA2026 #history #highed 🧵 www.chronicle.com/article/acad...
