The Green party has been unapologetically supportive of trans people and they took a seat from Labour after they gave cracked down on trans people. Liberal parties cannot abandon trans people without losing their base.

Happy Friday! 👻

Allow the British public to believe for even one second that they don't need to vote for "the lesser evil" and Labour will evaporate like a thin trickle of piss on a hot rock

🏺 Whoompf, fascinating stuff, demographic modelling suggests Neanderthal admixture in modern humans was largely driven by Neanderthal males having children with modern human females.

Excellent news to wake up to this morning

What's that you say! It was all just fear pushing by bad faith groups and that trans women pose no threat to cisgender women. www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

I’m going to second this!

🏺 Excellent that we may be on the way to banning the sale of human remaining the UK. Congratulations to the British Association of Biological Anthropologists Task Force for getting it this far. It’s been a grey area because there’s no legal ownership for human remains.

We've been working super hard towards this for *years*. Still a long way to go, but it's great to see it's being brought to the UK Commons. Super proud of our Taskforce and everything we've achieved so far. Follow the link to read the full statement. babao.org.uk/bill-to-stop...

Tapping the sign...well, the screengrab:

We are not over this archaeology site...✨Not even close✨ Check out our latest #OCAArchTeam blog post featuring one of the most substantial scientific excavations of a Roman cemetery found in Britain in recent years. 🔗 tr.ee/WyMd1b @nationalhighways.bsky.social @cotswoldarch.bsky.social

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

New video about our #Roman cemetery just dropped!

Folks in the US might like to know that despite Musk and Trump's lies London remains much safer than US cities and is getting safer. It hasn't required out of control ICE agents to shoot anyone to achieve this. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Incredible that the shooter can be described as anti-fascist. He was anti THAT fascist for not being fascist enough.

“without food, we would’ve gone bankrupt by now” 100% human writing, great work LLM

Also - come and get my job! Which I’m still partially doing, but someone needs to take up the slack/ allow me to send them to far flung locations to retrieve mysterious ancient samples. See the World*! *mainly Britain. crick.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

Another day, another article in the press on metal-detecting that makes zero mention of the PAS or the Treasure Act. Seriously, why are we bothering? #ancientbluesky

Urgh how is my 3 day weekend nearly over already?!

Photoshopping John Oliver onto fossils until the Paleontological Research Institution secures their funding! Modern specimen of the crab Calappa flammea from the Florida Keys (PRI 42120). Comedian is H. sapiens. Not to scale.

Who else here was privileged enough to have studied archaeology with a scholarship? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Let’s pay it forward to these 12 future archaeologists who have never more than now needed the support (financial and moral) so much? ❤️ gogetfunding.com/help-gazan-s...

Important statement on recent calls to change legislation regarding human remains in #museums 👇 Also a reminder that consistent use of appropriate terminology is crucial! #archaeology

How long until they start proposing The Purge

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
