This is a really great article about something I've been going through a lot lately (Hanson and Gaiman among others). There seems to be a massive trend of creators turning out to be utterly terrible people.

🏺 Last month, I stepped down from my role as Research Officer for the Enabled Archaeology Foundation after three years of volunteering. My last act as a committee member was to contribute to a new guide for disability inclusion for BAJR, which you can now view online! www.bajr.org/wp-content/u...

Well done to all the @uofglasgow.bsky.social archaeology students and staff for all their input today for the #Glencoe and #Achnacon open day. Sound scapes, poems, artefact displays, stories, hands on, and digging. @n-t-s.bsky.social @eddiecstewart.bsky.social @lizzierobertson.bsky.social

Amazing field school group and grateful to have been part of it!

@archscot.bsky.social @uofgartshums.bsky.social @nts-archaeology.bsky.social collaborate to bring this project together. Our team comprises staff from these institutions as well as students from @uofglasgow.bsky.social and volunteers from the local area and further afield.

What an incredible experience at the Glencoe Field School team from Glasgow. Sensory walks, soundscapes, squelchy bogs, & troweling. So grateful -also- to have been included in Open Day creative installation. Such a wonderful team to be a part of. #Archaeology #GlasgowUniversity #Scotland #Glencoe

I need your support to keep BISH going. I need 2000 (two thousand) people to join the Patreon at £1 a month. That would pay me to work on BISH for two days a week. I need a pay rise, can you help? www.bishuk.com/support/

In Fife, @mafs-scot.bsky.social‬ are excavating the 12th-century Lindores Abbey, which has a long tradition of distilling 🥃 Visit the site from 21 June to 4 July or head to their Open Day on 3 July for site tours and a showcase of the finds: www.digitscotland.com/events/monas... #ScotlandDigs2025

🚨 Sunday 15th is the LAST DAY of the June dig in Govan Old's 1,500-year-old graveyard! ⛏️ See the University of Glasgow Archaeology excavations between c. 11am-4pm for a FREE tour of the early medieval trenches; it's the perfect complement to our Viking-Age carved stones inside our A-listed church.

What a great visit at the end of the first week of @mafs-scot.bsky.social at Lindores Abbey.

And so it begins! Four weeks with students & the amazing monastic archaeology field school team @alisonibeach.bsky.social @bh-archaeology.bsky.social & Derek Hall. Come see us at Lindores Abbey! @mafs-scot.bsky.social

“Nearly half of neurodivergent people are more likely to rely on public transport to travel for healthcare appointments compared to their neurotypical peers, with disruptions to transport services potentially creating adverse health outcomes for ND people.” www.autistica.org.uk/news/public-...

I feel seen. 😬

We are back! It's our prep week and we are doing all sorts of organising, washing up, and getting ready to welcome our new cohort of field school students next week. Happy, shiny hard hats are ready! @lindoresabbey.bsky.social #Archaeology #FieldSchool #LindoresAbbey #Fife #Scotland

Always find joy in David’s observations and short poems. #TinyJoys

Are you interested in re-wilding? We have a questionnaire on re-wilding and the historic environment open, and keen to hear from ecologists, land managers, and archaeological practitioners. Access the questionnaire here - uofg.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

We want this show to continue. Please finish the story. #SaveWOT #TheWheelOfTime youtu.be/XMJmOXA8PrM?...

Pryde Month!

This is... So much worse than I could have dreamed?

Rachel is amazing - give her a follow! #Archaeology #HistorySky #Heritage

Very, very awesome things happening with this project! Cannot wait to see what unfolds.

Wonderful- simply wonderful. Autistic people and their special interests often get pushed aside, but this is just pure joy. Encouragement and allowing us to be who we are - with our special interests - can make a real difference to us and the world. #TinyJoys

Are you a neurodivergent researcher who uses archives? We want to hear from you! We will be running our 1st Divergent Minds in the Archive workshop at Imperial War Museum on 4th July, 10-4.15. More info👇🏻. Sign up here lnkd.in/eUFBQg3p. Closing date for applications June 4th #skyhistorians

🚨NEWS🚨 Government scraps higher-level apprenticeship funding We are concerned at the implications of this for Disabled people, who face additional barriers in employment and education - we should not be cut off from funded training by an age limit www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/governm...

🚨 This is the first-ever Wot Wednesday without The Wheel of Time in production. Let’s make it count. 💡 Your prompt for today: Share what the Wheel of Time means to you #️⃣ Use hashtags: #SaveWOT #WotWednesday #TheWheelOfTime

“All of us are continually gathering ideas, stories, glimpses, encounters that we can sift through to find constellations of meaning.” @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social‬ on finding yourself and 20 years of A Field Guide to Getting Lost.

The countdown is on and are students arrive in less than two weeks! So what will they get up to? Explore some of the themes our students will engage in during the 4-week field school. #Archaeology #FieldSchool #Scotland #LindoresAbbey #Fife #Heritage mafs-scot.org/field-school...

This really opened the floodgates 😭 #TheWheelofTime youtu.be/6Gtu5g-VNjQ?...

"It is a mystery what these hills may have looked like hundreds of years ago – no detailed historical records exist." ... Geoarchaeologists assemble!

In case you missed it: #AutINSAR is a much-needed discussion between autistic people, autism researchers, family members, and professionals about priorities in autism research. This year it happened during #INSAR2025. Recap at TPGA: thinkingautismguide.com/2025/05/what... #autism #neurodiversity

CANMORE is going - much to the dismay of many - and here is a tribute to its incredible, far-reaching contribution. CANMORE is part of our heritage and it’s loss will have lingering effects. #DigitalArchaeology #Heritage #History ##Scotland

I thought someone should write a brief tribute to Scotland's online archives Canmore and Scran (and their other superb counterparts) in their last days before the move to Trove - and it might as well be me. So here it is. www.jameshamilton.co.uk/uncategorize...

On successfully navigating life after a late autism diagnosis: “If I were to advise anyone in a similar situation, I would say, ‘give yourself the time to relearn who you are and adjust to your diagnosis’.” www.communitycare.co.uk/2025/05/21/d... #autism #neurodiversity

A medieval mystery resurfaces. The Lough Kinale Shrine, once lost in an Irish lake, is now conserved. Explore the story of this sacred artefact and its journey through time, then see it in person from 30th May, 2025, at the National Museum of Ireland. www.museum.ie/en-IE/Collec...

The shadow of the Long Neolithic provides shelter for stories. Its umbra houses an ecosystem of folklore grown from our complex relationship between place and need for narrative. The landscape's lithic story engines have never stopped turning. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

Check out Lavender’s Nonspeaker Library — it is a collection of posts, writing, art, poetry, researcher, and more by and about nonspeaking people and people with communication disabilities. www.tumblr.com/nonspeakerli...

This week keep on handing out good things. 💚 Delighted to have been selected as a "Mentor" in the Neurodivergent Humanities Network. NDHum is off to a great start & doing wonderful things. Give them a follow! @ndhumanities.bsky.social ndhumanities.com/mentorship-s... #NDHum #Neuroodivergent

Normalise writing a nice quick note to scholars literally every time you read and like their work. Our world is small and getting smaller. We need encouragement.

The cool thinge aboute writinge ys that it ys absolutely difficult and payneful but then when you are done you looke back and you... still doubt what you wrote. And yet even wyth all that, so much bettir than Gen AI. To wryte ys to risk, and thus to joyne all othir wryteres yn risk and possibilitye.

Truth.

This is excellent—superb 👩‍🍳😘 As an over sharer I have become very skilled at seeing the eye glaze, boredom look in people. The guilt and shame of being a person whose brain can’t shut off, the need to get all out, and share everything can be really sucky.

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

Calling all maritime, coastal and intertidal archaeologists, you can support these students from the GAZAMAP project to complete their degrees
