Couldn't agree more with this (and it's really about time we ditch that term!):

Book cultures in archaeology YESPLEASE!🏺

One of the most neglected finds in #Caribbean #archaeology —spindle whorls. This one is from St Lucia ~ AD 600, most likely to spin cotton or agave/maguey fibres. #FindsFriday #ArchaeoSky #Textiles #TextileArchaeology #Arqueología

NEW Archaeologists find the earliest evidence for blue pigment use in Europe, dating back ~13,000 years and questioning the long-held belief that Palaeolithic artists only used red or black. Strap in for a colourful #AntiquityThread 1/10 🧵 🏺 #Archaeology

O que falta: máis igualdade, máis dereitis laborais, máis vivenda social, empatía coa inmigración, novo avance en sanidade e educación públicas, máis espazo natural protexido, máis abundancia cultural e poñer a emerxencia climática no centro da acción pública. elpais.com/economia/202...

Published in June but very useful now that term begins: "LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels", which "raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and ...into AI's role in learning." www.media.mit.edu/publications...

On the day Rubio inaugurated an archaeological “tunnel burrowed under a Palestinian district, along a Roman-era street” in an “archaeological park established by an Israeli settler organisation… Israeli planes bombed the most important storage depot of ancient artefacts in Gaza City”

The racists were marching and committing violence against people of colour when there were tiny numbers here. You simply cannot deport your way out of this so why not commit to anti-racism instead

Estamos en 2025 y hay que explicar que las vacunas protegen de las enfermedades, el paracetamol no provoca autismo, la tierra no es plana y que hay que IR A VOTAR EN MASA para que los idiotas no nos gobiernen.

Yet, the lie has travelled already around the world fuelling (yet more) racist and xenophobic narratives, whilst the truth (immigrants are *beneficial* to the economy) is putting on its shoes.

This piece of news about the @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social mess of the last weeks is very very very serious. If you did not sign the campaign we are moving to try change things at the EAA yet, maybe this helps to decide… here is the link: ee-eu.kobotoolbox.org/x/QInTdoHZ The news ⬇️

'It is so cataclysmically bad' for #ECR now. So painfully true. It's abt historians, but has been like this in #archaeology since yrs. I'm one of the privileged ones, and has taken me 10 ys post-PhD to land a permanent position after changing countries eight times. frenchhistorysociety.co.uk/6691/

"A nuestro cuerpo no se le ha permitido ser normal ni tener funciones corporales normales, en el sexo o en los hábitos intestinales", dice Elizabeth Comen, autora de ‘No seas exagerada', una historia de cómo la medicina olvidó a las mujeres

Absolutely disgraceful. “UC Berkeley shares 160 names with Trump administration in ‘McCarthy era’ move”

There are ~43 million people in the U.S. speaking Spanish, over 10 million of them are in California. Let that sink in. The legalisation of racial profiling in LA will, however, not stop at Latinos. This racial horror will haunt every non-white person in the US. This is just the beginning.

"Policymakers should redistribute the money they spend on APCs to non-commercial presses [...]. Universities should support these presses via in-house services where possible" 📣 Exactly the Spanish, Portuguese & most Latin American countries' model **since decades**! But hey, what do we know...

Okay, I think the first teaching of later prehistory in Britain is by P.G.H. Boswell at Liverpool from 1917. From Pamela Smith, early prehistory is first taught by Alison Quiggin in Homerton College, Cambridge by 1912.

No surprise that household complaints about privatised water have soared Water is a natural monopoly and they just increased our bills by 35%! PUBLIC OWNERSHIP would save £3-5 billion a year - that money could reduce bills and/or clean up our rivers www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Mira, lo siento... otra vez el tema de los chavales se hacen fachas por arte de magia y no porque se ha invertido un montón de dinero para ello no, por favor. Y encima metiendo mierda a la izquierda y al feminismo, que ha ido demasiado lejos y no ha sabido gustar, menos.

Great start for @sophiasgaler.bsky.social 's 'Universities Challenged' with its 'Tuition Impossible' episode. A primer for the uninitiated on university finance and economic impacts. Hoping research too gets attention in the next episode, when culture wars are under view. Well worth listening to.

In other news, Isr*el Foreign Ministry calls the Spanish Gov 'overtly antisemitic' (for banning Israel-bound war ships and aircrafts & for the genoc*de of the Palestin*ans) and links such 'antisemitism' with the expulsion of the Sephardic J*ws from the Spanish Kingdoms in the 15th century.
