Rowling is, in my opinion, an utter fucking danger to all women and girls, c!s or trans. Trans women never threatened my child's safety the way her toilet vigilantes will.
Exactly this.
A strong theme this afternoon has been pay vs passion. It’s an important topic and we all need to don more to help people thrive in archaeology. We have done much about creating a pipeline of new talent, maybe now is the time we think about how we retain talent & help it thrive
Like the post, dislike the reality - wages in archaeology remain an ongoing challenge, and a huge issue in relation to #wellbeing. #askanarchaeologist #festivalofarchaeology
Hugely difficult.. and this is an aspect of archaeology we really need to look very closely at if we are going to talk about wellbeing. The BAJR Poverty Impact Reports from 2022 & 2024 show we've got huge issues in the sector. P.S. Join a union... bajr.org/wp-content/upl…
Richard Reece & Tim Champion: incredibly positive influences & mentors over years. Richard bent my brain in all sorts of ways I didn't know it could be & Tim: best boss, PhD supervisor & friend & for saying he was glad to have me back in Prehist after my time in post-med!! 🤣
Question from Insta: Who is your inspiration in archaeology? @AskAnArchDay #AskAnArchaeologist
Ok so, true story. When I was studying @UCLarchaeology years ago, the dept was given the real whip, which was auctioned to help towards the cost of new labs!!! We soooooo wanted to keep it an have it framed!! 🤣
A TikTok question!!! Do we dare? .... Is Indiana Jones a good archeologist? #AskAnArchaeologist @AskAnArchDay

No, I'm sorry. #Corbyn may be good (but I've not forgiven him wanting to leave Europe) but clusterf*ck of party name & screwed up comms (again) is just rubbish. We need party that can act fast & I don't think internecine war of Labour left can do that. Glad I chose Green 💚
Spot on.
If the only way you'll ever hear someone call out Nigel Farage's destructive, divisive politics on the BBC is for me to do it, then so be it.
Reform's first 2 ever council defences were tonight, and they've lost both of them.
Time for this again... #Archaeology youtu.be/Y38pbfJ4i_U?si…
Paul Nuttalls of the UKIPs appointed Reform UK deputy chairman. He's the man that lied about: • Being a footballer • Having a PhD • Losing close friends at Hillsborough telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…
This week JK Rowling launched an attack on The National, describing us as an 'anti-woman newspaper'. At The National we deal in truth, and will not be cowed by a billionaire trying to control media output to fit her own worldview, writes our editor Laura Webster✍️
Did you know that 21 paedophiles were convicted on Monday for abusing seven children who were 12-years-old or younger?
If the Wallace really wants to “connect diverse audiences with one of the world’s most remarkable art collections”, it could just stop charging exorbitant fees to reproduce images of its collection.
Does London's unique and much-loved Wallace Collection require a "transformational journey"? A "masterplan" for the 6-year long, massive overhaul was announced earlier this week. Here's why I have my doubts: thecritic.co.uk/the-transforma…
