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.
How can autistic people cope, when their passions or special interests become irretrievably flawed, or get canceled? Stellar advice from @fodderfigure.bsky.social, new at TPGA

🏺 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!

Amazing field school group and grateful to have been part of it!
Yesterday we hosted our Glencoe Archaeology Festival with @nts-archaeology.bsky.social at the Glencoe visitor centre.
Visitors were treated to finds handling sessions run by our students, site tours by Derek, experimental archaeology, an archaeology-art installation, and storytelling!

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.

🚨 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.
