New paper. Recording the female experience of UK archaeology 1990-2010. Anne Teather and I document how an industry EDI agenda evolved in the 1990s and was dismantled, uncovering the ramifications of that for women archaeologists over the next decade.

We won’t tackle media misinformation by patronising the working class. If we want to project a socialist message, it might be a good idea to learn some socialist basics.

Interesting. Although I do suspect hairdressers might understand that they are not millionaires. But yes, let’s hope that’s the issue.

Interesting take by the Greens. Have taken Corbyn’s politics of hope, whilst explaining what ‘tax the rich’ means as if speaking to children. Might just work.

happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

Work really hard and one day this can be you (followed by graffiti of a headstone that says “RIP worked really hard” on it

Fascism does not begin with gas chambers
Or genocide.

It begins with hate speech,
It begins with dehumanising minorities
It begins with small infractions of civil liberties
Chipping away at laws which protect all, equally.

If we are not actively against fascism,

This is where we can be led.

Two strains doing the rounds apparently. I think we’ve had both now. Just ready yourself for some PVF impact at the other side. You know the drill.

Still not back to previous activity levels but that’s the only tell. I really can’t call it this winter. Just hoping HRT improves the immune system 🤞🏼

Dr Rachel Pope @prehistorian.bsky.social · 4d

Ah man that’s bad! I’m the opposite, I seem to catch each strain before it’s even announced! Must be up to over 10 by now. How long’s it had you?

Same. I caught shingles, RSV and norovirus in succession - dipped my health for months. But then milder Covid now.. Hoping HRT might help this winter.
