I’m delighted to show off the cover of my second poetry collection, featuring art work by Helen Garrett - a painter of great clarity and depth.
Poems from the past 8 years, about archaeology, myths, animals, art, the material of being, the living matter around us.

We call on Peers to reinsert this measure into the Bill when it comes back to them.

A future where nature and people thrive together is possible. We just need the Government to listen.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

I loved working on this show. Showcasing what archaeologists do best, their care and compassion when dealing with human remains.

Troubling. I knew the PAS was under financial pressure and has always faced an uphill task, but I hadn't quite realised the scale of the problem.
The piece where I get to say everything that's bugging me about the world of detecting & archaeology & ask - why are we not more concerned about this?

(Thank you to everyone who read through drafts & offered thoughts, advice and ideas.)

30 or more years ago, I taught English in Willenhall.
Happy to think of pupils today being greeted by such a smile and sense of adventure!!!
Roy gets to school just after me in the morning, every day. By 7am he has done his pre journey checks and is off out to collect students.

He is a big part of our rise in attendance.

I hadn’t noticed until today that he has had his own hat printed. @willenhalle-act.bsky.social #weloveroy

The destruction of #Gaza by Israel continues, with nearly 200.000 structures damaged or destroyed, according to the latest @UNOSAT / @UNHABITAT analysis. With over 60 million tons of rubble, and most of the agricultural land gone, Gaza is made unhabitable

Great summary from @hcrichardson.bsky.social - it’s devastating what Trump and his Project 25 people are doing to the USA.

However I think they have underestimated the resolve of the American people and the world. Good will win out. People will see the potential for cruelty and choose again.

so what, US colleagues and friends, should the Smithsonian do next?

(A question asked in the knowledge that many will feel unable to offer a professional opinion because of the culture of fear and silence that this administration is managing to create—so I 💯 wouldn’t judge anyone by silence here)
tone-policing museum labels for "alignment with American ideals", replacing "ideological" content and “highlighting American achievement and progress", supplying copies of all grant applications, the word Americanism to be always printed in bold—Trump’s breakup letter to the Smithsonian has it all
