I used to be a Mesolithic archaeologist. In 2020 Covid19 hit me, crashed me. My pleas for help continue. Year 5 chronic #LongCovid, now bed-bound, unable to walk, no income or support, bankruptcy close, house repossession on horizon. Please help and share if you can 🆘

Was he drug-tested or IQ-tested? QED. Lavatory seats, germs and the rest he said himself. Keep the receipts.

#FlintFriday #FindsFriday #Archaeology Apprentice at work? Late Mesolithic triangular flint. Conjecture, but sense of somebody working to a visual shape (triangular microlith) but not by the usual rules (more info in the pic). Other microliths on the rescue site are perfect. Somebody trying hard?

The evidence of zero education. I can hear his head rattling with nuts. Obscene prejudice and utter lack of self-awareness.

Talk to an archaeologist. We can take you back 1500 years, 2000 years (with Africans), 3000, 5000, 12,000, 30,000 and if you can keep up 950,000 in bleedin' Norfolk footprints on the beach. All evidenced. And some people were black. Shocking I know. All forrins. No flags.
Mate, it was 1066. Move on.

Here's one with a fly-drone for scale (to the right). The moss covers the upland landscape in wet areas. In summer it's like laying on a soft spongey mattrass. Romans and earlier ancestors used it for bottom-wiping after an - excuse me - poo.

Timeline cleanse. This is Sphagnum moss, North York Moors (in February). Getty charge £275 for a similar image. No Epstein, no Trump, no political rubbish, no war, no hostility, no ex-royals, no money or greed, no cruelty or exploitation. Simply wet moss in my own bog. -SCx

With all the sh*t going on in the world, here's some grouse poo from Yorkshire. Not seen in the Epstein files. That's all.

Even stone tools. I laid out a Mesolithic excavation plan & finds 1:1 in an office. You can see the hearths "of gossip", where people sat, knapped flints, maybe a kids' area, moved around, the swept tepee circle, rubbish dumps, food prep, arrow repairs, and a stone anvil seat. Spookily intimate.

Straight out of the classic Malignant Narcissist's playbook. Play the victim.
I deleted my post from before…

I thought it was fake

So I went to WH Smith and here it is

An unbelievable attempt to sanitise this man and normalise what’s he’s done.

Tales From London W10: Forty Days & Forty Nights it is *NOT* raining! Clear sky. I can see the Grenfell Tower memorial lights, every night, overhead. Nine years now, 2017, since 72 innocent people died. Huge Inquiry. Nobody prosecuted yet. How they sleep at night, gods only know.

Important milestone, huge relief. 25yr defaulted mortgage paid off with Equity Release. I used SAGA-HUB-Just Retirement, Trustpilot 4.3 Excellent. They are. If anybody wants a referral, would be a pleasure. www.wearejust.co.uk
PS I'm also #LongCovid disabled since 2020 so this is crucial.

2.30am London, it's stopped raining for 10 mins, every day since December. WTF is going on? Forrins?
February 6, 2026 at 2:43 AM
Yep. And utterly bizarre to experience. Frightening...

I get £0 in benefits after contracting Covid-19 in 2020, but I want to work. Government & Heathcare incompetence & negligence is now proven. Hand santizer really worked. SEISS (taxable) gave me £1400 to last 2yrs. Housebound, often bedbound nearly 7yrs. I've lost everything, almost my home.

Despite receiving £2,100 each month, he has to use food banks to feed his family when times are particularly hard

This does cheer me up.

Coughs... and what about Boris Johnson and the drunken Italian affair without security cover at a Russian's castle (Lebedev who oddly became a peer courtesy of the former, for "philanthropy"). Coughs again. It's all treasonable.
Ed Davey, "We need a public inquiry"

"The threat to national security Peter Mandelson posed"

CHANGE THE LAW. We've had enough of Machiavellian darkness.
BREAKING: Lord Mandelson is to step down from the House of Lords immediately.

But he will keep his title as a peerage is bestowed for life - unless government changes the law.

🔵Today is #WorldWetlandsDay
The North York Moors, England, hosts special peatlands which also capture #archaeology as well as fauna & flora. From post-glacial tundra 12k yrs ago, Stoneage dense woodlands & hunters, first farmers, climate change, flint tools as ancient evidence, now grouse moors.

Important. However, I would contest 2 things, as an ongoing #LONGCOVID sufferer >6.5 years:
1) Strongly suggest that gut/abdominal issues are not just from severe Covid -19 infections; mild-to-moderate too.
2) The gastric, infmammatory & immune-based dysfunctions persist long after 2yrs
