In case you think this sounds silly, here's our last sentence: "With four more years of a Trump presidency ahead, those of us in the Real World would do well to remember that preserving democracy is a process not an event: one that requires constant vigilance and a willingness to act." 💥🎤

*gazes into the distance* I simultaneously believe that humans have been like this for millennia and that we stand at a uniquely stupid moment in history

Help stop the Planning and Infrastructure Bill tearing up nature protections
I've written to my MP to demand that the UK Government adopts a nature-friendly approach to planning and development. Will you take action too?

No one plans a stroke. It comes with enormous physical, emotional, and financial costs.
Already, stroke survivors* struggle to access benefits like #PIP - and these cuts will leave more & more families affected by stroke & disability, with less & less. We must do better.

This week my employer of 17 years English Heritage announced 200 jobs lost, and my Alma mater Cardiff Uni announced 400 jobs lost. The planning system that protects our heritage and provides thousands of archaeology jobs is at risk, and Higher Education is in free fall more generally #ThisIsFine
