One of my childhood friend's dads had polio as a child. He could walk, with crutches and a brace. He considered himself lucky.

I walk through cemeteries full of dead children pre 1940s (ie pre lots of vaccines). I am disgusted.

YouTuber Jimmy Corsetti and his fellow numpties have been trying to drive archaeologists off of that other platform.

If he ever shows up on this platform, let us know so that we can block him.

No, thankfully @jimmycorsetti.bsky.social is not he.

For #RomanFortThursday a basket found in a well at the eastern fort at Welzheim. The damp environment has preserved it in a good condition.

Great to see this volume in the world. Edited vols like this take a lot of time & work so congrats to the editors (wrote my chapter while pregnant- now planning a 6th birthday party 🙃). Spotted a few other @uclarchaeology.bsky.social contributions too…

I am quite late this year—although better late than never, I guess—, but I decided to do an advent calendar with ancient Egyptian objects.

What better way to start the calendar than with my favourite goddess, Taweret? 1/2

X, by all accounts, is dead, and dangerous. If you are still posting there and engaging with trolls/ghouls, download/delete your tweets, lock your account, and be done with it. This is aimed at archaeologists especially. Starve the ghouls. Let them scream at one another.

I wanted to test something and decided to quietly unlock my account for a bit this morning. As I suspected, Corsetti waited 6 days for the opportunity to return to the same post and, using an incredibly nonsensical statement, fling more harassment my way. I hold a lot of power over his imagination.
