It’s easy to feel powerless but Zahid Pranjol (Sussex) & Aleks Palanac (Leicester) shared so many ways we can take action individually or institutionally (see slides). Ask Gazans what they need then respond.

For #FamilyHistoryDay a gorgeous wax embossed seal on a will from 1869, part of my Dad’s collection of family documents that he only shared with me last week 😍 It’s ‘stitched’ in with paper/vellum, the whole structure is beautifully crafted

This is most telling (which they handily left out) - the richer you are the greater resiliency you have to cope with change. Who’d have thought!

Bonkers! I don’t know where they got their figures but the latest ONS data (2023) is lower, for a start, and the splits between lowest and highest earners are 🤯

Fun day with @brightonhovearch.bsky.social learning all about coins with David Rudling. Head swimming with facts! I didn’t realise they can tell us so much.

These are some of his brilliant examples - doubt we’ll find anything this exciting at Rocky Clump but you never know…

I only started digging in May (volunteering with BHAS at Rocky Clump in Sussex) so I’m excited by every little thing I find! But this small sherd of Roman samian ware pot with shell decoration was pretty special #FindsFriday
