Increasingly worse

#Darfur
After months of brutal siege, reports of #RSF capture of El-Fasher #Darfur raise serious concerns of mass atrocities against civilians.

@eudiplomacy.bsky.social should urge #RSF to protect civilians, allow safe movement or face severe sanctions & accountability. #Sudan

El-Fasher: Rebel group claims capture of key city in Sudan
The fall of el-Fasher would cement the RSF's control of the west and reinforces a de facto split in the nation.

A meaningful coincidence to have this book in my hands today.
12 years ago 368 died few km off #lampedusa. Since, 31,000 people more lost their life in our shared sea.
A project I dreamed to do so many times. It's beautiful that has been done.

A teaspoon of soil contains more than just dirt, water, and worms. ⚒️ A recent review in the International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology shows how microplastics in the soil are altering its health, and potentially entering the food we eat. bit.ly/46q3fI7 #foodpolicy #envhum

Feminism is only intersectional.
And feminist archaeology goes well beyond gender, gender biases and gender violence.

We had withdrawn our paper from #EAA2025 until our session (176) organizers affirmed every voice must be heard. In a session on conflict, repression & violence, silence isn’t an option! #EngagedArchaeology #AcademicFreedom @archagainstaparth.bsky.social
Final refinement of our EAA talk with @mbiancadanna.bsky.social ✨Tracing the life cycle of Austro-Hungarian asylums. What can an archaeological & heritage perspective do to confront stigma & exclusion? #archaeologyofthepresentpast #engagedarchaeology @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social @oeai.bsky.social

Wasn't an easy decision: we will deliver our paper, due to the inclusive atmosphere that session 176 organizers granted.
We believe it is not a paper on discrimination, AktionT4, and heritage & power dynamics that should be silenced now.

Exactly
your periodic reminder that “archaeology isn’t political” is a political statement

I haven’t posted in a while, but now back after deleting my X in Sept. I’m a writer, poet, & anthropologist of heritage. My piece in @aljazeera.com on the destruction of Palestinian heritage & archeology as a mechanism of power says all you need to know about my views
🏺 An extremely important article from @morganvl.bsky.social about archaeology’s complicity in the current genocide of Palestinians and why archaeologists - and the organisations that claim to represent them - must speak up and refuse to stay neutral. www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...
