Less famous than Stonehenge, the contemporary wooden monument of Seahenge is often forgotten.
By placing at the centre of their 'World of Stonehenge' exhibition, The British Museum subverted Stonehenge's iconic status.

Analysis of over 3000 human bones from Charterhouse Warren, England, indicates they were massacred, butchered, and likely partly consumed by enemies as a means to dehumanise them, questioning the idea that Early Bronze Age Britain was peaceful 🏺

If you're trans, you're trans. Live your life and get the most out of it. It's going to be hard no matter what. There's no reason to be proactive about limiting yourself or making it harder. Seize your own happiness, tranny! Nobody else is going to seize it for you!

think you should go read this :3
Bet you don’t think this is very useful right? A bone like this, it probably doesn't even preserve well. And what could we possibly use it for?

Wait! Just before you judge it just hear this bone out and stay here for a little.

Please note that these are images of plastic skeleton casts.

this is fucking disgusting. i hope this spells the doom of the labour party. fucking ghouls.
BREAKING: Labour will formally recognise trans women as ‘men’ tomorrow. It means trans women will be banned from all women shortlists and all Labour women’s groups. Revolting. The party’s relationship with LGBT+ is over.

So, the "clarity" that the Supreme Court ruling keeps getting hailed as, has in reality produced a rule that everyone from the Welsh National Opera to Wetherspoons have said they haven't the slightest intention of enforcing. What a surprise.
