It's deeply embarassing for any institution to cave to this kind of pressure. The idea that the term ancient Palestine is in any way wrong is just unscientific and ideological.

As someone who haa unfortunately had to work alongside Israeli archaeologists before I can tell you that institutional goal of Israeli archaelogy is not to find out about the past, but to fabricate falsehoods which support the myth of a land without a people.

'Erasing history': British Museum criticised for removing references to β€˜Palestine' from exhibits Museum bows to pressure from pro-Israel group to remove the term β€˜Palestine’, a move scholars and activists say is part of a β€˜systematic’ attack on Palestinian cultural identity

The ideological mission of Zionism is not only to destroy Palestine but to erase the idea that there ever was a Palestine. Israeli archaeologists actively enable the seizure of Palestinian land by declaring new "conservation sites" in order to militarise them.

I’m really bad at playing solo journaling games but have found that you can have just as much fun with them simply by playing them as 2-player games with another person you vibe with.

This evening I played To Honour and Obey by @laurieoc.bsky.social with my friend Catherine, and it was great!

Happy Monday.
Shipping prices on my website are going up on 01/02

I've been keeping them artificially low for a year now, they will still be lower than what it actually costs but their current level is untenable.

Feel free to pick something up today at the lower rate at twelvepinspress.com

It'll be a short A5 zine, 16-20 pages, most likely hand bound depenfing on order Q. I'll be donating a big chunk of proceeeds to organisations campaigning to end US military intervention in Venezuela. Unsure how to charge for it so lmk what you'd pay
